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

To ronandhermione4ever: Thank you. Your review was quite flattering.

To tali: Lol. Glad you found it funny.

To Brittny: Lol. Were you a bit hyper when you wrote that? Lol.

To Aarien Star: I saw that movie already. It rocks. Became one of my favorites. I'm sure you'll love it. Orlando Bloom is so hot and you gotta love Johnny Depp.

To Hermione101888: Wow. Okay, I don't want to spoil anything, but I must say, wow.

To e!i : No, not this chapter. James and Lily are really special. They're the couple that this fic is supposed to be mainly about. So I'm saving theirs for…well, I don't want to say it now. You'll see…you'll see.

Sorry I didn't get this up sooner. I had fallen ill. And I'm also sorry the last few chapters were a bit depressing. I had to get it in there though. For *ahem* a few reasons. *Grins* Okay, okay. I'm not really good at being mysterious.

Chapter 34

* Lily and James were eating dinner together. Suddenly, James took out a bunch of papers and threw it in front of Lily.

"What's this?" she asked.

"Sign it," James said.

"What is it?"

"Divorce papers. Sign it."

"We're separating? Why?"

"This marriage was a mistake."

"No…no. James, please don't. I love you. Didn't you say you'd always love me? What happened?"

"Sometimes always doesn't last forever, Lily."

Sometimes always doesn't last forever…Sometimes always doesn't last forever…*

Lily woke up, panting slightly. She wiped the sweat that were hanging on her forehead with the back of her hand. That dream was horrible. She did not want that to happen between her and James. Lily hugged the blanket tightly. Wait. Blanket? Where did…? James… Does that mean he…? Lily sat up and the pillow fell out from behind her. Picking it up, Lily noticed that it wasn't hers. It was James's. But why…why did she have his pillow? Pushing these thoughts and questions aside, Lily quickly showered, dressed, and left for work. She didn't bother making breakfast. Today was James's day off, so he'd be sleeping really late. He could order something for lunch by then.

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

Indeed, James did sleep late that day. It was around noon by the time he woke up. James decided that he was going to make it up to Lily today. He quickly ate whatever he found around the house. Then he started cleaning and afterward, went out to buy some stuff.

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

Lily came home that night to find the house very clean and filled with lilies. It smelled wonderful. Lily felt as tough she had apparated inside a garden. She hung up her coat and then walked into a dimly lit kitchen. The table was very nicely set, with candles and everything.

"James?" Lily called. This was all very strange. Even though she's angry with James, she didn't want anything to happen to him (a/n: duh).

James came out of the bathroom wearing a lopsided apron.

"What's going on?" Lily asked.

James just smiled and took her hand.

"Let go, James," Lily said, trying to free herself.

James continued to smile and did not let her go. He dragged her to the couch and sat her down.

"James, what is going on?"

James took Lily's hands and held it to his chest. "Lily, just listen to me, okay? First of all, I am sorry for the stupid fight we had. It was my fault. I should've just clean up. I shouldn't have made those stupid sexist comments. I'm sorry for being stubborn. Forgive me?"

Lily looked at James's sincere eyes. She looked away. "You said you didn't care. That hurt, James, it really did. We…we said when we got married that we would always care for each other. I still care about you, James. I care about you a lot. But…but hearing that you don't…just…it just hurts…"

"Lily, I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said. I was really angry at the time. That was the stupidest thing I've ever said, Lily. Believe me. I care about you a lot. I care about you more than anything or anyone. You mean the world to me, Lily. I love you. But you know what? This stupid fight…it had me realize something. When we got married, I thought that this marriage would be perfect…that we would never bicker over anything. But after this fight…I realized that no marriage is perfect, Lily. But that's okay. Because I love you. We can make this marriage work. And it doesn't matter that we have little arguments sometimes, because we'll always be there for each other. I'm always here for you, Lily. I love you."

"I love you too, James," Lily whispered. "And to level with you, the fight wasn't completely your fault. I was being stubborn too. I don't know why I was…but I'm sorry for it." James gave her a warm hug and they smiled at each other.

"Come on," James said, taking her hand. "Let's eat. I cooked."

"You did?" Lily raised an eyebrow. "All by yourself?"

"Yep. C'mon. Let's try it."

"Oh, James. Wait. Before we do, I have a question. Well, two actually."

"Okay, shoot."

"Why did I have your pillow?"

"Oh. Well, yours was wet, and I didn't want you to be uncomfortable. So I switched yours with mines."

"Oh. And why did I have the blanket?"

"Because I didn't want you to get cold. Because I care."

Lily kissed him. "Thank you."

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

Meanwhile, Remus was eating dinner with Sirius and Bella. Well, at least they were. Remus was just playing with his food.

"What's wrong, Moony?" Sirius asked.

"I miss Lorie," he said, sighing.

"Don't you always?" Bella slapped Sirius upside his head. "Ow!"

"Don't be so insensitive!" she scolded. She turned to Remus. "Remus, I think you are very sweet for thinking of Lorie. I know she thinks about you too. I mean, you guys write everyday, right?"

"Yes, but it's not the same. There're certain things you just can't…can't express through letters."

"What you means, is that you can't kiss through letters," Sirius said, grinning.

"Shut up, Sirius," Bella said.

"What? It's true."

"Yes, but I'm sure that's not all his misses about Lorie. Anyways, why don't you just take a couple of days off to visit her?"

"I guess," Remus said uncertainly. "But things at work has been really busy."

"Don't worry about it, Moony," Sirius said. "James and I can cover for you."

"Okay, thanks. I'll consider it."

A/N: I'm sorry. I know this chapter is weak too. Oh well. Please review anyways.

By the way, here's a poem I found that I thought really fits in the Lily/James fight thing. It's great. I don't know who wrote it though.

Never say "I love you"

If you really don't care

Never talk about feelings

If they aren't really there

Never hold my hand

If your gonna break my heart

Never say you're going to

If you're not gonna start

Never look into my eyes

If all you do is lie

Never say hello

If you really mean good-bye

If you really mean forever

Then say you will try

Never say forever

'Cause forever makes me cry
