Susie finally got up, after an hour of pointless tossing and turning. She could smell breakfast being cooked. Probably Lily she thought with a smile. Lily had always been the chef. Susie pulled a large shirt on that she found in the closet. It was Sirius', but she didn't care. Pulling on a pair of boxers with My Little Pony on them, she padded outside. Instead of going towards the kitchen, she went in the direction of Remus' room.
"Remus," she called as she pushed his door open. Remus was sitting up in bed, barely up.
"I hope I didn't wake you," she said, pushing the door closed behind her.
"No I woke up a couple of minutes before you came in." She went and sat on his bed, lying down next to him.
"Ugh Remus, this is horrible. Sirius knows that I'm keeping something from him, and then he demanded that I apologize to him."
"But shouldn't you?"
"No!" Susie sat up. "He's a deceitful, lying sneak, and an arrogant jerk!"
"But he's upset that you're keeping something from him."
"He has no right to listen in on my conversations!" She lay back down next to him and sighed. "I told him that it had nothing to do with him, but that's a lie. It has everything to do with him. I don't know what would happen if he ever found out." Remus reached down, stroking her face.
"Look sweetie, it'll be fine. I'm sure he'll come apologize and you two will completely forget about it." Susie shrugged.
"I guess." She looked up at Remus. "Thanks Rems, you're a good friend." Remus smiled and gave her a hug.
"I'm here for you." He sighed. I wish there was more to it then just being friends. He had a frown on his face.
"What's wrong Remus?"
"It's nothing really, it's just, well," At that moment, Sirius came in. He saw Susie sitting on the bed with Remus and his face fell.
"I'm leaving." He then shut the door. Susie looked like she was ready to cry.
"I hate being in a fight with him. But I've gotta do what I've gotta do." She stood up, wiping the sleeve of what looked like Sirius' shirt across her eyes.
"Thanks Remus," she reached down and gave him a hug and then went to the kitchen where Lily was calling them. Susie pulled a stool up to the kitchen island where Lily had just ladled some eggs onto plates.
"Take it," she indicated to the plate. Sirius was sitting on the other end, playing with the eggs on his plate. He looked at Susie, who was dressed in one of his shirts and a pair of boxers that she liked to wear to bed sometimes. Maybe that meant something. So far she hadn't spoken a word to him, so that was a bad thing.
Later, everyone was sitting there trying to figure out what to do.
"Well me and Lils wanted to check out Park Place, that amusement park, sorta, on the pier, if anyone wants to come," Vicky put in.
"I'm gonna go walking around the pier some," Susie said.
"I'll go with you," Remus said. She smiled gratefully at him. She looked at Sirius, but dropped her gaze quickly.
"I'm going with Vics and Lily," he said. Susie looked slightly hurt, but didn't say anything; her pride keeping her mouth glued shut.
Susie wandered along the pier with Remus.
"I really thought he was gonna come with me Remus." She was still hurt that had chosen to go with her two best friends, instead of his own girlfriend. It didn't matter that she was mad at him or not.
"Susie, it's gonna be fine. It's obvious he's miserable without you." Susie shrugged.
"Anyways, let's just forget about all that, for now." She stopped at a booth, looking at some stuff.
At Park Place, Sirius had his hands stuffed in his pockets while he followed Vicky and Lily as they excitedly walked around. He refused to go on any rides and he had a lot of girls throwing him flirtatious glances. Most of them came up to him and he told them point blank that he had a girlfriend who wouldn't appreciate him chatting it up with other girls.
Lily stopped at looked at Sirius, who had just refused another girl giving him her phone number. He had looked utterly confused the first time a girl had handed him a piece of paper with seven digits on them. It had taken Lily to quietly explain to him that she wanted him to call her for purposes that involved hooking up and dating. He learned his lesson, promptly refusing any other offers.
"Look Sirius, it's perfectly obvious that you're miserable without Susie, go find her. I hate seeing you like this. She should be somewhere on the pier. We'll see you later okay?" She dragged Vicky off towards the roller coaster. This left Sirius no choice but to walk around the pier. After 20 minutes of walking around, he spotted Susie and Remus at the ice cream booth. Taking a deep breath, he approached them. He rehearsed what he was gonna say in his head.
This was all new for Sirius. Sirius never apologized to girl. If he got in a fight with one of his many flavors of the week, he would just dump them and find someone else. He had never been in a long term relationship. He had never been so in love with a girl. And the girl he loved was furious at him, and her pride kept her from saying a word to him.
