Lily Evans was sitting in the astronomy tower by her-self. She was covered in blood, scars and bruises. She was an outcast. Everyone ignored her for what they saw. No one asked questions or made sure she was alright. So, here we are in the astronomy tower with Lily crying her eyes out. That is until The Marauders come in. Lily always puts on a brave and strong face; she doesn't want anyone to think she is weak.
"Evans, are you crying?" James asked harshly.
"No!" she replied just as harsh. Then Remus Lupin noticed her scars and bruises.
"What happened to you?"
"Nothing"
"Lily we used to be best friends, give me some credit. I know when you're lying."
"What's your point?"
"Jees Evans he just asked you a question no need to be rude." Sirius Black smartly said.
"Ever thought it was private, Black"
"He, I mean we just want to help you"
"Fine"
Can
I ask you a question please
Promise you won't laugh at me
Honestly
I'm standing here
Afraid I'll be betrayed.
"O.K. I'll tell you but you can't laugh at me. I'm afraid of being betrayed. You see, as Remus knows, my mother died just after I was born. So my dad thought it was my fault so has never liked me. He treats me like a slave and heeee……he beats me" she responded sadly.
As
twisted as it seems, I only fear love when it's in my dreams
So
let the morning light come in and let the darkness fade away
"Is that why you act so dark and depressed all the time?" James said thoughtfully.
"Ya, I guess, well one reason. He also r r r …….raped me this summer" she stuttered through her tears "he has made me fear love, I'm afraid of being in the dark alone now."
Chorus:
Can
you turn my black roses red?
Can you turn my black roses red?
"Do you think you guys could help me, please?"
Drowning
in my loneliness
How long must I hold my breath
So much
emptiness inside I could fill the deepest sea
I reach to the sky
as the moon looks on
One last year has come and gone
It's time
to let your love rain down on me
"You guys I feel so lonely now, he has made me feel empty like I'm drowning. Sometimes I go outside put my face up to the sky and wish I could be on the moon looking at everyone else have a good life. This last year was the worst, he knows that once I turn seventeen I can get back at him so he did triple what he usually does to me, I think that's why he raped me. I have never been loved by anyone but my mother but she died ten min after I was born, my sister hates me because I'm a witch and so does the rest of my family."
"Lily I'm so sorry" Remus said "I knew it was bad but I didn't know it was this bad."
Can
you turn my black roses red? (x3) Can you turn my black roses red?
(x3)
Cuz
I'm feelin like I'll
blame it on love (x6)
Cuz I'm feelin like I'll blame in on love
I'm feeling like
I'll blame it on love (until fades)
"I think if I was loved I wouldn't feel so bad. My dad took away my most precious gift who I was saving to the man I loved. Now I'll never get to"
"Don't worry I think when you are married your husband will understand" James said,
"Ya, Lily we'll never leave you"
"Lily we will protect forever more"
" You can come live with me like Sirius does during the year and summer"
"Thanks guys"
"No problem Lily, We love you"
Lily almost fainted when she heard that no one in her life ever told her that. She would finally be loved. She was so happy.
