Chapter 4: The Party

"Sometimes I just want to kill him." Bree said taking a brush out of her purse and brushing her hair, "Yet sometimes I just want to kiss him."

"Understandable." Lily shrugged, trying to fix her eyeliner.

"I wish he wouldn't act like that." She said handing Lily the brush and letting her brush her hair.

"At least he isn't a control freak like James is." Lily gave the brush back to Bree and she put it away.

"That's different." She replied going into a stall.

"How?" Lily asked going into another.

"I dunno." Bree said once she was out of the stall.

"See it's the same." Lily replied as they washed their hands.

"Whatever," Bree sighed, "Kyle doesn't like me anyways and I love Sirius so no big deal."

"Okay." Lily said exiting the bathroom.

"How was your random conversation in the bathroom?" Sirius asked when Bree and Lily sat down.

"Fine." She replied rolling her eyes.

"I'm sorry." Sirius stated, "You know, bout the Kyle thing."

"It's okay." Bree replied kissing Sirius.

"We're still in public." Lily said rolling her eyes.

"If I was kissing you in public, I bet you wont mind." James smirked at her.

"I have a boyfriend." She replied.

"Oh yea." James replied, "What was his name again? Jake? Justin? Jerk-face?"

"Jacque." Lily said.

"Right, Jacque." He replied, "So how is he?"

"Wonderful." She said, "He's in America right now."

"Really," he stated, "Your not afraid of him being kidnapped and killed there?" he asked the idea Sirius proposed earlier popping into his mind.

"Now why would something like that happen?" Lily asked awkwardly.

"Just curious." He shrugged.

"Look," Sirius said breaking up the conversation, "The foods here."

Sirius smirked and out of the corner of his eye saw Bree pull her shirt up more.

"Thanks." She replied not making eye contact with him.

"No problem." He smiled, "Catch you guys later."

Lily, James, Bree, and Sirius all enjoyed their evening that night. They caught up after not seeing each other (mainly Lily and James) for a long time. They had even planned a party at Sirius and James' in a couple of weeks.

After everyone's stomach was full they realized it was time to go. They left the restaurant, where Sirius left a small tip saying that he deserves it after 'looking down Bree's shirt', and walked down the street to their cars.

"Well, I guess I'll see you soon." James said to Lily as Sirius and Bree were saying good bye.

"Yeah," she nodded, "Maybe we could hang out sometimes." She suggested, "You know, as friends."

"That would be great." He smiled widely.

"Well, night."

"Night." He replied kissing her on the cheek and hugging her.

"Bye." Bree said giving James a hug.

"Owl me." Sirius waved as Bree and Lily got in their car and drove away.

They waved their hands out the window and were soon out of site.

"Lily! Let's go the party starts in ten minutes!" Bree yelled, banging on the bathroom door.

"I'm almost done, jeez." She shouted threw the door, "Besides, it only takes a minute to apparate there anyway."

Bree and Lily were getting ready for the party that James and Sirius were having at their apartment. They had spoken a few weeks earlier about it and immediately called a bunch of old, and new, friends.

"I promised Sirius we would be there a few minutes early." She replied going into her room to get her purse.

"I'm done!" Lily said coming out of the bathroom.

"Well, don't you look beautiful? Not trying to impress anyone are we?" Bree asked raising her eyebrow.

"Nope." Lily said spinning around to display her outfit. She was wearing a jean mini skirt with a black off sleeve shirt, "You look awesome too, you dork."

"I know." She replied running her hands threw her straight brown hair. Bree was wearing a black Suede skirt with a white sweater and boots.

"Come on, let's go." Lily said rolling her eyes and grabbing her purse.

"Oh by the way." Bree said before Lily could apparate, "We have to apparate into James' room so just think about being in his room."

"You're sick." She replied giggling.

"But I'm serious." She replied, "See you there."

With a pop both women disappeared from their apartment and found themselves in another room.

"I see you got here okay." Bree replied straightening her hair, "Are you sure you haven't been here before?"

"I think I hear the doorbell." Lily said changing the subject as she left the room.

"Bree! Lily!" Sirius called, "Glad you could make it."

"Good to see you too Sirius." Lily said setting her purse down.

"Now, everyone should be here soon." He said, "Food and drinks are in the kitchen and I'll start some loud music soon."

"Great." Bree said putting her purse next to Lily's.

"Where is James?" Bree asked.

"He's getting more drinks." Sirius grinned.

"You're nutters." Lily said sitting down on the couch.

"You just get ready to party." Sirius replied.

There was a knock at the door and Ashley, Remus, Peter, Katie, and Michelle all entered.

"Let's party!" Sirius said going over to the stereo and turning it up very loud.

People kept coming and the music kept getting louder. Although, everyone seemed to be having a great time. Everyone was ecstatic to see all their old friends.

Lily was sitting on the couch talking to some old Hufflepuff students when she felt her cell phone vibrate. She immediately picked it up, but couldn't hear the person on the other line very well. (A/N: I know Lily is a witch and they don't have cell phones, but remember that she is muggle born and she can own one lol.)

Lily quickly went into the bathroom and redialed the number.

"Hello?" Lily heard the familiar voice on the other end of the line.

"Jacque!" she replied happily, "How are you?"

"Fine, you?"

"Great. I'm at Sirius and James' place and they're having a huge party with a bunch of our old friends." She said sitting down on the counter.

"Sound fun." Jacque stated.

