~*Someday We'll Know*~
Lily ran out of the common room. She fled to the Astronomy Tower. She always went there when she needed to get away from it all. She began to cry. She couldn't believe that James had said all those things.
~*~
James stood there, completely angry with himself for giving in to the veela charm. He shouldn't have said anything at all to Alexia. I'm such a stupid git! he thought.
"What an idiot you are!" the American girl said. "You called your girlfriend a mudblood!"
"You're a veela! I couldn't help myself!"
"If you loved her at all, you wouldn't have said anything. By the way, I'm only PART veela!" She turned on her heels, whacking James in the face with her long blonde hair.
~*~
James realized where Lily sped off to. When he arrived to his destination, he found Lily huddled up on the floor with her chin resting up on her knees. Her eyes looked like they had no tears left. The floor was wet from her weeping. James felt awful at the sight of her like that. And the facts that he had done something to make her feel this way, made him feel even more terrible.
He sat down across from her. She didn't acknowledge his presence. She just sat there.crying. Few minutes of silence occurred, then....
"You've changed," she said simply.
"We've all changed. We've grown.."
"No. You're different from before. Before, you were my best friend. This little boy that was so sweet and friendly to everybody. A little boy who would beg for forgiveness when I was angry with him. This little..runt that would play dolls and tea party with me. The best little boy alive," She seemed so happy as she recalled the memories of their childhood. "Now, you're this cocky teenager that thinks he's the best at everything. This guy who thinks that everybody loves him 'cause he's the 'cutest'.
"I've watched you as you changed, James. I've watched you ask hundreds of girls out. Then when you didn't have a date to go somewhere, guess who came to the rescue? Me. I've always been your last resort and I'm sick and tired of it. After all that we've been through, I thought that I knew who James Potter was. I thought that he felt that I was more than a friend. But..hey. I can make a mistake." Lily's eyes began to water.
"Lily, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you felt that way."
"Yeah, well, I am too. I'm sorry for wasting your precious time. I guess I was just your girlfriend for this week, right?" A weak smile appeared on her face as tears ran down her cheek.
"Listen. Just give me a second chance."
She shook her head as if saying no. "You've had your second chance. In fact, you've had your third, fourth, and fifth chance as well. I've forgiven you so many times that I lost count. I know it's the right thing to do, but....I just can't deal with it anymore. Besides...why would you want to be friends with a stupid mudblood?"
James didn't know what to say. He couldn't think of a way to express how truly sorry he was. He just remained silent.
"Goodbye, James," she said finally.
He was astonished at what she had just said. He knew she meant it as "goodbye forever." He looked at her once more. Her eyes were watering, tears falling to the ground, but she still was as radiant as ever. He left the emerald ring in front of her. "Goodbye, Lil. I love you."
Lily shed even more tears as he left. She knew she had to do let him go. She forgot why though. As soon as he said goodbye, she missed him. She would never have her best friend again.
A/N So sad. Tears. Dude, if that happened to me, I would be crying hysterically. Well, I hope it wasn't too melodramatic. Please review.
