Lily and James: Their Summer of Love
Authors Note: Hey guys! Sorry, I didn't put this chapter up earlier! I had a case of writers block where I had no clue what to put up after such a drama filled chapter! Also, I needed a break from this story (not that I don't love writing it!) and so I did two other one shots and I'm thinking about doing a H/R one. And by the way, a lot of people thought that when I said 'I'm finished!' at the end of the last chapter, that I meant I was finished with the story. I'm NOT! I mean would I actually leave Lily and James split? Of course not! So, I hope I didn't lose any readers by saying that. I changed it just in case. And when the story IS over I'll tell y'all straight out. I would also like to give big thanks to everybody that did review, they were all great and kept my spirit up! By the way...WARNING: This may contain a tiny teensy weensy bit of sexual content. Nothing explicit. So yeah. Luv y'all!---Riley

Chapter 11: Hurting, Regrets, a Diary, and a Bed
Lily's Diary
Dear Diary,
Guess what happened today? We went into town, I had a date with James and just when
everything was perfect—he cheated on me. Just like that. And you'll never guess with
who. Sarah. Bloody. Jordan. That's right. That self-centered, effing slut! I went to the
bathroom and when I came out they were practically shagging on the damned table! I
just don't understand how he could do this to me. After four years of him chasing me, I
finally gave in. And what does he do? He turns around and throws it all right back in my
face by snogging someone else. By doing exactly what I had been afraid of him doing.
Actually, at first I couldn't believe it then—I thought I was seeing things or there was a
reasonable explanation. But there isn't one...Ha! And then guess what I did? I threw a
punch at her and broke her bloody nose! Bloody is the right word for it too. I don't care
if her stupid father sues me or whatever. The bitch deserved it and if he defends her, he
can go right down to hell with her. I tried so hard not to cry. I was so mad at first so I
was doing okay...and then he tried to touch me. I slapped him. Right across the face. I
hope he has a bruise the size of Texas. And then I ran away. I mean, c'mon what would
you've done? Well never mind you are a piece of paper...But anyways there was a shop
full of people witnessing me breaking a girls nose and slapping her boy—ex-boyfriend
now. Of course I ran! So yeah. I must of passed out or something after running so much
and he found me (how cliché can my life get?) and then we shouted a bit and he..um, he
kissed me. I wanted that kiss so bad but it hurt that he still made me feel that way after
he'd broken my heart. It was like my whole body ached for him. Then he did the worst
possible thing. He told me that he was sorry and that he loved me. Like that was
supposed to just make everything all better. And how could he lie to my face about
something like that? You don't snog someone else when you're in love. I told him that I
didn't love him and that he messed everything up and went into the house. The worst
thing though, was...I just—when he told me he loved me, I wanted so bad to tell him that I
loved him too. I wanted nothing more then to just forget it all ever happened. But how do
you forget something like that? How could I trust that he wasn't lying?...Anyways after I
went inside, Riley and Sirius were in the kitchen (snogging, what else?), when I came in.
(Oh and did I mention that Remus and Payton left to go visit his parents? They didn't tell
anyone, just left a note. Oh well.) I must have looked a mess. I was soaked from head to
toe cause it was pouring rain outside, my eyes were all red and puffy, and I was sobbing
so hard I could barely breathe. I guess they tried talking to me but I didn't listen, I just
went to my room. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I just don't get how I'm supposed to live
with him for the rest of the summer. Ugh. I dunno. Maybe I thought I could change him if
I gave him a chance.
Ha. Leave it to Lily Evans to think stupid thoughts like that. I've been crying all day, not
letting anyone see me. I'm just so humiliated...I've come to a conclusion. I'll ignore him.
I'll simply ignore the fact that a James Potter exists. Okay. That should do it. Ha. Yeah
right.
Well, I suppose I should eat something. (Not that I'm hungry but everyone keeps offering
me food so whatever..)
I'll write later.
Till' next, (I'm not saying love anymore. It's such an overused word..)
Lily

Lily set her pen down and surveyed her diary. The ink was smudged in places where she'd cried so much that it was barely readable.
With a deep and rattling breath, she rubbed her swollen eyes, dreading the thought of walking downstairs. Sighing, she stood up and walked to her vanity. She actually felt lucky that her legs could even support her with how wobbly they were.
Groaning as she saw her reflection, she picked up a comb and attempted to brush her matted hair away from her face.
'I should just take a shower.' she thought, looking away from the mirror and walking to the bathroom. Closing the door she turned the shower on, unaware that her diary was still open...

