Author's Note: Thanks to Muzzy-Olorea and pale pink roses for reviewing the original version. And thanks to hpjsr, Tolly, Niux, PammaPoo, lizziee, siriuszsecretlover, bananilla, and weird and wonderful for reviewing the new version!

Tolly: Yeah, I actually deleted all the other chapters from the website. I'm reposting them all once the revision for each chapter is complete.

Niux: No I won't post the original version. Sorry you don't like the new one, but that's not my problem. In fact, I don't even know why you don't like this new one, especially since the changes that I made were minor. I'm only changing description so that its better. And I incorporated James's friends as well. You probably don't even remember the original version. You probably only remember the chapters when Lily and James finally get together, which in both versions, doesn't happen until chapter 4 or 5.

bananilla: Sorry, the review still won't allow your email address to be posted in the review! Do you think you could email me with it? I guessed the ending to it, so hopefully I got it right!

About a week later, Lily was preparing for her date with Jason. She had on one of the typical 'little black dresses.' The dress had spaghetti straps and went into a v-neck, showing off a little bit of cleavage. It reached to a little above her knees. Lily pulled her long red hair into a stylish bun, a few strands being left out to illuminate her face. Her black, strapy shoes made her about two inches taller. She wore a silver necklace around her neck; it was a gift from Jason for her birthday.

"How do I look?" Lily asked Carina.

Carina looked her friend up and down, "You're going knock him dead Lils."

"Are you sure? I mean, I'm using a different eyeliner, you don't think it looks bad?"

"Lily, you look amazing. Stop worrying about it," Carina responded.

Lily smiled, and then heard a knock at the door. 'That must be Jason,' she thought. Carina went over and opened the door, it was indeed Jason. Lily couldn't help but notice how great he looked. He had one of his best suits on that night.

"Hello, Carina," Jason charmingly said once she opened the door.

"Jason, haven't seen you in quite a while," Carina commented.

"Yeah, work is keeping me busy, you know, with all that's happening with You-know-who."

"Yeah…Well, here's Lily," she told him while turning her head towards Lily.

Lily stood there with a huge smile on her rosy lips. Just meeting Jason's eyes with her own could make her heart skip a beat. His brown hair was combed perfectly into place, and his chocolate colored eyes would melt her heart with one glance. Everything about him was amazing.

"Hey Lily," he said while coming up next to her. He bent down to kiss her softly, but broke away before Lily really felt that the couple had connected.

"Are you ready to go?" he asked.

"Yeah," she replied as he took her hand in his own. It was a different feeling though, his hand was clammy now, as if he was nervous about doing something.

"Hello gorgeous," James said as he suddenly apparated into Emmy's apartment.

"Hey James," she responded. James couldn't help but notice that she didn't call him 'Jamie.'

"Are you mad at me?" he asked.

"Why the fuck would I be mad at you? You've only blown me off for work four times in the past week, and not to mention the other night, you just left me there without saying anything," Emmy shouted at him, her voice was full of sarcasm.

"Emmy, you know that I can't help that. I have to go when they call me," he pleaded. "And about the other night, can't we just pretend that it never happened?"

"Pretend that it never happened?"

"Yes," he replied weakly.

"No, we can't pretend that it never happened. God damn it James, why is it so hard for you to say it? I mean, I know that you care about me!"

"I do care about you, a lot… But you know that I care about you, so why should I say it?"

Her eyes were like deep slits, showing just how angry she was.

"Emmy, baby, this isn't really why you're mad is it? About some stupid little fight?" James asked.

"No, not all of it. You've blown me off for your stupid job four times this week, like I already told you!" she shouted.

He sighed a bit, and then said, "I've told you a million times before, when they call me in, I have to go. It's part of the job… Especially now with even more attacks happening than ever before."

"How do I really know that?" she asked, bitterness was present in her naturally sweet voice.

"What do you mean?" he asked, James was truly confused about what his girlfriend was implying.

"I saw your partner the other day, James. She was gorgeous, why didn't you tell me your partner was a woman?" Emmy's voice was raising and her face was turning red.

"What? Is that what this is about?" he shouted back at her. Now James was mad, he had told Emmy all about his partner. "I've mentioned Sam before."

"There you go again. Sam is it? I'm guessing that's short for Samantha."

"Well yeah, what did you think?"

