A/N: Hey, everyone! I hate songfics as much as the next person, but this idea would not leave my head! So, instead I'm bestowing it into yours, kind readers.
Anyone who is reading my other story: I WILL BE UPDATING AS SOON AS I CAN! I'm sorry for the long wait, but I was on a trip all summer and now I'm getting into the swing of things with school and real life is just butting in at every turn! I will update when I can and I apologize for the wait.
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING YOU SEE! THE SONG, SHUT UP BY SIMPLE PLAN, IS OWNED BY THEM (I'm just borrowing it for the time being) AND ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO THE AMAZING LADY BY THE NAME OF J.K. ROWLING! I OWN NOTHING EXCEPT MY OWN FEET...
Enjoy!
James was fed up.
Lily was always criticizing him for things he couldn't change about himself. He really liked her, but this one was the last straw... especially because he had a Quidditch game in an hour and the pressure was on.
Lily was following him out of the Great Hall. "I don't understand why you always have to ruffle your hair like it's the cool thing to do-"
James broke. He spun around and yelled,
"There you go
You're always so right
It's all a big show
It's all about you"
The look on Lily's face was pure shock. James had never yelled at her before. He was always too busy mooning over her. This was a big change...
You think you know
What everyone needs
You always take time
To criticize me
She never realized how much her comments angered him. She only started criticizing him because he wouldn't leave her alone! He always walked away after she yelled at him or insulted him. She didn't think he cared that much.
It seems like everyday
I make mistakes
I just can't get it right
It's like I'm the one
You love to hate
But not today
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down"
Okay, so maybe she was a little bossy and critical, but he doesn't have to yell at her like that!
Lily fought back, yelling:
"There you go
You never ask why
It's all a big lie
Whatever you do
You think you're special
But I know, and I know
And I know, and we know
That you're not"
James had enough. She was always interrupting him when he's trying to talk to her, thinking she's more important. Its time she understood his side.
James cut her off,
"You're always there to point
Out my mistakes
And shove them in my face
It's like I'm the one
You love to hate
But not today
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
Is gonna bring me down
Will never bring me down
Don't tell me who I should be
And don't try to tell me what's right for me
Don't tell me what I should do
I don't wanna waste my time
Accept me or walk away
After that line, Lily took a good look at him and realized if he walked out of her life, she might actually... miss him?
Her feelings were confusing her.
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
Bring me down
{shut up, shut up, shut up}
Won't bring me down
{shut up, shut up, shut up}
Bring me down
{shut up, shut up, shut up}
Won't bring me down
Shut up, shut up, shut up
After James finished, he stood there, panting and looking at her. A moment later he turned around and walked out of the Entrance Hall and outside.
Lily watched him go.
He's right. I treat him like crap and boss him around and criticize him at every turn. I never even gave him a chance...
"JAMES!" she called, and ran after him.
