James was sitting on a bench in the park when the sun rose, he had spent the rest of the night walking round the park, just thinking things over in his head.

'Man! I don't get this, twenty four hours ago my life was fine, and now it's all messed up!" James thought and he got up off the bench and headed back to the Hotel.

'Just think like she isn't there!" James thought, as he knew he would see Lily at some stage of the day.

James got to the entrance of the Hotel and all the memories of last night came flooding back to him, Lily telling him she loved him, them kissing, it was all to much for him to take, he couldn't stand it any longer, he ran into the Hotel ignoring everyone who waved at him or said 'good morning' to him, he ran up the stairs and into his room and laid on his bed and sighed in frustration.

Lily woke up only after having an hour and a half sleep, her eyes were still red and puffy and she looked really ill, Michelle was in the kitchen making a drink with her wand when she saw Lily walk out of her bedroom.

"Hi Lils, Honey you don' look to good, do you wanna go to work today, if you don't I'll cover for you it's no problem" Michelle said, her heart aching seeing her best friend look this way.

"No it's ok, I'll go in, and I've got to face it some day haven't I?" Lily said with a sad smile.

"Ok" Michelle said simply.

"How was Bryan last night?" Lily asked.

"He was great, no problem at all, he's really a great kid," Michelle said and Lily nodded her head.

"I know, he's fantastic, is he up yet?" Lily asked looking around.

"He woke up about thirty minutes ago, he's in his room" Michelle said and Lily walked to Bryan's room, and opened the door and saw Bryan sitting on his bed playing with miniature toys of a Quidditch pitch.

"Hi Bry" Lily said walking into the room and Bryan put the little broom down and walked over to Lily.

"Hi Lils, Shell told me what happened, are you ok?" Bryan asked concerned.

"I'm fine, I just wanted to see you before I go to work" Lily said.

"You're going to work?" Bryan said shocked.

"Yeah why shouldn't I, I've got to go back someday, so why not now" Lily said convincingly.

"Ok if that's what you want, I'll talk to you later," Bryan said.

"So are you gonna come to the Hotel later with Michelle?" Lily asked.

"Yeah, I asked Michelle earlier and she said I could" Bryan said.

"Ok" Lily said hugged her cousin for the last time and went towards the door.

"Lily I'm sorry" Bryan said and Lily turned back round to Bryan who was now sitting on the edge of his bed.

"What do you mean?" Lily asked.

"This is my entire fault, I shouldn't have asked James if I could walk Padfoot, I'm the one who started all this off" Bryan said guiltily.

"No, it's not your fault, don't blame yourself, you just asked me if you could go for a walk, I'm the idiot for lying to him in the first place, if I had told him the truth at the beginning I wouldn't be here, so it's not your fault" Lily said.

"Are you sure?" Bryan asked looking down at the floor and Lily walked up to him and lifted his chin up so he was looking at her.

"Positive" Lily said and smiled warmly at Bryan and gave him a hug and kissed him on the head.

"I'll see you later" Lily said getting up and walking to the door. 

"Wicked" Bryan said just before Lily walked out of the door and went to have a wash, get changed, say goodbye to Michelle and then apperate to work.

There was a knock on James' door and he got up off his bed and went to answer it, when he opened it he was Sirius sanding there leaning on the doorframe.

"Can we talk?" Sirius asked and walked into the room.

"I guess, what about?" James said.

"Oh like you don't know!" Sirius said.

"Huh?" James asked clueless.

"Guess who I ran into last night?" Sirius asked.

"Um Snape?" James said.

"Well yeah but after that" Sirius said.

"Wait you seen Snape?" James asked.

"DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT!" Sirius yelled.

"Ok" James said still not getting it.

"Well let's think; she has sparkling red hair and gorgeous green eyes, oh and you just happened to kiss last night and leave her broken hearted!" Sirius said and James stood opened mouthed.

"You seen Lily?" James asked.

"Yeah, spilling her heart out in a store room, how could you be so insensitive?" Sirius asked James.

"Me insensitive!" James said and Sirius looked at him weirdly.

"If you're referring to me, I'd never ever kiss a girl and then leave her ten seconds afterwards!" Sirius shouted.

"I didn't know what else to do!" James said and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"You could have said 'I love you to Lily, lets get married and have lots of kids and let Sirius be Godfather!'" Sirius said.

"Sirius be sensible, this is a really serious matter!" James said and put his head in his hands.

"Ok, maybe I was trying to get a little bit of a laugh out of you from the Godfather bit, but I do believe you love Lily" Sirius said taking the matter seriously.

"But I don't love Li…" James said but Sirius cut him off.

"Don't even finish that sentence, cause I know you love her, I could tell when you came back from the park with her the first day you met her, you fell in love with her!" Sirius said.

"That noticeable huh?" James said.

"Yeah! Look go and talk to Lily, I've just spoke to Shell though the fire and she said that Lily's in work today, and your floor is her first stop" Sirius said.

"I can't Sirius, I can't talk to her!" James said.

"Why not?" Sirius asked.

"Because she lied to me Sirius, and I just can't love someone who'd do that!" James said.

"But you already do! You know you love her," Sirius said.

"I know I do but it just can't go any further!" James said.

"Do you not see it?" Sirius asked sitting down next to James.

"See what?" James asked.

"How perfect you are for each other, now I say that you should just talk to her, because you really belong with each other, ask anyone who's seen you together" Sirius said.

"Really?" James asked.

"Really, I'm gonna go and find Remus and tell him that I've found you and that your safe and haven't thrown yourself off a building!" Sirius said getting up and moving to the door.

"Padfoot" James said also getting up.

"Yeah?" Sirius asked turning round to face James.

"Thanks man, you're a really great friend," James said.

"You to. James when you get Lily, don't let her go, for anything" Sirius said and walked out of the door.

"I wont" James said to himself and went into the bathroom

Lily got into work and got on her apron and trolley, Amy and en weren't in because they had the morning off and were coming in after Lily's dinner break, her first floor was the 24th floor, James' floor.

"Ok I can do this" Lily said walking down the hallway off the 24th floor and stopping in front of the Garden Suite and sighed and opened the door to find James Potter standing right in front of her…

"Can we talk?"
