Ok, this chapter is just the letter James wrote to Lily. I thought it would be better to put it in a separate chapter than to try to incorporate it with everything going on in the next. I hope this explains everything you are still wondering about. If not….well then I am not sure what else I can do. Thanks again to everyone who keeps reviewing; they help more that you think! Here's Chapter 16:
Chapter 16 – The Letter
Dear Lily,
I know I can't get you to talk to me in person, so I am writing this letter so you can, listen to me, without actually having to, listen to me. I am just going to start from the beginning of this fight, and also explain why you got a locket with this letter. Two weeks ago when this fight started I was searching for a locket for you, as a Christmas gift. Paige told me how much you liked lockets and I wanted to give you one. I knew I had to get that "special" locket, but I had no luck in finding it. So as I grew more desperate to find it I began to um… "Search the Halls" for one. I ended up seeing the perfect one on Rachel. So I asked her for it and as it turned out, she really didn't care if I took it. So as I was unclasping it from her neck when you came. Now, I'm not sure what you saw, but I was just unclasping the locket. Maybe it looked like we, well maybe it looked like something different. But I was not doing anything with her. The next thing I knew you were coming and telling me that you wanted to break up. I being upset, tried to get you to talk to me, sorry if I seemed a little rough, I was just confused and upset. Now, I was giving you some space and was going to try to talk to you again, when I saw you with Matt Hemlock. I saw you two eating together and I thought you were dating. So, I thought of a "plan", still thinking of you and Matt, and decided the only way to get you back was to make you jealous. So I asked out Aubrey, who I thought would make you jealous enough to dump Matt. Maybe she did, but I thought she wasn't doing that, because I was seeing you and Matt together more and more. Yesterday, I told Remus about my plan and how you weren't dumping Matt and then he told me, you two weren't going out. So I, feeling incredibly dumb, thought of a new plan. That was to dump Aubrey and somehow talk to you. Sirius helped me think up writing this letter and this is where I am, writing to you. Again SORRY. I feel stupid and I hate us not talking. I would never do anything like that Lily. I hope you can forgive me and that we will talk again. I know this is just a stupid misunderstanding. I love you Lily.
With Love,
James
P.S. Open the Locket!
