"Am I supposed to be happy?
With all I ever wanted, it comes with a price."
-The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus "Cat and Mouse"
Picking up the
s/h/a/t/t/e/r/e/d pieces of your heart
is a lot harder than you
imagined.
So many pieces
So many slivers
all stained with the reminder of
him.

Taking risks is something for which
you're programmed
it's in your blood
it's in your name
(James Sirius Potter)
but that name of yours
it's also the definition of
l o y a l i t y
and that's why
that's the reason
you couldn't close the
s-p-a-c-e
between his lips and yours.
'Cause that boy
with the turquoise hair
&the heart-stopping smile
he's your sister's
boyfriend.

It wasn't his reputation
It wasn't a hesitation of whether it was wrong or right
because none of those things
mean shit to you.
It was purely the fact that
you couldn't hurt Lily if
your own life depended on it.
No matter how long you've been
wanting to taste his lips
No matter how deeply you've longed
to feel his heart beat against yours
it wouldn't be worth it
'cause she's your sister
and your family comes before
your desires.

You *might* forget how to smile
You *might* lose your laugh
Your heart *might* never be quite the same
but you have to be brave
you have to m-o-v-e on
before
it becomes too late
before
you can't recall where that line between
right/wrong is
before
you end up losing what your name is all about.
No, no, you could never
betray
your family, right?
You have heard that love can make you
do unusual thingsā¦
but this, this isn't
l o v e
right?
(wrong)
The lyrics at the beginning belong to the band "The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus" and are from their amazing song "Cat and Mouse." I really love that song!
:D
Oh Merlin, how I've missed writing boys' love! This is my first James/Teddy, but mew has a few fics for them that are really worth reading!
:D
