AN: Well I was going to post a second chapter sooner but I didn't have any good ideas and then I was really busy with school and excuses excuses... Now the second part is finally up! I don't like the ending but it's the best I can think of (considering it's been almost a year since I wrote the first chapter). It's not quite what people are expecting I suppose...

Lily couldn't sleep. There was something nagging her, but she didn't know what. The rain pounded on the dormitory window, it felt like the window was going to shatter into a million little pieces. She tossed and turned. Why can't I fall asleep? Lily sat up. It seemed like the rain was calling to her. It was late, Lily gave up on sleeping tonight. She wanted to go for a walk, it sounded crazy, but she didn't care. She needed to get out of this room, it was driving her crazy.

Quietly, she got out of bed, and put on a sweatshirt, jeans, and an old pair of sneakers. She slipped out of the room and walked down the stairs to the Gryffindor common room. No one was there. Lily was grateful for that. She wasn't one to go out of the common room after hours. In fact, it almost felt like an out of body experience. As she made her way out of the common room and down many stairs to get to the Entrance Hall, she thought…

James Potter. He's been on her mind recently, and she slapped him yesterday. But why?

Lily was angry. She raised her arm and as it flew in the air, it collided with James' cheek. She could her the crispness of her slap. Did I slap him too hard? It's getting red awfully fast. Oh this is James frickin' Potter! It's not supposed to matter. She shook all thoughts of pitying James out of her head.

"Why would you think that I would go out with you, when I've told you a million times! NO!" Lily screamed at James. There was a crowd of people staring at the two, however, they did not notice any of these people.

James, still recovering from Lily's excruciating slap, started to explain, "Lily, it…"

And this is the part where he tries to explain, but fails miserably and just make me even more furious. "Ugh. Don't even try to explain this one! I hate you! I wish you would just die!" And with that, Lily turned on her heel and stormed away.

Looking back, Lily might have been too harsh on James. After all, she hadn't seen him since. She didn't even know why she got that upset with him. Maybe…I'm starting to like him? Lily shuddered. This can't be happening. This can't be happening. But maybe it is…

Lily arrived at the Entrance Hall, in what only seemed like a few minutes.Wow. That was surprisingly easy, I didn't get caught at all! Lily went outside and walked onto the soaking wet grass. Her shoes squeaked underneath her. The rain was pelleting down on her, making her soaked in mere seconds, making her wish that she wore a sweatshirt with a hood.

Shivering, she didn't know what to do. So she decided to walk around the castle for a few minutes, she didn't know how longer she could stand the rain, however, it felt like she craved it. Lily trudged along, her breath noticeable in the cold air. She thought more about James.

In the darkness of the night, she saw a figure fall from a tower. Before she could think, Lily pulled out her wand and muttered a spell to slow the body down. It was lucky she had her wand, but then again, they were coming into dark times and not having your wand is suicide. Lily briskly walked to the figure. She saw messy hair, round glasses. There was only one person this could be. She reached the body, it was James Potter. But why would James jump off the astronomy tower, the highest tower of Hogwarts? Luckily, Lily found a pulse. James was not dead. Lily started pacing, going over the possible reasons why James' might've jumped. Someone pushed him? He found a spell that could make you fly and was trying it out? He was trapped and that was the only way out? He wanted to die?

Lily heard a groan. She turned and found James slowly opening his eyes.

"James, er, Potter, are you okay?"

"Li…Lily, where am I?" James could only see blurred figures, seeing how the rain impaired his vision, however, he recognized Lily's voice. He would always be able to recognize that wonderful voice.

"You are on Hogwarts grounds. You fell from the Astronomy Tower. Are you okay?" Lily sat on the ground, next to him, not caring if her pants got completely soaked. James groaned.

"Damn it." James coughed and slowly made his way up into the sitting position.

"James? James, are you okay?"

"What the hell? Why am I here?"

"Er…Potter, I saw you falling and I slowed your landing…" Lily trailed off. She slowly put two and two together. "You didn't want me to save you. You wanted to…you wanted to die." Lily looked up at James. Even though it was dark and pouring rain, Lily could see that James was nodding his head. "What? Potter, er, James! Wha…why?" Tears welled up in Lily's eyes, shocked that James would even do such a thing. It seemed so peculiar that James would do such a thing.

"You hate me." Lily almost didn't catch the quiet comment.

"So you were going to kill yourself?"

"Lily, you mean the world to me. I would do anything…" James still had more to say but he just couldn't get the words out. He looked at the ground and slowly made his way into looking at Lily's beautiful green eyes. And somehow Lily understood what he was trying to say.

A final AN: Okay okay, I just couldn't kill him off. I do have a half-written version wear he does die. If anyone wants that, mention it in a review and I can PM you with it or something. Hope you enjoyed it.
