A/N: Doo doo doo! Who is she with? Well DUH! As if you don't know. Oh, this chapter is going to be pretty short, but starting from the next one, I'm turning a new leaf and will try to write much longer chapters to keep my readers satisfied. I hope you will all enjoy this chapter, and will all enjoy my longer chapters that start next time. Well, to those of you who really, truly have no clue who she is now locked in the Room of Requirement with, on with chapter twelve to enlighten you're minds. So, TA DA!

CHAPTER TWELVE

She narrowed her eyes dangerously until they were dark emerald slits.

'What – the – fuck – are – you – doing – in – here?' she hissed at the dark outline of the boy sitting on an armchair in the corner. 'Did you plan this?' she demanded hotly.

She glanced around the room, skimming the various objects placed around it. She noticed it was dark with a slightly sullen feel. The room was cast in shadows except for a small pool of light in one corner. In this pool of light sat two over-stuffed beige armchairs and a varnished wooden coffee table between them. Sitting on the table was a small flagon of butterbeer and two plates of biscuits.

'No Lily. Sirius and your darling Kayla planned this. Not me. I had no idea I would be locked in a room, least of all with you,' came the voices reply in a drone as if they had planned and practiced what they were going to say to her when she arrived.

She glared at him with her arms crossed over her chest before turning back to he door and lowering her arms to her sides, clenching her small hands into fists. A loud breath could be heard being sucked in.

'LET ME OUT OF HERE KAYLA LOLITA BAGNOLD, OR I'LL TURN YOU INTO THE SPITTING IMAGE OF YOU'RE MOTHER!' Lily roared at the door, pausing in her rambling only to draw in another deep breath. 'HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME! HOW DARE YOU LOCK ME IN THIS ROOM WITH JAMES WILLIAM POTTER!! HE'S THE BANE OF THE PLANET, A LYING, CHEATING, SLIMY SCUMBAG! I DESPISE HIM AND THE VERY AIR HE BREATHES AND NOW I'M LOCKED IN A FUCKING ROOM WITH THIS GIT THANKS TO YOU!' She paused once again to suck in a breath and was caught off guard when a hand covered her mouth tightly and forced her into defeated silence. She licked the hand and he pulled away briefly to wipe his hand on his robes.

'KAYL-' Lily started, before – once again – the hand was over her mouth, preventing any further screaming on her part. She folded her arms again and glared at the door.

'Lily!' came Kayla's slightly muffled voice from the other side of the closed door.

'What?' called James, his hand still covering Lily's mouth.

'What did you do to Lily, Potter?' came her muffled voice once again. 'Did you knock her out?'

She heard Lily's scream of rage and then a pounding as something was slammed into the door. This was closely followed by strong cursing from James.

'Kayla, she just threw a wooden chair at me! You're seriously going to make me stay locked up in the room with her? She's menta-'

'Don't you call me mental!' came Lily's aggravated screech.

'KAYLA!' James roared.

'You can't come out!'

'Why the fuck not?' came Lily's voice.

'You can't come out until you and James have sorted out everything! We're – that is to say, Sirius, Peter, Remus, Laura, Diane and I – sick of the hostility between you two! You are both so unhappy and melancholic, it's contagious. We're all becoming depressed because you two won't bloody talk! Because the two of you are moping around, it's making your friends unhappy. Just sort out your crap!'

Lily sighed in frustration and let out a primal scream so that James winced and shoved his fingers in his ears.

'Merlin's beard!' he thought. 'Is she trying to bring down the castle? If she keeps going she's going to succeed!'

Lily stopped screaming and shook herself lightly, as if trying to gain feeling in her body again.

'Let's get this over with Potter! I'd rather not spend too much time in your presence; it proves hazardous to mine and your health and education,' she snarled.

James rolled his eyes and walked back over to the cushy armchairs and sat down. He cocked an eyebrow at her and crossed his arms over his chest, slouching down into the chair slightly.

