jily: more than friends

Lily

It's a week later and I am still broken. My best friend... my EX best friend I should say... called me the worst name you could call the Muggle Born. I haven't slept since the day. I only started going to classes 2 days ago. I cry all the time, but deep down there is a part of me that has a burning hatred towards him. I haven't played any games with my friends, and yes, now I am also friends with the Marauders, only because it angers Snape. I mean I guess they are cool too. We play games every night. I haven't been able to work up the motivation to play any, let alone talk to anyone. Anyways, other than my sadness, it is August 31st, the last day in August, that means we are going into spooky season. On October 30 it is the Halloween dance, I have no one to go with, seeing as Mar is going with Sirius and Alice is going with Frank. Maybe I won't go.

JAMES'S POV

Today is the last day of detention, finally. I head to the Great Hall for supper and find my friends. I sit down. Lily isn't here, she skipped every meal today. I wonder if I should go check on her, it would be worth missing detention and getting more honestly. I hope she is okay, I can't bare to see her sad anymore. The best part of my day is seeing Snivellus with his black eye and broken nose, maybe that'll teach him a lesson.

After supper I skip detention to go see Lily. I knock on her door and a tear-stained Lily answers the door. "Can I come in?" I ask. She nods and moves out of the way. I do have a swollen cheek from Snivellus, he got a punch in too. She eys it and quietly says "what happend there?" "Well, Snivellus happend." She gives out a small chuckle. She goes to sit on her bed and pats on it, motioning me to sit down. We sit in silence for a minute or two and then she says "I've been in a mess ever since he called me a Mudblood, I mean... what did I do to him?" I get ready for the pep talk of my life.

"Lily-flower, It's his loss that he would dare to call you something so horrific. You don't deserve him, never have and never will. I knew from the first day I saw you two hanging out that he would hurt you and thats why I always made fun of him and bullied him, hoping he would go to a new school and lose contact with you and I know that sounds terrible but I couldn't bare it if he hurt you. Seeing you cry and being upset makes me feel like I didnt do enough to help you, I know you probably know this Evans but I am crazy about yo-" I get interrupted by Lily giving me a peck on the cheek, then she walks out of the room. I am a little shocked but I feel like my heart will fall out of my nose, I feel like the happiest man ever. I check the clock, if I run I can make it to detention. So I run.
