Disclaimer: Too depressed to add something good, the next chapter is way too sad. I felt like crying. So, I own virtually nothing. Anything you recognize is J.K. Rowling's.
Author's Note: Next chapter is VERY depressing. I was almost in tears and now I'm listening to super sad music so I can empathize with my characters (which might seem weird but... it makes me write better so...). Anyways, on a happier note, we have a song chapter coming up! Chapter 12 is a song that shows how Lily is feeling. Let me know what you think!
Chapter 10
Remembering
Lily lay on her bed, her eyes fixated on a spot on her blanket. She was looking, but not seeing. In her mind's eye, she watched James break up with her again and again. Each time she saw it in her head, she felt like hurling. Tears ran down her face as she pictured her parent's happy faces in her mind.
She remembered the last time she had seen them, the goodbyes. She wondered what their last moments were like. As the car careened towards them were they filled with terror? Or at peace, having said goodbye already to at least one of their daughters and possibly the second, as they headed out the door? She shoved her face into the pillow and screamed at the injustice of it all. Trying not to concentrate on her thoughts she grabbed her head and moaned aloud.
She curled into an even smaller ball, her tears melding the pillow to her face. She heard a knock on the window. The curtains were drawn tightly so no sunshine peeked through and at first, she was sure she had imagined the noise. But then it came again.
She wondered if she should get up and see what was happening. She decided not to. Whatever or whoever it was would eventually recognize a lost cause and leave. The tapping increased. Then, she heard a muffled curse and the person outside must have used the Alohomora spell because next thing she knew, the window was opening and the curtains being drawn back by none other than James Potter.
