{oh yeah, I don't own anything in here except the story plot! =)}

Lily walked through the hall, thinking about James. She was shocked to find out how much she really cared for him when before she wanted James himself out of sight.

It was bothering her through her first calss which was Transfiguration.

Professor McGonagall seemd to have noticed that she wasn't concentrating on her work and walked over to her. "Miss Evans, is there something wrong?" she asked calmly.

James and Remus looked up. Peter and Sirius didn't even bother to. They were slightly sparring at each other.

Lily stammered out. "No, Professor..." she managed to say.

She could hear Sverus snicker behind her. When she looked up, she found James didn't even bother to defend her like he usually did. She somehow missed him.

[Everytime I try to fly, I fall]

"Shut it, Severus!" she tried to defend herself.

Severus just kept on snickering. "What are you gonna do, hex me? No Potter to defend you now, mudblood Evans." He knew that without James, Lily was somehow helpless.

It made Lily nervous when other Slytherins joined in the laughter, but it didn't seem to move James at all.

"Mr. Sanpe, stop that snickering or I'll fail you in my subject. Remember that you are in your fifth year and O.W.L.'s!"

Severus stopped, but Lily knew that wasn't going to completely stop him.

Sirius looked at James and scowled. "Aren't you gonna protect your precious Lily?" he asked. He himself was a lot bewildered for he knew that James had always fancied Lily and would do anything to get her attention.

James snorted. "Let her defend herself, she could do it on her own. She ain't needing any help. Now come on, Padfoot, we need to get this done." He didn't even bother look at Lily.

Lily felt a little hurt insde, but wasn't about to show James that she cared when he didn't seem to care about her anymore.

Professor McGonagall dissmissed them with a warning. "I will tolerate no teasing of anyone for the day!" she warned before she let them go.

[without my wings I feel so small]

But right after they had left the classroom, the Slytherins crowded near Lily. "Hey Evans, What have you done to Potter?" One asked.

Lily didn't answer and quickly walked to the common room. But even if she was headed there, the Slytherins still teased her along the way.

"Did our little miss prefect get into a fight with nasty Potter?" asked Severus, smirking.

Lily could feel tears welling up her eyes. She was helpless when James wasn't there to kid around.

She quickly muttered the password and went into the common room. Before she knew it, hot tears had fallen down her cheeks. Her heart sank as well.

"Why was I so stupid? Potter...Potter he was always there when..." Then it struck her. "He was always there when I thought I needed him. But I always told him I could do it on my own. I-I guess..."

[I guess I need you baby]

A/N: It wasn't that long, but I tried to make it a little longer than the other chapters. I hope you like it and plz r/r. =)
