A Passion
Chapter 7 The Walk
Morning came and the sun was rising in to the soft dawn-tinted clouds. The morning birds were out and about chirping cheerfully. There was the peaceful wind blowing gracefully into their romantic bedroom, softly blowing into their faces. Lily stirred. She opened her eyes, blinking a few times. She rolled to her side, and opened her eyes gently. She awoke to a fully awaken James, who was smiling at her, not saying a word.
"Jesus James!" Lily said startled. "What are you doing, why aren't you downstairs having breakfast or something?" Lily looked outside from her bed. "And to add to that, the sun is barely rising, what is a lazy guy like you, up?" Lily looked at him once more. " And why are you staring at me?"
James smiled and said softly, " I just woke up, and I'm not that hungry." James gently moved a strand of Lily's hair out of her face. " And I may be lazy, but the sunrise is beautiful, and I love to hear the sound of the ocean in the morning." James turned on his back taking a deep breath. " And I was looking at you for a minute because you were talking to me." James got out of bed. He put on a black satin robe that had James A. M. Potter inscribed in the back in white writing. " Oh my mother made you one too." He threw a rosy pink satin robe on the bed. It had Lily H. AE. Evans inscribed in the back with white also.
"Thanks." Lily yawned. She got up and put the robe on. She went straight to the balcony. She sighed and looked down. She muttered to herself. "If I could just have more time alone, I only have a week left until I get married to the one I don't want to." She kept looking down. " What If he kills me when we get married and after we have children?"
James looked at her strangely. Although he couldn't hear what she was saying, he was curious. He left the room anyway, not wanting her have her temper come back so early in the morning. James went down, searching for the kitchen. Damn castle, too many doors. They should have big light arrows, pointing to the direction of the kitchen. Then when I get there, a huge door with huge writing saying 'THE KITCHEN, ENTER HERE'. He thought. Then he turned a corner and there it was. The kitchen. Many house elves were going in and out of it, with trays and trays of food. He entered cheerfully. "Food." He was hungry.
Lily looked up at the sunrise. She gazed out to the mountains, and then back into the ocean, which was splashing the rocks violently. "Great, another day." She sighed. She turned towards the stairs that led down to the ocean from her balcony.
" I follow the night," She looked up at the sky. " Can't stand the light." She went back to gazing the ocean. " When will I begin, to live again." She walked along the shore, the ocean whites hitting her bare feet gently. She lifted her silky gown, so it wouldn't get wet.
"Lily!" James came in with milk and cookies. "Lily where'd ya go?" James eyed the door out to the balcony, the cool breeze blowing the curtains around.
"One day I'll fly away." She sang, watching the birds soar above her. " Leave all this to yesterday." She leaned up against a rock in the sand. She held her hands up to her chest and closed her eyes. "What more could your love do for me?" Lily watched James climb down the stairs to follow her.
"When will love be through with me?" Lily kept walking a long the shore. " Why live life from dream to dream." Lily crouched down and with her whole hand grazed the beige sand. "And dread the day, when dreaming ends." James had just arrived to her, when he hid behind the rock she was close too.
Lily got up again and kept walking, unaware that he was following her. He kept moving along with her at a steady pace. "One day I'll fly away, leave all this to yesterday." She sang sadly. "Why live life from dream to dream, and dread the day, when dreaming ends."
She found a small rock and sat on it. She let the ocean water splash her knees and down. James crept up behind her. " One day I'll fly away." She closed her eyes tragically. " Fly, fly, away." She ended.
James carefully and slyly sat on the rock with her. " You're a really nice singer." Lily jumped. " How, when, how did, when did you, how come you didn't tell me you were listening to me?" She glared.
"Why does it matter?" He teased. " Well it doesn't I guess, but its not right to sneak up behind people and scare the half to death." She educated him.
"I'm sorry Princess I-don't-like-to-be-bothered." He shot back. " I think we should get back. I don't want Sirius to get scared."
Lily laughed. " Why would he get scared." James grinned and got up. "Because he's in your castle." He looked at her, grinning from head to toe. "Uh!" She said offended, but grinned back at him. "You know what, you're an evil, demented Anal Retentive Buttplugg." She giggled madly then pushed him into the water. He fell bringing her along with him. They both splashed in the water until Lily pushed him once more. He flew back and made a huge splash. " And James Potter, guess what?" James grinned. " What Lily Evans, what?" "I'm going to race you back to the castle, and I'm going to win." And with that last saying, Lily was off. James tried to get up, but another wave forced him down.
