chapter three

Lily walked through the school shamefully, two weeks had gone by since everyone found out. Since Y/n found out. She felt so guilty for what she had done, but she didn't regret it. Not at all, which seemed so shitty of her. She actually missed it, that one summer break where she felt she had it all.

She had what Y/n had, she had managed to get the boy that she at first hated. But once Y/n started hanging out with him before they began dating, some feeling arose in Lily. She had started crushing on him, which was horrible.

But James wasn't intrested in Lily, all the comments he used to say to her just stopped. He seemed so much more focused on Y/n, everything was about her. And Lily couldn't help but feel jealous.

But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine.

She remembered how she felt in his arms, almost like they had been together for years. Like they were some amazing couple, but no, they weren't. They were just two people, doing the worst thing to the one person they both cared about.

Lily had tried to speak with Y/n, but she would always get shrugged off. Lily didn't blame her, she would've done the same.

Lily often watched James from across the room, with longing looks. James didn't even look near Lily, he only stared at Y/n. Sirius would glare at Lily, it was very obvious he was not happy with what she did. Sirius of course wasn't very happy with James, but they lived together, what else is he supposed to do?

But do you remember?
Remember when I pulled up and said, "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
"Meet me behind the mall"

Lily remembered the whole start to this very well, how she had seen him walking down the street alone. She had pulled to a stop beside him, chatted him up and invited him for a drive. And one thing led to another, and they became tangled in the sheets. And every after that, they'd meet up behind the mall.

And though James was with Lily. Sleeping next to her, he would lay there and think of Y/n. Or he'd even have a dream involving her.

Those days turned into nights
Slept next to her, but
I dreamt of you all summer long

He never stopped loving Y/n, and he knew he never would. She was his everything, and he had broken her. He broke her heart, he broke her trust. And he hated himself for it.

More weeks passed, and school came to an end and they all graduated. Y/n and James didn't speak, and the same with Lily. Throughout the year Y/n made many more friends, but never found a new lover. She was still hung over James, not to mention she was still in love with him. Even after what he did.

She would always love him.

Currently Y/n sat in her house(thanks to the help of her parents, and own job)with Alice, Dorcas Meadowes, Mary, and Marlene. Y/n and Marlene had become close over their last year of school, which lead to her meeting Marlene's girlfriend Dorcas.

"So, now that....well we've all graduated, and are adults, what now?" Marlene said, tossing her phone down on Y/n's bed.

"I could throw a party or something, Y'know for everyone whose graduated and shit?" Y/n said questioningly, "I mean like a graduation party or sumthin'."
