Chapter 7 - Fifth Year: In the rain
It was raining. A small red-headed girl lay alone in the middle of the path leading away from the school. She stared up into the sky and watched as the rain came pouring over her face, every drop was cold and full of a numbness that lifted away the thoughts of the boy that she wished for so badly.
Her thoughts became lost among the dark clouds that moved slowly cascading across a deep blue setting whispering with a million drops of rain. She must have laid there for an hour or two, lost in her thoughts, sopping wet so that there was no longer a trace of the tears she had previously wept. The rain felt like it was washing away all the things she hated about her self, and she could have sat there forever, letting it clean her of emotion. She felt like this time was time enough, and she sat up. She was not alone, she could feel the warmth of a presence behind her.
"About time," A voice called echoing though the rain drops and magnifying ten fold off the puddles. She turned around to see the face of a boy with soaked brown hair, messy from the rain. The boy that she had broken her heart over, the one she thought she loved, the one that knew that, and denied it even though he felt the same. "I was wondering if you were ok." he asked standing up, and walking over to her. She turned as to hide her face,she knew the last thing he need to see, was her crying over him.
"I'm fine" she said standing up and beginning to walk away. She could hear his footsteps echoing of the ground and splashing through puddles as he ran to catch up with her.
"Wait!" he begged, grabbing her arm and spinning her around revealing tear-filled, beautiful, but pained, green eyes. He could say nothing, just looking at her eyes made him realize that there was nothing he could say to make her better without hurting her later on. "I'm sorry. I-I can't, you know..."
She knew.
"Please leave me be." she needed to be alone in the rain again. To let it wash away every feeling, that it had taken, and just so quickly given back.
"What I mean is," he said walking around to face her, but she had been staring at her feet. "No matter how much it hurts us now-"
"Us?" she cut him off. "You do too, then?" he paused before nodding slowly. Tears formed in her eyes again as she stared off into the foggy distance, Barely lit by a half moon hidden in the clouds. "Why? Why then? If you love me too?"
"Because it'd get to complicated." he looked into her eyes and he knew that would break her heart, he couldn't do that, Especially if It hurt him that bad too...
"You know," he said with a hope-filled voice, lifting her chin so she was looking him in the eyes again, "I love you. Since the day I saw you I have." Her eyes so full of tears closed, and a smile played across her momentarily brightened face, that so quickly filled with tears and sobs as she wrapped her arms around him and cried.
"I guess it really could n't hurt ... if we were a bit more than just friends?" He said choosing his words extremely carefully. She let go of him. "I love you lily Evans, I've loved you since first year." he sighed and put his arms around her. "Do you still love me?."
"I love you so much." she said looking him deep in the eyes.
That moment of silence in the rain may have lasted forever, letting those last words hang in the air, clean with the feeling of rain. But it was a mere bleating glimpse of silence to her, no sound of rain falling, no cold winds coming though her soaked jacket, and no movement. The trees, the grass, the wind, all seemed to stop and watch as she pulled him into a kiss.
She felt happier than she Ever had in her entire life to date. A kiss like this one may never had existed before, with passion like fireworks and Love like wings, she knew that kiss marked a Love so deep...
