Lily woke up in the middle of the night, panting. Her friend looked at her, horror-stricken. Lily clamed down a bit.

"I'm sorry if I scared you, Janie," she whispered.

Her friend just smiled at her. "Everyone heard what you were muttering, Lily. You are liking James Potter, aren't you?" she said.

Lily frowned and crossed her arms. "No I'm not!" she said deffensivly.

Janie lied back down on her bed. "Whatever you say Lily! Just don't wake me up worrying about you again!" She pulled up her sheets.

Lily lied back down on her bed and stared up the ceiling. Was she really....falling for James?!

The next day was like the rest of her days really. She kept throwing a glance at James, but he never seem to notice it anymnore when before he makes a big fuss out of an accidental look.

"You alone again, Evans?" snickered a Slytherin girl from behind her.

Lily tried not to listen, but without James to help her drown th teases, tears would well up her eyes.

"Eavns, Potter not here to protect you?" asked another Slytherin and giggled pass her.

Lily stood there, dazed. As if the world was turning on her now. Why wasn't james here anymore?

When she walked into potions class, a lot of Slytherins were whispering in low voices. She smiled a little when she heard him.

"Ah Padfoot, you made the right choice!" It was James' voice.

Sirius smirked. "Course I did, Parongs! I'm not stupid! What do you think of it, Wormtail?" he asked.

Peter plainly shrugged. Remus peered at the cualdron and laughed a little.

James looked up as saw Lily. "What?" he asked.

Lily turned red. "Is it wrong to look?" she asked, trying to sound irritable.

James sighed and rolled his eyes. "Girls!" he muttered.

Lily tried to get up all her courage into a ball to talk to James. "Potter, c-can I t-talk to you?" she asked.

James looked at her. "What, did you ever want to talk to me?" he asked coldly.

Lily felt hurt and angry. "I hate you, Potter!" she yelled and went to her cauldron as their professor came in.

As she brewed her cauldorn, her eyes never left James.

[I make believe, That you are here]

Somehow, she felt the way she had been making James feel before.

All that day, the best she could do was try to imagine that James was still there, making his jokes and making her giggle a bit.

It was the only thing that kept her sane. She didn't know what was really going on within her.

When the Marauders passed by her way, Peter pointed at Lily. "Look Prongs, it's Evans!" he said.

James nodded. "I noticed." was all his reply.

Lily ran to the bathroom and sobbed. What did I do to make everything like this?

She regreted those days now. Those days when she turned James down when he used to like her.

It hurts. Now she knows it hurts.
