Hold Onto Me

A/n- I just got my hair cut!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!! Ok, here is the much-awaited (I think) fifth and last part. The song's in here this time. Um… a lot of you have been complaining about the chapters being too short. I'm sorry about that. I just wanted to get it over with. If I have time sometime, I might rewrite it, and put in more in the beginning and so on. Sorry for the inconvenience

Disclaimer- The plot's mine. The characters and the song are not. Hope you're happy

Hold Onto Me

Held

When Lily reached the portrait of the fat lady, she was barely heard as she hiccupped out the password, but the fat lady recognizing her and her pain swung forward. Lily dash into the common room determined to make it to her dorm without anyone seeing her.

James had been half attempting his homework since Sirius had left, but he was really left thinking about Lily. His concern for what had happened to her had really made him realize that he had affection for her, and he just hoped she felt the same way.

James looked down at his homework and sighed, then put it away, sick of trying to do it and not accomplishing anything.

He packed it up and looked up just in time to see a flash of red and magenta cross the common room.

"Lily!" he called to her and she reluctantly stopped and turned around to find out why he had called her.

She was finally facing him and he noticed that her normally brilliant green eyes were blood red and her cheeks were tear stained.

"What's wrong?" he asked and walked over to her.

"Nothing of your concern," she said and turned to leave.

James reached out a hand and grabbed her arm and she turned around.

"What's wrong?" he asked again, more caring this time.

"My…my parents died," she said for some reason and then broke down and cried again.

"Oh my gosh," James whispered and pulled Lily into a sympathetic hug.

Lily looked up at him, hurt filling her eyes, "why are you being so nice?"

"Lily, because I care. Did Voldemort kill them?"

Lily nodded her head, and her crying became harder.

"Ok, no more questions about your parents," James said and took her over to a chair and kneeled down next to it.

"Lily? You know something?"

Lily just looked at him.

"I don't really hate you, in fact I like you."

Lily looked at him and then said weakly, "Me too James."

James reached out and took her hand.

"I'm here for you Lily," he said and leaned forward to give her another comforting hug.

James pulled back and looked at her face, once again noticing how beautiful she was. He leaned forward and kissed her. He could feel her cold tears on his cheeks, but he didn't mind. When he pulled back, he wiped away her tears and she smiled.

"James…" she started.

"Shh. Get your sleep, we'll talk about this in the morning," he whispered, and she leaned back and closed her eyes.

As she started to sleep she swore she could hear James whispering, "Hold onto me when your world's turning cold, and it feels like your life's spinning out of control. You're hopin', prayin', tryin' so hard to believe. Hold onto me when there's no middle ground, and every emotion is comin' unwound. And you don't know if you can hold on to your dreams. Baby, you can hold onto me."

A/n- I love that song. Hope you liked it. Review or I won't post.
