I'm so sorrrrrry its been forever
"Prongs wake lily up... I don't know which house is hers" Remus said from the driver's seat.
"Hey Evans... Wake up" James said slightly shaking the redhead's shoulder. All he got was a mumbled response before she leaned into his embrace searching for his body heat.
"Hey come on... get up" he said gripping her again. She grumbled and opened her eyes.
"What?" she mumbled closing her eyes again.
"What house do you live in?" Remus asked loudly.
He too received a mumbled response.
"What did she say?" James asked out loud.
"Cookie cutter" replied a very drunk Sirius from the passenger's seat.
Remus and James both looked at him in confusion as he took another long drink from Lily's bottle.
"Give me that Padfoot" Remus said gently, prying the bottle from Sirius' hands.
"Hey Evans wake up!" Sirius yelled before dissolving into a fit of giggles.
"It's at the end dipshits..." she muttered snuggling further into James' warmth. He was having a difficult time keeping his erection at bay with her rubbing into him like that.
"Umm left or right?" James asked ignoring her scented hair.
"Neither" she mumbled.
"OHHH I SEE IT!" Sirius exclaimed excitedly pointing to the large house at the end of the road.
Remus drove to the front of the house and stopped the car.
"What do we do now?" James asked.
"Um… well we have to get her inside. Think her parents are home?" Remus asked awkwardly.
"Cant we just take her to your place… I don't really want to find out if Mr. Evans is a nice man or not" James said.
"Well I guess, ask her first" Remus said remembering her band mate's tone of voice.
"Hey Evans…do you want to go home… or to Remus' house?"
"In my happy home… I barely breathe… in my lover's arms… I find relief" she slowly sang with her eyes closed.
James exchanged an exasperated look with Remus before gently shaking Lily.
"Awe crap I'm going!" she exclaimed before clumsily wrenching her things toward her and climbing out of the car.
James watched her closely as she swayed down the path to her front door and eventually opened the door stumbling in.
The car was silent for a moment.
"That was fun" Sirius said happily, earning strange looks from his friends.
"All right let's go" Remus said driving away.
"LILITH!" the green toad shouted from its hovering black cloud.
It kept shouting before she realized that it wasn't the toad shouting her name, it was her father.
Burying her face deeper into her warm pillows she groaned in annoyance.
Slowly rising from her warm covers and trying to ignore the pounding in her skull she put on her shoes and walked downstairs where her father was waiting impatiently.
"What?" she asked scratching her head. Her make up from the night before was still smeared on her face and her hair was tangled into a mass of deep crimson.
"You have a phone call, and after you are finished you are going to wash up and then you are coming to my office so we can discuss you're behavior as of late" he snarled before walking away leaving the phone on its small table.
Lily watched him walk away through half lidded eyes and stifled another yawn.
"Hello" she mumbled into the receiver.
"Lily!" Someone said happily on the other end.
"yeah, hey Jaz" she muttered in response.
"I was just making sure you got home safe, who were those weird guys that showed up last night?" Jasmine asked causing Lily to think for a moment.
"uhhh they were just some guys from my school" Lily said.
"Oh ok… well Adrian is really excited that we have a new manager…" Jasmine said.
"Oh Yeah…. He's cool… I'll bring him to our practices and fill him in on stuff" Lily said yawning.
"Lily did you just wake up?" Jasmine asked holding in a giggle.
"Yeah what time is it?" Lily asked.
"2:30 in the afternoon" she replied.
"Oh well I have to go… my dad is being a dick" Lily said.
"Ok well get ready for tomorrows show and rest your voice!" Jasmine exclaimed.
"Ok ok I will… Bye Jaz"
"Bye Lily" and the line went dead.
Lily slowly hung the phone up and contemplated going back to bed, she decided to see what her father wanted first.
Walking through the familiar hallways that led to her dad's study she let the memories of her childhood taunt her with every little detail that her young mind would notice.
Coming to her dad's open door she slowly peered inside. He was sitting at his desk reading something.
Her dad was a complicated man. Aside from being an asshole he had some interesting qualities. She remembered when she was about five years old, she had ventured into the garage and found boxes upon boxes of vinyl music records.
He had almost every rock record from the 50's and 60's and they were just collecting dust in the garage. Lily had fallen in love with the interesting artwork and mesmerizing pictures that had let her childish imagination run free.
For years she would sneak into the garage and look at all the records and she practiced reading the lyrics but she hardly ever heard the tune until she was 7 and she found an old record player and asked Petunia to help her set it up.
When she was 9 she asked him about them and he told her that music was a waste of time.
So she took the records out of their hiding spot and took them to her room.
Once when they were arguing over her choice of lifestyle he admitted that he too once had dreams of being a musician, but his father had put some sense into his head and he learned to be realistic. He also said that he would do the same with her.
Lily hated being realistic.
"Why are you standing there like an idiot?" He asked her when he noticed her standing in the doorway staring at him.
Lily continued to stare at him as she made her way inside the room filled with cigar smoke. She sat in the chair across from his desk and instantly felt like she was in trouble.
"Lilith… I have made some arrangements this summer to have you attend bible study with our church and your step mother has gotten you some special lessons with Madame Ursula" he announced with a note of finality.
"Why?" Lily asked bluntly with an air of disgust.
"Because I have had enough of your rabid behavior and its time you learned how to be a lady since your mother is obviously not teaching you" He said in a low tone, irritated that she dared ask questions.
"But I'm supposed to be in California this summer" she said back, how dare he, she had plans for this summer.
"We'll arrange something" he said forcefully.
"No… I'm not going to do it... there's no point" she retaliated.
"You will do as I say Lilith. How on earth are you going to find a husband with the way you act now days" he said with disgust in his voice.
"I don't want to get married" Lily growled. Her father gave her a condescending look.
"You will take these lessons in the summer and you will do it willingly or I will have nothing to do with you anymore. Now go up stairs and get ready, we are having a celebration in honor of your brother tonight. Sylvia will have your dress." he said going back to his papers on his desk.
Lily stared at her father in disbelief and slowly stood up from her chair. She turned around still trying to understand what was happening.
She had to go find Sylvia, the maid.
She found her an hour later doing laundry. Once she walked in the woman jumped in surprise.
"I need the dress" Lily said. The maid quickly reached for something and pulled out a large parcel.
From what little of the dress that Lily could see, she had already seen too much lace and frill for her own good.
"Who picked out the dress?" Lily asked.
"Mrs. Evans" the maid supplied.
"thanks" Lily said taking the monstrosity and walking away.
"Lily left her coat in my car" Remus announced walking into James' room with Sirius.
"we should give it back then" James said quickly. Sirius gave him a strange look and James coughed lightly.
"yeah I was thinking that we should do that in a bit." Remus said sitting in a chair.
"yesterday was fun" Sirius said smiling.
"yeah. I would never have guessed that Evans could sing like that" James mumbled briefly remembering her standing at the microphone.
"so what does a manager do?" Sirius asked, Remus and James gave him blank looks.
"you'll have to ask Lily" Remus said.
"I wonder what her parents are like" James said.
"They're divorced... Her mom lives in California" Sirius said.
Remus and James both looked at him curiously.
"why are you looking at me like that? I talk to Evans" Sirius said defensively
"when?" James asked incredulously.
"randomly" Sirius said nodding his head.
"we should go now, we don't want to intrude on anything" Remus said. The other two boys agreed and started to get up.
