Chapter 2

Soon the soft strumming of a guitar filled the air before a mellow drum beat started to roll.

If we could see tomorrow
what of your plans
No one can live in sorrow
ask all your friends

Times that you took in stride
They're back in demand
I was the one who's washing
Blood off your hands

Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight

There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight
.

Andy stiffened as she listened to the words. It was Guns & Roses- Don't cry being played as she sat doing the opposite of that with her face hidden and her head still resting on the edge of the table.

Her head whipped up and she looked Traci and Gail mumbling a "Funny guys" before resting her head back on its spot on the table.

I know the things you wanted
They're not what you have
With all the people talkin' it's drivin' you
mad

If I was standing by you how would you feel
Knowing your love's decided
And all love is real Baby
And Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight

Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight.

"Um...Andy, that wasn't us" Traci whispered in her ear.

"Sam played it"

Traci's statement made Andy's head whip up again this time her gaze settling on Sam who was watching her intently.

I thought I could live in your world
As years all went by
With all the voices I've heard
Something has died
And when you're in need of someone
My heart won't deny you

So many seem so lonely
With no one left to cry to baby

And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight

There's a heaven above you baby
And Don't you cry tonight
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight

Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry…Tonight

She managed a huge grin as she sat looking at him, earning herself one of his dimpled grin's back. Although it was not a megawatt smile she could see he meant it.

"Hey I've got it" Gail suddenly shrieked slamming her beer bottle down on the table.

"Got what?" Traci asked jumping at Gail's sudden happiness.

"I've got the perfect song for Andy to play Callaghan. Who's got change?"

The women dug through their purses before Gail made her way over to the jukebox.

As she put the coins in she yelled over to Luke. "Hey homicide! This is a special dedication to you from Andy" before she made her selection & made her way back to her seat collapsing in a fit of giggles at the smug look he threw Sam's way.

Peck's comment was not missed by Sam either, having Andy dedicate a song to Callaghan now that was a bad thing.

After this whiskey was done Sam decided he would be leaving. He really was in no mood for the direction things seemed to be headed in and he would not subject himself to more unnecessary punishment.

Soon more guitar notes filled the air as a beat followed and Kelly Clarkson's voice sang out her song Stronger.

You know the bed feels warmer,
Sleeping here alone,
You know I dream in colour,
And do the things I want.

You think you got the best of me
Think you've had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone.

Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter

Footsteps even lighter
doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
you heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on, over you,

You didn't think that I'd come back, I'd come back swinging

You try to break me but you see

what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
stand a little taller
doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter

Footsteps even lighter
doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I

what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not the broken hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking 'bout me

You know in the end the day I left was just my beginning... in the end...

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
what doesn't kill you makes a fighter

Footsteps even lighter
doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger

Just me, Myself and I

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, Myself and I

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
I'm not alone.

Sam cocked an eyebrow at the opening lyrics. Well that he did not need to know. Casing a glance at Andy and her table, he was amused to see the three of them singing into their beer bottles quite enjoying the words.

As the song went on Sam changed his gaze to settle on a very unhappy looking Callaghan. He gave a slight chuckle as he turned his head over his arms resting on the bar and caught Andy's eye.

She went into one very flustered look. Sam sent her a smile much wider than the first, moments before, earning him a bigger one in return before she looked away and carried on singing into her bottle.

Maybe he would stay a while longer.

"Judging by the look on Lukewarm's face I'd say he got the message" Traci giggled as the song finished.

Having seen Sam's face she added a quick "I think Swarek did too"

"Shut up" Andy said swatting Traci's arm in playfulness.

"Hey go play Sam a song" Gail suddenly voiced.

"No way! Uh-hu" Andy said shaking her head.

"Oh come on you played one for Lukewarm and he got the message. Soooooo?..." Traci was like a child the night before Christmas at Gail's idea.

"No!" Andy was giggling like a school girl when Sam looked back at them.

'I'm defiantly the topic of that conversation' he thought at seeing her face turn a brighter red than it already was.

Maybe this wouldn't be such a bad thing after all. Waving Liam over he exchanged a note for some coins before making his way over to the jukebox.

'What the hell! It can't get any worse can it?' He scanned the playlist with intent before making his choice and taking up his seat ordering another whiskey. He kept his eyes focused on the mirror behind the bar counter not daring to look at Andy or her table.

The slow tune of 3 doors downs - Here without you drummed through the air.

A hundred days have made me older
since the last time that I saw your pretty face.

A thousand lies have made me colder

And I don't think I can look at this the same.

All the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face.

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind.
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, it's only you and me.

The miles just keep rollin'
as the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go.

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind.
I think about you baby and I
dream about you all the time.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, it's only you and me.

Everything I know, and anywhere I go,
It gets hard but it won't take away my love.
And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done.
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
.

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind.
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time.
I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, it's only you and me.

Andy sat staring at Sam eyes wide mouth slightly open in total and utter disbelief.

"Looks like he beat you to it" Traci said sticking her bottle to her lips before she burst into a fit of giggles at Andy's face.

Throughout the song Andy sat staring at Sam who sat staring at himself in the mirror while Callaghan stared between the two.

He knew Swarek was lusting after Andy and that there was something from Andy's side but that- that was not what he had expected. Finishing his drink he ordered another and a round for Andy's table. There was no way he was giving up without a fight. So he sent the round of tequila's and beer over hoping to gain some grace in Andy's good books.

Andy turned flustered to Gail and Traci before she started babbling. "Ok so now what? What the hell is that supposed to mean ...I mean...shit" she bit off her words at hearing them with her own ears.

Liam arrived with the round and pointed over to Luke as he set the drinks down.

Glancing up at Sam Andy saw his eyebrow raise in all but an amused look before he turned away looking at his tumbler with great interest.

"Son of a bitch does it again!" Andy sighed as she rolled her eyes at Luke's attempt piss her off more.

"Ok so now you have to go play a song for Sam!" Traci said catching the look on Sam's face as he turned away.

"Like what Trace? And how do I get him to get the message? Argh!" Andy was clearly frustrated.

"Think of what you wanna say to Sam and then think of a song. First one that jumps to mind you play. Now go" she said ushering Andy off her chair.

"And how is Sam supposed to know it's for him and not that?" Andy whispered in concern as she nodded to Luke as she said 'that'.

"Oh I got that covered!" Gail said triumphantly.

Andy took her time walking over to the jukebox lost in thought. She ran her eyes over the playlist for a split second before a title caught her eye. It wasn't what she really wanted to say but maybe he would sense her hesitation and therefore understand her choice. As she dropped her coins in she saw Gail jump up.

"Hey Swarek you listening? Andy's next song is a special dedication just for you"

Andy rolled her eyes at Gail's lack of subtleness.

She saw Sam turn to Gail before turning to her. His eyebrow shot up and that cocky grin graced his face. She flashed a sassy one of her own before keying in her selection and walking away.

Sam was surprised to say the least. Andy is not one of those out there kinds of people. He had not expected her to play the game he was, the way he was, but the fact that she was willing to spoke silent volumes.

Hearing her selection was going to be interesting indeed.

A\N: short I know but I can't give everything away now can I?
