Lisa: I'm gonna talk this time dang it; um... well I have not much to say maybe toward the end when I'm in a better mood. I'm watching Anaconda (the original) and Gary, Owen Wilson's character, just died so I'm kinda bummed out.
Heather: She's on an Owen Wilson binge.
Lisa: I am and I didn't even realize it, I watched both Shanghai movies, obviously I'm watching Anaconda, I plan on watching Night at the Museum at some point and then Haunted. I didn't mean for it to happen honest. It just happen to come out that way.
Heather: Someone's fangirling.
Lisa: I am...
Shots of Whiskey
Remus left the hospital not in the slightest bit of good moods, this day had been all around crazy for him. It started out normal, pancake fight, potential sex, you know the usual but then his father had to come by and turn his whole world around. He would have been fine if his father just leaved him alone, if he never saw him again after that day he left he would have been fine. But no, he had to come back he had to destroy his life all over again. He tried to apologize, say that he meant to come back all these years but if he really wanted to come back, he would have.
He left his father in there with her, they had talked for two hours until Remus decided he had to go back home, the rest of his family had arrived anyway, he had to let them catch up with her as well. And besides he had left without telling anyone and leaving everyone to get their opinions of what was going on by Andy's reaction, and if you based your life off Andy's reactions something was not going to work out for you. He didn't mean to ridicule her but she overreacted, then again her whole family did, it was in her blood, she was bold, she was from Texas, she was an American. That says it all right there.
He also worried about Sirius, he tended to overreact to sometimes but he also knew when to be rational. Remus only hoped that Sirius could be rational for this, they all knew what his father did to him and all of them swore that if they saw him they would kill him. James probably wouldn't hold that to him, he would probably act like Andy did or perhaps maybe a little bit more under control them she had. He would fume to Lily have her calm him down then he would come back good as new. But Sirius... Remus saw what Sirius was capable of, he saw it with Snape almost every day in their first few years at school. He was horrible to him, Remus always wanted to say something to him, that maybe he went to far one or two times but he was always so scared to do so. Now, Remus knew that Sirius wouldn't kill him, but he could hurt him and chances are he would, unless he got to him to stop him.
He walked along the road, too many thoughts clouding his mind, so he just stared at the ground and hopefully people would see fit to get out of his way, or else he was quite sure he would run into somebody. Luckily so far that was the case, many people ignored him, some gave him sideways glances at his appearance. He admitted he wasn't entirely neat with his looks, but then again, when was he really.
"Remus!" He heard and looked up; he saw Sirius, James and Peter jogging toward him.
"Moony, are you okay, man?" Sirius said as he reached his friend. "We heard what happened; Daina came by the apartment before she left for the hospital. She told us everything."
"Yeah... Yeah, I'm fine, guys, really I am." Remus said.
"We've heard you say that before." Peter said folding his arms.
"I really mean it, honest, guys." Remus sighed. "It's just kind of weird."
"You can say that again." James said giving off a nervous laugh. "Come, on Rem, we better get you back to your flat."
"Where do you think I was headed?" Remus muttered under his breath. "Um, Sirius, you have to promise me something." He said thinking back to his thoughts of what Sirius would do.
"What is it, Moony?" He asked.
"Don't kill him." Remus said simply.
"What? Kill who?"
"My dad, don't kill him."
"Oh come on, Remus, what makes you think I would do that?" Sirius asked sighing.
"I can see his point, Pads," James said coming up behind Sirius, making Sirius turn his head around. "You do have a track record for being a little irrational. You can have a bit of a temper."
"Irrational?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah, you tend not to think before you act." Remus said. "And alls I'm saying is, just think before you kill my father with and unforgivable."
Sirius sighed and stopped making everyone else stop along with him. "Guys, you know I wouldn't do that. I won't do anything, I swear." He began waling once again, "Besides, I'd let Andy take care of him and just let me watch, it would be a hell of a lot more amusing."
"Speaking of Andy..." Remus said. "Where is she?"
"To be honest, mate, we don't know." James said regrettably. "After she left she just... well, left. We don't know where she went. But as we speak Heather, Laura and Lily are looking for her now."
Remus sighed and rubbed his face with his hands.
"Don't worry." Peter said. "We'll find her, and she, she always comes back, right?"
"Yeah." Sirius said. "She does, like a dog, she always finds her way home."
"You're the dog." Remus mumbled as they continued to walk down the street.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"We'll never find her." Laura complained as the three girls walked along the streets of their town.
"Stop being so negative." Lily scolded. "Now come on, I have one more idea of where she might be."
"Where's that?" Heather asked.
"The restaurant I waitress at, there's a bar, not one of those bars for people just waiting for their food it's an actual bar. She picked me up from work one day and she said she loved it."
"Why didn't we go there first?" Laura asked.
"Well because I didn't think she'd go there, there are so many other places she could have gone too and it's a bit of a stretch that she'd be there anyway." Lily responded.
The bar was about a four blocks away from where they were, so it wasn't a horrifically long walk but it did take some time to get there. They were all worried that if they got their too late that she would leave, but that was a bit of a pointless fear, this was Andy, never really left to early if she was at bar.
