Homecoming | Evie & Andie

@andiebaker

Evie wasn’t having the best day. Then again, when was her last good day? She had no idea really. She felt trapped here, in this town, all thanks to this bizarre -A person. Someone had seen her (both times she’d done something out of anger here) and she wanted to know who it was... but she also just wanted to run back to Wales and hide out, but she couldn’t risk it. She could get in serious trouble for what she did to Ruby on the road that day. She was lucky the other girl hadn’t died or something. It’s not that Evie hated her but Ruby could also be very difficult and argumentative, or at least Evie had found her to be that way. She was trying to look out for people and help them and it kept getting thrown back in her face!

She’d just got home from Wales, visiting with their parents and new baby brother, and the first familiar face she’d spotted was Andie. She thought about hiding and just catching up with her another time because she really didn’t need another argument but Evie was also pretty worried still, about her last text from -A. Something bad was going on and she wanted to know what it was, she wanted to help her sister. -A was right about what Evie did, surely they were right about Andie and Charlie. It always felt like there was something her father was holding back about Charlie (though Evie wouldn’t have guessed it was really that Charlie was being honest) and it made sense if her father knew or suspected Charlie of being... well. Something that all signs seemed to point to. Who’s to say being family stopped him from hurting someone? So she made her way over and tapped her sister on the shoulder. “Miss me?”

Bar Buddies | Riley & Andie

@andiebaker

The day felt long and Riley was ready for closing time. He loved his job and he loved the Green Dove but sometimes it was just too difficult. He was sober. Sure. Every so often he felt like he could or would slip but he’d been doing very well... he didn’t want to ruin his progress and, besides, he knew how he got when he’d been drinking. Like father, like son. There was that one time when he’d been sober and he’d hurt Brooke but... Riley liked not to think about that time. He liked to blame it all on the booze, as though that was where the demons hid. As long as he didn’t touch a drop of it, he’d be fine and nobody would get hurt.

He looked up as the door opened. It was always noticeable these days because of how quiet the place could be. It was getting better but today was one of the slow days. The ones that gave Riley too much time to think. He realised it was the girl from the market and he gave her a smile as he caught her gaze. He’d managed to put together that she was Charlie Baker’s niece. Who was Brooke’s best friend. Riley had his suspicions that Brooke had told him what he’d done in the past because every so often he’d run into Charlie and the man would just stare him down or give him this look.

“Hey.” He greeted her, leaning on the bar a little. “Come to pay Teddy a visit?” He did have the little toy he’d bought sitting at the end of the bar so he hadn’t just been making jokes about that. “What can I get you?”

Sitting in the Study Hall, Austin was trying to focus on the work before him. Essays were hard enough, and with all the reading he had to do...---he was trying his best not to panic. So instead, he plugged in his headphones, listening to Great Disaster as he tried to do his reading. But instead, the Hufflepuff got swept away by the beats, soon trying to recreate his own version of the song.

Stuck on repeat || Charlie & Andie

[ @andie-baker ] Charlie could practically feel his blood pressure rising. It wasn’t that everything was even irritating him or making him angry, he was just feeling stressed out and overwhelmed. Sometimes that came across as anger where he was concerned and he was trying to reign it in but sometimes it was difficult. He wanted to just stop thinking so much and then maybe he wouldn’t feel so crappy. He missed Sophie... too much. It was crippling sometimes and he didn’t know if it would ever get better. People said it would with time but he didn’t believe them - how could it? How could he feel better when his beautiful baby girl was in the ground? When the person responsible would probably be getting out eighteen years from now to go back to a normal life he felt she didn’t deserve? When nothing felt right and he wanted to just crawl out of his skin? Sophie was beautiful and she could have done anything. He was going to get her to see a therapist and she’d get better and everything would be fine... and then it had been ripped from him and some days he was okay, he could cope with it, but others... when certain holidays came around, or her birthday, it was all he could do not to just give up. When the call from Michael came, he knew it was going to end in a fight. He was on edge, he was upset, he felt stuck. Things were said (none of which Charlie didn’t mean, thank you very much) and he hung up on the other man with a sour feeling knotting away in his stomach. “Twat.” He muttered, grabbing his keys from their new hook by the door and heading out. He made his way to Andie’s apartment, not sure if she’d even be in, knocked twice and waited.
