~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
She read, 'Hey. Its me again. I don't know when I've screwed up more! I feel as if my whole life is a failure, just as dad said.' "Just as DAD SAID?" Lily thought to herself. "What??" She continued to read.
' I really miss her. She was a true friend. But everyone knows that you can't turn back time. I just wish I could've known that before everything happened.'
Lily stopped reading.. this was wrong.she couldn't disturb James's private journal entries.could she?
A voice awoke from inside her, "Why can't you? Its not like.he's your.FRIEND.or anything is it?"
'It doesn't matter whether we're friends or not, you can't go around doing that to people. Its just not right.' She told the voice.
"Yet what he did to you was?" It replied. Lily could practically hear it grinning. She ignored it and put the diary in her bag.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Oh Jamsie boy!" Sirius bounded through the door.
James looked up from the book he was reading on his bed. "Seriously Padfoot, you sound like you just got the best Christmas present in all of Gryffindor!"
Sirius nodded, "Its even better than that! Its just the thing to cheer you up!"
James laughed, "What could that be??"
Sirius handed a small black and green book to James. James gave him a quizzical look and opened it. It read,
Dear Diary,
I guess when my problem started I didn't have a way of getting my feelings out so Melanie bought me this.
James stopped reading and looked at Sirius, "What the heck is this?"
Sirius got a serious look (a/n: hahaha ( sarcasm), " Do you even KNOW why she's mad? Why this whole thing started? Or why you still think of her as your best friend? You have to read it.no its not her original.it's a duplicate.but the only reason I would EVER do anything like this is because I know that you two have to resolve your problems." Sirius turned around and left leaving James alone in the room with Lily's diary.
"He actually said something smart! Oh my god, it's a miracle!" James muttered to himself. He opened the journal to a random page.
August 30,
I had the dream again. You know, the one with James and me?? It means something I know it does.but what??? I haven't seen him all summer; I guess I kind of miss him. who knows? I wonder if we'll ever be friends again. Yeah I know it's a stupid thought. I mean he's THE James potter..hottest guy in school kind of thing. and me? Lily Evans..official member of the nerd club.the boys in France were wrong..Jean..David..all of them.I'm not gorgeous.I'm a weirdo. Well who knows, right? Maybe this year will be different! Petunia seems to think that.oh well..
James blinked back tears.whether they were of joy or sadness he didn't know.. She still wanted to be friends? Or did she hate him with a passion. Did he think of her as a nerd or weirdo?
All the questions were unanswered. He was too afraid to answer them and find out his true feelings. He felt sick to his stomach.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So Lily.." Lila started. "Are you feeling better?"
Lily nodded as she packed for the trip. She took out a long black dress and put it into her suitcase.
Melanie smiled at her. "Good. This trip will be a good thing for you Lily. Getting away from school and work will definitely be an improvement."
Lily laughed, "Oh really? Thanks for making me feel good you guys. This trip really means a lot to me. I'm glad you guys are coming."
Lila answered, "Us too Lils. Us too."
~*~*~~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"COME ON!!!!!" Lily yelled to the others. "We're going to miss the train!" They ran to catch the train just as it pulled out of the station. They went into their compartments and fell into the chairs.
"Ughhh I hate the waiting!" Melanie complained.
"Oh shut up.you just miss Remus." Lila teased. Melanie made a face at Lila and Lila stuck her tongue out at her. Lily burst into giggles.
Eventually the train pulled into the station a couple hours later with a hysterical Lily and a very p**sed off Melanie. Lila came bouncing out right after them looking very content indeed.
"Let's get moving you guys. We still have to catch a cab!" Lily yelled at the other two. Melanie made a face and Lila muttered things in Spanish.
Lily laughed and grabbed her bag. The girls had only brought a suitcase and a handbag between them so luggage was light. (a/n: A girl's definition of "light" packing.) The three of them made their way to the parking lot to find a cab.
They reached Lily's house at a quarter to seven, completely famished. Suddenly the doorbell rang. Lily suddenly felt scared, what if it was .Voldemort? The doorbell rang again and this time there were voices to be heard too.
"Lily! Open up!!!"
Lily breathed out the air that she had been holding. She went over to the door and opened it.
"Sirius what the heck are you doing here? Hello Remus."
She turned to see James was with them. "Hallo James." She didn't smile when she said this but James took it as a good sign that they were at least on first-name terms now. "Hey Lemon." He said using his nickname for her. Lily gave him a death glare, which he ignored. She invited them in and they followed her into the kitchen.
"You never answered my question, WHAT are you doing here?" Lily asked again.
"We're here for the funeral. Dumbledore told us to go." Remus replied, Sirius and James feverently nodding their heads.
Lily sighed. "Alright if Dumbledore said so then I guess its alright with me. Wait a second. Where are you three planning to stay?"
Looking at their smiling faces Lily got her answer, "Oh no you don't! You CAN'T stay here!"
"Why not?" Sirius whined making puppy dog eyes.
"Its.ugh.just.ugh.because.ugh." Lily tried to make an excuse to kick the guys out but failed miserably.
"Miss Evans, I deem that you have no reason to throw us out onto the street! So you have to let us stay!" James proudly stated.
Lily made a face at him.
Remus laughed, "Plus, you wouldn't want us to freeze to death outside would you??"
"Hmm, not a bad idea." Lily pondered out loud. She giggled seeing the horrified looks on the guys' faces. "Fine fine. I'll let you stay. Under one condition."
"WHAT?!?!" the three exclaimed at once. "You.. Must. Obey. Everything..I SAY!" Lily said slowly.
"Ughhhhh" Sirius moaned. "How I hate doing that!"
'Then I guess you must leave." Lily said, "Oh what a pity.."
"You are NOT getting rid of us THAT quickly. WE agree to your rules." James shot back giving Sirius a look. Sirius ignored it and asked, "So, what's for dinner?"
Lily laughed. "Ok you guys. Just for today we'll order some pizza ok?"
"Great!" James called after her as she went towards the phone.
Just then Lila and Melanie, who were upstairs getting settled in and changed into their pjs, came downstairs. They walked into the kitchen and practically screamed. Of course they weren't expecting the three hottest guys in school at Lily's house right now when they were in their pajamas! Melanie looked embarrassed. She was wearing a yellow halter with silver stars on it with matching shorts. Lila was wearing a flannel shirt that went down to her knees.
As soon as Lily got off the phone Lila and Melanie greeted her with glares. Lily looked at them and the boys' open mouths and burst into peals of laughter.
A/n: there ya go! No cliffy either! Hahah hope you liked it..not much happened but next chappie's a biggie with the funeral and all..=( its going to be a hard chapter to write. Oh and those of you who were dying to know what was written in Lily's Diary will find out..I'm not done with them yet! Plus Lily still has revenge left to give to James! Now review if you want to know what happens..Please??
