Chapter 2: The Journey

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

Doing everything that I believe in

Going by the rules that I've been taught

More understanding of what's around me

And protected from the walls of love

All that you see is me

And all I truly believe

That I was born to try

I've learned to love

Be understanding

And believe in life

But you've got to make choices

Be wrong or right

Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like

But I was born to try

No point in talking what you should have been

And regretting the things that went on

Life's full of mistakes, destinies and fate

Remove the clouds look at the bigger picture

And all that you see is me

And all I truly believe

That I was born to try

I've learned to love

Be understanding

And believe in life

But you've got to make choices

Be wrong or right

Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like

But I was born to try

All that you see is me

All I truly believe

All that you see is me

And all I truly believe

That I was born to try

I've learned to love

Be understanding

And believe in life

But you've got to make choices

Be wrong or right

Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like

But I was born to try

But you've got to make choices

Be wrong or right

Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like

But I was born to try

Lily sang this to herself over and over on the train trip home, tears streaming down her face. The train guard tried to comfort her, but Lily wouldn't open up. She couldn't speak, she was too shocked for words, with the fact always at the back of her mind that her mother might not make it through the treatment, and she would have to go back to school without a mother to turn to and friends that probably would ditch her. *When you are popular*, she thought *your friends will forget you once your out of there, your relationships are shallow, they have no meaning.* At this thought, she started to cry once again.

"Why me?" she screamed in her head. Almost straight away, she heard another voice "Because life has its reasons" "Freaky" she said aloud. The people in the carriage stared at her strangely. Lily blushed and got out her diary.

Dear Diary, I'm on the way to mum's. I wish things weren't like this, I feel like crying but I can't because I am drained of tears. I have cried more today and last night then I have in my whole life, I feel like rubbish and I can only imagine like what type of nightmare I look like, no mascara, lipgloss and my eyes are red, as is my whole face.

"How could something so magic

become something so tragic

right before my eyes

two separate lives

every second was a precious moment

now I'm thinking about the path I've chosen" -Delta Goodrem, My Big Mistake

That part of her song is now my theme song, I heard Delta on a muggle radio and I now absolutely adore her. She's suffering from cancer too! I hope my mum and her make it through, they have done so much for the world, my mum is a quiet achiever, she is a nurse at a muggle hospital and uses her magic on the patients, no one knows about it except for me. I think she is a champion. She is my idol. I look up to her. My stop is next so I better get ready to get off. Love, Lily -xxx-

Lily got ready to see her mum; she took a deep breath and got off the train. Lily saw her mum. Standing there, all alone. But she couldn't tell how well she looked; she was covered in layers and layers of jumpers.

"Mum!" she called out.

A/N I had to add in some stuff about her train trip. Sorry it's really short but I wanted to get that out of the way.

In case you hadn't realised, I love Delta Goodrem, who doesn't?! If you don't, please don't flame me about her. I'm actually listening to her at the moment!

Anyway, please review and keep the ideas coming!! They are a huge help
