(The Song is "Gold Forever" by The Wanted)

~ Rash


Say my name like it's the last time.
Live today like it's the last night.

"Come on Evans! Please!" begged James.

"No." said Lily in a cold, icy tone.

"Look, I'm sorry about- about what happened. I wasn't thinking straight. But I love you. I always have and I always will."

"Save it Potter." growled Lily.

We want to cry but we know its alright,
Cause I'm with you and you're with me,

She fled up to her room crying.

-Flashback-

Butterflies, butterflies..we were meant to fly,
You and I, you and I..colours in the sky,
We could rule the world someday, somehow
but we'll never be as bright as we are now.

Lily ran down the girls' dormitories steps, happy with a bounce in her step. Today was the day. Alice, Marlene, and Dorcas had finally managed to convince her that James Potter was perfect for her- and after six years of stubborn denial, Lily accepted it. With a spring in her step, Lily knew all her plans for the day: James would accept, and then Lily would drag him along to the tallest hill in town and she would shout for the whole world to hear: JAMES POTTER IS MY BOYFRIEND!

She dashed down to the breakfast hall, where she knew he would be. On her way, she heard noises coming from a broom cupboard nearby. She sighed. As a prefect, it was her duty to stop this nonsense. Besides, it was just a quick stop. Nothing could ruin today.

Lily Evans should have never opened the door.

We're standing in a light that won't fade,
Tomorrow's coming but this won't change,
Cause some days stay gold forever.
The memory of being here with you,
Is one im gonna take my life through,
Cause some days stay gold forever.

When Lily Evans opened that door and saw who was inside, her perfect "Golden" day was ruined. Because inside was James Potter enjoying a snogging session with a certain brunette named Kayla Abbott.

Promise me you'll stay the way you are,
Keep the fire alive and stay young at heart,
When the storm feels like it could blow you out remember,

Lily was furious, so angry that her fiery temper scared away Kayla. She knew James and herself were not "officially" girlfriend and boyfriend, and they weren't dating, so outsiders may say she had no reason to, but she knew that if James was really so-called "pining for her", and if she was "the only girl he ever loved", then he had no reason to go and snog Kayla Abbott! Especially on the day she was going to declare her love for him. There was no chance of that now.

you got me and I got you..cause we are,

"Lily, wait! It's not what it looks like! Kayla jumped me!" cried James from the closet.

"Sure she did. That's why you were enjoying it." retorted Lily.

"Well... she is a good kisser." said James, in what he thought was a reasonable argument. Then, realizing what he said, backed up with his eyes wide. "But she's not the one for me. You are."

Lily came forward, her eyes blazing, ready to kill James.

"So is this what you do to every girl who loves you? Who thinks that they have a bloody chance? Who thinks, for once, it'll be them? That they're the one?" Lily spat at him. "I'm disappointed in you Potter. I thought that you might have some compassion, that you had matured. I guess I was wrong." said Lily disgustedly and walked away.

"Lily! Wait!" James scrambled to his feet. But it was too late.

butterflies, butterflies..we were meant to fly,
You and i, you and i..colours in the sky,
When the innocence is dead and gone,
These will be the times we look back on.

-Flashback Ends-

"Lily! What happened?" asked a starled Alice at Lily's emergal from the bathroom. Her eyes were red and puffy, and it looked like she had spent half the day crying. Which she had.

"N-n-nothi-i-ing" whispered Lily

"Did he reject you?" asked Alice, in a concerned and comforting tone.

"N-no."

"Then what's the matter Lils?" she questioned.

"I-it's worse. M-m-much w-worse." came Lily's trembling voice.

We're standing in a light that won't fade,
Tomorrow's coming but this won't change,
Cause some days stay gold forever.
The memory of being here with you,
Is one I'm gonna take my life through,
Cause some days stay gold forever.

"Tell me what happened." Alice ordered.

I won't, I won't let your memory go

cause your colors they burn so bright,
Who knows, who knows what tomorrow will hold
but I know that we'll be alright

"The bloody bastard cheated on me!" cried Lily, and she relapsed back into tears.

"Wait, wait, wait, hold on a second. You guys aren't even together yet, are you?" queried Alice inquisitively.

"N-no. I-I w-w-was going t-to tell him a-at breakfast b-b-but then... I saw it."

"Saw what?"

Alice sat listening intently as Lily explained what had happened.

