That Person Would Be You

Chapter 7 - Lily

A/N: Hey! This is my first authors note and it's gonna be really short anyway, so please just bare with me for a second! I just want to say thank you to all the people that read and even voted for this story! And I am super sorry it took me this long to update it, the truth is I got a bit demotivated at first because I felt like no one was neither reading it or enjoying it, so it was a fantastic surprise to come to a while after to wattpad and see that it even had votes! So here goes chapter number 7, I'll try to post more regularly now!! And I think this chapter is specially fluffy as a reward! 

It was time for a 15-minute break. I looked at my computer and saw that green dot signalling that my brother was online. I smiled and, grabbing my computer, laid back in bed before calling him. It didn't take long for him to accept the call. Or actually...

"Hey, James!" I said excitedly. "How are you? How's the leg?!"

"Hey!" He said happily back. "It's fine, it was nothing really, just a scratch that got a bit infected." He said.

"Did it scar already?"

"Not really, but almost." He said looking down at his leg. "It doesn't have pus anymore."

"I think that maybe it was not nothing like you claim." I chuckle, still a bit worried.

"It was! Wanna see?" He asked and stoop up putting his knee in front of the camera. His whole knee was a wound and definitely not a scratch!

"You and I have very different definitions of nothing!" I chuckle.

"Really, it's nothing. It doesn't even hurt anymore!" He smiles.

"You and I are very different, clearly. I did a paper cut the other day and spent the whole month complaining... I think my brother has pictures on his phone I sent to the family's Whatsapp group so everyone could see."

"I'm sure it was a nasty cut." He laughs.

"Yes, much worse than just than a gash from top to bottom of your knee..." I joke with him.

"Yeah, absolutely! I mean the only reason it took so long to heal was that no one kissed it better..." He said and I laughed so loud I think the entire dorm heard it.

"Is that not what they do in the infirmary? Did Drew not kiss it better? How dare he?"

"I know right? And they call themselves doctors!"

"What a sham! We'll have to take care of that when you're back!" I said and only after the words have last my mouth do I process it. James smiles brightly at the camera but, possibly because I was looking embarrassed as fuck, didn't say anything about it.

"So, I realised the other day that I don't actually know what you're studying..." The other day? He was thinking about me and what I studied the other day?

"International Relations," I say happily, it was something I wanted to study, I wanted to try and make a difference, do some good and, hopefully, this degree would help.

"Oh! You're going to be a fancy politician, are you?" I chuckle and try not to sound too awkward.

"I don't know..." I would say no, but I kind of want to be a politician, I wanted to work for the UN or something like that.

"You'll be the one sending us to wars?" He joked and my heart tightened for a minute. What a horrible thing that would be.

"God no! I hope to be the one taking you out of them. I'm just... I don't know. My brother says I'm too idealistic, that I want to change the world." I explain to him and, to be fair, he was probably right. I wanted to make a difference in the world, wanted to end wars, and, at the very least, that is incredibly optimistic.