Lily perched herself daintily on the edge of the armchair and rested her hands on her knees, which were pressed together tightly.

'Merlin, Lily, when did you become such a... such a...'

'Such a what?'

'Such a prude?' he asked disbelievingly.

His eyes skimmed over her clothing. Bell-bottom black jeans with a chunky black belt, a button up three quarter sleeve yellow shirt with a dark denim jacket over. A long rainbow scarf was tied loosely around her neck, making sure even that was covered. Every inch of her body was covered except for her hands and her face.

'Yesterday,' she replied crispy, icily. 'I caught you staring at my arse in DADA and decided I had to do something to make myself less appealing. I decided I should stop wearing such provocative clothing, that way you might keep your eyes from roaming.'

James once again cocked his eyebrow at her curiously and sighed exasperatedly.

'Lily,' he began. 'For someone so smart you sure are stupid. Don't you realize that I can still check our your arse in those pants? And any pants you will ever put on? The only think that can stop me is by wearing a completely shapeless dress that's so loose it doesn't show off anything. Although... maybe that's the point. We did think this was going to be a party, did we not?' He continued, not waiting for her answer. 'So, it'd be possible if you were trying to get guys to check out your arse. Perhaps... perhaps you're ready for another boyfriend?'

'Maybe I am, Potter, what's it to you?'

'Oh, you mean apart from the fact that I love you?' he asked quietly.

'You don't love me!' she burst out angrily. 'If you did, you wouldn't have gone off with all those bitches in the holidays! If you loved me, it wouldn't have mattered how many letters I didn't get or reply to! You would have waited!'

'So you agree I sent them?' he asked tentatively.

'Of course I agree you sent them! We both say we sent owls, and so far I have no reason to believe you were lying about that. But it does raise an interesting question...' she said pensively, more to herself than to James. 'We both sent each other owls, and neither of us received even one of those owls. Isn't it curious that out of the... let's say, one hundred owls sent, none of them were received? I mean, it's obvious to even the stupidest person that those owls are being intercepted. Someone didn't want us to be in contact, possibly even together at all, and so they were going to any lengths to keep us apart. Well I should applaud them, it did work how they wanted it to.'

'So, why are we still fighting?' he asked softly.

'Because, Potter. You still cheated on me, you still didn't wait for a reason as to why I wasn't replying. You made assumptions and acted on them. In the end, you're assumption was wrong, and now it's cost you a relationship with me,' she held up her hand to prevent him from talking because he had opened his mouth to protest. 'Let me finish, please James?' she asked softly. 'You could have waited, but you chose not to. I still love you, I really do. But I can't be with you James, I can't.'

'Why not?' he asked weakly. 'Lily... I need you.'

'I can't be with you because I don't trust you. How do I know you won't do something similar if something like this happens again, and whose to say it won't happen again? If I can't trust you, this won't work anyway.'

'Lily, I wo-' James began.

'I don't know that. You don't know that. No one knows that it won't happen again. You know why? Because you can't predict the future. I don't want to be hurt again. I felt like I was going to die when I got those photos, James. It hurt me so badly, like I've never felt before. Besides... I can't be with you... I already agreed that I would go out with Tom, Tom Franklin.'

A/N: Am I evil? I am evil. Okay, so who saw that coming? Everyone? Good. I hope this story doesn't become dull and predictable completely though, coz then it'd be boring and just plain suck. Who likes predictable? Gotta keep my readers on their toes! That's the only way to keep getting reviews.

I am so so sorry I haven't updated in ages. It can't really be helped! I've been swamped by those evil assessments... three more, Chemistry which is due tomorrow, Religion which I have two weeks to do and Biology which is a three part thing. Geez, I'm going to be a busy busy girl. And THEN I have to start studying for exams. So, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter.

I'm sorry to all the people who were rooting for James and Lily to finally get back together, but I really wanted for them to not be together yet. Anyway, I hope to load Chapter Thirteen in a day or two.

Love,
