Disclaimer: I read. I wrote. I disclaimed.
A/N: Is this early enough? I felt bad about the length of last time, but most of you were really nice about it! Thanks! I hope this makes up for it.
The title is taken from one of my all-time favorite poems, The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost. " . . . and that has made all the difference." I do not even pretend to own this poem.
P.S. VISIT MY HOMEPAGE!That said, I shall move onto:
"Lily-"
"Goodbye."
"Wait, Lily! Stop!"
"Let me go!"
"I just wanted to talk to you."
"Give me back my wand!"
"I just want to talk."
"Well I don't."
"We have to, Lily! If we don't, our friendship will be blown to smithereens, everything will be awkward, and we'll never talk. I don't want that to happen, Lily, and I know you don't either."
" . . . Fine."
"If I let you go, do you promise not to run away?"
" . . . I promise."
"Okay."
" . . . Er, that was quite the hold you had on me."
"Well, you have been avoiding me for weeks, I didn't want to lose you again."
"Yeah, about that-"
"No, this is my turn to talk. Then you can."
"Fine."
"I don't want this to break up our friendship, Lily. I really like you; you're a great friend. But that's all we'll ever be. There's too many problems with us being more than platonic."
"No there's not!"
"Yes, Lily, yes there is."
"Oh really? Name three."
"Okay. 1. We're too alike. We'd get bored of each other after awhile. It'd be just the same old thing. Like that saying 'opposites attract'."
"Bu- . . . Fine. Two to go."
"2. James. . . . I think that's all I need to say."
"No, it's not! Why do you care so much about what he thinks! He's not in charge of me! It's my life! I can fancy who I want!"
"He's so much more than what you think of him, Lily, If you just gave him a chance-"
"He doesn't deserve a chance! What has he ever done to deserve one?"
"You have no idea, Li-"
"So tell me!"
" . . . I can't."
"Why not?"
"It's not really my secret to tell. You'd have to ask him."
"All these secrets, Remus! Are they really necessary?"
"Yes! You have no idea, Lily, no idea."
"Don't you trust me? I figured out your erm . . . first secret, and I haven't told a soul! Doesn't that make me trustworthy?"
"And that's number three! My 'Furry Little Problem!' I could never endanger someone like that."
"You wouldn't endanger me! I-"
"It's a risk I'm unwilling to take, Lily, and that's final."
" . . . Remus . . ."
"I can't keep thinking about you in this way, Lily. It's driving me crazy! Can't we just be friends?"
" . . . . . . I don't know."
"I'm sorry."
" . . . I think I have some homework to finish."
"Wait, Lil-"
"We'll talk later, okay?"
"Okay. . . .Bye Lily."
A/N:
What:1 (one) BETA.
Why:
1. I'm an American, my British is definitely not up to par.
2. to read my writing to make sure it makes sense or if there's any totally confusing/stupid/corny parts that should be removed A.S.A.P.
How: by E-mail (or AIM, if that works better. Send me an E-mail!)
When: As soon as possible! Time is of no matter, and there will definitely be times when I'm not writing.
Where: Here, on and maybe a little post-age.
Extra: a good sense of BritSpeak is mandatory. I need a BETA that is willing to speak their mind freely, and isn't afraid to say that something sucks, and sticks to their opinion. Credit will be given.
All reviews will be replied to:)