"I thought she was a bloody fucking guy, James. I can't believe you didn't tell me about her," Emmy shouted.

"Well you were fucking wrong, there's nothing I can do about that," he yelled back at her.

"God damn it James. For all I know you could be sleeping with that whore behind my back."

"For one Sam isn't a whore. And I've never cheated on you before," he bellowed.

"Oh that so damn typical, that's what they always say, those disloyal fuckers who cheat on their girlfriends." Emmy was now shaking with anger at James. "Get out," she said softly.

"Emmy, just listen to me," he begged.

"GET OUT!" she screamed, pulling her wand out.

James just looked at her for a second then left her apartment.

"Jason this place is beautiful." Lily looked around her at the restaurant. There were giant windows that overlooked a gorgeous waterfall, and everything was so fancy! The dishes were the finest porcelain in the wizarding world, the utensils were real silver, the tablecloths had the most elaborate designs, and the ceiling was charmed to have a full moon and sparkling stars above.

"Yeah it is," he responded. Lily frowned for a second, this was not the typical answer that she would have expected from him. Usually he would have said that is was nothing compared to how much he loved her, or something romantic like that.

After ordering their food Jason started to sweat a little. "Jason, are you okay?" Lily asked, there was concern written all over her face.

"Um, yeah I'm fine," he replied. "Actually, no, I'm not okay."

"What wrong? Are you sick?" she asked.

"No, Lily, I was going to wait to do this later, but I don't know if I can do that to the both of us."

'Oh my God, is he going to propose? That would explain the clammy hands and the nervousness. What am I going to say? Would I say yes, or no?' Lily's mind was buzzing, butterflies appeared in her stomach.

Jason took a gulp of water and then began saying, "Lily, I've had so much fun with you this year."

"Yeah, so have I." Lily's eyes were dancing with joy, this was about to become the happiest day of her life.

"It's just that, as much as I love being with you, it's really distracting me. I need to put in 24 hours, seven days a week for my job. And, it's just not fair to either one of us." Jason finished. Then looked at her, avoiding her green eyes, waiting for a response.

Lily's smile quickly faded after she heard the statement. 'Did he just breakup with me?' She felt like crying, here she was thinking he was going to propose, and he dumped her.

"What?" was all she could manage to say.

"I'm sorry, I really am," he told her.

"So, we're just over, just like that?" she questioned.

"Well, yes…But it's really not you. I just really need to concentrate on my job at the moment; it's been my goal ever since I was five years old."

"And I'm getting in the way of it," she stated.

"No, more like distracting me away from it," he honestly told her.

She narrowed her eyes at him, never had she ever been dumped before. "You fucking bastard," she muttered as she picked up her glass of water and threw the water at him with as much force as she had at him.

She then turned and left the restaurant. Leaving a dumbstruck and soaked Jason behind her.

---

She couldn't believe what had just happened; she couldn't believe that Jason had just dumped her. It couldn't be so, it just couldn't. Only weeks ago, the couple had been laughing and having a good time. Lily couldn't figure out what went wrong. Their personalities worked wonders together, and their physical relationship was anything but awful.

As Lily walked along the dark street, she realized that she had no idea of where she was. Of course it wasn't a huge problem, as she was a witch and could easily apparate to her apartment, but she didn't want to go back there. She didn't' want to explain to Carina what happened, especially as she was just comprehending it herself.

Her pace quickened once she saw a bench come into view, she walked as if her life depended on reaching that bench. Once she got there, she quickly collapsed onto it, letting her body fall apart. She allowed the tears to finally fall from her eyes.

She sat there for quite some time, letting herself to be a complete mess. Her mascara ran down her cheeks from the tears, her hair was getting wet from the light rain that feel from the sky, and her little black dress was getting destroyed from the rain and the dirty bench she sat on.

Once her tears were finally all dried up, Lily got up off of the bench. She didn't know where she wanted to go, but she couldn't just stay on that bench all night, she had to do something to get her mind off of Jason Everard. And that's when she saw it; the perfect place to go, a pub. She needed it; she needed to drink all her problems away.

Lily took a deep breath as she neared the pub. She looked down at herself, and quickly muttered the spell to clean herself up. Her dress was clean, her hair was back to the stylish bun, and her mascara was no where to be seen.

As she walked into the pub and sat down at the bar, someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around and was surprised to see a familiar face from her past.
