A/N Ok, so I finally got to the making of my second chapter –Dum Dum DEE DUM!- and I don't know when I will update next, it feels like I never have enough time with school and all...so I guess that's enough whining R&R xoxoxo

Lilly

I knew he was coming before I saw him. All the women forming a circle of protection around me started murmuring as soon as they saw him. I didn't want to talk to him, I wanted to slap him and throw the beautiful emerald ring at him…but I couldn't do that, at least not in front of all these people. That would ruin both him and me.

I let go of Alice and gently stood up. Good, my feet would hold me up for now. I nodded at her and with one look she broke the circle up.

I took one step and it felt like I was taking a step towards the end of my life, another step and the pain got bigger, and it carried on like that until I was standing in front of him my eyes evidently screaming with pain by the look on his face.

"Lets take a walk." I murmured, breaking the tension and silence.

"Lilly…I.." He started

"Shut up." I cut in simply.

I could tell that with that one phrase I had made a deep gash in his heart, when we got through this –if we ever did- it would take a long time for us to be like we used to be.

James

Crap, I could see that this was going to be hard. I love Lilly and the thought of what pain she must have felt –not counting the embarrassment- made me want to kill myself.

If she broke up with me now then I would never, ever be happy. She was the only one for me and I had ruined our final happiness by being such an arse. But on the other hand, if we broke up I could never hurt her anymore…oh what was I going to do?

I could see she was leading me to the bench, where –my hurt fluttered- we had shared our first kiss. Maybe that sacred place would bring us luck? Well now I just had to wait and see…

Lilly

I led him to a bench in the garden. A flashback reminded me that this was where we had kissed the first time. Would this also be the place where our paths parted and we became two whole people instead of two half's that made us a whole?

I slid down and glared at the space next to me, indicating that this was where he should sit. I could tell he was really nervous, his whole body was shaking and the pupils in his eyes shrank in fear. Was it the fear of losing me or the fear of me hurting his ego by breaking up?

Suddenly I made up my mind. I still loved him so I couldn't see him suffer. I thought of a great compromise that even I would accept if this situation was reverse.

"Look," I started cautiously, "I know that you didn't mean to do this but just admit its all your fault and then we can try to begin again…or at least postpone the wedding until we…um…decide to get married again."

I could see he was trying hard not to laugh at the last part and I tried hard not to smile too, but then the seriousness of this matter started settling in and both of our faces hardened.

"Lilly…" He sighed, "I don't know how to tell you this but, I really and truly am very, very sorry! If I had any idea that being late would lead to this then…then I would have arrived and hour early. Just in case you know. And if it helps, then I admit, it really is all my fault and I never meant to hurt you like this! I really do love you."

"I love you too Potter, I just need a break." With that I stood up and went to tell the guests that the party was over.

A/N *sniffle* *sniffle* sorry, I just had to do that, but don't worry, happy times coming up soon…I think James was really cute in this one, although his hope really made me sad!

Xoxo