"Hey Remus," he said. Remus nodded. He looked at Susie and opened his mouth, but when Susie turned her gaze towards him, the words flooded out of his mind. He looked into her beautiful sapphire blue eyes and everything she felt for him at that moment was showing in her eyes. His elaborate speech fell apart and he practically threw himself at her, begging her forgiveness.
"Susie, god I'm so sorry. I've been so miserable without you." Remus took this as his cue to leave and he headed back to the beach house.
"Sirius, I've been perfectly miserable without you. It's been horrible," she sobbed, her eyes filling up with tears. Sirius wrapped his arms around her.
"Let's never fight again," he said softly, kissing the top of her head.
Susie blinked away tears. "No," she replied, letting him hold her in his arms. She was back to herself in his arms. She had felt so broken, so incomplete without Sirius. It was like he was her soul mate.
Sirius felt so happy that he was with his girl again. When they had been fighting, it had felt like a part of him was missing. Now with her here in his arms, he felt back to his old self. He looked down. It was like Susie fit perfectly in his arms. He didn't want to let her go.
Eventually, Sirius let go of her. He was just happy to be with her again. He didn't want to let her out of his sight. She looked up at him.
"Sirius, let's go to Park Place," she said, smiling.
Lily and Vicky were waiting in line for the Dragon when Lily spotted Jay.
"Oh my god, Vics, there's Jay. Argh, how do I look?" Vicky had an amused smile on her face.
"Lily you look great, here he comes, I'm shutting up." Jay came up to them.
"Hey Lily, I didn't know you'd be here."
"Yeah, well I wanted to come check it out," she said with a smile. Vicky had slowly inched away from the couple, accidentally bumping into a couple of guys.
"Sorry," she said, moving away from them. The guys were eying her, but she walked over to the entrance of the park. She spotted Remus sitting at the entrance.
"Remus, what are you doing here?" she asked.
"Oh, well Sirius threw himself at Susie, begging her forgiveness and I didn't want to stay and ruin their moment, so I left." He sounded almost bitter. Almost...
"Well Lils is in there talking to that guy Jay, the waiter from the other day."
"Oh, so she ditched you too?"
"Well sort of, I didn't want to be the third wheel."
Remus nodded. "I know how that is. Well," he stood up, holding his arm out, "Would you like to accompany me for a walk around the pier?" Vicky smiled and took his arm, leaving with Remus.
Later on that day, Sirius and Susie decided to wander along the beach. She sighed as they walked down the beach; hand in hand, watching the sunset.
"It's so gorgeous," she sighed.
"Like you," he said. Susie blushed and smiled.
"Sirius, it's been a nice day," she said, referring to the lovely day they had spent together at Park Place. They had spent a good amount of the day walking around. Sirius had kept buying food and ended up feeding a good amount of it to Susie.
Susie sat down on the sand, pulling Sirius down next to her. He pushed his hair out of his eyes and sat down, looking at Susie.
"I missed you," he said. She looked over at him.
"I'm right here silly," she said, smiling.
"Yeah but I haven't gotten to do this in a while." He leaned over and gave her a very long, passionate kiss. She sighed against his lips as he tangled his fingers in her hair, his arm wrapped around her waist.
"I missed you too," she said breathlessly when they broke apart. He pulled her up, walking back to the beach house. Vicky and Lily descended on them when they entered the beach house. Sirius decided to let Susie talk to the girls while he went to talk to Remus.
"So what happened?" Vicky asked excitedly.
Susie relayed what happened at the pier and the day they spent together at Park Place.
"And the most romantic part is, that we were on the Ferris wheel and we were stopped at the top and then he gave me a kiss and told me he loved me. It was so romantic." All three girls sighed. Sirius and Remus walked in at that moment, hearing the girls sigh.
"Their probably talking about one of us mate," Sirius said loudly. Susie giggled and Sirius came and sat next to her.
"So what are we doing for dinner?" Lily asked.
"Actually, ummm Mr. and Mrs. Williams invited all of us along to go to dinner in the city."
"Good, we've already had too much sea food," Remus complained. Vicky and Lily laughed. There was a knock at the door and Cherie came bursting in.
"C'mon guys, we're going to L.A. to eat and then Mom and Dad are gonna drop us off on Hollywood and Highland so we can party," she grinned. Dylan appeared at the door.
"That took some convincing," he said, smiling at Vicky. Everyone went to go change. Sirius shut the door as Susie looked through her clothes.
