A/N: I know I know how many people read these things and yes I realize that I only have two real reviewers but do I care, no. This story is not going to end well by that mean it is going to be very traumatic but that won't be for a while. So enjoy!

Thanks to my reviewers: Miranda G. Potter (oh and if you hate him now well good luck with the rest of the story.) and Jackie (here is more but I know you won't read until Monday or something.

Chapter Four: Truth

Now Jamie what happen to you, you look really really pale?"

Lily had called him Jamie only his mum called him Jamie. He tried to get up put he didn't seem to have the strength to move. It must have been bad this time but he just didn't know anymore. His life was a tangled mess and no matter how much the five year old tried to strengthen it, it stayed the same.

James knew that he wasn't normal. A normal little boy would be creating mayhem. He had once been like that, but he could no longer recall what it was like. He wanted to know how to be free again. Could a friend help? Could the angel help?

"I'm fine angel," James sighed as he once again tried to move.

"No you're not you are still calling me angel," Lily protested.

"Sorry Lily," James muttered.

"Now what happen?" Lily questioned him.

"Nothing, nothing happen to me, but Lily can you help me up?" James said realizing that it was futile for him to try to get up one his own.

"Sure," Lily reached dawn and pulled his hand. With James's effort and Lily's tugging James finally managed to get to his feet.

"Thank you." It had been a long time since he had said those words to anyone. He barely talked anymore because of Tom. You might ask how his parents did not notice the change in their son. He was their first and only child and at first they had been extremely worried but then they talked to their parents who said it was just a phase.

Just a phase that would follow James for the next five years and to some degree the rest of his life. His parents then thought it would soon go away. They never did make the connection between Tom and James.

"I know something is wrong. Just tell me what it is." Lily demanded.

Fine it is your uncle, he does this spell to keep me quiet and it really hurts. And my parents don't believe me and I know you won't either but you are the closest thing I have ever had to a friend." James replied with the words coming out louder and faster as he went. He was close to tears, close but never reaching it, as he talked about having no friends.

"I believe you James and I will be your friend," and with that Lily hugged him. Lily didn't understand that this wasn't just a game. She didn't know that the spell he talked about was illegal. She didn't know that the words she had said changed her forever. Lily Evans didn't understand that she had just bound herself to James Potter forever. It was on that landing that had a little of James's blood soaking into the carpet, it was on that landing where James made his first friend.
