A/N: Thank you for reviewing. I really appreciate it.

To Charisma: What is Beta really?

To Brittny: I don't know what my name means, and would really appreciate it if you tell me…but please, I hate Vivian and it is common. Call me Zahpwarzt.

To DracoNGin527: I think you misunderstood the letter, so I'm going to explain it incase there's someone else who didn't understand. (By the way, I'm just wondering, but did you read "I Knew I Loved You"? I mean, this is the sequel to it.)

Okay, I made the letter a bit confusing, I admit, so let me clarify it. Lily's mum was about to leave her husband. She wrote this to Lily before she died, assuming that she will not pick Lily up at King's Cross because she would've already leave. But on the day that she decides to leave, Voldemort came and killed her and her husband. The ministry doesn't know about this letter that Lily's mum had left with Petunia. Is this clear enough? If it still doesn't make sense, just review or email me to tell me so, and I will try my best to explain it.

Okay this chapter, and the next one, is inspired and based on one of the episode in the old T.V. hit series "Boy Meets World." That's my one of my favorite T.V. series. Anyway, the episode is called "Angela's Men," and if you've watched it, you'd know what I'm talking about. If not, then just read on and find out.

Anyway, on with the chapter!

Chapter 6

Lily laid in bed thinking all night. In the bed next to hers, Bella was sleeping peacefully, mumbling something about Sirius every once in a while. Lily smiled, happy at the thought of her best friend being happy. Then she remembered her mum's letter. I'm leaving your father. I can stand him no longer. I guess it's just been boiling in my blood for a while now. *Boiling in my blood…boiling in my blood…* Lily can't get over that part. She and her mum were very alike. Both with bright red hair and green eyes. Some of Lily's older relatives even said that Lily was just like her mum when she was young. *Does this mean that I will one day leave James too?* Lily thought. No, she will not. She loves him…but how does she know that she will love him forever? Lily's mum used to always say that she loves her husband…and then she left him…*I don't want to hurt James…* Lily thought. Lily lingered on these thoughts for a while longer. At long last, Lily finally made up her mind. *I know what I must do* she thought. And then, Lily drifted off towards an unpleasant night.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*

The next day at breakfast, James noticed that Lily was behaving very strangely.

"Lily, are you okay?" he asked.

"Erm, I'm fine, James…" she said.

"Are you sure? Is there anything you want to talk about?"

"No…actually, yes. I need to talk to you, James."

"Okay, let's go outside."

So James finished up his breakfast and went out to his backyard with Lily. They sat down on a bench.

"So what's on your mind?" James asked.

"James…I…I…" Lily doesn't know how to begin.

"You…?"

"I…I think it will be best for the both of us if we…we…"

"No…no, Lily. Stop. I don't want to here this." James knew where this was going. He got up from the bench and start walking around the yard,

"James! Just listen, okay?" Lily ran up to him and put both of her hands on his arms, not letting him move. "I think it'll be best if…if we stop seeing each other."

"Why?" James asked, angry and confused. "Why, Lily? What's wrong? Whatever it is, I'm sure we can work through it together!"

"No, James…no…" Lily turned around, trying not to let James see her tears.

James spun her around forcefully and hugged her tight. "What's wrong, Lily? Why won't you tell me what's wrong??"

"Nothing's wrong, James!" Lily said, pushing herself out of his grip.

"Can you at least tell me why you're breaking up with me?!" James was practically yelling now.

"Because, James…because I don't love you anymore…" Lily hated saying this. But it's for James' own good, she reminded herself.

"Yes, you do, Lily! I know you do! Tell me the real reason!"

"That is the real reason, James…I don't love you anymore, James…I don't…but we can remain friends. I'm going to stay here for the rest of the months to keep Bella company, but please, James, please don't make it hard on me." Then, Lily ran tearfully inside the house, ignoring the questions from Bella and the rest of the Marauders, and up her room, hugging her pillow and crying hard into it.

Back outside, James couldn't believe what he just heard. Lily doesn't love him anymore? After all they've been through? *No…she still loves me…* he thought. *She knows she does…and I do too…I am not going to give up on her…* Then he went back inside.

"James? Is everything all right between you and Lily?" Remus asked. "I just saw her running upstairs crying."

"And she won't tell us what's wrong," Sirius added.

"She broke up with me," James answered bitterly.

"She WHAT??" cried everybody in the room.

"She broke up with me," James replied.

"Why?" Bella asked.

"I don't know. She said she doesn't love me anymore."

"I'm going to talk to her," Bella said, disappeared upstairs.

"Are you okay?" Remus asked James.

"Perfectly fine," he said sarcastically.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Lily?" Bella knocked on the door.

"Come in," Lily said, wiping away her tears.

"Lily, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine," Lily said.

"Then why are you crying?" Bella asked, noticing her friend's red eyes.

"I-I wasn't crying…I had something in my eye…"

"Right…" Bella said, totally unconvinced. "Why did you break up with James?"

"Because…because I don't love him anymore."

"You're lying."

"I'm not."

"I know you, Lily. You're my best friend. I can tell when you're lying. You're no good at it."

"Whatever."

"So why did you really break up with James?"

"I told you, I don't love him anymore."

"Lily, come on! I'm your best friend! You can tell me."

"I'm telling the truth."

"Okay, Lily. If you don't want to tell me what's bugging you, then that's fine with me. See you later."

Lily hated lying to Bella. But she knew Bella wouldn't understand. She'll just have to go through this alone.