"We don't have time to shag," she said as he came up behind her.
"I wasn't thinking that. Get your mind out of the gutter," he said with a grin. "Anyways, I was thinking we do that later." She pulled out a black button up shirt and a pair of jeans, throwing them at him.
"Do you always pick my clothes?" he asked her.
"Yes," she said smiling. She finally picked out a tight black spaghetti strap shirt and a blue mini skirt.
"What do you think of this?" she asked him.
"That's hot," he said.
"Now I'm gonna have to ask you to close your eyes."
"Why?" Sirius pouted. "You said it yourself that it's not like I haven't seen you without your clothes."
"Yeah, but it turns you on when I take my pants off in front of you and we don't have time to shag." Sirius smirked, but closed his eyes, occasionally peeking.
"Stop that," she said smiling as he peeked again. Finally she pulled the skirt on, zipping it up. She pulled her shirt off and Sirius opened his eyes.
"I've seen you naked," he stated, staring at her. She finally managed to get dressed and get her make- up on. Sirius had already gotten dressed, his jeans practically falling off his hips in a sagging kind of way.
"Cute boxers," she commented as she breezed past him, pulling on her My Little Pony boxers that Sirius was wearing. Sirius just grinned.
Later that night, they pulled up to a large strip of clubs, crowded with people. Sirius leaned over to Susie.
"Everyone wants to know exactly what this is. I mean, it's full of muggles right." Susie nodded.
"Sirius hon, everything down here is muggle. No magic, well that magic that IS here, so I've heard, is carefully guarded. No one finds out about that." Sirius relayed the message, making sure Cherie, Dylan and her parents didn't hear. The car stopped in the middle of the street and Cherie opened her door, motioning for everyone to get out.
"Bye mom, I'll see you later dad." She pointed at her cell phone and then left, waiting for the rest of the group to join them on the sidewalk.
"C'mon guys, let's go find a club." They walked up and down the strip, looking for a club they could get into. They managed to find an under 21 club that they could get into called Aqua. Cherie, Dylan, Vicky, and Lily disappeared and Remus, Sirius and Susie headed to the bar.
"Drinks for 18 Over, ID required" She took a look at the list of drinks. Then she looked at the bartender, batting her eyes at him. The bartender stared at her.
"What'll you have?" he asked, forgetting about the 18 and over rule. They ordered their drinks.
"Hey what are you doing flirting with bartenders?" Sirius asked jokingly. Susie laughed.
"I was getting us drinks." The bartender came over with their drinks, setting them down. Susie plopped her money down for the drinks. After a few minutes, Susie wanted to dance. She took Sirius' arm, which was around her waist and tried to pull him off the stool.
"What?" he asked.
"C'mon let's dance," she said.
"No way," he said, shaking his head. Susie pouted but she spotted Cherie, who was heading over their way.
"Susie, let's dance!" she called over the loud music. She threw a flirtatious glance at Remus and walked off with Susie, staying in Sirius' line of vision. He watched the two girls dancing, Susie swinging her hips in time with the music. The way she was dancing was absolutely sensual, turning Sirius on with each movement. He suddenly stood up.
"I'm going to dance Moony," he said. He tapped Cherie, who let him cut in. She sat down next to Remus.
"So you wanna dance?" she asked. Remus stood up.
"Sure, let's go."
Susie moved her hips as Sirius joined her, replacing Cherie. He put his arms around her, his hands resting on her hips. She continued to move, grinding up against Sirius.
"You look really hot," he told her in her ear. She just smiled, knowing just how turned on he was. She could feel it as she ground up against him. The more she moved, the harder Sirius got. This was killing him. Grabbing her hips, he grinded harder against her, making her press harder against him.
"Sirius," she giggled. "Looks like you've got a little problem back there."
Meanwhile, Remus and Cherie were dancing together on the floor, Cherie moving in time with the music. Remus studied Cherie. He had to admit, she was very good looking with sun kissed blonde hair, streaked with highlights and sparkling blue eyes. Not like Susie's eyes, not at all, but they were fitting to her.
Lily was to be found, dancing with a boy who looked to about 18 with brown hair and baby blue eyes. Vicky was up against the wall, snogging, or making out as they call it in the States, with Dylan.
