Chapter 5- Jade's hatred for odd numbers!
James stormed out to his favorite thinking place, kicking rocks hard against trees until he was in a clear grassy patch near the edge of the Dark Forrest.
He sat down with his back against a tree and put his head in his hands. Why was he so bloody stupid?
He sighed and ran his hands through his messy hair. This wasn't just something he did when he was trying to impress people; it had become a habit that he did when he was stressed.
*****************************************************************
Remus and Lily were in an empty classroom. Lily sat at a desk with her head in her hands, her long red hair cascading over her face. Remus stood back and watched her, sighing occasionally and wondering what to do.
After a while, Lily's back began to shake and loud sobbing noises came out from her vicinity.
"She's crying!" Remus thought to himself, and he rushed over to stand beside her, stroking her back calmly.
"Shh Lily, it's okay. Don't let him get to you." he said soothingly. And she turned her head and looked at him; her usual clear emerald eyes looked troubled and were red rimmed.
"You don't understand, Remus," she said, shaking her head sadly. "It's not what he does, to me or anyone else that upsets me, it's what he's become! I've known James most of my life, and I've loved James most of my life, first as a friend and then it grew into more. But just as I started to realise the feelings I had for him, he scared me like that and I knew I couldn't trust him. But this year, on the train I thought he had changed and I thought I'd give him a chance. But when I looked into his eyes and he was telling me I was beautiful, I saw that same animalistic lust that lay in his eyes that day in second year! And I knew I couldn't face him, not yet!" she started to sob again, but Remus didn't stroke her back he was too angry.
She had just admitted to loving James after the way Remus had cared for her when James upset her all those times, after the way he helped her with everything she still felt for the self-obsessed fuck up that was James Potter! He clenched his fists hard and tried not to let Lily sense his anger. Soon he was calmed, but knew in the back of his mind that his hands were bleeding from the semi-circles that his fingernails had cut into him.
"Lily, look at me." he said, stroking her hair. She turned and looked at him, and he could still see the pain in her big green eyes.
"You are too good for a worthless git like James Potter, and I know you know that! So don't think about him, set your sights on another boy, because we both know James will never change." He said, and he lifted her chin up slightly and stared into her eyes. "You have beautiful eyes Lily." He said.
Lily gasped slightly, she could see jealousy and love in Remus' eyes; she had a gift for reading people and anyone could read the vibes that were coming from Remus! Remus was her best friend; her confidant. There was no way she could feel for him in the way he seemed to feel for her. She had to get away from him, and away from James and all the other horny boys in the school! She had to get away from the madness!
"I-I have to go!" she stammered, and jumped up. "Thank you Remus, but I need to think by myself for a little while." She pushed past him and ran out the door.
*****************************************************************
James got up off the ground and dusted the grass off his bum. He needed to go find Lily and talk to her. He'd been remembering fun memories from their childhood that might sway her into forgiving him and he had prayed a thousand times that his plan would work.
That was if Remus hadn't gotten to her already! James had seen the look that the werewolf had been giving HIS Lily, and he didn't like where it was heading.
He'd been walking towards the castle; and now with the thought of Remus and Lily leaving the Great Hall together; he had begun to jog, and then run. He was now running as fast as he could to the castle, with tears streaming down his face when he bumped into something. He fell to the ground onto the something, and looking down into green eyes he realised it wasn't 'something', it was someone. It was Lily!
*****************************************************************
Lily ran through the halls, trying to get away from the image of Remus' dark eyes, staring right into her own- just the way James' had. Her eyes were welling with tears which she held back; she didn't want anyone to see her crying. They had to hide until she was alone before they could fall freely.
She ran out of the doors and onto the grounds, she could barely see where she was going, and was just running in the direction that her mind was taking her. She just realised that she was running towards her and James' secret spot from their first year, when she bumped into someone running towards the school.
*****************************************************************
James' moved off Lily's small body and let her have some room. She stared at him blankly for a moment and then her eyes rolled back into her head.
James' heart flipped! Lily had just fainted, and he had to get her to safety! He stood up and immediately fell back down. He had a searing pain in his ankle and his eyesight was blurring.
"I have to help Lily!" he said through gritted teeth as he stood up and almost vomited due to the pain in his ankle. He bit down hard on his tongue and bent over to pick up Lily's limp form.
He limped towards the school doors, biting down hard on his tongue and blinking lots to try and keep his eyes in focus.
As he reached the corridor that lead to the hospital wing, his mouth was filling with blood from him biting his tongue and he was seeing double.
He finally reached the door and pushed it open, tumbling through and falling over trying to hold Lily up so that his body would cushion her fall. Madam Pomfrey's white shoes were the last things he saw before he passed out from pain.

A/n: That was lame!! And so so typical, but lol I wanted to see where Sarah would take this! Anyway, I'll send this over to her now so she can beta it and then write her own Chapter! Ooh, I'm bubbling with excitement! *Kissez Jade*
