Chp 10- Scared and Confused

Thanks to all my reviewers:

J.E.A.R.K.Potter- here ya go! Your review was nice to get!

Allie- here's the update! Thank you very much for the review!

Last Time:

The bell rang, and Lily put her stuff away. Almost the whole class was gone when Lily left. Lily hurried along when suddenly she heard footsteps echoing loudly coming closer to her. Lily's mind raced to Malfoy, and his threat. And here she was all alone in the dungeons. That could be him coming to put his threat into action. Lily ran as fast as she could. But the footsteps got louder and louder. Lily started crying. She ran as hard as she could. Lily felt an hand on her arm.

Now on with the present:

Lily screamed at the top of her lungs. She felt a hand go over her mouth. She bite the hand. Someone whimpered. It sounded like James. She turned around and saw James Potter standing there with his other hand around his hurt hand.

"What the fuck was that for?"

"You fucking scared the hell out of me James. Running after me, and shit. What the fuck where you thinking? I thought you were someone else!"

"Who did you think I was?"

"Lucius Malfoy!"

"Why did you think I was him?"

"For reasons I don't want to tell you."

"Oh come on Lily. I promise not to tell anyone."

Lily showed James the note Lucius had sent her. James' jaw dropped and he gave her the note back.

"You should report him to Dumbledore Lily!"

"Like Dumbledore would do anything."

"Well then I guess I'll have to do something."

"Oh please James, Lucius would kill you right away. He hates you. He thinks I actually love you," Lily replied, then started laughing really hard.

"That hurts Lillian!"

"Your not much better than him James."

"Yes I am! I would never do that to a girl!"

"Whatever. So if I starting kissing you and stuff, then decided I didn't want to have sex with you, and told you, then you would stop too?"

"No, cause I can't resist your charm Lily Baby."

"So that would make that rape! So you would do that to a girl! See your as bad as he is, even though he scares me, and you don't. I could kick your ass any day. But he is too powerful, and he is sooooooooooooooo creepy."

"That hurts me Lily!"

"Get over it James," Lily replied and started walking away. James hurried to her side. She didn't want to admit it, even to herself, that around James she felt safe. He had some kind of bodyguard vibe around him that made her feel safe and secure in his presence.

Lily shook that thought out of her mind. She didn't want to feel like that around him. She hated him! He could jump off a bridge and die and she wouldn't care. But wait, she would care. They had gotten pretty close, and Lily wished he was like he was in first year. He was so sweet when they were on the train, and before the train.

If he was like that all the time, then she would have no problem loving him, and being together with him. It seemed as if he had never really gotten over her. She had gotten over him right after they were sorted into their houses, and got to their common room. Maybe he felt something, and was scared, so he acted like he did, and decided to stay away from her by being a player.

She would never know though. Lily walked until they got to the common room. She laid down on the couch, and sat her bag down on the floor. She heard a door close, and someone sit down by her feet. She closed her eyes and laid there. She fell asleep after awhile.

Lily woke up and James was sleeping in a chair. Her shoes were off, and so was her cloak. He must of took them off. He still had his cloak and shoes on. She went over and slide his shoes off. Then she lifted his cloak off one arm, then the other. She slide the cloak from underneath him, and laid it on the couch. Then she summoned a blanket, and laid it down on him. She smoothed his hair back.

Lily left him alone, and went to her room. She closed her door quietly, and laid down on her bed again. She grabbed her journal and wrote in it. She closed it up and locked it, after she was done. She laid down on her pillow, and fell asleep instantly.

Lily woke up in the morning with a note on her bedside table. She opened it, and saw it was from James. This is what it said:

Lily,

I couldn't believe you compared me to Malfoy,

I didn't want to believe it was true.

I could see you were about to cry,

Because you were so blue.

Just let me take your pain away,

I'll be by your side every day.

You won't suffer anymore,

I'll open a new door,

For you.

A door of happiness and love,

That includes me and none of the above.

I'll make sure your heart doesn't ache,

I'll make,

It all better.

I'll give you a better life,

If you would only be my wife.

James

Lily looked at the letter. She reread it. What was that about? If you would only be my wife?!? Holy crap. Was he in love with her, or could he just not think of anything else to put there? Did he even write that?

Lily's mind asked a lot of questions. Lily was so confused. She needed to talk to De. She got dressed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. She ran through the halls to the Gryffindor common room, and ran upstairs to De's room. She burst through the door, and shook De awake. De blinked at her through sleepy eyes.

"Bloody Hell Lily!"

"Sorry De, but I need to show you something."

De sat up, and Lily handed her the letter. De read it, and her eyes opened widely, and her jaw dropped.

"HOLY SHIT LILY!"

"Yea!"

"What the hell did you do to get him to write this?"

"I don't know, I compared him to Malfoy, and did nothing else."

"Damn girl!"

"Do you think he meant it?"

"Well probably knowing his twisted mind."

"Oh my god De, that is creepy. If you would only be my wife? That is so freaky. What the hell am I gonna do? I'm not ready for marriage......and especially not to him!"

"Well I don't know Lily, but try to avoid him if you can, if you really feel that way towards him."

"Ok thanks De, so what's new with you."

"Nothing new with me, but I have some new gossip."

"Ooooooooo, tell me!"

"Well Peter had his first time with Kat, the Hufflepuff whore. He bragged about it. I talked to Kat, and she said that it was the worst thing ever, and would never do it with him again, even for a million dollars!"

"Oh My God! That is hilarious!"

"Your telling me! I couldn't stop laughing when I heard that. I thought my stomach was gonna split open!"

"Well I have something else to show you, and this is freakier than James' note!"

"Ooook."

Lily handed her Lucius note. De read it, and looked freaked out.

"Ok if James wrote that too, then he needs to go to a nut house!"

"No Lucius Malfoy wrote it!"

"Lily, you need to do something about him. He is gonna rape you one of these days, when he catches you off guard. So have at least a couple people with you at all times!"

"Ok De, I'm gonna run back to my common room, if that's alright with you. I'll yell really loud if I'm in trouble, and James will come flying to rescue me!"

"Lily stop joking around. This is some serious shit. You got a rapist, and potential murderer after you. Then you have a guy that wants you to be his wife, and is kinda creepy with his poetry.......what am I saying, this shit is funny. Well not the first part, but the James part is!"

"That's what I'm saying.......Malfoy part is creepy though. He is so disgusting, and powerful, causing him to be creepy, and he always gets what he wants, so now I don't know what to do."

"Well you better go, before he gets up," De replied with a smile.

"Bye De, thanks for the help."

"Anytime Lily, anytime."

Lily raced out of the room and out of the common room. She raced to the Head common room, and rushed inside. She slammed the door shut, and flung her bedroom door open, and locked it, then she locked the bathroom one.

Lily breathed in, and she heard a knock on the door. That had to be one of the two people she didn't want to see. And she was guessing it wasn't Malfoy. So that made it James. He knew she was awake, and in there. Crap, now what was she gonna do? She didn't know how she felt around him. Things were so confusing for her.

Well I'm gonna leave it there reviewers. All my chapters are short, but at least you got them. I could have left you with nothing, but I left you with decent sized chapters. Not as long as the earlier ones, but oh well! R & R PLZ!