James was after Lily like there was no tomorrow. He had pushed her and she fell. Lily jumped back up and tripped him. He fell with a big thump, sand going everywhere including into his mouth. He spat it out, and was up in merely two seconds.
He passed her with no hesitations. She jumped on his back and he fell, from not expecting another 100 pounds. They laughed and tackled each other for seemed what like eternally. They heard the castle bells ringing. Lily gasped and pushed James off of her. They were out near the ocean for nearly the whole day.
James got off of her and rolled to the side. Lily got up and pulled his hand up. James walked back with her quietly. When they reached the balcony stairs, he pulled her aside.
"Lily," He asked. "Do you love me?" Lily looked at him for a second, then responded flatly, " I don't believe in love."
"Don't believe in love? Why?" He said outraged. Lily looked down. "Because, I know I will just get my heart broken. We'll love for a little while, then when we decide that we don't like each other, we will avoid each other. I'd much rather have a relationship where we yell and scream at each other, then not talk at all, thank you very much."
James laughed at her answer. "Love is a many splendid thing, Love lifts us up where we belong, all you need is love."
"Please, don't start this." She said trying to walk away. "All you need is love." James sang. "A girl has go to leave." She said, trying to make him realize he was in her way.
"All you need is love." He insisted. "She'll end up unhappy." She informed him. "All you need is love." He insisted once more.
"Love is just a game." She gave in, she sang. "I was made for loving you baby, you were made for loving me." James sang walking along the steps with her. "The only way loving me baby, is to come and set me free." She pointed towards the sea.
"Just one night, gimme just one night." He sang. "You can stay, but I bid you good day." She curtsied and walked up the steps. James paused. "In the name of love, one night in the name of love." He sang loudly.
Lily turned to him, grinned and sang, "You crazy fool, I won't give in to you." She went back up to walking the stairs. James stood there. Then a minute later said, "Don't." She stopped. "Leave me this way. I can't survive without your sweet love, oh baby, don't leave me this way."
Lily looked down, then turned around slowly. "You think, that people, would have had enough of silly love songs." She sang softly.
James looked around. "I look around me, and I see it isn't so, he he, no." Lily looked up at him. "Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs."
"Well what's wrong with that?" James and her got up to the balcony and looked over it. "I'd like to know, cause hear I go, again," James jumped up on the balcony edge. "Love lifts us up where we belong," Lily squeaked, "Get down, get down!" She tried grabbing his hand, but he raised them, and waved them around like he was flying gracefully. "Where eagles, fly, over mountains high." He jumped down.
"Love makes us act like we are fool, Throw our lives away, for one happy day." She sang sadly.
"We could be heroes!" He sang proudly. "Just for one day." Lily walked around the balcony. "You, you will be mean." She educated him.
"No, I won't." James laughed. Lily threw her hands in frustration. "And I, I'll leave all the time." She sang. "We should be lovers!" He sang loud and proud.
"We can't do that." She sang flatly. "We should be heroes, and that's a fact." He sang with a hint of you-should-believe-me voice.
"Though nothing, will keep us together." She sang, trying to get through to him. James smiled, like she was trying to stop him from singing about love. "We could steal time, for eternity." He sang with bliss.
They held hands, and held them up to their chests. "We could be heroes, forever and ever, we could be heroes, forever and ever, we could be heroes," They sang in unison.
"Just because I, will always love you." He sang lovingly. "And I," Lily sang, but James cut in with her. "Can't help loving," She stopped. "You." James sang by himself.
"How wonderful life is," Lily sang to him. "Now you're in the world." They finished together.
Their low breathings were heard. "Lily? Do you love me?" James asked again. Lily hesitated. She bit her lip and looked down. She loved him, but was afraid to admit it.
"James, I don't know. I'm scared." She replied. She looked up, hoping to see an understanding face. But instead a hurt and depressed face looked down at her.
"Right. Lily Evans?" James turned his head. His voice lowered and went deadly. "Are you ever going to grow up and face your fears?" He paused. Hoping for an answer. She looked down again, ashamed. "I guess, I'll never know, will I?" She looked up with tears glistening in her eyes.
James walked up the stairs. He left Lily upset and hurt. She walked up a second later, not even glancing at him. She walked right passed him and out the door. James punched the wall in fury. And walked after her.
