Good-bye James

Author's Notes:

This is a story of unrequited love. There were two hearts, not one, that broke the day Lily Potter and James Potter were married. The pairings are mixed:

LilySev – unrequited love

JamesOC – unrequited love

LilyJames – true love

What happens

Is it alright to want something - someone - that you can't have? Is it alright to feel this way – disappointed, bitter, sad, even angry?

We were only 6, so I doubt that he even remembers, but I do. Our parents had taken us out to this pond. I can't remember exactly where. I can just remember that when it was time to go, we hid in this really leafy tree. At the base there were a few lilies. Once we'd reached a good height, he handed me one and gave me a small peck on the lips. If my complexion had been any lighter I would have turned bright red. "We gonna be best friend's forever!" he told me with a cheerful grin.

I nodded shyly. "And when we grow up we can get married just like my mummy and daddy and your mummy and daddy!"

I nodded again smiling. Suddenly we heard from below, "Ha! We found you James! We found you Kerry!"

"Awww!" exclaimed James.

I almost fell, but James caught my hand. I was such a girlie girl back then. I wondered if they'd heard us. What if they'd actually seen us? I didn't care because as long as I had James, what would it matter?
