Chapter 13- Dee's Plea:
Saturday morning, her limbs felt heavy and her head was achy as she trudged down the staircase towards Gryffindor tower. She barely noticed the other students totally immersed in their own worlds as they chatted animatedly down the hall towards the Great Hall. Instead, she pondered over the fate of her relationship with her "friends."
She hadn't slept in the dormitory in over a week. She, Sunny and Fly had barely spoken. On her end were only grunts and waves. James wouldn't glance her way and she in turn wouldn't glance his. She'd spent her time with Ed, Millie, Allie and Frank.
Although they were good companions and okay to hang around, they still weren't hers- her friends, anyway. They were associates, comrades . . . and although she hated to admit it, they were only replacements.
Sighing, she pulled her gray sweater closer to her frame and muttered the password to the Fat Lady.
Upon entering the common room, she scurried as fast as she could to the girls' dormitory, hoping she wouldn't be spotted. She knew if she were, her disheveled appearance wouldn't go unnoticed and someone would suspect something sordid.
When she finally flung open the door to her dorm, she was surprised to find Sunny sitting cross legged on Lily's still-made bed with a wand in her hand and a determined look clouding in her stormy gray eyes.
"Where's-?"
"Petrificius Totalus!" Sunny roared, pointing her wand at Lily.
In an instant, Lily's extremities snapped together, paralyzing Lily and causing her to flop to the floor where pillows had been strategically placed.
"I'm sorry Lils," Sunny frowned; her eyes round as she pointed her wand again and levitated Lily off the ground. "I'm sorry it had to be this way, but it did."
Cautiously, Sunny led Lily's petrified body back down the girls' staircase, through the common room, up the boys' staircase and into a room that she knew well.
In the room, she placed Lily upright next to James on his bed. The way his back remained rigid and his eyes skittered about, she inferred he too had been paralyzed.
"Guys," Fly began.
Lily's eyes grew round as for the first time since she'd known Fly, she saw weakness.
Delia Flynn stood before her friends with her back hunched forward. She had laced her fingers together, wringing them in apprehension as she lifted her shoulders and seemed to shrink within herself. Her brown hair fell over her face as a thick curtain, hiding her from everyone as she searched for the words. For the first time, Delia was small . . . tiny.
"Look, for the past two weeks, things have been pretty fucked up. Everything's so tense and no one's talking to one another. I hate not hanging with you, Lily," she said looking up into Lily's emerald eyes. "I love you so much and I hate that I can't go to you when I feel afraid, or small or anxious about Quidditch or boys or life. I hate that you can't come to me when you need me. I hate that you're pushing me away and not even giving a valid reason.
"I don't have a mother, Lily. I've never had a mother. She died when I was born. All my life, all I've ever had was Dad, Phil, Ben and Kerry. I'd never had any girlfriends until you and Sunny. And no one has ever meant so much to me since you two. I know that I'm not good at being girly, and I haven't gotten the whole make-up and hair and attitude down pact, and most of all I know I haven't gotten down the whole sharing my feelings deal . . . but I thought you both understood how much you mean to me?
"You guys are my best friends in the world. Even when everything goes wrong in my life I know that you guys won't . . . or that was at least what I used to think. When I couldn't talk to Kerry, Phil, Ben, Dad or the Marauders about . . . things, you guys I knew would always be there for me. I never had to worry about who would be there for me, I never had to doubt who would be there to pick up the pieces when my heart broke, I never had to think twice about who would wallow with me in triple chocolate ice cream. You guys were my family. I could count on you and I would give my life for either of you.
"But these past two weeks have been pure hell! I haven't seen you, no one's happy anymore. I go to sleep at night wondering if you're okay, if you're with Ieva, if you've even been talking to anyone. I worry if it's something to do with your family or us. I keep wondering is it because of James that you're upset or did we do anything?
"We're not replacing you," she whispered, lifting her head, her eyes meeting Lily's. "I love you so much, and I wish you would try to understand. We're not replacing you. You used to love Skye . . . it shouldn't matter if she's dating him, I thought you were different from this- above it."
Her voice had intensified and her teary eyes grew hard with anger. She'd returned back to Fly . . . her anger out stripping her sadness.
Sirius lifted himself from his seat and wrapped his arms around Fly protectively.
"Lily, James, you guys are our family and we would never wish anything to happen to you guys. But you guys need to realize, your stupid fighting hurts us too. We want . . . no need you two to have a truce. It's been hell not being with you guys, and we'd rather you guys get over it."
Sirius's blue eyes grew hard as he said the next part, "Lily if you don't really like James, then why are you being such a bitch to him? And James, if you really cared about her like you've been trying to convince her for the past three years, then you would respect her and talk to her so she wouldn't feel threatened every time she sees you doing something stupid. And I don't think you've done anything wrong by Skye, but be sure that what you're doing is true . . . don't fuck around with her."
With the wave of the wand, Lily and James's body's relaxed and they found they could move their limbs again.
"I've really missed you," Sunny nodded, a tear running a path that had been well defined by the myriad preceding it.
Without even a word, Lily launched herself at Fly and wrapped her arms tightly around her, a wave of emotion rolling down her spine causing her to tremble as the tears burst free from her closed lids and displayed every emotion she had omitted to show them for two weeks.
Soon Sunny's arms were around both of them and their heads were together as they whispered remorseful words and tried to convey what they truly meant.
"I'm so sorry," Lily bawled, "I was so stupid to think that you guys would ever leave me for Skye."
"You were," Sunny laughed, pressing a kiss to her temple, "You know I would totally ditch my own sister for you!"
Breaking away from them, she turned to James who seemed to be gazing deeply into the palm of his hand.
"We need to talk."
He looked up, nodded, and then returned his gaze to his hand.
TBC . . .
A/N: I'M SO SORRY that this chapter is so short, but I really needed to post something and this is the farthest I could get. I'm a little blocked mentally, so I'm trying, but this chapter is really just . . . not my best. Its way too girly and . . . I just . . . I'm gunna' try.
w/ luv, Yo-yo
