Chapter 22! Yay, two more chapters in one day.

Chapter Twenty-two - The Break up

I immediately felt guilty. I don't know why, just the feeling that James thought I was cheating on him with my healer broke my heart into pieces. I couldn't imagine what he was going through.

"Well, Ms. Evans, I believe you are ready to leave. Now, you might experience some chest pains if you're under too much stress. If you ever have them, make sure to calm down immediately or we might have some complications. Actually, let's just avoid the whole stress issue. Alright?" The healer asked with a small smile.

I snorted at the whole 'stress issue'. When I got home there would be a lot of explaining and somehow I didn't think James would be calm about everything.

I nodded my head, standing up as he left the room. I grabbed my clothes that had been brought in by James the day before. I changed into the clean clothes and the handed my papers to a nurse who bustled in and out without even looking at me.

I took a deep breath and then apparated home.

I frowned as I landed in my kitchen. The last place I had seen before being kidnapped only three days ago. I shook the thoughts from my head and walked into my room. It looked the same, a little dirty...but the same room.

I sunk onto my bed, not ready to confront James yet. I felt like I could cry, but the tears wouldn't come. I was all cried out.

I grabbed a pillow and pulled it to me, hugging it to my chest. I felt alone, for the first time in a long time.

I heard footsteps and I looked up, thinking it was James. It was Abbey.

"Abbey!" I exclaimed, my eyes widening in surprise and relief.

"What are you doing home?" I asked as she walked across the room and sat next to me on my bed.

She shrugged and my smile faded a little.

"Still not talking, hon?" I asked and she nodded her head slowly.

"Aw...Well you need to soon. We're all going to go crazy without your voice twenty-four/seven." I whined and she smiled, sticking her tongue out at me, playfully.

Well at least she was the same person...just without the noise.

She tilted her head to the side, watching me curiously as I looked out my window, sadly. I wondered if James wanted to break up with me...probably, seeing as he thought I kissed another guy.

"I'm really messed up." I told Abbey and she frowned, shaking her head 'no'.

"Yeah, I think James wants to break up with me." I told her, with a sad smile. Abbey held her hand up to her mouth, like she gasped, but no noise came out.

"I know, right. It's kinda funny, I reject him for years...then I finally give him a chance and I fall in love with him. Then he rejects me." I said with a small laugh. A tear trailed down my cheek as I spoke to Abbey. She tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear and pulled me into a hug.

"I just don't want him to leave me." I said, sniffling and Abbey nodded her head softly, with gentle, comforting pats on the back.

"Thanks." I said after I finished crying. Abbey just nodded with a small smile before motioning she was going to get something for me to drink. She walked out of my room and I heard a small noise of surprise.

I jumped up from my bed and hurried over to the door where I saw James and Abbey staring at each other. James was looking at Abbey curiously, wondering when she had gotten out of St. Mungos but Abbey was glaring daggers at James.

"Abbey-" Smack!

I gasped as I watched Abbey slap James on the cheek. Hard. Oops, I forgot to mention why James wanted to break up with me.

James winced from the slap and took a step away from Abbey, looking at her like she was insane.

"Abbey!" I whispered, catching the attention of Abbey and unfortunately James as well.

They both looked at me and I blushed, walking out into the living room towards Abbey. I grabbed her arm and pulled her into the kitchen.

She watched me curiously as I fidgeted under her blue eyes.

"James wants to break up with me because he thinks I kissed my healer. But I didn't." I whispered and her mouth went into the shape of an 'O'. She looked towards the living room and then back at me, wincing.

I watched as she walked back into the living room, walking towards James, who backed away afraid of another slap.

Instead she mouthed the word sorry and walked back to her room.

I took a deep breath, heading for my room as well.

"Lily!" James called out, I could tell his voice was angry and hurt.

I turned around, afraid my voice would betray me.

"I think you know why I'm here." He said in a dangerously calm tone. I opened my mouth to speak but he shook his head. Damn him.

"I saw it happen Lily. I know you were mad at me, but kissing another man...your healer?! How could you do that?" I opened my mouth again to tell him I hadn't done that but he shook his head again, signalling he wasn't finished lecturing me.

"I told you I loved you and I actually cared about you Lily and this is how you repay me? You cheat on me? Was this the first time or have you done this before? Was the 'I love you's you told me just not true? Cause' I want to know, Lily, I really do." James said angrily, watching me with a calculating stare.

"I didn't cheat on you, James." I told him quietly, looking up to meet his eyes.

"But if you can't trust me enough to believe me then I suggest you get out." I said sadly, pointing to the door. This was his decisioin. He could either trust me or not believe me.

Instead he just stood where he was, not even looking at the door.

"What am I supposed to believe Lily? I walk in and he's leaning over you and your smiling. What do you expect me to think?" He asked coldly and again I merely pointed to the door.

"If you don't believe me then get out." I told him again, this time with a slightly louder tone of voice.

"Fine." James said, heading towards the door. I felt a few tears trickle down my face but I didn't move. I watched the love of my life walk out on me.

I fell to the floor and felt my chest seize up. For some reason I couldn't breathe. Oh my god, the healer, he told me chest pains were bad...This is bad.

"James!" I exclaimed, clutching my chest. I couldn't get air and I was getting dizzy.

"Lily!?" I heard Abbey behind me. She spoke. Too bad I couldn't be happy for her, because I passed out a second later.

Doo Doo Doo....-sings to 3 doors down song- I love my reviewers...
