----------------------------------
Lily was sure she was going to regret getting married, but not for the same reason I refused to get married. Oh, no. It turns out that Lily Camille Evans, who had been planning her wedding since before I met her, had suddenly turned commitment-phobic. She was planning the perfect wedding, and then she thought about the honeymoon. Then I suppose that she realized that she would be spending the rest of her life with James. All I know is, she showed up at the flat I shared with Maranda in the middle of the night, sobbing. It took forever just to get her calmed down enough to talk well enough so that we could understand her. Finally we figured out that she didn't want to spend the rest of her life with one person.
It hurt. Let me tell you, it was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. I had to convince her to get married. Yes, me, Mikah Taylor, trying to convince someone to get married during the war. I couldn't believe that I was actually trying to get her to get married. I totally had to ignore the voice inside my head. The same nasty little voice that had almost convinced Maranda not to get engaged. And I regretted it for ages afterward. I was sure it was me who had sent Lily to her demise. I was sure that James would get killed and she would take up with some total jerk, and I would have to get her out of that. But now, I know it was for the best. Even though they died, I still know one thing. If they hadn't gotten married, Harry wouldn't have been born. Voldemort would have never attacked their house and tried to kill him. And where would the world be now?

A/N I didn't like that chapter. Oh well anyhoooooo……….pretty please review (puppy dog eyes).
Thank you to:
Zingara- THANK YOU!!!!! At least you are sensitive. When my friends read it, they were like that's not sad. Amber was evil." She wasn't totally evil. She just fell in love, and couldn't stand being on the opposite side of her husband/lover/boyfriend/whatever.
Maggy Aethelwynsdottir- thank you for all your reviews. You are like my biggest fan.
