I own no one and never will, but If i ever do, I would give them to you...or not...hehe (evil laugh)
---------------Why did I fall for your charms?-------------------
At first I was pretty nervous about how I would act, or what I would say because I thought Richard was one of those guys you had to impress, though it seemed like he thought the exact same way.
"Erm, I err…so…you drink me. I mean…I'll go get us some drinks" He mumbled pathetically. He stood up and hurried off to the bar. I sighed and rested my head on my hand. Richard was a great guy, but there was something making me feel really bad about this whole thing. He came back with the two drinks and put them on the table. His hand was shaking slightly and he managed to slosh a bit of the drink into my lap.
"Oh Lily, Oh I am sooo sorry, I am such a…a klutz, I'll just clean that up" He grabbed hold of a napkin on the table and started to dab at my crotch.
"Hey, hey Richard, It's fine, I'll do it" I grabbed the napkin off of him and gently pushed him down into his seat.
"No, I'm really sorry, I was just so nervous about today, I mean someone like you going out with someone like me" This went on for a while. Richard putting himself down, acting like the whole world was against him. This wasn't the Richard I thought I knew. This was the Richard I wanted to date, and I suddenly didn't find him so appealing. I'm just glad I didn't sound like that all the time. Wait…I did sound like that all the time. I must be very annoying.
He was just in the middle of telling me how he was supposed to have participated in a rollerblading tournament but had broken his leg and been rushed to Hospital the day before when I interrupted him.
"Hey, It's getting kinda crowded in here, hows about we go get some ice cream or something"
"Sure" He said a little too quickly. Man he was getting on my nerves. He rushed through the door at lightning speed and didn't bother to keep it open for me, so when it swung back on his hinges it hit me square on the nose.
"Ouch!" I screamed in agony. He obviously hadn't heard me so I didn't bother pursuing the situation and instead followed him outside.
There was a soft breeze and I was beginning to feel a little cold. I wrapped my arms round my self and picked up the pace on our walking a bit.
"Lily are you cold?"
"Well…no not really, I'm fine" I didn't expect him to do what he did next, instead of insisting I took his jacket to put over my own he said:
"Oh, I am, I don't suppose I could have your jacket could I?"
"Oh, I err…s-s-sure" I took it off and handed it to him. He pulled it on with a smile.
"Thanks"
"Any time" I mumbled. What had I gotten myself into? A date with James Potter seemed a blessing compared to this. But was a date with James Potter a blessing anyway?
"Hey Lily"
"Sorry Richard, I don't have another jacket" I sighed.
"Oh no, that's not it, I was just wondering why you had a rose sticking out f your back pocket"
"Oh…right, It's err, for you" I said lamely, pulling out of my back pocket and handing it to him. "Surprise"
"Wow, thanks" He took it and looked it over. Then he started pulling the petals out! "She loves me, she loves me not, she loves me, she loves me not…"
"Oh God" I shook my head.
"Hey Lily, you love me" He said ecstatically, smiling like mad.
"Great" I mumbled. It was like being on a date with a 5 year old, not a 15 year old!
On many various occasions he tried wrapping his arm round me, one time his finger got caught in the fly of my jeans and another time he accidentally pinched me in the stomach. He also tried kissing me but as I backed away he poked me in the eye with his nose and then when he was attempting to tickle me poked me hard in the chest area. All in all this date was turning out to be a disaster.
"Look Lily, there's something I've been needing to tell you for the past hour or so"
"Erm…ok"
"I really like you Lily, but I just don't think this is going to work out" He said dramatically.
"O…"
"I know this must be breaking your heart but I think I need someone who's a little less serious, I need a laugh once in a while, you know"
"I see…" What was this boy on? We had only been together for about 3 hours and he was treating it as though it was coming up to our 20th anniversary.
"So I guess this is goodbye then" He said, holding out his hand for me to shake.
"I suppose"
"Well, if you want you can have your jacket back now, it would only bring back painful memories"
"Yes…I'll be having that back thanks" I snatched it off him and wrapped it round myself, by that time I could feel my ligaments going numb.
"I know this must hurt you so much"
"JESUS, CAN YOU GET ANY STUPIDER!"
"Excuse me?"
"Look Richard, this has not exactly been the best first date for me you know. In fact, I could probably have a better time on a date with the giant squid; at least his tentacles wouldn't bruise my skin"
"But Lily-"
"No Richard, I know you're the one breaking up with me but I just want to make it clear that I am not at all sad or disheartened. In fact, you've just saved me a great deal of time I would have had to use to dump you myself"
"Lily I-"
"In fact, we weren't even a couple; I must remember to tell myself that. We were never and will never be an item!"
