As a mobile phone was thrown haphazardly across a desk "Arghh, bloody hell why me?" was all that was heard bouncing off the walls in the dark halls of the Runway office.
"Bad month, that's all. Just a bad month. I mean i could not have this bad a karma"
Pacing up and down, the voice continued as the beautiful brunette woman tried to figure out what to do next. She was very aware that at anytime now the book would be in her hands ready for her to deliver to the townhouse and that she would have to be completely focused on that, but for now so much was bouncing through her mind.
"Ok, so i do my usual and get the hell out of there as fast as i possibly can. Why tonight? after all this time what could have possibly made them want to spend time with me?" Andy groaned as her head hit the table. "I'm so screwed"

'Thud' "Here's the book Andy"
"Gee how many times have i told you not to throw it around Mark? Do you realise what Miranda will do to you if she knew about this?"
"Um im sorry, i didn't even.. It's just that, and you, and then. Ah hell im going home. Good luck."
"Mark, what? You obviously have something you want to say. Right?"
"Nooo? Well yer, it's just that you seem to be able to do whatever you want, and she never say's a word and the rest of us even breath in her direction and we get the 'look'"
Andy chuckling "Really? well if you knew how many times i had received that look before i pulled my head out my arse and focused on what i could do to make her days easier. Ah screw it you are not going to work it out until you are without a job because of your carelessness. I have this to deliver. Bye." She walks away grabbing her purse and jacket, whilst shaking her head.

"We're there Miss Sacks" 30 minutes later Roy pulls up out front of the townhouse
"Thank's Roy, you can head off home now. I'm heading out to see some old friends once i leave here" she says sounding rather dejected.
"You sure miss, it's just you don't sound very happy about it?"
"Yep im not, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I guess" Andy sighs as you climbs out the car
"Yep. Totally don't need this right now"

Andy walks through the front door, places the book on the front table and the dry cleaning in the hallway cupboard and ever so quietly walks out the front door, locking it and then down the steps. She looks left and right whilst making a decision as to which way would be the best to arrive at the club her supposed friends were at.
8 months and she had not heard anything off either of them and now all of a sudden they want to freaking catch up and have a drink? 'nope something is suspicious here' is all that she could think over the last 7 hours ever since the plans were made.
Arriving Andy made her way to the stocky woman standing at the entrance
"Yo, girl,long time no see"
"Been busy Mag, had a lot of shit to sort through"
"All good girl. Just good to see you back. Doug and Lily are already inside and i am pretty damn sure Nate went in as well"
"Fuck! I really do not need this shit right now! Seriously do they think i am going to get with his arse again or apologise for what he thinks is wrong?"
"Dunno girl. If you need any help to get out of here just holla, i be comin"
"Ok hun i will let you know" Andy smiles sadly and makes her way into the pounding music.

Spotting the people she was there to see wave at her and disappointed that there was an extra one at the table. Shaking her head Andy begins to make her way to the table and all she can think about is how angry she was. She feels railroaded into seeing someone she had no wish to lay eyes on again. Especially after the harsh words he had screamed at her as he left the small apartment they had shared since they had moved to New York.
Much to her chagrin they were on her case the second she walked up to the table "Andy you're here. I didn't think you would be able to get away from work" was the first comment from her supposed best friend Lily. Straight away Doug tells her to hush and points at a chair for Andy to sit in.
"Hi girl" he say's leaning over and giving her a peck on the cheek.
"Hey Dougie, long time no see" was her barely heard reply.
"So do i get one of the Andy?"
"What Nate"
"A kiss?"
"No that's not going to be happening and you should be damn lucky i have not slapped you in the face and walked away already. I had no idea you were going to be here and to be honest with you if i had known there is no way i would have came. So no Nate you will not be getting one"
"Shit Andy why are you so pissed at him?"
"You know what Lil. If you had asked me when it happened i would have told you. Instead you avoid me like the plague for months on end. You don't return my calls, texts or any other form of communication. So right now i really don't care if you never forgive me for telling you to keep out of my business and thankyou for deserting and hurting me when you think i changed" Andy stands pushing her chair back and begins walking away from a table of people who were angry because she had grown up and had finally began to find her place in the world.
"Andy wait, please come back"
Turning back to the image of the people who were once consider her family she just cant do it. She looks into the eyes of the one who had asked her to come back and tells him "I can't. I don't want to go through this again because nothing has changed, and by the looks of this ambush nothing will. Goodbye, i wish you all the best"
"What the hell have we done?" was heard coming from the table..
With tears in her beautiful big sad eyes she turns around and walks out of the club and does not look back again.

After climbing in the first taxi she could find Andy gave her address and made her way home, where she climbed into bed and cried herself to sleep.