"Yeah it's nice to see everyone again." She sighed, "So what's up?

"Well, I guess I should just get this out." Jacque stated.

"What is it?" Lily asked worriedly.

"Well, the thing is Lily." Jacque started, "It's been great dating you and everything. But, I think we should split up."

Lily felt as if her heart had stopped beating.

"Lily? Lily, are you there?"

"Yeah." Lily said, her voice sounding a bit weak.

"I'm really sorry, Lily." He stated, "But we can still be friends right?"

"Is there someone else?" she asked suddenly.

"What?"

"Did you dump me for someone else?" she repeated.

"Well, you see-"

"Just forget it, Jacque." Lily stated, not wanting to hear what type of blonde-haired beauty was replacing her, "Good bye."

"Lily," Jacque said, "Can we please still be friends? You're such an amazing person and I'd hate to loose you."

"No, Jacque." Lily stated, "I don't think we can. Good bye. It's been fun."

She closed her phone and ran her hands threw her hair.

"I'm not going to cry." She said out loud as she put her phone back in her pocket, "Definitely not going to cry."

Lily banged her head against the door, "I'm gonna cry."

Before she knew it, tears were shooting down her cheeks and there was nothing she could do about it. Lily felt stupid for crying but she couldn't help to feel that she wasn't good enough for him.

"This is crazy." She said, trying to convince herself, "I don't need him. I'm better off without him. And right now, I'm going to have a good time."

Lily re-fixed her make up and brushed her hands threw her hair. But, she still left the bathroom still feeling terrible.

Lily was always true to her morals, and that included, not getting drunk. But the night seemed like a blur for Lily and the drinks kept coming. She had only gotten extremely drunk once before and that was when she went out with Bree, Sirius, and James. To this day she still blames them for that and she will never admit it out loud, but she did have fun.

She never meant to get drunk, nor did she plan on it.  It just sort of…happened. But the thought of Jacque breaking up with her kept popping into her mind and the only way to get rid of it, was to get another drink. Which Lily was doing a pretty good job at.

Bree and Lily were having a very hilarious conversation. They were laughing very hard as they headed towards the kitchen to get another drink.

They made their way threw the crowded apartment to the fridge, where they were still laughing loudly.

"Hey." James said coming up behind Lily.

"Hey." She replied grabbing a fire whiskey and cracking it open and handed one to Bree.

"How are you?" James asked looking at Lily closely.

"Fine." She stumbled to a chair.

"Lily." James sighed loudly, "You're drunk."

"I am not." She replied gulping down her drink.

"Yes you are." James replied, "Come on and lie down."

"No." she replied laughing at Bree.

"I'm going to go find Sir–hic—ius." Bree replied catching her balance on the counter.

"Bye." Lily said laughing again.

Bree left the kitchen and that left only Lily, James, and a bunch of other people in the kitchen.

"Lily, I think you've had enough." James said grabbing Lily's drink.

"Give –hic- it backs to me now, Potter." She said standing up, but only to fall back down in her chair.

"No." James stated. He walked over to the sink and spilled the fire whisky down the drain.

"James that wasn't funny." She said, trying to sound serious.

"I can't let you get drunk, Lily." He smiled.

"You let me get drunk before." She glared, "Besides, I'm a big girl and if I wanna get drunk, I'm sure as hell going to get drunk. And you're not getting in my way."

Lily stood up, but clutched her head, "Ow, the music is loud."

She walked over to the fridge and grabbed another drink. James walked over and took it out of her hands.

"James!" she yelled, trying to sound angry over the loud music.

"Lily." He replied calmly.

"Ugh!" she said stomping her foot, "I can't stand this!"

She headed out the front door and down the hallway.

"Where are you going?" James asked following her. The hallway was much quieter, since the apartment had a sound-proof charm on it.

"Stay away from me." She said storming away. Lily couldn't understand why she was snapping at James, when the person she was really mad at, was Jacque.

"Lily, what has gotten into you?" he asked.

"Nothing!" Lily said stopping, trying to hide the tears that were coming down her face.

"Lily, why are you crying?" he asked holding her arms.

"I'm not crying she leaned against the wall and slid down so she was sitting on the floor. She brought her knees up to her chest and hugged them.

James sat down next to her and tried to figure out what's wrong, "Lily, why are you so sad suddenly?"

Lily sobbed, "I'm so stupid."

"Lil-" James said, trying to object, but was interrupted by Lily.

"Yes, I am, James." She said not lifting her head, "Everyone told me Jacque was no good for me and I never listened."

"What are you talking about?"

Lily lifted her head up, her face was tear-stained and her make up was smeared. James felt his heart shatter.

"Jacque broke up with me." She said leaning her head against the wall, "He broke up with me for another girl."

"Oh, Lily." James sighed hugging her, "He's an arse."

Lily began to cry again as she hugged James back.

"He's not worth crying over, Lily. You're so much better than him."

Lily suddenly stopped crying, "You're right, James. I shouldn't cry over him."

She got up and dried her tears, "Thanks."

"No problem." He replied smiling, knowing that he made Lily feel better, "You don't have to go back to the party."

"No, I want to." Lily said heading back to the door, "I'm going to have fun…and no stupid old boyfriend is stopping me."

James smiled as Lily went back inside to finish her goal of getting tipsy. He couldn't help but feel happy that Jacque broke up with Lily, because now he can have his chance again.
