I am sorry it took me so long to update, but we got a new computer: a Compaq Presario and it doesn't have a floppy disc drive, so chapter fifteen was currently unavailable to access. I decided; why not just rewrite the chappie so I will. Wednesday was my fourteenth birthday and this computer was a family gift. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this! P.s: Can you BELIEVE these hurricanes?

Wake Me Up

A stream of magical sunshine poured through the room, waking a young girl from her dreamful slumber. It was Saturday, about a week and two days since James' accident. The thought still haunted her. And every minute he laid still, she pondered when she would see his face full of life again.

She strode out of bed and pulled out her outfit of choice for the day. A peasant shirt with a cute Indian design and a brown little tie, along with a pair of blue jean American styled bell-bottoms. (Remember, it's the seventies!) After getting ready, she left her room for breakfast.

The Great Hall was buzzing with life. Lily spotted Sirius, Remus and Peter at Gryffindor table where they were talking to a group of young girls. Lily smiled and stepped toward them. She sat down, causing Remus to tear his attention from the girls to notice her.

"Good morning, Lily." he said, smiling cheerfully. Lily smiled back. The girls they were talking too seemed deep in what Peter had to say. They had been talking about James, but a young girl with honey suckle brown hair was more absorbed in staring at Sirius. Lily giggled mentally. Some girls still couldn't get over the fact that Sirius had settled with a girl, much less a girl like Drusella.

But Lily had to admit, next to James, Sirius was very attractive. He had short dark hair that fell over his eyes, and a charming grin. He looked right in the pair of blue muggle jeans and black muscle tee. It was no surprise that he was still constantly fawned over. After all, James still had guests in his side of the Hospital Wing that was packed with adoring girls. But at least they had the sense not to ask him out. James had been looking to Lily since third year. But this girl.............

"Hey, Sirius. Hogs Meade trips are coming up for Valentines Day soon. Would you join me?" Lily could have sworn she saw him roll his eyes. But instead of harassing her for even thinking about it, he smiled kindly and denied.

"Sorry, Cher. I promised Dru we'd hang out. Or better yet, I begged her to come with Me." he laughed well naturedly. Something he hadn't done since the accident. Lily smiled. It was good he was happy and getting back on track. Even if James hadn't come to yet. Cher had a look of disappointment cast on her face, but chose it smart not to say anything.

Just as Peter finished saying something about a visit to his grandmother's house, a pretty girl walked up to their table. Sirius smiled and she smiled in return. She handed Remus a thick brown book that was entitled, 'World of Science'. Clearly a muggle book.

"Thanks Drusella. My grades in Muggle Studies." Said Remus smiling. Drusella nodded and walked back toward her table. After a lovely breakfast, the four headed back to the Gryffindor tower. Lily decided to visit Marquisha, Rini and Alishea.

However, they didn't get very far before Madam Promfry called to them. There was a great smile on her face and she beamed with excitement.

"Ah, my good children. James has finally awakened. I believe it is time for you to visit him." She said. Lily squealed and the three boys' eyes lit up. They raced toward the Hospital Wing, Sirius nearly knocking over a first year.

They barged in to see the black haired boy sitting wide awake in his bed.

"James!"

"Prongs!"

James stared at them, a look of confusion across his face.

"What's going on? Why am I here?" he asked. His voice shaken.

"You tried to.........hurt yourself, James...." Lily whispered. James looked at her incredulously.

"I know what I did. I just don't understand why I'm still here." Said he, looking quite disappointed.

"Come on Prongs. Stop acting like some morbid, twisted, psycho." Peter stammered. James grunted angrily.

Lily turned to look at Madam Promfry, and said in a very cool voice,

"Madam, what is wrong with James?" The Madam didn't answer right away.

"I believe the thoughts of death still haunt him. Give him time. He'll eventually will pull through." Lily gasped. The fact that he tried to kill himself was enough. But, he really WANTED it? That was too much.

She burst into tears.

James sat in silence, only staring at what was going on. But he chose to speak, when Lily started her water works.

"Hey, Lils. Stop crying." He said. Lily just continued to weep.

"Come on, Lily. Stop it." Lily looked down at him. His brow was furred and he looked as though he were truly sorry.

"Hey, Sirius. We ought to leave Lily to James. We'll be back." Said Remus. Sirius looked at him questionably but nodded and followed him out the hall. Peter took one more look at James, and scurried out the door.

"James. Why'd you do it?" she asked, after it was only her and James in the room. He shook slightly, giving Lily the impression that he couldn't understand either.

"I got mad." He said. Lily scoffed. Getting mad was no reason to try to commit suicide. Lame excuse.

"Oh, come on, James. You and I both know there's more to this then anger. Was it something I did........or said?'' James didn't answer.

"Am I horrible? Am I not what you expected?" She tried again.

James shook his head violently.

"Of course not, Lily!" He cried. A small smiled found its way to her lips.

"Well, then what was it? You need to tell me, if you really love me." She said, deciding not to play fairly.

"I love you, Lily. But what my problem is shouldn't have to rest on your shoulders." He said meekly.

"Peter believes you did it because you're worried about hurting Me." She said softly. His eyes trialed over her face.

"Peter said that?'' he asked. Lily nodded. James laughed lightly.

"That's Peter for you. Always assuming the correct things. It's a shame he doesn't put that talent educationally." Lily laughed too. He loved to hear her laugh. So soft and sweet.

"James. I've missed you so much." She whispered. James frowned. She shouldn't have missed him. This wasn't right. He was supposed to die. She was supposed to be happy; she was supposed to live a life of peace.

"You're my world, James. Even if I've been a total bitch the past few years, you're still my everything." James didn't know exactly what to say.

"Your mine. The world. I'd love you Lily, even if you didn't love me. I'm sorry I brought you pain and suffering. Trust me, I never intended it. I miss you when you're not near me. I miss you everyday." He said. Lily smiled.

"I'll love you for always and forever." She whispered.

I'm sorry for this chapter to be so short, but I'm sick and I can't think straight. Anyways, I hope you liked it. I wasn't sure what to write. I need some inspiration to finish 'Romeo and Juliet Lied' so write to me at and send me your ideas.
