My tears dropped as I stood on the ledge of the Astronomy Tower. Recalling all my memories, I couldn't believe what happened. My life lay before me; choose despair in life or choose happiness in death.
Suddenly, I was sent back to the times of our friendship. Running, I laughed as I saw James clumsily running to me. "LILY! GIVE ME BACK MY HOMEWORK! OR ELSE!!" he screamed. Ignoring him, I ran into the Quiddich Pitch.
I ran though the stands; up and down on the thousands of stairs. When I thought I could never run any longer, I was tackled to the floor. Uncontrollable laughter consumed my body as James hit a tickling jinx at my back. Grabbing his homework, we collapsed in laughter. Times like this was when I truly felt happy.
Before long, I was sent into another memory. I was crying over the death of my parents in my room. I was screaming myself hoarse, hating the Death Eaters that killed them. I knew I never felt such emotional pain in my life and I knew that I didn't know if I could survive living without my parents.
I saw messy hair first, then chocolate eyes. James was holding me, while I was sobbing into his chest. He was whispering comforting words into my ear, and telling me that life would be okay. I wouldn't eat or sleep. I knew that my parents wouldn't want me to live like this, but my parents was the world to me. Then, I fell asleep in his arms with my tears running down my face.
Pain filled my body as Malfoy towered over me hitting me with the Crutatius Curse. I screamed praying that someone would rescue me. I was blabbering nonsense, and I thought I was going insane from the extreme pain. My blood was caked all over the floor. I was trying to get up from the floor, to be strong.
He was calmly saying that, "It'll all be over Evans if you join the Dark Lord. Just say that you will and it'll all be over." I was sobbing hysterically, and than pain. Pain like I'd never felt before rampaged through my body. Darkness filled my eyes, and I didn't resist it.
I was crying as I ran to the stairs leading to the Astronomy Tower. People were glaring and whispering as I passed. Tears from my eyes slid to the cold floor as I screamed to the raw night, "WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS? WHY DIDN'T THEY LISTEN? IT'S NOT MY FAULT! THEY'RE ALL LIES! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE HER? SHE'S THE ONE WHO WANTED THE POPULARITY!"
I turned around and saw them all. They were smirking and the one I thought would never turn against me said, "Why can't you just admit the truth Evans? You know that you were just using us. I can't believe you use us this way. Stop denying the truth."
I wanted to fly away. I wanted to get away from their glares. I ran down the stairs, tears slowly sliding down my face. I could never trust again, knowing that my best friends betrayed me like this.
The letter stood in front of me. I was shaking with anguish at her note.
It's all your fault our whole family died. You and your stupid world. First Mom and Dad had to be killed by freaks like you, then they killed all Aunt Rose and her family. We have no more family. If you didn't have to exsist, they wouldn't have died. You don't exist to me anymore. You're no longer my sister. Vernon and I are quite happy living together and if you dare bother us, I will personally hunt you down. I don't care about your freak magic or anything. You killed our family. Get out of my life forever.

I was trying to hide my tears. I no longer had a family to return to. My greatest friends had abandoned me. My life was useless. I was facing the burned-out fireplace with my cheeks soaked in water. I didn't care about anything anymore. All I wanted to do was to forget that this note ever exsisted. I crumpled it into a ball and dropped threw it into the fireplace. My legs raced to the room and I fell into my bed, sobbing hysterically. I knew that they were the ones who found the note.
One of them dug the note out of the coals, as I ran to my room. His facial expression didn't change and he brought it up to his room. I knew that I would get hell for this. And I did. The next day, the note was posted throughout the school.
They were all smirking at me. But he didn't.
I found myself back on the Astronomy Tower. I was sitting on the ledge. Then he came. I saw him climb onto the ledge. And then he slipped.
I grabbed his hand. He looked up at me and said, "I'm sorry" in the faintest of whispers. I gripped him with all my strength. But I couldn't.
We were both sliding. He was falling and so was I.
