Chapter 2
"I'm really happy. Today was such a great day apart from that B-O-R-I-N-G staff meeting. I just can't wait to get home and have dinner," she thought out loud. "In that case you better be heading home, honey," said a voice from behind her.
" Oh, hi Netha!" she said as the Head Nurse entered her office. " You said you wanted to go home then why don't you? Dr. Clarence has already arrived for his shift."
" Really! Great! Um, Netha can you do me a favour and lock up my office before you leave," said Lily while taking her coat and heading towards the door. " Thanks, Nets," she said before walking off without waiting for a reply. " IT'S NETHA, LI- oh why bother she probably can't even hear me," Netha said to herself. She took the patients medical records and exited the office.

Lily reached her apparition point in the hospital, disapparated and apparated to her living room.
" MOM! I'M HOME," Lily yelled as soon as she arrived. Seconds later, Mrs. Evans rushed from the kitchen looking flushed and happy with a suppressed delight. (*Wink* (guess!))
" Oh, Lily, dear. I've got fantastic news for you. It's about-," she was cut off by Lily.
" Mom, I saw a friend of yours Mrs. Potter. She asked after you and.. and I suggested to her that she could perhaps visit you," Lily said eagerly.
" Yes, Lily dear! I know. She came by this evening and." Lily again cut off Mrs Evans.
" That's great Mom, but can you tell me this later? The important thing now is that I'M STARVING," she said before bolting towards the kitchen.
But when she into the kitchen all she saw was a tuna sandwich. " Mom, is this ALL for dinner?" asked almost hysterical Lily because she was highly deprived of food and sleep. (A/N: She's a workaholic)
" Well, Lily. I was too happy about Mrs. Potter's visit that I just couldn't cook. Plus she made such a delightful suggestion that I simply could NOT turn down."
" What suggestion?" Lily asked when she calmed a little.
" She asked whether you and James would agree to be married. We both think it's perfect. I've never met James nor seen him but from the way Mrs. Potter described I concluded that he must be a charming young man. What do you think?" her mother asked cheerfully oblivious to Lily's shock.
"Mother! Are you telling me I'm engaged to JAMES POTTER? What has daddy said about this? How could you bloody agree to this?" snapped a very angry Lily to her mother.
" Don't you dare take that tone with me, young lady. And mind your word, Lily. Be a proper lady. Your father is delighted in the match. Your engagement party is scheduled for next week. Not a big party. Just a small one with the family as well as a few intimate friends," said Mrs. Evans while giving Lily "a look" that clearly told her that she has NO SAY in this matter.
" Mom, arranged marriages are so-so-so. 15the century. Mom, this is the 20th century and I don't want to marry James Potter. I don't even like him I-
" Not another word, Lily Annabelle Evans," Mrs. Evans said sternly silencing Lily. " I will not tolerate all this nonsense. You'll marry James Potter. Women must respect men!" said Mrs. Evans who had a rather VERY old fashioned opinion.
She rolled her eyes inwardly. She sighed in defeat. She did not dare oppose her mother not least her father. What they said was FINAL. No questions asked.
" Do you understand, Lily? Mrs. Evans asked breaking into Lily's thoughts.
" Yes, mother" Lily muttered in defeat. She turned to leave " Aren't you going to eat the sandwiches? I thought you said you were starving?"
" I've just lost my appetite. I have to go to my room. It's just too much," she walked past her mother out of the kitchen and ran into her room and slammed the door shut.
" One day, she'll thank me," Mrs. Evans thought to herself.

Lily's P.O.V
How could Mom do this to me? I have never liked James Potter. Its' not that I hate him but its' just that I don't like him.
What can I do? Erm.Erm.' I KNOW. I could run away. Yeah, that's it I'll run away it's as simple as-. .Wait a minute! Did -I - just consider - running - away because of JAMES PATHETIC POTTER? Besides, mom and dad will probably track me down and kill me for disobeying them. Oh! What am I going to do??? I could commit suicide, or get hit men to assassinate James, or get a pre- nuptial agreement. This is so silly and point-.. wait a second. I know what I should do!!
I'll get a pre-nuptial agreement or a marriage contract or something. It's so simple. Mother said she wanted me to get married she never said for how long or that James and I could get a divorce did she? Too bad, she didn't think of it
~*~*~*
Lily smiled cunningly as a plan began forming in her mind. And what a plan it was. How she was going to regret it one day.
END OF CHAPTER 2
A/N: I know I haven't added in a long time and I'm sorry. I truly am. I felt discouraged after a reading a certain review. I'm kind of a sensitive person and that review was kind of a turn off for me. But now I have just got back my motivation. And I'm looking for a beta- reader. Interested? Then e-mail me at .. raven_gal2002@hotmail.com Oh and you must be a person who'll annoy me if I don't add or neglect my new two-weeks a chapter resolution. Okies??? And don't forget to review!!
