Title: Life's a Bitch
Chapter 9: Blinded By Denial and a lot of Pain!
~In Lily's Training Room w/ Fettie~
When Lily had finished telling Fettie what had happened in the library and in the Forbidden Forest, Fettie laughed. Lily stared at her best friend confused, "What? What's so funny about my story?"
Fettie took a deep breath to stop her from laughing but it didn't work, she continued to laugh harder than ever. Lily rolled her eyes and went to the bathroom to get ready to go to sleep it was almost 1:30 in the morning.
When Lily came out Fettie had finally stopped laughing. "Ok Ms. Laugh-My- Ass-Off-At-My-Best-Friends-Story, now do you want to tell me what was so funny?"
Fettie sighed and inquired, "Lily, I know that your personal life is really.hard for you to deal with. I think that if you tell more than one person, *hem hem* me. Maybe you'll feel better, don't you think so? I mean, look you and I have been best friends ever since we were born and you've been friends with the Marauders since first year and yeah maybe they haven't been your friends as long as I have but I think you should at least tell one of them; like James or Remus for instance."
"Fettie we've been through this a thousand times. No I won't tell them because I just don't feel like they should know everything about my personal life. They know enough as it is. They already know that I'm adopted and that my mom died. They just don't know why and what my dad does to me and they don't need to know. Plus I'm not going to talk to James or any of the Marauders. And why would I tell Remus about my personal life? Just because you like him doesn't mean that I should tell him. You're supposed to be the one telling him your personal life!"
"I said Remus because he's really trustworthy and he won't tell the others. But if you don't want to say anything it's your choice I won't bug you about it anymore."
"Thank you."
"Yeah, sure I have to get ready to go to the bathroom now. So if you'll excuse me I will go."
Lily rolled her eyes and laughed. Fettie can make serious moment not seem so serious anymore.
~Library~
Over the next few weeks, James and Lily didn't speak to each other even though James had tried so many times that their isn't even a number for how many times he tried.
Lily and Fettie have a big test coming up and they are in the library studying for it. Lily groaned, "God, why does McGonagall always have to give us these written tests and then have up transfigure something?!"
Fettie sighed and put down the muggle comic book she was reading and said, "Why do you bother studying when you know that you're going to pass it with like a 110 points?"
"I do not always get a 110 points! God James just give up already. I'm not going to give you!" Lily shouted at the letter she had just found in her book earning her a glare from the librarian.
Fettie sighed again, "Come on Lily, he's apologizing to you over and over. Why do you have to be so stubborn?!" Fettie groaned in frustration.
"Fettie, I just can't. I don't want to be friends with him again if all his going to do is ask me about my personal life."
Fettie closed her eyes and clenched her jaws tightly together and counted to ten to herself. When she was done, she looked at Lily and changed the subject. "There's another battle next week."
"What! When did you find out about this?"
"Um.. A couple of weeks ago."
"And you didn't tell me! Urh Fettie we haven't been training like we used to. We can't lose this!"
"Relax Blabber Flower, we're going to win. We always do."
Lily glared at Fettie, got up, grabbed her stuff and went to train. "Hey what about studying?" Fettie hollered after her, quickly grabbing her backpack, as she had not unpacked anything except for her comic to read, and following Lily.
"Like you said, I always get 110 points anyways. Why should I study when I already know all the answers?" Lily yelled over her shoulders.
Fettie smirked and ran up to her, "I finally knocked some sense into you didn't I?"
Lily laughed, "Yeah sure."
"Where are you going anyways?"
"We have to go train."
"Oh- what 'we'? Do you mean you?"
"No I mean 'we'."
"But I don't need to train. I'm fit."
"Yeah, but it's fun and I just want to make sure that if we battle someone new next week, we'll be ready."
"Whatever you say Blabber Flower, whatever you say."
~Battle~
The battle tonight was going to be early, but it might not end early. It starts at 9:30 tonight and Fettie and Lily have to fly deep into the Forbidden Forest where the Battles are going to be held tonight.
"So are you nervous?" Lily asked Fettie. They were in Fettie's training room tonight. Sitting and waiting until it was time to go. They already had all their belongings packed up. They had to bring sparring gear, a good sword and dagger, and they needed to bring their mouth piece. As they found out that tonight they were not going to battle but let Bruce see how they trained with out him. That's why it started so early tonight.
"Nope, why should I? You're the one whose supposed to do all the worrying while I tell you the usual, 'Lily relax, you and I are like the best fighters there; who can beat us.' So on and so forth, then you start to agree with me and buy me a big, big, big ice cream sundae."
Lily looked over at Fettie confused, "I don't remember ever doing that for you."
"I know, I just added that little bit to lighten the moment. It's so tense right now."
Lily glared at Fettie a moment while Fettie just looked up to the ceiling innocently. Lily laughed, like I said before, Fettie has a way of making a very serious moment not seem so serious anymore.
Lily looked at her watch and gasped, "Damn Fettie, we have to go its 9:00."
"No we don't, the thing starts at 9:30."
"Yeah, but we have to fly really deep into the forest tonight and it's going to take a while to get there."
"Fine let's go."
Lily and Fettie grabbed their stuff and headed out. When they got to the edge of the forest, they both put their bags to their mouths and transformed. They flew for a while until they saw a spot in the forest where there were no trees. They landed there and transformed back. When they did Bruce came out and greeted them.
When the rest of the students got there they began to train.
~The Next Day~
Buzz, Buzz, Buzz. Lily groaned and turned off the alarm clock. She laid there for a while and then got up but immediately lying back down. She was in a lot of pain because last night she had trained with Bruce and he didn't cut her any slack, he actually tried harder then he usually did.
When he was done she was breathless and he scolded her for being so weak and not training hard enough, and then he flipped her on her back. "You have forgotten that you should never put your guard down until you're out of the ring Evans!" He shouted at her.
Lily groaned again remembering last night. She took a deep breath, sat up straight even though it hurt like hell, got up and got ready for classes today. When she was done she woke Fettie up.
Fettie went to get ready as Lily lied back down on her bed for a little rest, her other roommates had already gone down to the Great Hall for breakfast.
Lily and Fettie went down to the Great Hall at breakfast and headed for class.
~Third Person~
God she's beautiful, and wait is she in pain. He thought as he watched her sit down flinching. I wonder, what is the matter with her back.
Just then a 'brilliant' thought came to him. Yes, and better yet I'll make it look like some one else did it, then I'll come to her rescue then we will be together. Fabulous!
