She's a rebel

She's a saint

She's a salt

Of the earth and she's dangerous

"She's a rebel" Greenday

Like Lily

Chapter Three

If there were two words to describe Lily Evans, they would be tomboy and rebel. She hadn't always been a rebel and a tomboy though. Even though she had always been interested in sport, you couldn't exactly call her a rebel.

It was weird, the way she went from a happy-go-lucky little girl dressed in pink to a sport obsessed tomboy dressed in green.

All people knew was that the real Lily Evans was still inside her somewhere. She changed when she was around seven, about the same time her friend James Potter moved away.

All of a sudden she threw herself into sport, and took up netball, ice skating, soccer, hockey, baseball, softball, diving, trampolining, ice hockey, karate, Tai Quan Do, basketball, rugby, fencing, archery, rock climbing, kickboxing and obviously skateboarding. She became a completely different person.

As an eleven year-old Lily hopped down the shiny oak stairs, she noticed that the room was oddly quiet.

Picking a piece of lint of her dark green military jacket decorated with some band badges, she saw a sparkling glint near the couch. She gasped as she realized what was behind the couch. There, lying dead was her mum.

Her thirty five year old red headed blue-eyed mum. The mum that always stuck by her through everything. Carefully she walked a couple metres past her mum where she found a butchers knife.

Lily's mum had had bipolar disease since as long as Lily could remember, and probably before that. One day she could be happy and like she was on drugs; the next she couldn't get out of bed and found the easiest things difficult. Around the time Lily was five her mum started getting suicidal thoughts and was admitted to a mental facility. Matt (Lily's dad) had to survive a year of Lily's "Where's Mummy, Daddy?" It as heartbreaking for him.

She was gone. Forever. "I won't cry" she thought, furiously blinking back the tears threatening to fall. She couldn't stand it. Quickly she grabbed her mobile and skateboard.

Running out the door one tear fell and slid down her cheek. Quickly pushing down her board she weaved her way down the street, avoiding random people on a morning walk.

Suddenly Lily couldn't hold it any more. The tears fell freely, obscuring her vision. It didn't matter. All that mattered was her and the board.

Biting her lip in concentration, Lily skated down the street towards the skate park. Just before the park Lily's board hit a rock. Crashing down on the hard concrete she felt the skin on her knee split.

"Ouch" she winced. That hurt. No one was around. "I guess I'm just gonna have to rough it" thought Lily. Painfully she straightened up her knee and stood up, grabbing her purple and green board at the same time. "It's not all that bad, just a scratch" commented Lily to herself, inspecting the wound that had blood gushing down her leg.

"Hey Lils" yelled Sirius Black, Lily's newly appointed best friend. "Wow, what the hell happened to your bloody knee?" asked Sirius, noticing the giant cut on Lily's knee. "It's just a scratch" replied Lily, brushing off the subject.

Sirius Black. Lily's best friend is well, kinda hard to explain. Let's start with the looks. His black shaggy hair was about earlobe length and his dark eyes are sort of like a puppy dogs. Considering he was only eleven, Sirius was pretty hot. But of course, Lily didn't noticed, she was too busy watching the football, or playing sport. He'd only just met Lily two weeks before when she'd moved to Chelsea, in South-Western London but they were already best friends. He loved sport, like Lily.

"C'mon Lils, lets go back to your house" coaxed Sirius. "Fine, fine" grumbled Lily. They dawdled back to Lily's house talking about sport and the stupid things that they'd done.

Lily reached the doorway and noticed a letter sitting on the doormat. As she bent over to pick it up she noticed the funny crest, made of wax, sealing the envelope.
"$h!#, Lily you're a witch" exclaimed Sirius, sounding incredibly amazed. "God Siri, I'm not that bad" Lily replied, extremely annoyed that Sirius just called her that. "Erm Lily, I didn't mean it that way" Sirius tried to explain uncomfortably.

"As in, literally? Sirius, you know that witches don't exist. I haven't believed in them since I was four" Lily tried to explain calmly, exasperated at her obviously insane friend. "Seriously, they are real, trust me" he replied. Lily sighed and looked at him pitifully. "Prove it then".

There we go, another chappy. This story is starting to become more angsty than I originally thought and I've had to edit a lot of things. Hmmm… Mainly that scene where Lily finds her dead mum. I as originally going to have her dad die but I decided against it. Should I make her dad abusive or her sister or no one? Tell me in your review. Just remember that they won't be physically abusive, just mentally. Right now I'm thinking her sister or no one. Hmmm…

kels Yeah, the things that happened in the dream did actually happen. It was basically a flashback/memory in dream form.

Cookies and rocky road for anyone that reviews.

P.S the cookies and rocky road are all a bribe and figment of my imagination.
