Hi! I tried to get this chapter out as soon as I could. But it got put off because of basketball practice and other things. But I did try to make it longer than the last one. So I hope you're happy about that. And I have a feeling other things in this chapter will make you just as happy. So here's the 10th chapter of Last Chance:

Chapter 10- Together at Last

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Lily's POV)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

This is hopeless. He'll never dump her. He just wants to prove to me that he can stay in a relationship for more that a week. But he always seemed to like me so much….Why is this so complicated? I thought as I stared at his head.

"Lily? Hello? Are we partners or not?" Paige asked.

"Oh what?" I asked

Great. Once again I start thinking about James and someone asks me something and I am clueless.

"Partners?"

"Oh yeah….Sure"

"You seem to do that a lot lately," she said as we began to turn our chair into a pig.

She's noticed too.

"Doing what?" I asked as mine began to turn pink.

"Stare off into space and not respond to anyone,"

"Oh……that"

Crap!

"I mean it's always happening now. I mean at first I thought you were just thinking about homework. But now it just keeps happening. And it's always around James too now that I think about it. That's really weird I wonder why it hap- Oh. OH!" she exclaimed as her chair walked around her.

At least she didn't shout "YOU LIKE JAMES!" But she practically did….oh well. She knows now.

"So….what are you gonna do?" she questioned a few minutes later as my chair ran across the room (it was now half pig half chair)

I was afraid of that.

"I don't know. I really don't know," I answered.

"Hey guys. History of Magic sucked. We have to write these three paged essay about our favorite witch or wizard of 1355," Sarah said as she sat down at the table.

"Oh and there's one other thing…."

She needs a partner. No way. I'm not going to write that paper.

"It's about my partner…."

I knew it!

"It's um… Rachel" she said quickly and stuffed a roll in her mouth.

WHAT? How? Why? NO!

"Oh," I replied.

"It'll be fine," Bridget said.

"Yeah she's not that evil. Once you get to know her," Sarah said.

Sure….

"Who's not that evil?" Rachel asked.

Why is she here?

"Uh….my mum," Bridget said quickly.

Nice save. Now Rachel LEAVE.

"Then why was Sarah talking about her?" she asked suspiciously.

"Uhhhhh"

"Never mind," she said and sat down next to Sarah and across from me.

Why is her hair blonde? I bet she dyes it. Why isn't she sitting by James? Where is James?

"I don't see James anywhere," Rachel said.

How did she know I asked that? I bet she's just looking for him….

"On that subject how are things going?" Paige asked.

Dandy right? I wish they were broken up already. I mean she's just bad for him.

"We broke up. I missed my old boyfriend and he missed….."

He missed WHO?

"He missed Lily," she said

How does she know what I'm thinking?
"I KNEW it!" Paige yelled.

Paige…….

"It was kinda obvious I mean I didn't even to read him to know,"

Read him? OMG how gross is she?

"He talked about you enough and looked at you every chance he got,"

Like when?

"Like now," she said and all of us to turned around to find James staring our way.

How does she know this? I'm just gonna ask her.

"How do-"I started

"I'm an empath," she said.

Oh now she tells me

"That explains a lot,"

"Yeah, he really does like you,"

I know. That's the problem.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((James' POV))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

"James you have to stop staring at her," Sirius said.

No. Its not like I'm doing anything wrong.

"Your acting like my uncle did," Remus said.

Your point is?

"So?"

"He went to jail for stalking someone,"

Oh…

"Well its hard not to…You know how I feel about her,"

"Yeah he has a point," Sirius said.

Thanks.

"Ok fine. But James does she like you?"

Well, no.

"Uhh,"

"Ok so we're going with no," Remus said.

I guess… if you are going to be negative.

"So stop obsessing!" Sirius shouted.

I'm not obsessing……..completely…

"But…but…." I muttered.

"She's not interested mate. So move on with your life," Sirius said.

I thought you wanted me to go out wit her!

"I've tried!" I shouted,"I went out with Rachel and I was miserable!"

"Well……"Remus said.

I knew it I'm right.

"Well then go out with Lily!" Sirius shouted.

"Fine I will!" I yelled back.

"Fine!" Remus called.

What?

Why do I have to love her? I mean she's never going to like me. Just get over her. I can't though…

"James? We have to start," Lily said.

"Oh sure, lets go,"

Why does she have to be so beautiful and smart and nice. Why do I have to love her so much? Why-

"James?"

"Yes Lily,"

"Sorry,"

"Sorry? About what?"

"About…"

About….what?

"About how I hurt you. How I went and got a boyfriend so you would dump Rachel. About how I tried to make you jealous and angry. I'm sorry,"

She wanted to make me jealous. She wanted me to dump Rachel. Wait does she like me? No find out why.

"Lily I'm sorry too. The only reason I dated Rachel was to get my mind off you,"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I love you. I always have and I always will. I know you don't feel the same abou-"

"Wait,"

What?

"You've got something wrong,"

"What wrong?"

"I don't hate you,"

Well then she still doesn't like me.

"I love you,"

……………………………………..what?

"Wait what?" I asked.

"I said I love you," Lily replied.

She loves me. Lily loves me. James Potter.

"Oh,"

Nice say oh

"Oh? That's all you're going to say?" she asked.

"Yeah, but I will do this," I said and leaned forward. So our lips touched and we kissed.

YES!

"James," Lily said pulling away ," I have a question."

Now?

"Ok, what is it Lily,"

"What took you so long?"

You!

"You!" I exclaimed.

"Well then this should make up for it," she said and pulled me closer for another, longer kiss.
