The Bee (A Pretty In Pink Fanfic)

Double A

I went to Andie's house. I knocked.

"Beatrice?"

"Hi Mr. Walsh. Is Andie here?"

"Yes she is. Andie sweetie, one of your friends are here to see you."

Andie walked to us.

"Bee, what are you doing here?"

"Can I stay here with you for a few days?"

"What's wrong?"

"I just need a place to cool off, my dad is at home drunk and we had a fight."

"Sure, come in."

She let me in.

"Beatrice, is there something going on?"

"No, other than the fact he chooses to be a pitiful drunk than to seek help for the depression he had since my mom died in a freak accident!"

I started to cry. Andie gave me a big hug.

"You can cool off here ok," Mr. Walsh said.

"Thanks."

"Stay as long as you want to, but he needs to get help."

"I'll go call AA, can I borrow your phone book?"

"Sure."

I went to call AA. My dad, Buddy Livingston had a drinking problem

I followed Andie to her room.

"There's no spare room so we can share my bed ok?"

"Sure. Thank you for letting me stay."

"You're welcome, that's what friends are for."

"We could call Duckie and have a sleepover tonight!"

"No, Bee, it's a school night."

"I'm sorry Andie, I'm trying to be positive after what happened. I'm trying to get myself together here."

"I understand, I understand."

Andie hugged me.

"We'll try to help him out ok."

The next morning, we got ready for school. As soon as I got ready to go out the door, Mr. Walsh stopped me.

"Beatrice, it's your dad on the phone."

I walked to the phone that was face down on hold and picked up.

"Hello."

"Honey where are you?"

"I'm not coming home."

"I'm sorry baby, I did wrong last night. I was told you called AA on me."

"What, you got a problem with trying to help you out as your loving daughter?"

"I don't, AA can help the drinking but not my depression. I'll do it, I'll get some help. I'll do what you want me to do."

"Start by trashing your six pack."

"Fine, anything else?"

"Let me stay with my friend Andie for a few days, I need to cool off."

"Ok baby. Let me know when you're ready to come home."

"Ok, I love you."

"Love you too baby."

I hung up, Andie smiled at me as we left.
