A/N Ahhh so it is the last chapter of my very first fic, but for some
reason, it's not the first fic I ever finished. Weird? I think so.
~*Someday We'll Know*~
James ran as fast as he could to wherever the hell his feet were taking him. A glimpse of red hair caught his attention.
"LILY?!"
The ring. She had been wearing it ever since she found it. She had been packing all her belongings, getting ready to leave--leave the life she was in and leave the love she had been holding on to for so long. It was the ring James had given her all those years ago. She kept it stowed away after what had happened and only just decided that it was too beautiful to keep locked up.
As she gazed at the emerald, memories of the past came flooding back. James was sitting with her in front of the dollhouse she had gotten for Christmas; he was playing with her...willingly. It seemed that whatever she wanted to do, James would always be there right along with her.no matter what.
"LILY?!"
Lily's head snapped up instantaneously as she recognized her name being called. She searched the many heads of the crowd for her caller. James. She tried to look away and hoped that he wouldn't notice her, but it was too late; he was already walking towards her in full speed, it seemed.
"Lily, don't go. Please, just.stay!!"
"I have to. I have to get away. You can't stop me, James! I've made up my mind."
Before James could say anything a voice came overhead. "Flight number 256 is ready for boarding. Passengers numbers 1 through 50, please begin boarding."
"That's me. Goodbye, James, and congratulations." She attempted to pick up her bags, but James wouldn't move; he was standing right in front of them.
"James, what are you doing? I need to get my things."
He didn't budge. "No. I won't let you."
"What? Why not?"
"Because I love you."
"I know you love me. You're my best friend and I yours. Now, just let me get my bags."
"Lily, no. You don't understand. I'm.in love with you."
She was baffled. Just like he was when she announced her love for him. Am I dreaming? Because this is totally bizarre, she thought.
"James, what are you talking about?" she asked slowly, still unsure if she was hallucinating or not.
"I love you, Lily. Not just as a friend, but like I always have. Like I always will."
"But.what about Emma? You're about to marry her. You can't just do that."
"We're not getting married. She understands. I love you and that's all there is."
"James." He moved closer to her and grasped her hand into his.
"Lily, just listen to me. If you want to leave, I'll go with you. No matter what you want to do I'll be there.always."
And their lips met into a sweet, gentle, and passionate kiss that lasted for what seemed like forever.
"I love you, James."
"I love you too.but, Lily."
"Mmm?"
"You're stepping on my foot."
"Oh!" she moved her shoe away from his and smiled, "Sorry."
"It's alright. There's just one thing I need an answer to."
"Oh really? And what would that be?"
James knelt on one knee and took her hand into his.
"Lily Anne Evans, will you marry me?"
In that moment, it seemed like everything that had been missing in Lily's life came rushing to her in one movement, and she was too overwhelmed to speak. Like before, memories of their childhood filled her mind; the day she received her Hogwarts letter, the day he gave her the ring, and the day she realized she loved him. It was perfect and somehow a little voice brought her back to the real world and she realized what she had to do.
She smiled and said, "Yes. Of course."
~*One Month Later*~
Lily and James Potter sat cozily together, wrapped up in each other's arms. They had been married for a week now and were loving every second.
"You know," James said, "I used to think 'Someday we'll know."
"We'll know what?"
"If we were supposed to be together or not."
"Well, one day we knew."
The end.

"90 miles outside Chicago Can't stop driving I don't know why So many questions I need an answer Two years later you're still on my mind Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart Who holds the stars up in the sky Is true love once in a lifetime Did the captain of the titanic cry Someday we'll know If love can move a mountain Someday we'll know Why the sky is blue Someday we'll know Why I wasn't meant for you Does anybody know the way to Atlantis Or what the wind says when she cries I'm speeding by the place that I met you For the 97th time tonight Someday we'll know If love can move a mountain Someday we'll know Why the sky is blue Someday we'll know Why I wasn't meant for you Someday we'll know Why Samson loved Delilah One day I'll go Dancing on the moon Someday you'll know That I was the one for you I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow I watched the stars crash in the sea If I could ask god just one question Why aren't you here with me Someday we'll know If love can move a mountain Someday we'll know Why the sky is blue Someday we'll know Why I wasn't meant for you Someday we'll know Why Samson loved Delilah One day I'll go Dancing on the moon Someday you'll know That I was the One for you"
