Chapter 2—Please, tell me it's not true

Lily woke up with a splitting headache, and the room she was in didn't help. Everything was bright and white. She had 2 windows on her wall, one leading outside and the other into a white hall. I'm in a hospital, Lily realized, the accident! Jacob! Is he okay? She started panicking. Before she could get far, though, her mother came rushing in and gave her a gentle but firm hug. She could tell her mom had been crying.

"Oh, baby, how are you?" Her mother said, tucking a strand of hair behind Lily's ear.

"I have a headache." She said, leaning back on her pillow. She noticed a bandage around her left arm where IV was dripping in. Although she couldn't see it, there were bruises on her face and some on her arms, which she could see. There were also scratches under her right eye, and she could feel their pain.

"Mom? What happened?" Lily asked her mom quietly.

"Oh, honey, I don't know. We just got a call saying you and your brother were hit by a drunk driver. You've been unconscious for three days.

"How's Jacob?" She asked worriedly. Her mother sadly shook her head and began crying again. Lily felt a lump form in her throat and her head starting hurting worse.

"Please, tell me it's not true." Lily croaked out. Her mother didn't meet her eyes. Lily groaned as her eyes began welling up with tears. She didn't want to cry, it hurt to cry. Her head was pounding worse than ever, it felt as though she was in with a cement brick. The room starting spinning and the last thing she remembered was her mother calling, "Lily!"

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

"What month is it?" The doctor asked. If Lily passed the test, then she could go home. She opened her mouth to speak but couldn't.

"Why can't my daughter speak?" Her father cried.

"Lily, what month is it?" The doctor asked again, ignoring her father's remark.

"August." She said quietly.

"Right. How old are you?" He continued.

"S-sixteen." Lily told him.

"Okay, you're alright. Be sure to take your medicine and you're on bed rest for two days." The doctor informed her. She nodded, even though it hurt to.

"Thank you, Dr. Wyman." Her mother said before he walked out. Lily's dad helped her off the bed and carefully supported her all the way out to the car. Lily closed her eyes the whole way home, afraid of the road. She didn't want to be in a car again. The car turned and pulled in her driveway. She got out and stood in front of the huge house, but didn't go in.

"C'mon, Lily, it's alright." Her mother said softly.

"No, it's not." Lily said firmly.

"Sweetheart, you need to rest in bed." Her father added. Lily slowly stepped inside. Everything seemed to remind her of Jacob. Her dad carried her up the long stairs and gently placed her on her bed. He pulled up the covers and gave her a kiss on the forehead before walking out. Lily heard him slowly close Jacob's door and Lily felt a pang in her heart. She fell into a fitful sleep.

She saw a pair of headlights coming close.

"Jacob! Look out!" She heard herself cry out. Jacob turned the steering wheel away but it was too late. The car rammed right into them just after they screamed.

Lily woke up, sweating and scared. She dreamed of the accident again. Tears began to flood her eyes. Soon her face was wet and she sobbed out loud. Outside she heard kids laughing and playing, with no care in the world. Lily remembered all the time she played like that, outside with Jacob, when they were little. He was the one who taught her to ride a bike. She remembered how sad she was when he was accepted into Hogwarts and she didn't see him for a long time.

She stopped thinking of Jacob, as it only made her cry harder. She finally stopped, just as a soft knock was heard on her door.

"Lily?" She heard Shelley's voice say softly.

"Come in, Shell." Lily replied. Shelley opened the door and stepped in. Her face was sad and tear stained. She ran over to Lily and gave her a light hug, so she didn't hurt her.

"I'm so sorry, Lily." Shelley choked out.

"Me too." She said quietly.

"So how are you feeling?" Shelley looked sadly at her best friend. Lily shrugged.

"Been better."

"Of course you have." Shelley laughed a little and Lily smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes.

"Are you coming back to Hogwarts?" Shelley asked hopefully.

"Oh course, I think I need to get away from here. It's so hard, even though I just got back." Lily looked into her friends caramel eyes. "Don't worry. I know my parents don't want me back, but I need to go. So I promise you I will." Shelley nodded and stood up.

"I should let you rest." She told her.

"Okay, thanks for stopping my, you're the best." Lily told her. Shelley gave her another hug and walked out of Lily's room. She soon fell asleep, but only to wake up seeing bright headlights and getting a terrible headache.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Lily was finally able to walk around the house again. It hurt her, every time she passed Jacob's room. She rarely smiled anymore, because it was all so hard. She couldn't wait to get back to Hogwarts, she needed to be there. It had caused a small argument between her and her parents. She knew they were afraid to lose another child, but she promised she would be in safe hands.

She heard a sob coming from Jacob's room, across the hall. She got up and peered inside the half-closed door. Her mum was sitting on Jacob's bed, holding his favorite shirt up to herself and crying into it. Lily's eyes welled up with tears and she stepped inside and walked over to give her mum a hug. Mrs. Evans gave Lily a tight hug back and sadly smiled at her daughter.

"I miss him, too, Lily. I always will." She whispered.

"I know, me to, Mum." Lily gave her another hug. When her mother pulled away, she reached behind herself and pulled out Jacob's necklace. It had a silver oval in the center with a few sparkly diamonds on it on a chain, which he wore almost every day.

"He would've wanted you to have it." Mrs. Evans said, placing the necklace on Lily's neck. Lily's hand held tightly on it and later she noticed the design imprinted in her palm.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Lily wore the necklace every day, never taking it off. The doorbell rang and Lily knew it was Shelley. They were going to Jacob's grave, never going since the funeral 2 weeks ago. Even then, Lily didn't remember everything and she owed Jacob respect.

"Ready?" Shelley asked. Lily nodded.

"Bye Mum! Bye Dad! We'll be careful!" Lily called. Her parents said their good-byes and they girls climbed into Shelley's car. She was also muggle-born so she learned how to drive. It was an uneventful ride to the cemetery. They pulled into a parking lot and stayed in the car for a while.

"I'm ready." Lily said and opened her door. They walked to where her mother told her Jacob was buried. Lily stopped when she saw 'Jacob Kyle Evans' imprinted on a stone, along with when he was born and died. She and Shelley both kneeled down in front of it. Lily placed a lily flower, to remind him of her, in front of the grave. She traced his name with her finger, and she felt a lump form in her throat.

"I miss you Jacob." She whispered. She gasped when she saw at the bottom of the stone:

I'm already there

Take a look around

I'm the sunshine in your hair

I'm the shadow on the ground

I'm the whisper in the wind

I'm your imaginary friend…

Tears fell from Lily's eyes and Shelley gave her a hug. "I'm sorry Lily, I wish this never happened."

"Me too, Shelley, me too." Lily said, while wiping a tear away. She squeezed Jacob's necklace as she stood up to leave.
