Remember :
*Lily's thoughts*
[James' thoughts]
*********************
From Chapter 8.....

"Do you know what she did to me?" Lily shot back.

"What did she do to you," James answered quickly, with a look of concern.

"Nothing, James. Forget I ever mentioned it." Lily replied, immensely regretting her previous statement. *Shit. Shit. He's not supposed to know about that. It's not a big deal. Calm down, Lils. It'll be ok*

"Now who's not telling the other things, Lily?"

"Do you have to be such a stupid prat, Potter?"

[That hurts. She's talking to me like she did when we hated each other. If that's how Li--Evans wants it to be, fine. Two can play that game.]

"Well, Evans, at least I'm not a bitch that screws around with people's feelings."

"What are you talking about, Potter?"

"You know damn well what I'm talking about. Have you ever even liked a guy, because it seems to me like you use them to get your jollies."

*What am I supposed to say to that. Actually, James, I like you. Alot. A whole lot. Oh my god. I can't believe that I like him. What the hell is wrong with me?* "That's it, Potter! Get the fuck out! NOW! You are such an asshole! Will you please get out my room?!?!?"

"Fine! Just do me a favor--break some other guy's heart next time. You know, more people would like you if you weren't such a frigid bitch!"

"Get out, you self absorbed selfish jack ass! At least my parents don't have to pay people to be my friends." Lily said, incredibly angry.

"Yeah, well. At least I have parents, didn't sell them off to Voldemort." [Ah, fuck. I cannot believe I just said that. She's going to rage.]

"Ok, Potter. Just get out now. Please." Lily said, shoving him toward the door, with an eerily calm expression on her face.
However, after pushing him out the door, she promptly burst into tears.

The common room looked up as they saw James stomping red faced back to the sixth year boys' dormitory.

"Well," Peter began. "I guess that didn't go as planned."

"Yeah. I guess we better go and speak to Lily." With that, Bella and the other two stood.

"Right." Remus said. "I guess we'll see you alll later. The sextet split, girls headed to speak to Lily and the boys to talk to James.

Arabella, Emma and Sarah were wary to enter the girls' dormitory. They knew Lily well enough to know not to surprise her when she was angry.

The three walked in, expecting to find a belligerant Lily, prepared to throw curses. What they found was, in fact, much worse.

"Hey guys," Emma whispered. "Is Lily crying?"

"Oh dear. It's worse that I thought." Arabella said, a smile emerging on her features.

"What is?" Sarah asked.

"Lily likes James."

"Do we have to go in now?" Peter said. "I have a date tonight and I really don't have time to go to the Hospital Wing to have hexes removed."

James, much like Lily, was not a pleasant person when he was angry. He was liable to hex anyone or anything that crossed his path.

"How could you even say that, Peter? He's our mate. Of course we have to talk to him now." Sirius said, irritated at his friend's thoughts.

The boys entered the dormitory, with their wands out, ready to deflect any curses. The sight they saw, however, was far more disturbing that a well placed Jellylegs curse--James was pacing the length of the dormitory, muttering to himself with a worried look covering his handsome features.

"What's he doing?" Remus asked, concerned over his friend's unusual behavior.

Sirius suddenly got a grin on his face. "Well, fuck me." (A/N: Sorry, one of my friends said that and I laughed so hard that I had to find some way to include it in the story)

"What?" Peter asked, confused as he typically was.

"James really does like Lily."

The way I had originally written this chapter, I had planned to end there. But since I won't have a chance to update for a little while, due to a family vacation, I decided to include the next chapter in this one, as well. No applause, just send roses!

"Lils, sweetie." Bella began tentatively. She had never seen her best friend like this, well not since fourth year, when her parents and brother were murdered. "Are you okay?"

"Does it look like I'm okay to you, Arabella?" Lily shot back.

"There's our Lilykins. Pissy as usual." Emma said, laughing. "Will you tell us what's wrong?"

"James was right."

"Okay, but...." Bella said, obviously confused.

"You didn't let me finish." Lily cut in, beginning to get annoyed. "I was trying to say that James was right, all I do is fuck around with guy's feelings. I'm no better than Lucille. God, I'm such a bitch. And I killed my parents. Oh, and you want to know the clincher...I can't stand James, but at the same time, I really really like him. What's wrong with me?"

"Nothing's wrong with you, sweets." Bella replied, trying to comfort her best friends, whose small body wracked with sobs.

"Yeah," Em continued as she came over and put her arms around Lily. "He was just angry with you and I know as well as you do that he didn't mean it. I'm sure you said things to him that you didn't mean."

When Lily just nodded, Sarah joined the hug and said, "Besides, if it bothers you that much, you should go talk to him. It would make you feel better, I know that."

Em and Bella looked at Sarah, shocked that she would even suggest a thing. A bigger surprise came when Lily agreed. "You're right, it would. Thanks, girls. What would I do without you?"

With that simple expression of gratitude, Lily stood up to head for the boys' dormitory.

Well, I lied. I didn't type the whole two chapters. Don't hurt me. I hope that you liked it, because I do! Thanks for reading and thanks even more for the review I know that you are going to do.
