CHAPTER FOURTEEN: Healing wounds
Lily checked his pulse. Yes, he was alive, but barely. She shook him slightly, but he didn't move. "James" she whispered in his ear as he shook him harder. Still, he didn't move. Lily removed her glove from her right hand and gently pressed it against his cheek. When James's face detected warmth, his eyelid fluttered open and saw Lily kneeling beside him with her warm hand on his cheek. He had never felt better than to see his friend by his side worried for him. "Lily." he croaked out. Lily smiled and hugged him. "God James. What are you doing out here like this?" she said. James sat down properly. "Come on. Let's go back to the tower." said Lily sweetly. James shook his head. "No. Leave me here to die. There's nothing worth living for anymore." he croaked. Lily hugged him. "Oh James. Don't say that. There are lots of things worth living for. So many people would miss you James. Come on. Let's go." she said in a soothing voice. James was too weak to argue. "All right." he said and tried to stand up but fell down into the snow again. Lily helped him stand up and placed his arm on her shoulder to help him walk. But before she took off her coat, gloves and scarf and put them on him. He protested but Lily just wouldn't take them, so he used them. And Lily helped him back to Gryffindor tower.
Quickly, she halped James to his room, where he changed ( Lily went out of course) and then she helped him to the common room where she had made him a bed by the fire. She laid him down and covered him with thick blankets. She checked his temperature, which was a bit high. Then James coughed. "How careless of you James. You caught a nasty cold." she scolded him. James made a weak smile. Lily shook her head and grabbed his hand. "You're so cold James. I think you should rest for a while to regain energy." she said worriedly. James smiled again. "Ok. But, will you stay here? Please?" he whispered. Lily smiled. "Of course. But when you fall asleep, I'll go do something and be right back before you notice it Ok?" she said. James smiled and drifted off to sleep.
James woke up at 11:30 pm at night. He sat up and saw Lily asleep in one of the chairs with an open book in her lap. He wrapped himself with a blanket and took another one. He went over to her and placed the blanket over her to warm her up. Lily felt the blanket on her and woke up to see James wrapped in a blanket trying to make her warm. "James?" she said dazed. James looked at her. "Oh. Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." he whispered. Lily smiled. "It's all right. So, are you feeling better?" she asked. "Yes. I suppose." answered James. Lily took the blanket on top of her and wrapped herself in it and sat down by the fire. Then she motioned James to sit beside her. James accepted the offer and took a seat by her side.
There was a long silence before any of them made a sound. "Thank you Lils. I would've died out there." whispered James. Lily looked at him and smiled again. "You're welcome. But I want to ask you, why were you out there in the first place?" she asked gently. James was silent. Then Lily tried to back up, "You don't have to answer that. It's non of my buisness..." but she was cut off by James. "No. You deserve to know." James paused for a moment and plucked out all the courage he could. "Darleen broke up with me. I ran from her and started to cry. Then I heard her critiszing me. Telling her friends she used me. I felt furious and sad and decided to end my life. I came up here and changed into the least warm clothes I could find and then went outside and froze myself." Lily was silent, she looked into the fire. "I'm sorry you lost Darleen. But it was really her loss, not yours." she said. " Lily. I loved her. I loved her so much. She was everything to me, everything. And she was using me. I feel like an idiot. But I miss her." said James. Then James started to cry. Lily hugged him and comforted him. "James. Why do you do this for a person? Why do you try to end your life when it was her fault? There are other people out there James. And somewhere, there's someone perfect for you. I know I can't really know how you're feeling because I've never had a boyfriend, but I've seen others suffer for this same reason. Sometimes they are right to feel sad and sometimes they aren't. But anyway, you shouldn't be sad James. She should be, she lost you, not you."
James looked up. Lily was smiling. "Wipe those tears. Darleen's not worthy of them." she said. James broke from her hug and dried his tears. "Thanks again Lily. You've helped so much. I wish I could repay you." he said smiling. Lily's eyes flashed with kindness. "You don't have to James. Just, don't try to freeze yourself to death again." she said with a hint of humor in her voice. James grinned. "I won't. So, changing the subject, do you have suggestions for this year's event?" he said. "Yeah. Lots of people said they wanted a masquerade. I think it should be fun. Don't you?" said Lily cheerfully. "Yeah. Definetly. Let's tell Dumbledore that. And so, how've you been Lils? You've changed so much since I saw you last year." said James. His eyes flashed with curiosity. Lily chuckled. "Yeah. I've changed a bit. I'm ok. Still dateless, but happy. I am a bit more noticed than last year and I've surfaced my real personality." she said. "Oh. Yeah, definetly. I remember you were shy and quiet and kinda mysterious. You always tried to warn me against Harper. Why though?" asked James curiously. Lily fell silent, she didn't know what to say.
