Okay, hi! This is only my second fanfic, and I'm still getting the hang of it. Please review and tell me what you think! I can take critisism! But every reader I get that doesn't review is worse because it's like you're trying to spare my feelings. :( Really, I'm good with critisism or even insults a long as you comment! And sorry this chapter's so short. It's just kinda and intro. There'll be more up soon and I promise it'll be longer!

This is the last straw. I've had it. I've given up everything to be cheated on, lied to, yelled at, and basically trampled over for a year, but not anymore. And now I'm leaving him to pursue my dreams that I'd givien up for him. For James Potter.

It had all started a year and a day ago, on my sixteenth birthday. June fifteenth. He'd showed up (uninvited, may I add) at my party and asked me on a date. The first couple of dates wizzed by, and soon enough I was his girlfriend. And it had gone great until we returned to Hogwarts. Now, I wasn't planning on going back to Hogwarts. I'd got a record deal in America (yes I live in America. I only go to Hogwarts because I have British relatives) and was just going to go to a normal high school or maybe switch over to the America wizardry school. But being his girlfriend I gave it up to stay here with him like the loyal Gryffindor I am. Or was it Hufflepuffs that are loyal? Oh well, it doesn't really matter anymore.

So once we were at Hogwarts things started going downhill. It started out slow, just cheating on me with one girl every other week, just a couple of lies a month. But it got worse and worse so that by the end of the school year it was just about everyday. And when I got mad at him he would start yelling at me that it was my fault because I wouldn't do it with him. I'm a virgin. I wear a purity ring because I just never wanted to do it. And then there was the basically the everyday tricking me into staying with him. And now, to top it all off, he forgot my birthday which is also our one year anniversery. It isn't something that would have mattered to me if he'd treated me better. But now he's lost. me. For good.

I took a deep breath as I stepped out of the room I was staying in at the Potter's with my one bag and guitar. I'd shared it with his sweet little sister Lily. I would miss her along with his brother Albus and their cousins. I would even miss Mr. and Mrs. Potter. I would miss my friends I'd made at Hogwarts. But I wouldn't miss James. Never.

I tiptoed into James' room to stand beside the bed. I took one last good look at James and placed a small folded up note in his palm. I closed his hand around it and turned around,"Goodbye," I whispered.

On my way out I glanced in his mirror. I saw a pretty seventeen year old girl with blonde hair down to her waist and pretty blue eyes with flecks of green and gold. She was skinny, a bit short, and had a good figure. There was a tear rolling down her cheek, but her eyes held a look of fierce determination. She was someone who could not be stopped. And she was me.

I was going to live my dream. To catch up with my best friends. To start a new life. No one would control me.

And when James woke up he would find my goodbye note clenched in his had.

James,
I've had enough and I'm leaving you. I'm going to pursue my dream as a singer even if it takes me nowhere. Maybe you'll learn from the experience. Tell your parents I appoligize for leaving without telling them. Tell everyone I'll miss them. Goodbye James.
