Chapter 10 Aftermath: Part Two

Lily had dark circles under her unusually dull green eyes. Tear tracks ran down her cheeks and were as clear as day and night on her face. Her hair was disarrayed and clothes, wrinkled. In all, she looked like shit, but you would too, if you went through what she went through the same thing as her.

"Lily? How long have you been up?" Ally asked cautiously.

"All night." Lily answered dully, not looking at the or blinking.

"All night?" Dasani's eyes popped out of her head. Lily simply nodded.

"You're going to kill yourself! Look at yourself! You haven't eaten, you haven't slept, you haven't done anything but sit there!" Dasani yelled. Lily didn't even flinch.

"Dasani, clam down." Allison tried.

"CALM DOWN? CALM DOWN? Ally, look at her! She look like-well, to be blunt-crap. She probably didn't sleep a wink last night, or eat since lunch break at work yesterday or take any more potion." She vented. Ally shook her head.

"We'll let James deal with it. She's excused from work for a week. An owl just came. Come on, we have to go to work." Ally told. Dasani calmed down and agreed. She allowed her friend to lead her out of the room.

••••••••••• With James and Sirius Later that Day

"How do you think Lil'flower is doing?" Sirius asked.

"I don't really know. When I walked her home last night, she was like a different witch. It wasn;t my Lily walking with me. My Lily seemed dead, gone..." James trailed off.

"Come on, mate. We'll see her when we pick them up for the cinema." Sirius said. "For now, lets get home. I'm starved."

"When are you not?" James asked, grinning slightly.

"When Mrs. P cooks." Sirius answered simply. "Her cooking is awesome. I'm never hungry afterwards."

"I know." He replied.

"Where have you been?" Remus asked when they got home.

"At work?" James said.

"Work ended for you at 6:30." Remus said. "it's now 7:15." Remus told.

"So what?" Sirius asked.

"The girls owled to say the film starts at 7:45 sharp!" Remus said holding up boxes of Chinese take out. James and Sirius looked at each other for a split second and immediately grabbed the box and the three of them ate a hurried dinner.

"Any word about Lil?" Remus asked.

"No." James answered. Remus shot him a sympathetic look.

"We'll see her as soon as we apparate to the girls' flat." Remus said.

"Then let's get going." They disapparated.

•••••••••• Dasani, Allison and the Boys in the Girls' living Room

"Hey guys." Dasani greeted, kissing Sirius' cheek.

"Hey." Remus replied kissing Ally's shoulder from behind her.

"Where's Lily?" James asked, fear building up inside him.

"In her room." Ally replied quietly, suddenly very interested in her shoes.

"Dammit!" James cursed, heading for her room.

"LILY!" James knocked on her door. "I'm coming in!" he informed. He opened the door and the sight that met him almost tore him apart. Lily didn't look like Lily. That was all that there was to it.

"Flower?" he asked approaching the girl he loved. "Have you done anything today?" Lily was in the same position she was in when Dasani and Allison found her, but James didn't know that.

"No, not really." She croaked. Her voice was dry and empty of emotion. James sat down next to her on the window seat. He saw the circles under her eyes and the pillow in her hands.

"How was your night?" he asked. She still hadn't even looked at him.

"Good." She lied. Her eyes stayed focused at the world outside her window.

"You're lying." He narrowed his eyes. She didn't answer. James growled. He wouldn't let her kill herself like this.

"LILLIAN SERENITY EVANS!" he started. He saw Lily jump. He saw the pillow being hugged to her body. He ripped the pillow from her, but Lily held on, causing him to pull her to him too. "Jet go, Lily!"

"NO!" Lily cried. This was the first time she had raised her voice since last night.

"What is so important about this pillow, Lils? Let it go!" James ordered. He was finally able to rip it from her hands. He turned the pillow around and realization dawned upon him with one glance at it.

On the pillow was a picture of a 7 year old Lily, and her family.

"Lily." James began. Lily was still laying on his lap from the struggle for her pillow.

"Give me my pillow, Jay." She pleaded.

"No!" James refused. Lily broke down. "You are going to sleep, Lily, whether I have to give you a potion or not!"

"I won't." she contradicted.

"And why the hell not?" he asked, grabbing her shoulders.

"Because every time I close my eyes, all I see are my parents! All I see is them laying in their old room, dead. All I see is them laying in the tent with all the other dead bodies. THAT'S ALL I SEE!" Lily cried. At this, James put his arms around Lily and rubbed her back, whispering in her ear. Sirius, Remus, Allison and Dasani ran into the room when they heard Lily yell.

The sight that met them was one of Lily crying into James' chest with his arms wrapped securely around her. (A/N: awe! How sweet can he get?)

"What's that, Lily?" Remus asked, referring to the letter sitting where Lily was once sitting. Lily quickly got up and snatched it from plain view.

"It's nothing." She lied, folding the piece of paper up and going to put it in her pocket.

"Bull shit." Allison said. James, from behind Lily, snatched the letter from her and tossed it to Sirius.

"Hey! Give it bac-"Lily fainted. The five of them looked at the red headed witch sprawled on the floor. James sighed.

"At least she can't accuse us of giving her a Sleeping Drought." He deduced as he carried his fiancée to her bed.

"You can stay with her tonight, James. She'll need it. Just like you said, she needs you." Dasani said. Sirius and the others nodded in agreement and James agreed as well. James tossed the letter Lily had been hiding from them to James.

"We'll let you read it first."

"Okay. You guys don't have to stay home. You can still catch the next showing. I don't want to ruin your time out." James said.

"Nah, we're going to head over to our place. We'll just pop in a few movies, if you know which ones I'm talking about!" Sirius raised his eyebrows, smiling suggestively. Dasani and Allison saw this and Remus grinned in amusement.

"I'm hearing ya, Sirius." He grinned.

"NO! We are not watching Scream! We can watch a different movie!" Dasani and Ally could be heard arguing with Sirius and Remus respectively all the way down to the fireplace to floo.

Hey! So sorry about the delay but my teachers think it's cool to load us with tests and homework since it's now the fourth week of school. What happened to all of my reviewers? Please tell me if I should continue with this story or not...thanks! Before I post the next chapter (which is already written) I would like to have at least 7 reviews. I WILL not post before that unless it's six reviews or something close to seven give or take a few reviews. Please tell me if you want more Remus/Ally action, Sirius/Dasani action, Frank/Alice action or my very favorite JAMES/LILY action.

Poll of the Update:

Should James and Lily's Wedding be postponed after Lily's bout of depression?

yes....I think they need more time to plan

no - get on with the wedding and Harry!

I think it should be postponed but the story should skip a few months to make it go by faster-I want some action!

I have my own idea, You might find it useful...(in this one please explain in a review)

Please tell me what letter you want and also, along with the letter choice, put what the choice was...I'll tally up the marks and get back to you. This poll will stand for the next month or two.

Remember to press that button on the bottom left hand corner of the screen that says 'go' and review! Love ya,

Toodles!
