Learning to Love
James's POV~
I awoke early the next morning, to find Lily curled up comfortably beside me. Like a speeding ray of light, I remembered last night…then felt a sort of sadness. We'd kissed. But I hadn't told her I loved her. Wait a minute! Love? Lily? I couldn't possibly love her! We hate each other! Then and there I decided this couldn't go on. Lily and I couldn't be together. It was impossible. Come on, Potter! Pull yourself together! You're James Potter, every girl in the school loves you! You're not the type to fall in love…right? I shook my head and slowly got out of bed. I pulled some fresh robes on and stepped out of the hospital wing. I had to clear my head.
Arabella's POV~
I walked out into the hall, searching for Lily. I turned the corner, and walked straight into James. He was about to enter Gryffindor Tower when I called after him, "You don't know where Lily is, do you James?" He grunted, "She's in the hospital wing." I smiled, then ran off to the hospital wing. I found her lying on a fairly messy bed, and shook her until he was awake. Her eyes stared through me for a second before they focused again, then her mouth opened and uttered a single word, "James."
Lily's POV~
Arabella stared at me as if I was crazy. I felt as if I was waking from a dream. "What?" I asked irritably. Her mouth hung open, opening and closing like a fish, unable to say a word. After a minute however, she finally asked, "Where were you last night?" I blushed and proceeded to tell her all about how I'd come to visit James and how we'd kissed…then laughed. And dragged poor, shocked, Arabella off to breakfast.
James's POV~
I summoned all my courage. I would need it. Alright. You have to do this. You have to push all feeling, all thoughts of her away from you. Do it for yourself. She'll never love you back. Never. I walked up to some Ravenclaw girl. I smiled, "Hey. You wanna go out with me?" Just behind the girl's shoulder, I could see Lily and Arabella walk towards us. I knew, from the look on Lily's face, that she'd heard every word I'd said.
As a look of pain crossed her face, she ran in the opposite direction, Arabella torn between comforting her friend, or killing me. She decided. She smiled sweetly, "HOW THE HELL COULD YU DO THAT TO HER?!" I stared stubbornly at the ground. She tapped her foot impatiently on the floor, "Well?" She glared at me, "She's really hurt, you know."
Before I could say anything, that Ravenclaw girl replied, "Ya, well, James is MINE now, not ever, not, and never will be Lily's." As much as these words were probably true, Lily would never accept me. And yet…how I wished they weren't. Arabella then proceeded to glare at both of us, then spin on her heel and leave. That Ravenclaw slipped her arm through mine and began chattering, non-stop. Eventually it just faded into the background.
All I could think of was that look on Lily's face…
Lily's POV~
I threw myself on my bed, sobbing. How could he do that to me?! I thought what we felt last night was special. Then I felt my anger bubble to the surface. I hate him! Potter is an arrogant, conceited jerk, who plays around with girls' hearts, then breaks them. I hate the stuck up jerk! I hate him! Then another voice spoke in my head, But I though you loved him? What about that? I pushed that voice away. If Potter could do this to me, then I can do the same to him…I smiled slowly as a plan formed in my mind…
A/N: I know this one is short too but it's getting slightly longer with each chapter. I need ideas! Review with some suggestions please!
