Thanks to everyone who reviewed, especially Feltonsgirl190210.

Midnight on a grey day,

And all I want to do is run,

Run away, get away, rush away from here

And find you

My chest's too tight,

And I can't breathe, can't see

And I don't want to

Don't want to feel, don't want to hear,

Without you

Feel the rain stream down my faith

And I scream and cry

Tomorrow always comes too soon

Pitch dark in the sky,

Just me and the pale stars

The wind pushes and hauls me

And I'm crying

My chest's too tight,

And I can't breathe, can't see

And I don't want to

Don't want to feel, don't want to hear,

Without you

Feel the rain stream down my faith

And I scream and cry

Tomorrow always comes too soon

I turn to them and smile

Crying inside,

And only you know

I hold to you

Tomorrow always comes too soon

They made quite a sight, speeding through the alleys and streets. They were in pairs, Chris and Remus, who said he was the most stable looking one, Renee rode with Dylan who in a fit of protectiveness wanted her to ride with him, Lily and James, and Sirius, who was the only Marauder who could ride a Motorbike. No one wanted to ride with him and Renee had doubts about letting him ride her bike even on his own. But they were short of time and she was eventually persuaded.

They pulled into a small alley. Sirius was so surprised, he went past it and had to do a very dangerous looking U-turn.

He jumped off the bike and gaped at the small door.

'Your kidding. This is it?'

Chris grinned.

'Sirius?' Renee said 'You're about to eat those badly chosen words.'

Dylan opened the door. It led to…another door. This one guarded by a very burly bouncer. His arms were crossed until he recognised them.

'Lily! Man, you haven't been here for a while. How's school? Anyone giving you trouble?'

Lily threw a nasty grin at James, who gulped, before replying.

'School's good. Pete, honey, you know I'd love to stay and talk but I'm on in about, fuck, five minutes….'

'Sure, go right in guys,'

Lily glanced back.

'Oh right, the social rejects are with us.'

James was about to make an angry comment when they burst out of the muffled corridor into a huge warehouse, heaving with people. There was a stage at one end with some very disgruntled looking people on it.

'Shit, I'd better go do some damage control, see you guys later'

'Bye bye Lilikins, you have fun y'hear?' yelled Sirius.

She laughed, turned and blew a kiss back at the boys.

…………………………………………………………………………………

James Potter was at a club full of drunk, weird and very scantily clad women. James Potter was also depressed. As anyone at Hogwarts could have told you, those two statement would usually be conflicting..

He was sitting at the bar and drinking. Sirius and Remus were off dancing somewhere. He didn't know where Lily's friends were and he didn't care. He stared dejectedly into his drink, and thought of Lily. He couldn't figure it out. He was James Potter, he didn't fall for anybody, much less girls who could look after themselves. Ok. He told himself Next year, you stop mooning over her, buck up and maybe she'll come round. Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen…..

The next moment, the band started playing again, a haunting song that drifted through James' mind. He turned round just as a voice, lifting with the melody made his breath catch in his chest.

Midnight on a grey day,

And all I want to do is run,

Run away, get away, rush away from her,

And find you

James stared at her silently, watching her lips move, and he knew everything he had just decided would never happen. He was her's forever.

My chest's too tight,

And I can't breathe, can't see

And I don't want to

She caught his eye for a second and frowned slightly, her face earnest for a moment with something James couldn't read. She recovered herself and switched her gaze to the dancing mass.

Don't want to feel, don't want to hear,

Without you

Feel the rain stream down my faith

And I scream and cry

Tomorrow always comes too soon

Pitch dark in the sky,

Just me and the pale stars

The wind pushes and hauls me

And I'm crying

He probably hates me Thought Lily I don't know why I'm so horrible to him except he makes me so mad! She sighed mentally and threw herself into the song.

My chest's too tight,

And I can't breathe, can't see

And I don't want to

Don't want to feel, don't want to hear,

Without you

Feel the rain stream down my faith

And I scream and cry

Tomorrow always comes too soon

I turn to them and smile

Crying inside,

And only you know

I hold to you

Tomorrow always comes too soon

Tomorrow always comes too soon

Lily dropped her head with the last chord. She stayed, head bowed for a second, before flipping her back, grinning.

'Thanks Everybody' She yelled with an over exaggerated bow 'We're Sweet Delilah and we'll be here all summer!'

Some people cheered and clapped and somewhere in the bowels of the club some kicked of a CD and soon everyone was moving again. James lost sight of Lily and wandered around through the deafening crowd. He finally caught site of her, slipping out of a fire door. He followed and after some difficulty with the push down bar, he found himself in a car park.

Lily was standing by the wall of the building, head tipped back against the bricks and her arms crossed. She was silhouetted against the bright lights of the road on the far side of the car park. She didn't seem to have noticed James. He hesitated for a second then walked over to her. His sudden movement caught her eye, and she started. She ran a hand across her face angrily, smudging her makeup.

'What to you want' She snapped.

He shrugged, slightly unsure of himself in the face of her aggression. She saw his face and smiled ruefully.

'Sorry.'

'You ok?'

'Yeah. I just hate that set. Full of weepies.' She tried to smile brightly but it didn't quite reach her eyes. 'Lets go back in!'

'You sure?'

She sniffed slightly.

'Yep.'

She walked back onto the pounding music, and James followed, frowning slightly.
