THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL OF THE REVIEWS!!! They really mean a lot to me.
Keep on sending me reviews please!
I'm really sorry for the delay in updates, it's just that I have had a lot
of work to do for school.
On with the fic! ~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was now midday and Lily was on her break. She sat, alone in the lounge and thought about the nameless man on the train; unconsciously smiling.
"Lily.Earth to Lily!" A woman said, waving a hand in front of Lily's face. She had long black hair that flowed down her back and piercing blue eyes. She was Chloe, Lily's bestest friend for the last 3 years.
"What.huh?" Lily said, coming out of her thoughts about James.
"You were totally spaced out. What's on your mind?" Chloe asked, sitting down next to her friend on the beige couch.
"Nothing.It's just a guy." But Chloe cut her off before she could finish her sentence.
"A guy?! What's his name?! Where did you meet him?!" She cried out, her eyes were now filled with excitement. Her bouncy black hair went up and down, as she bobbed her hair along with her little exclamation.
"Uh.I don't know his name.I met him on the subway, on the way to work." Lily said.
"How do you not know his name?" Chloe asked.
Lily explained what had happened and how she felt so embarrassed.
"Lily, why didn't you ask him his name?" Chloe inquired.
"It wouldn't have mattered anyway.I mean a guy like that would want to go out with a boring person like me." She said, looking at the floor. "He's probably forgotten me already."

At the same exact time, elsewhere in Manhattan:
"Lily, is here.in New York." James said out loud to himself, pacing back and forth in his high-rise office building. He ran a hand through his hair as he sat down to think about things again.
**Flashback**
18-year-old Lily Evans was sitting with her boyfriend, James Potter on the couch in the Gryfindor common room. She was nestled safely in the crook of his arm as they watched the glowing fire. James and Lily had been going out for a year. She seemed perfectly happy, while James on the other hand was not. He seemed troubled, or worried. Suddenly James sat up and faced Lily.
"Lily, I have to say something." He said firmly.
"Okay, what is it? But if it has to do with or date on Friday, I don't want to know. I want you to surprise me!" She had such an innocent look to her face.
"No, Lily, it doesn't have anything to do with that." James said in a hoarse voice. "I think that we should break up."
"Oh." Lily said in a whisper.
"Lily listen-" But he was cut off.
"No, you don't have to explain. I don't want to know." Lily was trying to evade his eyes but he could see that her emerald-green orbs were starting to gloss with tears. She was trying to hold her tears back, but one escaped and rolled down her cheek. James tried to wipe it away but she shrank back, to the opposite side of the couch.
"Please James, don't touch me. I have to.go now." She got up and walked briskly to the staircase. At the foot of the stairs she stopped and turned.
"Goodbye, James." And with that she ran up crying.
**End Flashback**
James was driving himself crazy with his thoughts.
// What should I do? I want to see her again, but she must hate me for what I did to her in 6th year. //
Later That Same Day:
"Hey, can I get a medium coffee?" James asked the man behind the Star Bucks counter.
After receiving his coffee, he sat down in the corner. James looked straight ahead and saw something that made him catch his breath for a second. In front of him was LILY. She was sitting alone, with her back faced to him, but he knew it was her; he used to know every curve and freckle of this woman.
He found himself walking to wards her slowly.
// She looks great! She must not have recognized me on the train. //
Before James could question anything else he reached her table. He hesitantly tapped her shoulder. With a wave of her auburn hair she turned to face him.

Cliffhanger!!! Please review if you want me to continue. I'm really enjoying writing this fan fiction.
