Lily snuggled up close to James, the scent of him made her tingle. They were lying in her bed, freezing. Winter was here and Christmas was on the way. She held on to him, and squeezed him praying that this moment would never end, but knew it had to.

"Come on sleepy head, I'll be late for work." James said as he unravelled his arms from around her and got out of the bed.

"James, just 5 minutes!" Lily said in a suggestive voice.

"Sorry sugarplum! I have to go, but I'll probably be back at lunchtime, until then, stay in bed and have a rest. See you later pumpkin!" He told her as he gave her a kiss on he nose.

"Bye honey!" She said as she pulled the blanket up close and watched him leave.

Once she was sure he had gone, she pulled on some clothes and got ready to go out. She was going to see her mother. And she couldn't wait. It had been a week, already.

When she finally arrived, with fruit and munchies and entered the ward her mom was asleep.

Lily was greeted by the doctor. A tall man with glasses, who had a caring smile and dark eyes.

"Miss Evans, I'm glad you came, I'm afraid we need to talk about your mothers condition." Lily felt her stomach jolt.

"Ok." Lily said as she followed him into his big, white room.

"Please sit down." The Doctor gestured, so Lily did as she was told and sat on the chair in front of his desk while he sat down opposite her and started reading through some of his files.

"Miss Evans,"

"Please call me Lily."

"Lily, I'm afraid I have some bad news." Lily almost choked on her own voice. She wondered what it could be.

"What do you mean?" Lily asked him.

"Well, recent tests ran on your mother have shown a rare form of cancer in her leg. Fortunately it is curable, and it wont cost anything, but it will take up to a month." He told her, genuinely worried.

"What? But she's being getting better. Last week I was told she was recovering well. How can you tell me this?" Lily said as she was fighting back tears. Why was this all happening to her she moaned silently.

"Well, we did think she was getting better. Obviously we were wrong and I am very sorry. The quicker we do something about it the less chance of the cancer spreading." He told her.

"Also, Miss Evans. I must ask you, have you sorted any accommodation for when your mother gets out of hospital, because she can not stay in that house. We can not have any more falls like this again. The fall was what set the cancer off, so in a way it was a blessing in disguise as we now know your mother has it."

"So, she could have been living her day to day life and she wouldn't have known she had it, while it was continuously spreading?"

"Yes that is correct." The doctor answered her.

"And, have you told my mom?" Lily asked.

"Yes, we have. I believe she was told yesterday."

"How did she take it?"

"She took it very well actually. We offered to phone and tell you but she said you'd only make a fuss and to wait until today."

Lily couldn't help it anymore, she burst into tears.

"You may go and see your mother, I'll give you some information later." The doctor said opening the door and handing a tissue to her.

"Thank you." She said as she rushed to her mothers side, who was now awake.

"You wipe those tears now! I have cancer and I'm going to get through it. There's a lot more left in this old bag yet!" Lilies mother chuckled.

"Mom, you should have let them phone me! I would have come straight down here!" Lily bawled.

"I know! And that is exactly why I didn't let them phone you. You worry too much. You shouldn't. The Doctors and nurses are fantastic. I'll get through this. You mark my words young lady, no matter what I will never, ever let this thing eat at me. I'll fight it and you know why? Because I love you and I don't want you to be on you own. Your my baby, and don't you forget that!"

It was lunchtime and James had been waiting over an hour for Lily. He decided he'd wait another 5 minutes and if she wasn't here he'd go. She walked in just as he was about to stand up.

"Where have you been? I've been waiting." He asked her in a jokey way.

"Don't lecture me. I'm not in the mood. I'm going to bed for an hour. Just leave me alone please." Lily snapped as she ran up the stairs, unable to look any one in the face. She hadn't stopped crying. She was worried about her mom. Her beloved mom. She'd lost her dad and she really didn't want to loose her mom, not now, not ever. Lily threw her self on her bed and snuggled up in the blanket, there was a knock at the door.

"James, go away!" Lily shouted.

"It's Amel, can I come in?" Amel asked Lily. Lily decided it would be better to talk to some one.

"Sure." Lily told her as Amel walked in and sat on the end of the bed.

"What is the matter?" Amel asked worriedly.

So Lily explained all about what had happened. Crying all the time. Amel held her closely and comforted her. Lily was finally calm.

Lily has just finished dinner with Malfoy. She had thanked Amel, got ready and gone out, without saying a word to James. She couldn't. She had a task, she had come to London to do it and she would succeed. Nothing or no one would stop her and that was final.

"Lily, my love, have you thought anymore about my offer, the other day?" Malfoy asked her silkily.

"Actually, I have........"

James paced the floor. He was confused. One minute Lily was absolutely fine with him, the next she hated his guts, he couldn't cope with her any more. She was too stressful. He loved her very much. He had loved her from the first time he saw her lying in his bath tub, but how did she feel about him, he wondered. He knew she had feelings for him. She had told him, he was so happy with her, but he just couldn't figure her out. He heard the door open and in walked Lily, looking freezing.

"James, I'm sorry about earlier. We need to talk." Lily told him, leading him over to the kitchen table.

"Lily are you alright, what's happened?" He asked her.

"James, my mom,. A rare form of cancer had been found in her leg." She told him, tears falling. The task ahead was going to be hard, she was certain of it.

"Oh Lily I'm sorry." He said squeezing her hand and pulling her into an embrace, but she quickly shuck him off.

"James, don't be. There's some thing I have to say. And I know your going to hate me for it."

"Lils what is it?" He interjected as tears continued to pour down her face.

"James, we can't..." She took a deep breath. "We mustn't see each other anymore." She told him, her eyes avoiding his pitiful gaze.

"What, why?" James asked.

"James, I've been seeing Malfoy. *deep breath* And I'm...I'm moving in with him. And I'm going to marry him, because.........because I..I love him."

"You liar!" He yelled in anger.

"You don't love him! Why are you doing this? I know about the marrying game but Lily! You don't need his money! I can help, you. You don't need that big house. You can buy a smaller apartment for your mom, until she gets it she can stay here." He told her hurriedly.

"James, why aren't you listening. I am moving in with Malfoy because I love him." Lily told him, still not looking at him.

"Lily, I know you don't love him." He argued.

"I do!" She said getting up to leave. "Bye James."

"No!" He shouted, grabbing her wrist.

"Lily, I love you. You don't love Malfoy. You know you don't."

"James, get it into your head, for Gods sake!"

"Lily until you can look me in the eyes and tell me you love him and that you have no feelings for me, you are staying here. If you can do that you get out of my life for good."

"James don't ask me to do that." She said crying.

"Why, because you know you can't?" He spat at her.

She took a couple of deep breaths, wiped away her tears and looked deep into his eyes. Her heart was splitting into two. But she knew she had to do it.

"I love Malofy, and I have no feelings for you." She said softly as he let go of her wrist.

"Well, don't expect him to love you back. Not even Malofy would stoop low enough to love you." He said spitefully.

"James you don't mean that."

"Yes I do. You are a whore. Now if your going, then hurry up and leave." H spat at her.

Lily trembled. She turned and walked out slamming the door behind her. She ran up the stairs. Got all her stuff together and broke down sobbing. She wiped her face and regained control of herself. She apparated to Malfoy Manor ready for a new life.

That chap was hard. I told u it was sad! God I am so mean! But don't worry it gets better.......soon.

Anyway. I hope you liked it. Please read and review.
