Whispers in the confessional ~ Wolfstar

Chapter 1- Once

Sirius Blacks point of view:

"Get off me Sirius!" She slapped me round the face and pushed me back, "Ugh, you've had too many drinks tonight, get out!" Sophie yelled... Sophie never yells? "And come back when you're sober!"

I was pushed out of the door and onto the chilly, September night, all alone. My mind was blurry of the nights events from the variety of drinks I had and I groaned. I somehow had to get out of the cold with no keys, no car, no money and no coat.

Shivering, with just a cheap band shirt on me, I pushed my way through the cold wind and forced the cogs in my brain to turn. Think... where could I go? Sophie's house was a ten minute walk from the pub I could go there? I cant sleep there though.

My mind set on the thought of my brothers house, only a mere fifteen minutes from here. Reg was probably already sick of the one monthly get together we had with our family but he would have to deal with me.

Attempting to get there as fast as possible, I stumbled slightly passed the shops and other houses until I reached the moderately large house of my brothers. Wasn't a mansion but it was just enough to impress.

My heavy hand knocked on the door and the entrance light lit up. Regulus' face came to the cloudy glass and he opened the door with a confused expression, "Sirius?" He grimaced at me.

"Hey!" I pushed the words out of my mouth and opened my arms pulling him into a very (under the influence) tight bear hug. "Reggie! How ya been?" My accent started to slip.

He pulled me off him with force and then spoke, "Are you drunk? Again?" His tone was condescending.

"When am I not?" I took the conversation as a joke.

"Why are you here?" He asked, looking me up and down, examining me to make sure I wasn't injured.

"Sophie pushed me out the house and said to come back when I was sober." I lolloped through the threshold and threw myself onto his sofa with no manners.

Reggie sighed, his eyes practically twitching at my rudeness, but he locked the door behind me and said, "Justified."

"Hey!" I sat up abruptly, blood rushing to my head, "You're supposed to be on my side!" I exclaimed, offended and a little hurt.

"Not when your behaving like this. Sophie had all right to kick you out the house when you're acting like this, slobbish and honestly just shitty!" His tone changed and he was letting out emotion that had been building up.

"Whatever." I groaned, laying back down.

"Just go to bed, I'll flak to you in the morning. When you're sober." He basically threatened me.

I rolled my eyes and pulled his strange expensive 'all natural' fibre blankets over my body. It was itchy and uncomfortable but I was cold and drunk so I didn't care.

Time skip brought to you by rude and annoying people. This is directed.

When I woke up my eyes were still glued shut, I hearer whispers of voices around me.

"So he just showed up last night?" The soft speaker confirmed.

"Yeah, totally pissed. Sophie kicked him out." Regulus' voice explained.

"To right she should of. I've been waiting for that girl to do that for months. Don't get me wrong Sirius is great, but he's a real shitty boyfriend." The voice criticised.

I frowned and opened my eyes to see Regulus and Lily staring back at me. I groaned and covered my eyes from the light, "Thanks Lils." I responded sarcastically.

She shrugged, "I'm just speaking the truth."

"Sit up please." Regulus interrupted in his usual 'prim and proper' manner. "We need to speak to you." He attempted to have a blank face but it was filled with a frown.

I pulled myself up as they sat on the sofa in front of me, "Alright Dad." The remark was cold and bitter but he didn't react. "What's this about then?"

Lily looked between me and Regulus tensely. Regulus spoke quickly, "We want you to get help."

My eyes narrowed, "What?" I was confused.

"We want you to get help." Lily clarified, "For your alcohol problem."

"Alcohol- I don't have an alcohol problem!" I leaped to my own defense.

"Is there a day this month where you haven't had a drink?" Regulus asked.

"I hardly think thats rele-" I started.

"Is there a day this month where you haven't had a drink?" He reiterated sternly.

I shook my head, "No." I spoke shortly. He leaned back with an 'I rest my case' look in his eyes.

Lily's usually sweet smile faltered, "Me and Reggie know a guy, we think he'd really help you."

"So you're sending me to therapy?" I asked disgusted.

She shook her head quickly, "Its just a group, at the local church. He could really do you some good, I mean we know him and-"

"So now I'm gonna get judged by a priest?" I didn't let them finish their sentences.

Regulus sighed, "He wouldn't do that, he's so lovely."

I shook my head, "Im not going to alcohol anonymous with some priest who you are best mates with!" I pleaded. "You cant make me do shit."

"Please Sirius." Lily begged, "This could really so you some good. You need a better relationship with alcohol. Or just no relationship st all."

Absolutely ridiculous.

"Sophie's kicked you out." Regulus spike bluntly and straight to the point, "If you don't attended at least once then you aren't staying in my house." He threatened.

I sighed in defeat, "Fine. One session. When is it?"

Regulus smiled knowing he had won, "Every Wednesday, at the church, five pm."

I crossed my arms, "One session, Im doing one session." I glared.

Lily smiled, "Great! So its settled."

One session. Only one session and then I never have to go again, I wont have to deal with a guy just telling me off for half an hour, only once. Only once.
