A/N: Hello again. I totally like how everyone reviews. Haha sorry I'm a bitch.

Three of the Chapters

James had been trying to get in touch with Lily since that night she had shown up at his house. To his dismay she was no were to be found. He found out where she lived now from her best friend Bridget.

When he went to her house for a moment he thought she was home due to the curtains moving but it was only a cat.

He needed to apologize about all the stuff he had said because he was angry. James felt like everything was going in reverse. They had come so far since school. Lily would actually look at him, not to mention she wanted him back.

As much as he was kicking himself, James wanted her back to. He missed her more than he could say. Lily was apart of him. Ever since they started talking back in school. She knew everything, if not more than even Sirius did. It wasn't that she knew everything about him. It was that, he knew everything about her too. She had told him stuff that she hasn't let anyone know to this day. James knew it for a fact.

They were one and when she was away from him it was like half of him was gone. James wasn't sure what to do.

Months had past and Lily and James had become the ideal couple for everyone. All of the girls would say to her how she was so lucky to have James. And what they would do to have a boyfriend like that.

Lily had become popular among the girls in her year. Which was nice to have people to talk to and asked if you she looked good in this outfit or ask for notes in various subjects.

But in some ways it made her sad to think they only reason she had all these friends was because of James and his friends. They had talked to her and everyone was just following in their way.

What would happen when she and James weren't together?

Lily walked down the corridor to the Gryffindor tower. She and James didn't really have any plans to hang out tonight but she wanted to see him. Lily liked to hang out with him and his friends. They were a lot more fun than anyone else.

She came through the portrait hole to find a common room empty of the Maurders. Lily thought she'd sneak up to their dorm to see if they were up there.

Knocking on their door then stepping in Lily found James and his dorm mates lounging around.

"Hey guys mind if sit with you guys?" Lily said her head peaking through the crack of the door.

"Sure Lily. Come in, sit down!" Almost shouted Sirius. She came in and sat down on James trunk next to him. "Have a drink." He said handing her a mason jar.

She gave a weak smile and sipped it. Just as she thought they were well on their way to getting drunk. These boys were well known for their drunken behavior amongst the student body. But, not too many people knew just how often they did this.

Now that Lily was thinking about it. No one really knew them at all. The only thing people saw of them were these great guys who made jokes and had fun all the time. But in reality they were troublesome and had horrible problems in their lives. The Maurders were just very good at covering emotions.

"Thanks." She said taking a bigger sip the next time.

Remus looked at her and said, "Your so not the person I thought you were. For like five years you prance around this school, little miss know it all. To good to talk to anyone or you were too much of a geek for anyone to talk to you. I don't know. Then one day you're my friend. This person who's really just like the rest of us. Well us." He said referring to the people in the room. "You're just looking for something to hide behind. Wait I've gotten off topic." He said shaking his had, now silent.

"I think what Remus is trying to say. Is that, well, I thought you were just this girl who followed the rules. I would have never thought that Lily Evans would sit in my dorm drinking fir whiskey with me. So bad." Sirius said moving his arms around splashing liquid all over.

Lily feeling more and more awkward, having them talk about her like that as though she wasn't around, she started to drink more, faster.

Lily arrived home late on a Wednesday. Her stay at the beach house she had inherited from her family was nice. She needed to go any way to clean it up. No one had stayed there in years. As all the children got older the very close family spent less and less time together.

Sighing as she sat down. Lily started to think of James. The situation she'd been trying to forget. Suddenly her phone rang. It was Lily's best friend Bridget. They'd been friends from the womb.

She wanted Lily to come out with her to a bar. Lily agreed and got up to get ready. She realized she needed to move on from him, no matter how much it hurt.

At ten o'clock Bridget and Lily arrived at the bar Bridget had told Lily about on the phone. They were having a great time meeting new people when something...or some one caught Lily's eye.

James was sitting at a table by him self. Almost passed out. Lily walked over to him. It was fate. They were supposed to be together. He would not have been there if it weren't so.

"James." She said. He looked up at her.

"Lily. I've been looking for you every where."

She gave her famous weak smile. "Come on James I'll take you home." James took the hand she put out and they walked out into the street.

"Why is it so hard for us to be together? Oh I know, because we're both fucking crazy. But I forgive you Lily. That's all you want right? My forgiveness." He almost said bitterly.

Lily sighed. "James I want so much more than that."

"You always have. Always wanted something better. Never satisfied."

She was getting angry. "Yes well you have always been a terrible drunk."

James laughed. "Lily Evans telling me I'm a terrible drunk. Have you forgotten how much you drink? Or how many pills you take? Or what about all the drugs? You aren't so innocent. If I remember correctly you're the one who introduced me to them."

Why did he always have to be right? "Shut up James." She said.

"Let me ask you what is your drug of choice these days?"

"You don't know anything about that. Just shut your mouth."

"No tell me. Shall I try it? Is it a good one?"

"Why are you ruining this?" Lily cried to him stopping in her tracks. "I'm trying to be nice. I'm trying to be with you again. Can't you see that? I don't want to sit here and talk about our problems. Give ourselves another reason to fight. Another reason to be unhappy. Just be with me. You and I both know thats the only time we're truely happy. Just stop being bitter."

They reached his door and he turned to her. Looking down in guilt. He said, "You want to come in." Lily nodded.

Maybe they could work it out and would be happy together.

"So anyway, my dad took my sister and I to France. It was so wonderful." Lily told her dorm mates after leaving James' dorm. "He bought me these great shoes and loads of other stuff. It was so great. My dad he's the best"

Lily showed them all the stuff she'd gotten on her summer vacation. All the girls oooo'ed and aaaaa'ed over it. She talked about other things her father had done for her over her break before everyone went to bed.
