Hello everyone. I have finished Chapter 17, and I am very happy with what I have ended up with. I hope you all like it a lot. I am going to begin another fanfic soon, but I am going to still stay loyal to this. Thanks to all you who keep reviewing and enjoy the chapter:

Chapter 17- Really?

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

"So, how are things going?" Bridget asked.

"Fine," I answered.

Here it comes

"Not those things, the other things…………you and James," she answered.

I knew it.

"I've officially given up," I said

And here it comes again

"Why?" she asked after a moment's silence.

"Because, I just, I just don't know, he seems to have given up, so maybe I should to,"

"What if he didn't give up?" Bridget asked.

Well I don't want to find out if he did or not. Then we would have to talk and I-I can't, it……..I can't.

"He has, I know it," I retorted.

"Ok, ok, fine, but have you gone into your bedroom lately," she said.

NO

"What does my bedroom have-"

"Just go into your bedroom and check the bed," she said and hurriedly sped off.

Check the bed. How does that help? I thought as I trudged into the common room.

Oh, they better not all be waiting there trying to make me and James get back together……..Ok maybe they won't be. But something weird is going on….. Whats this? I thought and picked up and envelope on my bed and read it, and then reread it. Then I grabbed the locket and opened it.

That's so sweet, Lily and James Forever……of course he is the only one in the picture, no here I come, I seem happy and so does James……Oh no, oh no, oh no…….I dumped him for no reason, I am a jerk, a horrid evil rotten person who no one should ever talk to again. He must hate me. Oh NO……….What am I going to do? I thought and fell onto my bed.

"Shh, you're gonna wake her," someone whispered.

Well you already did

"No I wont, I just want to see if she read the letter," said a voice like Sarah's.

You did

"Of course she did, why else would she be holding it," Paige said.

"I might've not read it," I said defensively.

"Ahh!" Sarah screamed.

"Nice and we know you did," Bridget said.

"Sorry reflex……"Sarah muttered.

Every time she says that

"Sure," Paige answered her.

"So…will you talk to James?" Sarah asked.

"I want to…."

"But," Bridget said lazily.

"But, I think it's too late," I answered.

"It is NOT too late; why else would he have written that?" Sarah questioned.

Maybe because someone made him……….

"Well…"

"Talk to him," Paige said.

"NOW!" Bridget said and pushed me up.

"Maybe in-"I started

"Go!" Sarah replied and nudged me towards the door.

Oh no….

"But I'm not even dressed!" I shouted as they pushed me out.

"Here," Paige said and threw me some clothes.

"Now Go!" Bridget yelled.

What have I gotten myself into?

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

"Do you think she got the letter? Maybe it wasn't obvious enough……." I said.

"It's fine, I know she got it," Sirius answered.

How do you know? What did you do sneak into her room in the middle of the night and see if the letter was open?

"Don't act like I'm crazy, you and I both know she did," he replied,

"But, what if she still hates me after she reads it? What if she thinks I'm making it up, what I am gonna do then?" I asked.

"I don't know James, how about you go and think about something other that Lily and the letter for a few minutes, a few seconds even, you're going mad."

Well not completely mad, just a little mad……..

"I'm going for a walk………" I replied.

"Sure, a "walk" don't "accidentally" run into Lily," Sirius answered sarcastically.

I'll won't, at least, not on purpose.

Where is she? Wait, stop thinking about her. Just think about something else……potions….Lily's great at potions. I wonder where she is. I'm doing it again, clear the mind…talk to someone…….anyone……..

"Remus!" I called.

"James, hey," he answered.

Who's behind him?

"You know Lily," he said and pulled Lily in front of him.

Don't leave.

"Well, would you look at the time, Sorry, must go," he said and quickly ran off.

Ok James calm down.

"Umm, w-would you like to go talk somewhere more, um, private," I asked.

"Sure," she whispered.

Ok, where to go, dungeons? No, to eerie. Common room? To crowded. Empty corridor……..

"Here ok," I asked stopping at a bench.

"Ok," Lily answered and sat down.

Ok, breathe and then

"Sorry," we said at the same time.

"No, I am supposed to be sorry Lily, you did nothing. I was jerk, I tried to push you to talk when you didn't want to," I replied.

"No, I'm the one who should be sorry. You tried to explain, but I was just pushing away,"

"No, I am the one who started this whole thing. If I hadn't tried so hard to find the perfect locket,"

"James, I started it I jumped to conclusions and I just should've talked to you first," Lily said.

"I really still want to be friends," I answered after a while. "I have missed you a lot, Lily."

"I've missed you to…………,"

Oh no, she has a boyfriend……here comes the but

"But……"

"Oh, I understand, I should've known you might've found someone else…….it's ok really," I said and stood up.

"NO! Please don't," Lily replied.

What? Your not…..

"I don't have a boyfriend,"

"Then why-"I started.

"I don't want to be "just friends". I want things to go back to…."

"To what?"

"I want to get back together you idiot!" she shouted.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yes!" Lily yelled.

"Really?"

"Is that all you can say?" she questioned.
"Well-"I started, but she came over and kissed be before I had a chance to talk.

"Really?" I asked another time

"Oh shut up," she replied and we kissed again.
