Title: The Pains of Unrequited Love
Category: Romance
Rated: T
She says we are not meant to be together. She says we are very different and she doesn't want to get hurt. She says she was never one to take chances, to take risks. I told her she could be. I told her I would be there for her. I told her I loved her.
She just smiled and shook her head and said I was sweet. She said I was too young to truly understand the true meaning of love. I told her I understood what I was feeling and that if only she would give me a chance…
Her green eyes smiled, but in all reality rejected me. Her smile said that she was sorry, but her mind had already been made up. She gently placed her hand on my shoulder and kissed my cheek real soft. As she turned to walk away I grabbed her hand. She spun around to face me in agitation.
My free hand ran through my hair quickly. Her eyes flashed annoyance. I took her other hand in mine and realized that this was my last chance to get her. It was my last chance to be that guy.
I took in our surroundings. We were in the head's dorm room. My bedroom door was slightly open and our transfiguration books were lying open on the coffee table. My shoes had been kicked in the corner and hers were placed neatly by her bedroom door. I let go of one of her hands and put mine in her hair. Her face was filled with fear as I closed the distance between us.
My lips touched hers and hooked. My hand dug fiercely through her auburn hair. She didn't kiss me back at first and I began to pull away as her arm went around my back. She was getting into it as I pushed my tongue through the space in her lips. She returned my passion even heavier and I knew that I was in love with Lily Evans.
I began walking quickly her mouth still on mine. My hands were searching frantically; in her hair, her back, her cheek. I backed her into my door and kicked it open. She shivered in delight. I tossed her lightly on the bed and positioned myself on top of her unlocking our lips for a second. Was this really happening?
She pulled me head down to hers and kissed me until it hurt. Her scent was flaming a smell of lime and ginger. My hands gripped her pants zipper, but I stopped. I sat up and she did as well. I breathed in heavily reliving what had just happened. She was the first to speak.
"I should go… somewhere else." She began getting off the bed.
"Don't" I stopped her holding loosely to her wrist.
" I can't…"
"Can't do what?"
"Stay here" and with that she pulled her arm away and walked out of my room.
I thought about running after her. I thought about telling her she was wrong. I thought about telling her I would be good for her and that I would be good to her, but I didn't. I just couldn't bring myself to it. I was just James Potter and she was amazing Lily Evans.
She was the Lily Evans I was never going to get. She was unattainable. She was a pigment of imagination. I realized everything everyone had told me was true. Perfect Lily Evans would never fall for a guy like myself. I was forgetful. I was disloyal. I was rude and obnoxious. I was too much of a jokester. And I felt things too passionately.
I must say however when she was walking out that door I had never felt more proud. I was proud I let her go. I was proud I didn't make her stay. If I am to be with Lily Evans then she will come back to me. If we are supposed to be then she'll put a little of her heart in the mix. I just never thought losing something you never had would hurt this much. Oh how much pain can unrequited love cause?