Later on, Cherie looked at her watch. It was already 2:45 AM. She asked Remus to go find everyone and get them to meet her in the front where she was calling her parents. Remus weaved in and out of the crowds, searching for his friends. He spotted Lily first. Tapping her, interrupting her dance with a blue eyed, brown haired guy, he told her they were going and to go meet Cherie at the front. She grumbled something, but left the guy she had been dancing with.
Remus later found Vicky and Dylan, grinding up against each other. Remus felt so confused and lost. Here was the girl of his dreams, who had just earlier so openly desired a relationship with him. He, being the stupid git he was, turned her down. Then there was Susie, he had a crush on her for a while, but she was with Sirius. If anything EVER happened between the two, he was sure Sirius would never speak to him again.
"Vics, let's go," he called over the music. Dylan let go of Vicky and headed toward the entrance, tugging Vicky along with him. She looked back at Remus with almost a sad look in her eyes but he lost her glance.
Finally, he found Sirius and Susie, in a corner, snogging. He hated to interrupt them, but he really wanted to go home. Everyone was probably already waiting outside. When they had finally broken apart and Sirius was latched onto her neck, Remus cleared his throat. Susie's eyes flew open and Sirius growled something, but looked up.
"We're leaving," he told them and turned around to leave. Susie managed to get Sirius off of her and stood up.
"C'mon, let's go," she said, pulling him up. He pouted, but followed her.
"How come Remus always interrupts us?" he asked as they made their way to the front. A guy came up behind Susie, slapping her ass.
"What the hell?" she whirled around to face the guy. "Don't freakin touch me, ass wipe," she told him. Sirius was ready to leave, but turned to see why Susie had stopped. The guy chuckled.
"Ah, I've found a hot British girl," he said. Sirius stepped up in front of her.
"Yeah, and her boyfriend. Back off mate." The guy frowned, but his frown turned into a sneer.
"Oh yeah, what are you gonna do about it?" Susie pulled on Sirius' hand.
"C'mon, he's not worth it. Just another horny jerk. Let's just go!" She tried to get him to leave, but he wouldn't.
"No, I'm not gonna let him get away with touching you," he looked back at the guy, who was standing there with the same sneer on his face. Suddenly the guy threw a punch in Sirius' direction. Susie gasped and moved out of the way as Sirius ducked out of the way. A crowd started to gather around them as they ended up on the floor, throwing punches at each other.
"Sirius, stop!" Susie yelled at him. He refused to listen. Meanwhile, outside, Cherie looked at her watch.
"Hey how come Sus and Sirius aren't out here?" she asked. Remus groaned.
"I told them to get out here, their probably still in there snogging or something." Lily was standing at the entrance.
"Hey guys, there's a fight going on here." They heard Susie yelling over the noise.
"Oh no," Remus muttered as he pushed his way through the crowd, followed by the rest of their group. Remus finally got through and he saw Sirius sitting on top of a guy, punching the lights out of him. He already had a black eye. Susie was yelling at Sirius to stop from the other side. She looked up and saw Remus.
"Stop him!" she yelled at him. She spotted 2 bouncers pushing their way through the crowd, followed by a police officer.
"Shit," she cursed. Remus finally got to the two, pulling Sirius off the guy and dragging him away from the fight, followed by Susie, who looked extremely unhappy. They all hurried out of the club. Cherie, Dylan and Vicky were standing outside. Lily was with Susie. Cherie took one look at Sirius and started heading down the street.
"Act normal," she told them. They walked a block till they were standing on the corner. Susie immediately jumped on Sirius.
"I can't believe you; you should've just walked away! He wasn't worth it, you could've gotten hurt, or arrested or worse!" She looked like she was ready to kill.
"Yeah, you think I was gonna let him get away with touching you?? And plus, he started it, he tried to punch me first!" Lily stepped in between the two.
"Look you guys, let's just get on home. Sirius is hurt, and we should go." Mr. Williams pulled up on the corner. Luckily, it was dark and he couldn't see the shiner Sirius had gotten.
Later back at the beach house, Lily had left Susie with some medication and a piece of meat that she had gotten from Cherie. Sirius lay on the bed with the meat over his eye. Susie was sitting on one side of him, nursing the cuts on his face. He winced as she pressed the pad onto a particularly nasty cut.
"Take off your shirt," she told him. Sitting up, he pulled his shirt off. His ribs were black and blue. She sighed. She started to wrap them up, pulling on the bandage, making it tighter.
"Ow!" he yelled when she pulled it harder. She frowned and continued to tighten the bandages until they would stay. When she was finished, she lay down next to him. She turned to look at him.