The reached the bar in no time, looking around the parking lot they saw Sirius's motorcycle parked out front, and when they entered they were hit by music, not music they were used to. It was the stuff Andy listened too, country. The entire restaurant was Americanized; no wonder Andy liked it so much it was like she was back home. Lily led them over to the bar and right away they spotted the familiar leather jacket and her cowboy boots wrapped around the legs off the stool.
"Andy." Lily said as they walked over. "Are you okay?"
"You know, whiskey really is great." She said looking at the shot of whiskey she held in her hand before she took it.
"You know you shouldn't drink to solve everything." Laura sighed and sat down on a stool next to Andy.
"I'm not, I'm not even close to being drunk yet, and you know I have to drink a lot to get drunk." Andy said, and it was true, she could handle her liquor very well, she's only gotten really drunk a few times. It usually never came out too well, the time with her and Sirius was a wonderful example of that.
"Are you gonna come home and talk to Remus?" Lily asked.
"Nope!" Andy said cheerfully.
"Come on, Andy, you have to. You can't just sit here all night." Heather pleaded with her.
"Watch me!" She exclaimed.
"Andy, you're not that cold and heartless." Lily said.
Andy scoffed before pouring another shot. "You don't know me very well then."
"Okay then, we'll just have to sit here and drink with you then." Laura said taking her new shot of whiskey out of her hand and taking it, pulling a face afterward.
"Laura, don't drink whiskey." Andy said taking the shot back. "Yer a dang greenhorn, ya can't handle your liquor and besides, you're a God damn mean drunk."
"She's right on that, you are a mean drunk Laura, you hit and you yell and then you fall over." Heather said.
Shrugging Laura replied, "Oh well, until Andy comes back to the flat I'm going to sit here and just drink with her."
"No Laura by the time I get anywhere near drunk you'll be in the hospital with alcohol poisoning or somethin', don't." Andy said taking the entire bottle of whiskey off the table and away from her.
"Then go back to the flat with us."
"Or I could just sit on you and end it now." She said glaring.
"Andy you have to come back, Remus is worried and going though a rough time right now." Lily tried to reason.
She scoffed and took a swig right out of the bottle. "Hard time my ass, he knew that son of a bitch was comin' and he didn't tell me. He should'a known better."
"Andy, do know where he is now?" Lily asked.
"No."
"He's at the hospital, his sister was hurt, and no not Daina, it was Charlotte. You know the sister that his father took with him when he left? Well that's why his father came back, to tell him, she was working and the store she worked at was attacked by Voldemort." Lily said and Andy's face softened.
"Oh my God, you're kiddin'." She said.
"No, we're not." Laura said. "Now come back, I'm sure Remus wants to talk to you."
"He probably does, but that does not excuse him lyin' to me or his daddy just showin' up without a word, I mean he could have called first, we have a phone." Andy said.
"So, will you come back?" Heather asked.
"Hold on one minute." Andy said pouring herself another shot of whiskey and taking it real quick. "Ahhh, okay I'm good, we can go. But I'll tell ya, if that pansy ass man Rem calls dad tries to run I'm gonna clothesline him."
"Wait, wait, wait." Lily said as they stood up and Andy grabbed her wallet off the table leaving some money on the counter.
"What?" She asked taking Sirius's keys out of her pocket.
"You are not going to drive, you're drunk." Lily said.
"I'm not drunk, why is everyone convinced I'm like Laura." Andy asked.
"How many shots have you had?" Heather asked.
"I dunno, not many, but c'mon Heather, you know I don't get drunk quick. I'm fine!"
"Andy we both know that your personality can stay pretty much the same when you're wasted so how the hell do we know you're sober?" Heather asked.
"Um, I don't know, how about my word!?" She cried.
"Andy, to be frank, your word is no good." Lily said. "Now give me the keys or I will hex you."
"Dammit..." She sighed and handed over the keys.
"I'll send a message to Sirius and tell him where he can pick his bike up at." She said and they walked outside to the bike. Taking out her wand she had everyone stand around her to shield her from the passing muggles as she silently sent a message to Sirius. After a few moments she turned back around. "He got it and he'll be here at any moment, he's going to apparate."
A few seconds later they saw Sirius walked around from the back of the bar. "There's my sweet, sweet, baby." He said walking over to the motorcycle and stroking it with his hand. "What did that mean, mean lady do to you?"
"For Pete's sake it's a bike, Sirius." Andy sighed.
"Andy, you better get back, I think Remus wants to talk to you." Sirius said standing back up, becoming serious again.
"Yeah," She said looking down. "I know."
"You can apparate back there; it's the place James always uses when he comes to see Lily when she's working." Sirius said pointing to the back.
"Wait, that's where he comes from, the little git," Lily said crossing her arms.
"Thanks, Sirius." Heather said and brushed passed him, they walked around the corner and when they were out of sight Sirius began examining his bike throely again. "And Sirius, don't violate the bike while we're gone!" Heather yelled from around the corner making Sirius wince and look around at the staring people.
