Layers of Pain

by Evening Jade

It's no big secret that James Potter and Lily Evans despise each other. James loves to pull pranks, Lily often being the target. However Lily has some pranks in store for him too. But what happens when a prank reveals something no one ever knew?

1. Memory Lane

Hey everyone. This is my first fic so be gentle! Well, actually, just give me your honest opinion. Well it's an L/J fic so enjoy! Um, I'd say it would be heavy PG-13 for some language and violence. Oh and review. A lot. Thanks.

EVERYTHING belongs to J.K.Rowling. The only things that I own are the plot and Lily's two best friends Jade and Anna.

Sixteen-year-old Lily Evans stared out the window and sighed, her warm breath fogging up the glass. It was raining heavily outside, the rain pounding the grounds, flooding the lake. The grim weather brought up memories – the kind that you don't want to visit.

Flashback

Lily was lying on the floor, bruises already forming on her face and arms –courtesy of Jack Evans. Bastard, she thought, clenching her teeth as she attempted to sit up. Pain exploded throughout her body, and she fell back again. Heavy footsteps sounded outside her door. Lily grimaced. Jack Evans stormed through the doorway, clutching a bottle of whiskey. His face was red, and his dull red hair was plastered onto his face. He stumbled and swayed, muttering half-phrases.

"Damn y-you…you…your mother…dead…bitch…y-you…I'LL BLEEDING KILL YOU!" he shouted hoarsely and lunged at Lily. She moved out of the way and saw her father towering over her, swinging his bottle like a club.

"You…little whore…you're going to die. J-just like your mother…I'll kill you. You…don't deserve to live…you'll…."

End flashback

Lily brought her knees closer to her chest and stared blankly out the window. The pain of that memory. It was like a layer. One of many. The memories just…piling on top of each other. Layers of memories, layers of pain. The fat drops of rain rolling down the glass pane, mimicked hers, rolling down her cheeks.
