Chapter 4- Falling Through
(An: THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL REVIEWS!! (My math provincial was a disaster :( boohoo) I was in summer school for the month, so I was busy with that every day. :( Another reason for why I didn't update was because I had birthday parties to attend and host. (My birthday was on July 30th) I was also away for a week at a friend's house. I'm sorry! I'll try to update faster.)
Claimer: I own all poems used in this chapter

From Chapter 3
About a minute later, when I had calmed down, I asked James, "How did you know I have and anxiety disorder?"
"Madam Pomfrey told me, since I came to visit you a lot," He replied.
"Lily? Where are you?" I heard Brittany's voice being carried down the hallway. She was close.
Before I could let go of Potter, Brittany, Ashley and Sirius came around the corner.
Sirius had a sly look on his face.
Brittany and Ashley had both of their faces contorted with horror and betrayal.
(Still Flashback)
Oh no, I've done it again,
I hurt the people I loved,
I hurt my best friends.
Oh what punishment will I get?
Surely I deserved it,
Even though I'm filled with regret.
I'm sorry, don't go away,
Promise to you'll forgive me,
Promise me you'll stay.
I know I deserve it, but I can't handle it,
Being so lonely,
Lost in all of this.
I'm falling through the void
To land in a fortress of flames
Is this hell?
Will somebody save me?
Or will I continue to burn with regret
Until I am nothing but ashes?
"W-what are you doing?" Brittany questioned, heartbroken. "You bloody cow!" Ashley screamed, "How could you do this to us?"
I freed myself from James' grasp and started walking over to them, "I didn't mean to hurt yo-"
But they were already walking away. And then they were gone.
"What were you doing?" asked Sirius in a curious voice. "What was that all about?" He continued as he gestured towards the hall where Brittany and Ashley walked down.
"Oh no," I whispered out, "I'm so horrible…my best friends."
I didn't even know if they were my friends anymore.
I walked up to my dorm after explaining everything to James and Sirius. It was bedtime now.
I was scared to go to my dorm room, but I knew I had to face the music. I hoped that they wouldn't yell too loud.
When I opened the door there was only silence. Yes, they were there, but they completely ignored me, "I'm sorry…so sorry, you guys?"
At that point, silence was worse than screaming…
I woke up to find their beds empty and went to go have a shower. After I was done, I quickly got dressed, and went down to the great hall for breakfast.
I spot Brittany and Ashley and went to sit beside them. I still needed to apologize and explain.
"Look you guys, it wasn't what you think. It's just a misunderstanding, I was crying and James was comforting me. Will you forgive me? Because I am so very sorry."
I got no response; they didn't even look at me. "Ashley? Brittany? Did you hear me?"
They still continued to ignore me.
I tried as best as I could to get them to talk to me, to forgive me for what I had done, but still I received no response.
It had been 2 weeks since the incident and I needed some friends. So I decided to become better friends with some girls that I usually talk to in between classes. I couldn't stand to be alone anymore.
(AN: DESCRIPTIONS AND NAMES OF THE GIRLS, ALL REAL PEOPLE AND HOW THEY LOOKIN REAL LIFE

ALL GIRLS- In Gryffindor, silly, but very loyal and loving in their own way. I always know that they're there for me. (End of descriptions)
"Hey, can I eat breakfast with you guys?" I asked shyly, while looking down.
"Yeah sure Lily! Bwah ha ha! Come to the dark side!" That was Shelly of course.
I giggled, "Thanks."
And so the routine continued, I would hang out with them in all of my spare time and it really helped me, while I waited for Brittany and Ashley to forgive me.
One morning, when I was awakened by my alarm clock which signaled for me to get ready for breakfast. I got out of bed and to my surprise Ashley and Brittany were still there and they were both looking at me. I just started to get changed into my robes.
"Why don't you talk to us anymore?" Ashley asked me.
"You've been avoiding us Lily, what did we ever do to you?" Brittany asked.
"You guys wouldn't talk to me for 2 weeks, so I didn't think you wanted to be friends anymore," I replied quietly.
"We waited for you to come back!" Brittany shouted defensively.
"How was I supposed to know?" I replied, a bit louder this time.
"If you were trying hard enough to be our friend, you would have noticed!" Ashley exclaimed.
"I did try, I tried so hard! But you couldn't bother to turn and look at me whenever I was talking to you guys!" I yelled back.
"I don't want to have to turn back and forth between you and Brittany, it's too troublesome," Ashley replied loudly.
"You didn't have trouble doing that before," I replied to her. My voice was on the edge f hysterical.
"You've changed Lily, I don't even know who you are anymore," Brittany said to me.
"Of course I changed, you guys completely ignored me! How can you expect me to stay the same?!" Now I was hysterical. I was so confused, so I left the dorm room.
I ran outside and felt moisture on my face dripping down and landing on my shirt, so I "accioed" and umbrella and walked briskly away.
I saw people staring at me weirdly and I wondered why, maybe it's because I looked like I felt (completely alone and full of despair) but I had just had my heart broken, so I had more important things to think about.
I didn't realize that they were staring at me because I was holding an umbrella…
Even though it wasn't raining.
An: I'm sorry that took, so long guys, I know that this story is based on something true, but I couldn't decide how to transfer this chapter into the different characters, so I had major writers block.
Please Review. It'll make me really happy. : )
