A/N: sorry, don't hate me if you hate this chapter! the last one was kinda intense i think. pleace review.

Chapter five.


Lily was aching to have James strong arms wrapped around her, longing to see his hazel brown eyes, and craving his kiss.

She refused to leave her house, she wouldn't leave her bedroom, her normally wavy auburn hair was matted and flat, her face pale and sad.

Every day her best friend Jen would come over and try to get Lily to come out of her room or at least have a shower, but Lily would yell at her, and then throw something hard in Jen's direction.

"Lils, are you in there? I bought you a of triple choc mud cake, your favourite." Jen called,

No reply, just a groan.

"Lily?" Jen said, now she was getting worried. She put down the box of cake and slowly pushed her bedroom door open. She looked around the dark room; the curtains were half shut, a dim light coming through. Scrunched up tissues and empty alcohol bottles lay all over the floor, the bed was un-made and her wand was thrown carelessly on a windowsill. Lily lay on the floor, unconscious with an almost empty bottle in her hand.

"Lily? Lily?" Jen shouted, her face contorted with fear, she checked for a pulse; it was barely there, very slow. Jen grabbed the bottle, Lucelli's Grappa.

Note: Very strong! Almost 100 alcohol.

"Oh no, Lily! Lily wake up!" she shrieked, she grabbed Lilys shoulders and shook her vigorously, in an attempt to wake her. In a panic she rummaged through her pockets in search of her wand, they were empty. She grabbed Lilys from the window and pointed it at her, "Wokaris Endopleura!" she shouted.

Lily sat up immediately, her emerald eyes were wide and bloodshot and her hair was frizzy. She instantly started coughing and spluttering, but then after that, she fell back down on the floor.

"Lily!" she panicked, but then she heard a loud snore. Lily was asleep.


James tried to block her out, he was trying his hardest, but she kept disturbing his thoughts. Lily, he could see her face and hear her laugh. He refused to believe that he wasn't over her yet. He constantly told himself that he was in love with Emma, but it was no use.

"Sirius, I don't know what's going on, she won't leave me alone." He complained

"Then dump her." Sirius said hopefully

"Not her. Lily."

"Oh, her. Ask Remus."

"He's not here! I need help, now!"

"Ok, here's what I would do. I would go back to Lily. But if you don't want to do that, you should commit more to Emma; that might help you forget." Sirius said, he hated saying this, but James was his best friend and in this case, friends come first.

"Yeah, good idea, I'll do that." He said

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know!" he said as he rushed out the door.


"James, why did you need to see me so urgently?" Emma asked curiously

"Well, I, umm." James shifted in his seat nervously, "I have something for you." He rummaged through his pockets, and pulled out a few things, a scrunched up handkerchief and receipt and a gold galleon.

"Hey! I didn't know I had this!" he said as he kept looking through his pockets, "here." He said; he handed her a key.

"A key. To be honest I think I would have preferred the galleon." She said

"No, it's the key to my apartment. I don't want you to feel like you have to give me your key, but—"

"No, I want to! This is so cool!" she said excitedly passing him a pink key.

"Big step for Emma and James." He said loudly, noticing a redhead sitting in the corner of the café, hearing his loud comment, she turned around and stared at him.

'Nope, not her.' He thought.


Lily groaned, her head was throbbing; she was lying in her bed covered in blankets. 'I don't remember going to sleep here.'

"Lils? Are you awake?" a voice called. Jen walked into the room carrying a tray. "I levitated you into your bed, you were shivering like crazy!"

A moan from Lily.

"I made you some brunch. Hash browns, toast, scrambled egg and coffee, a big meal, but you need strength. You must be out of your mind. Honey you need to get over James, or get back at him. Make him want you back."

"Whatever" she groaned, "I'll eat but then I'm going straight back to sleep."
