Too Similar
James' POV
Jily
I was sitting in my favourite spot in all of Hogwarts. Surprisingly, not the Quidditch Pitch. I was on the roof of the Astronomy Tower. The Astronomy Tower. I was enjoying the peace and quiet until I heard screaming. I could tell who that was any day, besides that screaming was normally at me so I listened in.
"YOU CHEATING, LIEING, LITTLE RAT!"
"WHAT DID I DO? LILY STOP YELLING AT ME AND TALK TO ME!"
"NO I WON'T STOP YELLING! YOU CHEATED ON ME YOU LITTLE RAT. I'M UPSET AND MAD AND TIRED. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CHEATED ON ME!"
"I CHEATED ON YOU! SO WHAT? IN FACT I'M GLAD YOU CAUGHT ME! I HATE YOU!"
"THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD ENOUGH! WE! ARE! OVER!"
"I HAVE NO OBJECTIONS!"
and with that, What's-his-face walked off leaving Lily alone and crying on the ground looking like a ball of flubber. I wanted to break that guy's back. And neck. And legs, and arms and anything else that would hurt. He just cheated on LILY EVANS! What is that man on? What an idiot.
"Hey Lily, are you ok?" I asked jumping down and landing on my feet.
" Oh no. Not you. No I'm not ok so can you please leave me alone?"
"No. I saw the whole thing and I've been in your position and trust me, it gets easier."
"Really? You've been cheated on, lied to and told that someone hated you? I find that very hard to believe."
"Yep." I said popping the p. "it was the worst part of this year."
"It was this year?"
"Correct. I was with Poppy Jones the Ravenclaw. I thought she loved me, but hey, I'm not all that bright so I wouldn't know."
"Wow. That was kinda deep Potter I never thought any of those word would come you of your mouth."
"I can tell you have faith in me Evans."
"I sure do. How did you deal with it?"
"Oh. Umm… I sort of cried into my pillow until Sirius cracked it one day."
"Really? Whoa I never thought of you like that. You really are a surprising person James Potter."
"Yes really and thanks. I think,"
"I didn't know you were capable of feeling any human emotion."
"Gee thanks. Note the sarcasm."
"Hahaha. Wow now I feel so much better. We are too similar. I don't like it."
"Hahaha. What you don't like the fact that we have SOME things in common or you don't like me?"
"Both."
"Oh, Ok. Well I hope you feel better soon." And after that I walked away ignoring the desperate calls from Lily asking me to stay.
Lily's POV
Recount on my day:
Broke up with Jason Brooks.
Had a civil conversation with James Potter and felt better instantly.
Got upset again when the latter left and ignored me for the rest of the day for unknown reasons.
Sat in my room writing this and wallowing in self-pity.
Still wallowing in self-pity.
"Lils, whe- WHAT HAPPENED!?" Well there goes the wallowing.
"Hey Marls. Ok from the start…"
***20 minutes and lots of angry cries later***
"So in a nutshell, Jason cheated on you and you broke up with him. James comforted you and is for no reason that you know of ignoring you? Is that right?"
"Yes." I said, nodding my head for extra effect. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"What were the exact words you to James before he walked off?"
"Umm… oh that's right. I said that we were too similar and that I didn't like it. He asked if I didn't him or that fact that we had some things in common and I said both. After that he said something about hoping that I feel better soon and then he just walked off."
"Oh Lily. I know why he's avoiding you."
"You do? Are you going to tell me?"
"No. I'm going to see if you can figure it out on your own, but, I will tell Rem and Sirius and Pete."
"What?"
"Yes you heard right and no you don't need Madam Pomfrey to check your ears."
"Oh no. Marls you how much I hate it when everybody else knows stuff I haven't figured out yet."
"That's why I'm doing this Lils."
"Ugh. Whatever. Get out and let me wallow in self-pity again."
"Ok."
