On Top of It All

Chapter 2

************************

Another day I'd feel my heart crumble. I really didn't feel like waking up. The moment I wake up, I know I have to put on my act again. Nobody should know my feelings for Lily especially my fellow Marauders. I know Peter would just shrug it off but then there's Remus and Sirius. I know Remus would give me advices but it would just make me feel worse thinking that Sirius also feels the same way I do. Next is Sirius. The thing is I don't know how he would react. I'm not exactly sure if he has feelings for Lily but it's good to be on the safe side. Besides, he's the one that could make Lily happy.

**************************

"Good morning!" Lily greeted James cheerfully while she came down and plopped on the chair in the Common Room where he sat.

James was about to greet her but then Sirius came down groggily.

"Good morning, Si!" Lily said and flashed him her million dollar smile that made James heart melt.

*************************

If only that smile was meant for me but no. It was for Sirius, only for him.

*************************

"Good morning to you too, Lady Lillian," Sirius said making Lily giggle, "and to you too, Jamesie old pal."

James groaned and glared at him.

*************************

Oh! How I hate that nickname.

*************************

"Do you really have to call me that?" James asked irritably.

"Of course! I just know how you hated that name." Sirius said merrily.

"Geez, Sirius. If you knew I hated that then why do you keep on calling me that?" James asked curiously.

*************************

I waited for what Sirius was going to say. I glanced on Lily's side and saw her looking at him curiously. To think, I'm not really sure if she's looking at him waiting for the answer or she just love to gaze at his face.

With my thoughts, I felt something painful in my heart. I knew what it meant. I prepared myself knowing that I would always feel that way.

*************************

Sirius shrugged and said, "That's the point, Jamesie!" He said making James glared at him again.

"Well, I'm off now. I'm going to the Great Hall to eat!" Sirius said trying to run away from James. "See you later folks!"

Sirius said and walked away leaving James and Lily alone in the Common Room.

*************************

How I wish I could kiss her right now. But I know it wouldn't be right. I've made up my mind. If that's what's going to make her happy, then I'll do it. I'll help them even if it stings here in my heart.
