Author's Notes- Ok, I decided to make a Epilouge/songfic for "Am I Missing You". I know, I know, I'm pathetic. Anyways, I'll try to connect the song (which is "Sweet Misery" from Michelle Branch's CD, The Spirit Room) to the fic, but I LOVE this song, it's so sweet, so... yeah.
Disclamer- I own nothing. The characters belong to the Harry Potter people (I'm not on their payroll), and the song belongs to Michelle Branch and her people (I'm not on their payroll EITHER).
Am I Missing You
Sweet Misery
~I was lost
And you were found
You seemed to stand on solid ground~
Lily Evans was not exactly that noticed around her school. She had friends, and was tight with them. But other than that, her reputation was "boys, stay away". James Potter was the most popular boy in the same school. He had friends, as was tight with them to. But his repuatation was "girls fall at my feet, and I get bored with them after a week". That's how it was, for nearly six years...
~I was weak
And you were strong
And me and my guitar
We strummed along~
When James Potter first accepted his friend's dare he never knew it was going to change his life. When he talked to Lily in the Library that one day, and asked her out, he thought she'd accept without hesitation. Lily didn't really care about James. She only accepted to teach him a lesson. But would that lesson be taught?
~Sweet misery you cause me
Sweet misery you called me
Sweet misery you cause me~
Lily didn't see it coming that night in the Common Room, when James broke up with her. When James walked into the Common Room and saw Lily waiting for him, he thought it was the right thing to do. He was happy she didn't cry. But he didn't know just how many tears she shed in private. He didn't know the misery he caused her.
~I was blind
But oh, how you could see
You saw the beauty in everything
Everything and me~
Before James came along Lily was untouchable. After he left she was dateable. The only problem was James still liked Lily, and Lily still liked James. She couldn't see how much she loved James until he was gone. But James saw much he loved Lily before she was gone, and only loved her more once she was gone. She was blind, and he could see.
~I would cry
And you would smile
You'd stay with me a little while~
The tears shed over James Potter could probably have filled an ocean. And he didn't care. That's what he did to girls. He'd date them for a little while, then they'd flood the school with their tears when he broke up with him. That's what he was used to. That's what he expected. That's what came easy to him. But the easy way isn't the right road. That's one of the reasons he fell in love with Lily Evans.
~Sweet misery you caused me
Sweet misery you called me
Sweet misery you caused me~
Then, that night after the second Quidditch match, James tried again, but the outcome was only more heartbreak for both of them.
"I'm sorry for what I did last year, and if I could go back in time and stop myself from doing that, I would," James said, finally happy that he had gotten in out.
"Then why did you dump me in the first place?" Lily asked, then added, "Is it because I look different now? Is it because I changed, and I'm getting looks from other guys?"
"No!" James answered.
"Then what is it? Why did you dump me?" Lily whispered, fighting back tears.
"I don't know!" James finally said.
~And in my heart I see, oh
What you're doing to me
And I my heart I see, oh
Just how you wanted it to be
Sweet misery~
James' original plan was to treat Lily just like the other multitude of faceless girls. Lily knew that. But she didn't care. None of the girls he dated did. They all thought they would be different. Lily thought differently. Lily wanted to bring him to justice. But James couldn't treat Lily like the rest of them. She was different. Together, the two of them were different.
~Oh, whoa~
She thought she had been different for him, they all did. But James still dumped her. And she missed him.
~Sweet misery you cause me
Sweet misery you called me
Sweet misery you cause me~
After a year their friends took it into their own hands. They locked Lily and James in a room, and wouldn't let them out. Not until they made up. They weren't about to let themselves rot in misery, which is what they were doing. And since the two wouldn't do it on their own, the six friends took matters into their own hands...
~And in my heart I see, oh
What you're doing to me
And in my heart I see, oh
Just how you wanted it to be
Sweet misery~
"Lily, I'm really sorry for what I did to you, and I regret it more than anything," James said.
"He's a really good actor. I almost believe him..." Lily thought.
She looked up at him and saw that he wasn't acting. He was saying all this, for real. It wasn't an act.
"And Lily, this is for real, I love you," James whispered.
"James..." she whispered, and closed her eyes tight, "I... I... I love you too."
And when she kissed him, she knew what he had wanted it to be like. And for once, she didn't care.
~I was weak
And you were strong
And me and my guitar
We strummed along~
What started off as a dare from a best friend turned out as a love that would last a lifetime. Lily Evans and James Potter would stay together until one Halloween night... But even then, when Voldemort killed them, their love lasted forever.
Author's Notes- well, I swear, this is all that there is of Am I Missing You. I hope you all liked it. There's going to be a sequel! Yeah (shout out to Wandering Blue Andalite for giving me the idea), it's about Liz and Sirius *grins evilly*. So look for that! Also, go read Lily's Lake and Yours Hating James Potter if you allready haven't (my reviewers tell me they're both really good). Thanks everyone!
