Chapter Five: The fifth chapter
Things are going great. I've been going out with Lily for three weeks now, and she seems to enjoy my company. Not just when we're with our friends, but when we're alone too. Just last weekend I took her for dinner in Hogsmead and she seemed to have a really good time.
Coming in from quiditch practice I saw her in the corner her friends normally hung out in. Only they weren't there. Only Lily, and her ex boyfriend? Whoa there, why the heck is she talking to him? Especially after the way he treated her.
Pushing the hair out of my eyes I walked over there and slid my arm around her waist. "Hello hunny. Poo-squirt," it was only polite to acknowledge his presence.
"The name's Stuart," he hissed at me in a very unnatractive sort of way. How Lily ever fell for this guy I'll never know.
"Whatever. Lils, what's up? We still on for dinner tonight?"
Lily looked at me with a look I learned too well over the years. It was the 'James-leave-me-the-hell-alone-or-I'll-kill-you' look. "Yes we're still on for dinner James. But do you mind I'm in the middle of a conversation."
"Oh Lily hunny, but I do mind. Why on earth are you talking to this scum? After he made a mockery of you infornt of the entire school? Now why would you be talking to him, your ex boyfriend."
"Its a matter that doesnt concern you James," she hissed at me.
"Oh but Lils, you're my girlfriend.So it does concern me."
This time Poo-squirt stepped up to the plate, "Listen Pot-head. Lily and I are having a conversation that is none of you're business so get lost. I have no intention of stealing you're slut of a girlfriend so back off and let her talk."
My temper got the better of me there I slugged him. And I slugged him hard. No one calls my girlfriend a slut, so I started beating on him, only to find Lily jump between us. "Lily back away, he deserves this after what he just called you."
"Its a name James it means nothing, now screw off I need to talk to Stu." That hurt. Here I was her boyfriend, beating up her former boyfriend, actually her boyfriend from almost two months ago, for calling her a slut, and she gets mad at me. Tells me to bugger off so that she can talk to the scum that isnt fit to wipe the dirt off her shoes.
"Fine. Here I was beginning to think we were becoming something Lily and you just pull this. I should have known you could never develope feelings for me. You're just heartless. Have no feelings, know no feelings, felt any feelings. You choose this scum bag over me. We're over." I got up and went to walk upstairs.
"James I'm not choosing him over you I'm just talking to him about something that I will talk to you about later."
I heard her. But I just kept walking. Right now, I didnt want to deal with her. She just freaked on me for defending her honour. Besides, why should I care, I was just an image to her anyway right? Well I thought I was becoming more but I guess I thought wrong. She'll always be Evans, and I'll always be Potter, the boy who flushed her gold fish.
**Flashback to first Year**
Kids were sitting around the common room during lunch hour. First years we were, we didnt really eat a lot so we mostly all just came back to the common room to get to know eachother. And this girl Lily, today she got a golfish in the mail. It was still in a bag of water since she hadnt cleaned the bowl yet, and she gave me the bag to hold while she was cleaning the bowl. Whilest they were all talking about the fish and such, it made me have to go to the bathroom. So I did, and I brought Goldie with me, yes how orginal a name. So I finish doing my business, and I flush. When an idea hits me. The flushed water goes down a pipe. A pipe is like a water slide (muggle thing) and if I flushed Goldie, she could experience the wickest wildest waterslide ever. So, I opened the bag. And poured Goldie in, and flush. One wicked ride comming right to Goldie. Then it hit me. How was I spose to get Goldie back? Uh oh. Lily was going to kill me.
**End Flashback**
The next morning left something to be desired. Probably because my stomach was killing me since I skipped dinner not wanting to see Lily. That and I woke up to see her starring at me.
"What are you doing in here?"
"I came to talk to you. You never let me explain yesterday. I'm not with Stu. Nor will I ever be again. And I wasnt choosing him over you. I just had to talk to him about something. Something important."
"So important you cant even talk to you're boyfriend about it? Didnt think he'd mind comming second to you're ex. The fact that he insulted you, I stood up for you and you defended him."
"I needed to talk to him James."
"Well, Evans you can talk to him all you want now cant you. Now that you dont have a boyfriend to get in the way."
"James please.."
Not listening I just grabbed my clothes and walked into the bathroom. I did not want to have to listen to her plead, especially since after five minutes of it I would probably just go running back to her. I was hopeless. The only way to prevent any of that, was to avoid her. So I turned on the shower to drown out her banging and yelling at the door.
When I came out of my bathroom dressed for the day I expected to find her gone. Instead I found her in a heap beside the door crying. Come on, even I wasnt that insensitive. "Lily, stop crying. Just go. Ok. You got what you wanted, I'm leaving you alone and no longer blackmailing you into dating me. Now just go."
There came a muffled and weak voice from her, "No."
"Lily..."
"Not until you listen to me."
"Fine but that doesnt change anything."
"Oh but it does. It changes everything," she said picking up her head, "You better sit down for this." Obeying I sat. "When Stu and I broke up there were somethings I didnt tell anyone. And I found this out just a couple days ago, James I'm pregnant with Stu's baby."
AN: ahh to be mean and leave it here or not? hmmmm...
"You're what?!" This was crazy. My girlfriend, well ex if you consider I technically broke up with her last night.
"When I was with him, hes a very controlling guy, well we..we were sexually active. And I'm guessing one of the times I was with him, right before he blew it off with me, the condom could have torn, because I'm pregnant now. I missed my period last month. And I got worried when it didnt come this month, so I took a test. And its positive. But I had to tell him before I could you, since its his, and I was going to tell you over dinner. I'm so confused. I dont want a baby,not yet any way. And Stu is being a jerk about it, and you broke up with me. And now i'm alone and ..so scared."
She started crying and I had to step in there. I got up and went to her and pulled her in my arms. Great. Just great. She and Poo-squirt had sex. And now they are parents. Where do I come in? Shes gonna want to keep it even if she doesnt want kids right now. And that means shes gonna have to get with Stu to raise it, even he would stop acting like him after she started to show, and that leaves them as a little family and me gone. But hey its what I wanted anyway right? I've been trying to break it off since I found her and him talking together.
"James please dont leave me. If you do I'll be alone in this whole thing. And I dont want to have a baby by myself."
"Lily you could get an abortion."
"I could never kill an innocent child because of my mistakes. Please, say you'll stay with me and help me raise my child."
I looked into her eyes, big mistake, and saw how much this meant to her. A lot. But could I do that? Become a father figure before I even finish school? "Lily, can you give me some time to think about that. I mean thats a lot, and I mean a lot of responsiblility. I'm not saying I wont, I'm just saying give me some time to think this through."
She nodded and left my room. Oh boy I was in for it now. What am I going to do?
