Too Good For Me

(Just to warn you there is some language in this chapter)

Lily was going to their tree. The tree where everything good had happened between her and James. Where he officially asked her to be his girlfriend, where he gave her the emerald necklace that she never takes off, and they snuck out after curfew to watch the stars. She wanted to simply sit there and enjoy the beautiful day.

It was going to be all fine until she saw James there with a very distant look on his face.

"James, is everything ok?" Lily asked quietly.

"Lily, we have to break up." James said glumly.

Lily just stood there feeling the tears coming to her face. "Ha-Ha James, very funny. Now serious what's up?"

"I'm not kidding Lily. We have to break up."

Lily stood there for a couple seconds that really felt like minutes. Then came the tears. Then came the anger that she was so known for. "WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL JAMES? YOU CHASE AFTER ME FOR THREE YEARS AND THEN WHEN I FINALLY FALL FOR YOU, YOU BREAK UP WITH ME!"

James just sat there and let her scream at him which just made Lily even madder. "AND YOU WON'T EVEN GIVE ME A REASON WILL YOU, YOU ASS HAT? YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST DUMP ME? I WAS JUST ANOTHER GAME TO YOU WASN'T I? THAT'S ALL I'VE EVER BEEN!"

Something in James finally snapped and he stood up to fight back. "YOU THINK YOU WERE A GAME? GOD LILY, I LOVE YOU AND ALL BUT SOMETIMES YOU REALLY ARE THICK! WE CAN'T DATE BECAUSE YOUR TOO GOOD FOR ME DAMNIT! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT? YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEEN TOO GOOD FOR ME AND YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE!"

Both stood there breathing heavy, tears in their eyes, staring at each other intensely like if they were to look away, the entire world would fall apart.

"You think I'm too good for you?" Lily whispered.

"Of course! Everyone knows that and I'm sure that you even know that."
"James, you may possibly be the most ridiculous person I've ever met. You can be an ass, you can be a total jerk, but you are also the only jerky ass I want to be with and don't you ever think differently."

Both met each other in an intense embrace and just stood there hugging each other, both with tears flowing down their face. They didn't even notice the crowd they had gathered to watch. They burst into applause and it was like some cheesy movie that Lily always made James watch.

Lily pulled away thinking back to what James yelled at her. "Wait, you love me?"
