Stay by my Side
A/N: My first Lily/James fic! Aren't you proud? lol. This was inspired by the song 'Stay by my side' by Mai Kuraki - one of my fave singers.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. So there :p

"James, don't say things like that," Lily Potter turned her head away.
"I'm sorry," James reached out, and took her hand softly.
"But it's going to happen, Lily."
"Peter'll never tell!" She blurted out. James shook his head sadly.
"I don't honestly know."
He stared into her deep eyes. Sighing, Lily's eyes began to mist up with tears.
"Oh, James, why?"
James Potter bit his lip, and pulled his wife into a hug. The tears began to stream down her face.
"Please, just look after Harry. If He comes, take Harry and go. You and Harry must escape." James looked over to where his son, Harry, slept peacefully, oblivious to what was happening. Lily shook with tears, and James tightened his grip around her.
"Please stay with me James," she sobbed into his chest, her words muffled.
"Lily, please. Just look after yourself and Harry - that's all that matters."
"But James; please don't leave us!"
James sighed. "I have to."
Lily's sobs became heavier. Her body shook with greif, as the realisation of what was happening his her like a bomb.
He was coming for them. To kill them. To take away from Lily all she'd ever left; her husband James and son Harry. How can I leave James? What if he gets killed? I could never survive. And Harry - how am I to care for him? A boy needs his father, and if James is killed, in cold blood, by the Dark Lord...
"James, please stay with me. Please. Stay by my side. I love you."
"Oh, Lily."
The couple sat, Lily sobbing, surrounded by James' comforting arms, knowing that soon it would come. Those moments seemed to last eternally, as they sat silently in the dark, waiting. Waiting for the inevitable. Waiting.
Stay by my side. I love you.

A/N: Sorry, it kind of edited the story so I could have Lily all upset to get that last line in, lol. Short I know, but I don't have the energy to write a long story now. *Uproar from readers* Fine! I'll post this then do a long story! Now review! Flames will be used to heat our cold house, lol. ^_^