"Lily!"
"What?"
"The reason I am doing this is because…I don't even like girls"
"What?"
"I'm…I'm gay" He whispered.
"You're WHAT!"
"Shh! I don't want the whole world and his dog knowing"
"So you went out with me, tried to kiss me and then broke up with me all because you're gay?"
"Lily I haven't had a girlfriend since I was 12, people start to get suspicious about these things when you haven't got lucky in three years, I guess this was a good way to fool them"
"So you used me"
"Not to hurt you"
"You used me"
"I told you I didn't mean to"
"But you USED ME!" I bellowed.
"I…err…well…I guess I did" I brought up my fist and sent it crashing down onto his nose.
"OUCH!" He shrieked in agony.
"Look Richard, I have nothing wrong with your sexual orientation but when a guy uses me I just can't keep myself from smashing their face in!" What a turn around. The shy and self conscious pretty boy turns out to be a gay who's afraid of coming out of the closet. What was going on today?
"I said I was sorry Lily!"
"And I said I don't care!" I screamed at him, shaking with fury.
"Just please don't tell anyone"
"Tell anyone what? That you're GAY!" I screamed. A few people stopped in their tracks to look at the commotion but I glared at them and they quickly turned away.
"Yes that" He whispered harshly.
"Don't worry Richard, I won't. You can be a transsexual blacksmith named Jim for all I care. You don't mean anything to me, you're DEAD to me!" I screamed one last time. Then I ran, and ran, and ran. I wasn't mad that Richard had dumped me, I wasn't even that angry about the whole using me thing. The thing that I was really mad about was that I had cut things short with James…how could he forgive me now?
By the time I was back at the castle I was panting and red in the face, mainly because I hadn't stopped at all on my journey.
I pushed through the crowds of 2nd years and 1st years who hadn't been to Hogsmeade that day and ran through the corridors. I didn't know were James would be exactly, but I needed to find him. I needed to tell him something.
I was just turning the corner on a 4th floor corridor when I heard a small moan. I wasn't that interested to know what it was but my curiousness got the best of me.
I slowly and quietly walked back round the corner. It was coming from an empty store cupboard. I cautiously made my way to it and cautiously opened the door.
"…Sirius I- HOLY SHIT WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" My jaw dropped to the ground. The sight in front of me made me want to throw up my breakfast. Sandy was leaning against a wall with a head full of messed up hair and a face full of smudged lipstick. Sirius was standing in front of her, hand half up her top and leg rubbing up against her own.
"What the…"
"Lily I can explain"
"You little hore!"
"Lily I-"
"So this is why you didn't want to come to Hogsmeade. So you can shack up with this…thing!"
"Hey Evans, I'm not a thin-"
"SHUT UP BLACK!" I screamed.
"Ok then"
"Look Lily, you have to understand why I did this"
"You promised me Sandy, we made a deal!"
"I didn't know you were going to choose what you did, did I!"
"Well you should have kept it into consideration!" I yelled at her, I could almost feel the veins in my forehead burst.
"Look Evans, I don't think this is really any of your-"
"I went out with James Potter for you!" I finally screamed. Then I stepped back and gasped for air. I could feel the tears stinging my eyes and I wiped them away franticly with the back of my hand.
"I knew it was too good to be true" No…no not now. I turned round slowly and came face to face with…
"James"
"I knew it; I knew there had to be a catch"
"No James, I really did want to go out with you, I promise I-"
"Save it Lily, if you didn't like me you could have just said, but to use me like that I just…I don't know what I ever saw in you Lily" I could see now that me and Richard Jenner weren't that different at all.
"But James" Tears were streaming down my cheeks by now and I could feel the breath getting caught in my throat.
"I said save it"
"But James…I love you!" I yelled at him. "I love you James" I felt my knees start to give in and I stumbled. James hands shot out and he steadied me. "I love you so much" I grabbed onto him for dear life.
"Lily…I just-"
"Please James, I'm so sorry"
"Lily…I just don't love you"
"But James-"
"Lily…I adore you" I smiled through my tears and reached up. Then I kissed him. The world seemed to stop for a moment; it was just me and him. And it was sooo good. The best experience Lily Evans had ever had.
So...this is the last chappie...should i carry on? Should I do a sequel? Whatever you want...please read and review, thanx :D
