People care, even when you think you don't deserve it.

After Lily had eaten in the kitchen on Tuesday night, she went outside and sat by the frozen lake until just before curfew, there was nobody in the hallways except for the Ghost of Ravenclaw and Nearly Headless Nick who both smiled at her, but when she got into Gryffindor tower and got up to her dormitory, all of the bed lights flickered on and Lily froze to see all of the girls in her room staring at her, their eyes questioning where she'd been, and if she was okay.

"Lily…" Bella said softly, she looked concerned and worried for her best-friend who she hadn't heard from in hours. Bella was twisting her long dark hair around her finger as she gauged Lily's reaction,

"Hi Bella" Lily put on a fake smile as she took off her robes and uniform, and put on her pajamas, Pixie sighed when she saw what Lily was doing, she was pushing people out, and probably didn't even realise it.

"Are you okay?" Lorelei asked nervously, she wasn't expecting Lily to act like this, actually, she didn't know what Lily would respond to this kind of situation like. Lily was unpredictable, she could have screamed, cried, wailed, asked for help, or she'd just pretend that it didn't happen, that everything was okay, even though it wasn't.

"Me? Yeah, I'm fine Lorry" Lily faked again as she got under her covers and pretended to get ready to go to sleep, but then all of the girls in the room chimed in.

"Come on Lily, don't be stupid. We know what happened" Taylor said bluntly, Lily froze at this statement.

"We care, Lily" Nina said softly, the tears were welling up in Lily's eyes.

"Yeah, do you want me to beat the shit out of him?" Lorelei asked, trying to bring some humour into the situation, Lily gave a half snort, and a half sob. Pixie froze when she heard the sob, then leaped out of her bed and ran to Lily's, all of the girls did when they realised what was happening.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Pixie asked softly as she lay next to Lily and began patting her hair to try and calm her down, Lily was nearly hyperventilating now.

"n-n-no…" she gasped out, she tried to hide her face, she tried to hide her tears, but it wasn't working, everything hurt. Especially her heart.

"You will one day" Bella tried to be comforting, and Lily snorted.

She wished she still had Vincent as her best-friend, all of their memories were flashing through her mind, the laughter, the jokes, the hugs, the secrets, the late nights, the early mornings, the letters and messages, the silly fights, and the comfort. It was all gone, everything. Everything was shattered. Everything was broken into a million pieces, just like her heart. Just like her trust.

"Everything hurts" she whispered, but nobody heard. They were all asleep.

After lying in her bed, staring at the ceiling and willing herself not to cry, she got out of bed and stared out the window, looking at the stars and thinking.

It was 1am, she still couldn't sleep. The stars were sparkling in the night sky, and a few owls were hooting in the distance towards the Owlery.

It was now 2am, the tears started. The pain was almost unbearable.

3am, the tears stopped, and the hurt came back a bit stronger. It now felt like she'd been run over by a bus.

4am, was that a bit of tiredness? Her eyelids began to droop shut.

5am, she fell asleep on her bed. Sleeping with no dreams, only memories with the occasional tear streaking down her face.

Whilst Lily was sleeping, her friends were worrying. It was now lunchtime and she was still asleep and hadn't stirred each time one of them had enough time in their breaks to check on her.

"Hey," Vincent greeted them, he looked like he'd had a full night's sleep, and a pretty good morning Pixie noticed as he sat down next to them. As soon as Lorelei, Sofia, Taylor, and Nina saw him sit down, they all looked at him disgustedly and walked off.

"Jeez, what's their problem?" he muttered, Pixie and Bella stared at him unbelievably. His face showed a fake type of innocence, but there was a look of anger and frustration in his eyes that made the girls wary.

"Oh, who knows?" Pixie said sarcastically, he rolled his eyes and ignored her comment.

"Whatever, I'm going to the library" Vincent said uncaringly as he stood up and walked off.

"I can't believe him sometimes, Pix" Bella murmured, watching him walk off. She'd liked him a few months ago; she supposed it was a good thing that he didn't find out. Maybe Lily and Vincent would be okay, maybe not.

"Aren't you coming?" Vincent turned around to them and snapped; Pixie and Lily glanced at each other, and then nodded.

"Sure!" Pixie agreed quickly,

"Of course!" Bella added on, unconvincingly.

When Lily woke up, or woke from her sleep, she wasn't fully awake until the Easter Holidays. Everything was just a clouded haze, like she was viewing her life on a grainy screen and bits of it were missing.

And then something amazing shocked her so much, she almost broke free of the cloud above her head, she almost felt happiness for the first time in months.
