Okay hi sorry for the lack of update lately. My beta is still MIA :/ so well here's chapter 15. I'm still searching for a song for the title as we speak and I'm in psychology class. I'm thinking some Marianas Trench? Hmmm? Maybe... well anyways enjoy :)

How did you- James I… I missed you." I say stuttering trying to get out what I really want to say.

"I'm coming to get you." I shook my head still starring into his eyes as his eyebrows lift slighjtly in concern.

"But it's Christmas Eve."

He shook his head biting his lip. "You need me. I'll see you within the hour." I nodded as his face disappeared leaving me holding a shard of mirror with no reflection but my own. I packed all my stuff and put the mirror in my pocket before going downstairs.

"Mum, dad I'm leaving." Dad stood up fists clenched.

"No you are not! It's Christmas Eve." He said his voice slowly rising. I shrugged and he grabbed me by the throat pushing me against the wall behind me.

"You don't leave unless I say you can."

A loud BANG filled the room and dad was thrown backwards against the bookshelf. "Lily!" James rushed towards me and pulled me into his arms grasping the back of my head.

"Come on James grab Lily's trunk for her." James nodded unhappily and left me downstairs starring in disbeliefat my father. "It was only a simple stunning spell.

"You monster! She deserved it! She's such a stuck up bitch to everyone. She's a misfit; mum just had to sleep around!" I looked at Petunia stunned, I'd never heard about mom sleeping around. Mum starred at petunia in shock as everyone else starred at me.

"Mum…you slept around?"

"Why else would we hate you? You're a constant reminder of your scum father. I met your father afterwards."

"Come on Lily." James said grabbing my arm and pulling me outside. His dad put a charm so my trunk flew after us as we mounted the broomsticks. I got on behind James and buried my head in his back inhaling the scent of him, of home.

We landed in front of a small yellow house and James took my hand leading me towards the door. A women with long brown hair stood at the entry looking quite anxious as if waiting for our arrival. "Hi, you must be Lily, it's so nice to meet you." I smiled as she pulled me into a hug and I stood tense for a moment before wrapping my arms around her.

"Come on I made homemade cookies." I smiled as James' father disappeared upstairs and James took my hand leading me through the living room into a kitchen.

He pulled a chair out for me at the island and I sat down taking a cookie tentatively from the plate in front of me. "James told us that his girlfriend needed help so I figured you'd appreciate cookies. They always made James feel better when he was upset. " I smiled thanking her and she smiled at me.

"I also went out and bought a few things for under the tree. A bit last minute but it was no trouble." I looked at her confused and James laughed quietly.

"She means Christmas presents."

"Oh no, no, no. You didn't have to do that."

"It was no problem hun." Warmth filled my insides and I smiled, I'd never been called hun before.

"Anyways you two should hit the hay. Lily I imagine your trunk is in James' room. You can just sleep on the cot in there." I nodded and James led me from the kitchen up the stairs into his room. The walls were filled with quiditch posters and bands he enjoyed.

It suited him, it truly was James.

I went into the bathroom that was off of James' room and put on pajamas before looking in the mirror realizing how bad I truly looked. Below my nose was caked with blood and my face was different shades of yellow. I could see why James had been worried. I cleaned up before going back into his room and sitting on the cot.

He smiled at me and pulled me into his arms kissing my hair. "Go to sleep love." I nodded lying down closing my tired eyes.

I woke up in the middle of the night after a nightmare shocked, scared and not recognizing my surroundings. "Lily?" I sat up and went to James' bed climbing in beside him. "You okay?"

"Nightmare." He nodded wrapping his arms around me and I buried my head in his chest going back to sleep. "Go to sleep love. You're safe now." He whispered in my ear before I fell into sleep's clutches.

Okay so now we know why Lily's family hates her. Anyways sorry if it's unrealistic to you. But if you want to contradict me or voice your opinion go for it but seriously I've had a horrible day and don't want to deal with what I consider bitchiness. So please just shove it. It's going to get written and updated whether you enjoy it or not.