When it was all over, she burst out laughing. "You really can be an idiot sometimes Lily, you know that?" Before Lily could say anything else, she spoke again, trying to keep her mirth under control. "So *laugh* you saw him *laugh* kissing *laugh* Kayla Abbott *laugh* and *laugh* you were jealous? *explosion of laughter*"

Lily stood there with her mouth hanging open, neither admitting nor denying it.

Alice recovered and then stated: "You really are an idiot Lily. Don't you get it? Why so blind? He loves you, that's why he wasn't enjoying it when you found him. That's why he apologized. As for the actual snogging, Sirius probably put him up to it. Frank was just going on about how he yells at James for being so hung up on you. Why didn't you investigate? Because you blew up at him! Sirius, probably with Remus's help, somehow set up James in that situation. At least you had the sense to ask him why he enjoyed the kiss. He told you the truth for Godric's sake! Yes, he enjoyed the kiss, but he is a bloody hormonal teenage guy! What else would you expect? And then you! You love him, and you know it. There's no other reason for you to be jealous! And you just admitted it to yourself and now you're turning back on it and you're making yourself into a bloody mess and oh, everything is just messed up. For heaven's sake Lily! What I'm trying to say is..." She stopped. Over all her ranting, she hadn't noticed that Lily had swept out of the room, and left a note. Alice read

Dear Alice,

I'm getting sick of your ranting, but you are right on one thing. Actually, two. They are:

1) James Potter loves me

2) I love James Potter

And maybe one more thing:

I overreacted. So I'm going to go talk to him. Don't expect me down for dinner. Don't expect me to do your homework tonight. And don't expect me back until really really late.

xxxx

Lily

Alice smiled softly. "Go apologize Lily."

Butterflies, butterflies..we were meant to fly,
You and i, you and i..colours in the sky,
We could rule the world someday, somehow
but we'll never be as bright as we are now.

Lily walked down to outside where she knew he would be. He always was here when he was feeling down. And, she thought, with a jolt in her stomach, It's almost always because of you, Lily. She paced back and forth, three times, thinking I need to find James Potter, I need to find James Potter, I need to find James Potter. The wall swung aside, and Lily stepped into the Room of Requirement.

"James?" she asked softly, her question directed towards the boy on the bed. The room looked exactly like the boys' dorms, but there were only two beds.

James kept sitting, looking straight ahead, eyes unseeing.

"James. James." said Lily, stepping forward slowly. "James, I'm sorry." Earning no reaction from the black-haired boy across from her, she kept talking. "I really am. It's just- well, today was going to be my perfect day. From the moment I woke up, I thought it was going to be my day. You know how characters in romance novels always get happy endings? They get "Golden Days"? Well I thought today was my Golden Day. Everything was going to go well, because I'd accepted it. I accepted that I'm in love with you James." she said, tears running down her face. "I love you James Charlus Potter, and the reason I was so mad was because today was the day I was finally going to say yes."

In the next millesecond, what happened was almost Lily's dream come through. James had turned around, grabbed Lily, and kissed her. It lasted for seconds, minutes. It seemed like it lasted forever and Lily Evans did not want to let go. Now I know what it's like to be in Paradise, thought Lily dazed. Finaly, the need for air prevailed, and they broke apart- unwillingly.

"Are you serious?" asked James, in a confused tone.

"No, that's your best mate! You better be able to distinguishe between your best friend and your girlfriend in this relationship Potter!" Lily fake-yelled.

"What?" pouted James. "So now I can't cheat on you with Sirius behind your back?"

Lily looked scandalized.

"I'm just kidding Evans." he said ruffling her hair.

"Back to last names are we?" Lily challenged.

"Well, seeing as you called me Potter, I just decided to return the favor." said James, with a charming smile.

"Such a gentleman," said Lily, rolling her eyes.

"But really," said James, back to seriousness. "Did you mean it?"

"Of course I did." Lily said smiling.

"If I find out this is a prank, then... Let's just say Sirius better watch out."

"Who said it was Sirius?" taunted Lily.

"Remus?" asked James, turning pale.

"No! I was just joking James! Seriou- Really!"

And James leaned in for another kiss.

We're standing in a light that won't fade,
Tomorrow's coming but this won't change,
Cause some days stay gold forever.
The memory of being here with you,
Is one I'm gonna take my life through,
Cause some days stay gold forever.