"Thanks." He looked at her.
"For what?"
"For standing up for me."
Sirius grinned. "No problem. Like I'd let that bloke touch you and get away with it." She hit him in the arm.
"But that still doesn't mean I forgive you for getting in a fight. You could've gotten hurt or arrested or something."
"I already am hurt," he said, trying to make light of the situation.
"It could've been worse. What if you had been killed?" she whispered, not daring to speak the words louder. Sirius saw how worried she had been. Pulling her into his arms, he sighed. He had already pulled the meat off his eye.
"I know, but I'm fine. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere okay?" She looked up at him and smiled.
"I know you're not." They stayed like that for a while, Susie in the warmth of Sirius' arms. Vicky came in.
"How are you feeing Sirius?" she asked quietly. He didn't move. Susie had fallen asleep in his arms.
"Better, Susie nursed me back to health," he said, smiling.
"Well okay, I'm going to bed." She turned to go, but then turned back around shutting the door.
"Sirius, can I talk to you about something?"
"Sure." She sat on the bed and Sirius shifted carefully, trying to not wake Susie up.
"Well," she looked uncomfortable. "You know how everyone was hinting at me that Remus liked me?" Sirius nodded. "Well I finally figure it out but it was already too late. You see, the other night, we kissed and then a couple of nights later I asked him what was going to happen and he said he wasn't sure and that we should wait." Sirius frowned.
"I don't understand that. Normally Remus would've jumped on that opportunity as fast as he could. He's been in love with you since 3rd year or so."
"But why did he refuse me?" she asked, her lip quivering. "He was basically telling me that he didn't want to be with me right now, maybe later or something."
"Why, now you like him?"
"I can't stop thinking about him," she said quietly.
"Well what about this Dylan guy? I mean, I did see you two getting pretty cozy at the club."
"Well, I just didn't want to sulk and think about Remus so much since he rejected me," she said bitterly.
"So basically, you're using this Dylan guy, Susie's ex boyfriend to be exact, so that you won't think about Remus, since he rejected you?"
"Well you've got it right on target Sirius," she said. Sirius thought for a second.
"I just don't understand why Remus would do that, that's pretty weird. You know, last month when Susie got hurt, James told me something. It was a suspicion of his. He told me that if I ever suspected that Remus liked Susie a little more then just friends and wasn't telling us? I told him no way, their just good friends, but I think there's something weird going on with Remus that we need to ask him about." He got up quietly, letting go of Susie and pulling a blanket of her body. He kissed her forehead and went out the door, beckoning for Vicky to follow him.
Knocking on Remus' door, Sirius let himself in. Remus was sitting on the bed, wide awake.
"Hey Sirius, how's your eye?" Sirius shrugged.
"Okay, but we've come to talk to you?"
"We've?" Remus questioned. Vicky stepped up, her eyes shining.
"Yes Remus, we," she said.
"Remus, Vicky told me what happened between you two, what's going on?" Sirius demanded. Remus sighed.
"Nothing, I-I just don't want to get in a relationship right now."
"That's bull and you know it. You've been in love with this girl since 3rd year and when she finally offers herself to you, you refuse her! What the hell is up with that?"
"I already told you. What other reasonable explanation can I give you?"
"The truth," Sirius demanded. "Is it Cherie, or there's something else going on here that you're not telling us." Vicky was not going to say anything in this exchange, unless she had to. At the moment, Sirius was handling it fine on his own.
"Alright, it's not Cherie," Remus admitted. "There's another girl, besides Vicky, that I have feelings for."
"Who?"
"It's-," Susie came bursting in to Remus' room, a sleepy look on her face, but a stern one also.
"Sirius, what are you doing up?? You're still injured!" She pulled him out of Remus' room.
"Susie, what the hell, I was about to find out who else Remus likes!" Sirius complained as Susie dragged him back to their room. Vicky stayed in Remus' room, leaning up against the wall near the door.
"So who is it Remus? Really, tell me." Remus sighed. He had lost his nerve to finally admit it when Susie had burst in, dragging Sirius away.
"Vicky, I love you, I've loved you since 3rd year."
"I know," she said sadly. "But you have feelings for another girl, I can't deal with that." She walked out of the room before turning around one last time.
"I love you too Remus," she said, tears in her eyes. Then she walked away, for the last time, from Remus' room.
I know, sad huh? I was ready to cry myself :'( Anyways, next chapter will be up soon. Till then, see you later readers!