James ran a frustrated hand through his hair, causing it to stick up messily and at odd angles. He had slight bags under his eyes and for the first time since he was seven years old—he cried. It wasn't a whole dramatic sobbing, bawling sort of cry but his eyes were certainly moist.
Of course (after the anger had set in) he'd broken most everything in his room over three times, for Sirius had continuously repaired everything he broke so that it could just be smashed to bits again.
How could he be so bloody stupid? He couldn't believe he'd lost her. But then again, he didn't even kiss her back. It wasn't his fault. Everyone wanted to know what happened but he couldn't even talk.
Voices were bickering back and forth inside his head.
Voice 1: What the hell is your problem? How could you do this to Lily?
Voice 2: You know I didn't mean to! That Jordan girl practically launched herself at me!
Voice 1: Oh don't give me that! You easily could have gotten her off of you! She weighs like, what?—115 lbs?
Voice 2: Shite! She almost gave me a heart attack! I was just surprised! And Lily walked in like a second after she jumped me! HOW could I do ANYTHING?
Voice 1: Maybe that's true but SHE doesn't get that!
Voice 2: Well, what am I supposed to do? It's not my problem if she won't listen!
Voice 1: You stubborn git! Of course it's your bloody problem, if you want to get her back!
Voice 2: Oh bloody hell, just sod off you wanker!
Voice 1: Fine, but you'll need me one day!
Voice 2: Oh, shut it, I AM YOU!
Voice 1: Oh, right...

James sighed. Maybe he could go talk to her if she was calmer now.
Walking carefully to her room, he knocked softly on her closed door.
"Lily?" he called. He heard nothing.
Knocking louder this time, his eyebrows furrowed as he waited silently for her to answer or at least send him away with a 'Go to hell, Potter!'.
No answer.
Panicking, he opened the door anyways and let out a relieved sigh when he heard the shower going.
As he was about to leave, something caught his eye. It looked like Lily's diary...

"I guess we'll have to have a Plan B..."
Riley and Sirius were laying on the bed, in Sirius' room, his head in her lap.
"And why do we need a Plan B?", Riley teased, remembering the day they'd made Plan A of Operation: Prongs gets the Flower.
"Because Plan A failed!" he recited as if in school.
"That's right Mr. Black, I think you deserve a little treat!"
Sirius grinned. "Ah, I think you're right."
Riley smiled lightly, and pushing her hair behind her ear, leaned down and brushed her lips ever so slightly against his.
In a second Sirius had her flipped so that he was on top of her, and pressing his lips harder to hers with his arms around her waist..
As she encircled her arms around his neck, Riley lightly brushed his bottom lip with her tongue, and she felt his mouth open.
Slipping her tongue in, she explored his mouth, feeling the familiar burning feeling that ignited in her abdomen as she felt his leg slip in-between hers for a more comfortable position. He supported himself with one hand, so that the weight that pressed down on her actually felt quite nice.
His hand entangled itself in her hair, as they kissed while her fingers played with the hairs on the nape of his neck.
Barely biting back a moan, she let his weight settle comfortably on her. She couldn't help but to press her hips up against his.
Sirius made a low grunting noise from the back of his throat, and his hand left her hair, instead choosing to run up and down the side of Riley's body.
Riley gave a soft gasp as she felt something press up against her leg. Her eyes snapped open in wide saucers as she realized what it was.
She forgot what she felt when she felt Sirius' hand hesitantly rest on her breast. Not being able to stop a moan from coming out, she arched her back slightly. Sirius tore away from her lips and lay soft kisses alone her jaw line and neck.
"S-Sirius...we have to stop." Riley started when she got a breath, panting lightly after she came to her senses. "What if someone sees us? They'll think we're doing something that we shouldn't be..."
"Well that wouldn't be so bad now would it?" he asked, his breathing ragged as he abandoned her neck and dived down for another kiss.

Authors Note: Hey guys! Sorry I kept you waiting so long! I know there was not really a big reason for sending Remus and Payton away besides the fact that they don't have big roles in the story yet, so I couldn't think of anything to write for them. And by the way, Riley and Sirius did NOT do anything other than kissing and a little touchy-touchy but nothing more! And also coming up in later chapters: Does James read the diary or not? And how will the next Operation go? Will Lily forgive and forget or will she ever learn to trust James again? Well, I hope y'all like this chapter. I think the Sirius/Riley thing is SO cute! Lol well please review and PLEASE READ MY OTHER FICS AND REVIEW! That would be sooo awesome! Luv y'all a billion tuns!------Riley
