This is a short little cute oneshot I had in mind. Enjoy! BTW, It takes place 7th year. I know most of mine do, but I like to write them then.

Lily's POV

We lie on the couch, James asleep, me leaning on his shoulder, our feet by the fire, even though it is a warm summer's night in May. We have been dating for 6 months now. I love my time with him so much. I'm past liking him. I think I'm loving him now. I'm scared to love, ever since my parents died, like anyone I loved would be taken away from me. I know James loves me. He's been telling me so for 2 months. And every time, I just smile sadly at him, knowing by not responding, I'm hurting him so bad. I wanted so bad to tell him I loved him, but couldn't do it. I remember the first time he told me.

"Lily!" James called, running after me. "Lily!" I stop in my tracks, and look behind at him.

"Why do you care so much about me?" I asked. Even though by then, we'd been dating for 4 months, I still felt he might leave me at any second. It was March, and raining outside. I was very stressed about some practice exams, and had jut yelled at James. I felt so bad, I just wanted to be in the rain alone. Certainly, this would make him leave. But I didn't want him too. I don't think I knew it then, but I loved him.

"Because, well, Lily," James began, "I love you." His hazel eyes met mine, sure and steady. My breath hitched in my throat. I couldn't love anyone.  I didn't say anything. I think by not saying anything, I hurt him so bad. A wet splash fell down his face that I think had nothing to do with the rain. "Right then," he finished, pain in his voice. To keep from losing him, I leaned forward, and kissed him sweetly.

"James, I can't-" I began, after we broke apart.

"It's fine, Lily. You don't have to say it back, but I love you."

But I'm sure now. Sure I love him. My fingers trace something on his back, over and over again. Repeating itself. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. My eyes finally grow tired, and I curled up closer to James. Just as I fell asleep, I heard a voice tickle my ear.

"I love you too."

THE FEELS! I hope you liked my chapter! Ideas please!
