-1Everybody's' Fool by EVANESCENCE
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
Lilly evens dances at another Gryffindor party. Even with all the people pressed against her, she still feels so alone…
-:-
Perfect
by nature
icons of self indulgence
-:-
They all think she's perfect, she's not. This façade, the mask she wears hide who she is. No one has ever really loved Lilly Evens, and no one ever will.
-:-
just
what we all need
more lies about a world that
-
never
was and never will be
have you no shame don't you see me
you
know you've got everybody fooled
-:-
She walks into class and no heads turn, they won't until she puts her mask back on. In this life she weaves a tangled web of lies. No one would ever see her for more than a way into the 'inner circle' of the Hogwarts 'in' crowd.
-:-
look
here she comes now
bow down and stare in wonder
oh how we love
you
no flaws when you're pretending
-:-
She
sits with all the fakers that she love her, all the ones she molded
her mask and lies after…if they only knew. And as the class starts
she to busy coming up with notes that she doesn't feel the knowing
eyes shining at her. It doesn't even faze her when after class
James Potter wanted to talk to her. He was one of the cuter boys in
7th year…
-:-
But now I know…
-:-
Lilly walked out of class and met up with James, It was lunch and Lilly didn't feel hungry so when James asked her if they could go for a walk she thought nothing of it…little did she know.
The started walking around the lake talking about nothing Lilly wanted to talk about. After about ten minutes James stopped and placed his hand firmly on Lilly shoulder. She yelped in pain, the gash on her arm wasn't fully better after winter break, and that ended on Saturday, (this now being Monday).
"Lilly what's the matter?" James looked from Lilly's green eyes to her arm and back again.
-:-
She
Never
was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and
somehow you've got everybody fooled
-:-
"Oh I just…just cut myself" Lilly lied like she always did.
James pulled back on Lily's robes so you could see her shoulder. "Please d-don't do this…" Lilly could feel the tears form in her eyes. He lifted up the sleeve of her tee-shirt slowly only to see a long red line that ran from the middle of her arm all the way to the base of her neck. He said nothing even as Lilly's mask fell to the ground and shattered.
"Lilly who d-"
"I don't want to talk about it…"
-:-
without
the mask where will you hide
can't find yourself lost in your lie
-:-
She
always went home on break, but not because she wanted to. Her father
insisted, after all the entire school year was to long for his
punching bag to be gone… and all theses years Lilly hid the burns
and burses from her 'friends' and pretended she was OK. This was
the way things were supposed to be…this is how they always would
be. And nothing could change that.
James
didn't say anything more; he just pulled her into a hug as she let
her tears fall. Whispering comforting words to her. "It's ok you
don't have to hide anymore."
-:-
I
know the truth now
I know who you are
it never was and
never will be
you're not real and you can't save me
somehow now
you're everybody's fool
-:-
As Lilly fell asleep in the grass next to James as he kissed her forehead. "You can't save me from loving you Lilly…I've already have." And with that the shards of Lillys mask floated to the bottom of the lake, along with all her lies.
