Some good storylines though coming up so….never fear! ;) lol. Alright well James reaches a low point in this chapter so hop on to the James Potter rollercoaster and enjoy the ride! Lol Talk 2 ya:)
"Oh good morning James." Lily said cynically sitting up in bed. James rubbed his eyes tiredly as he said….."Hey good morning sweetheart. How are you?" He asked stretching. Lily crossed her arms as she replied……"Well I am god but you don't deserve to be."
"What…..?" James asked confusedly. He began to sit up and search for his glasses.
"Do you remember that we have a son? He is about five foot six, wears glasses……looks like actually come to think of it……" James just shook his head as he stood up and looked at her.
"Lils what is going on with you?" She jumped out of bed, placed her hands firmly on her hips and shouted….."WHAT IS GOING WITH ME? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOU MORE LIKE! HARRY HAS LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES WITH ME ASKING YOU TO CALL HIM BACK AND YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING OF THE SORT! According to Remus he is very cut up about it…."
"Lils I have been really busy lately. You know that…." James said softly as he began to get dressed.
"That doesn't mean you can neglect your son James. You missed his first game of the season. He fell over one hundred feet during the game and where were you? In some dingy little office……"
"He fell off his broom!" James shouted in exasperation.
"Yes he did. Then it took flight into the whomping willow so you know if you wanted……I am sure Harry wouldn't mind letting you use the remains of it for fire wood…."
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME HE FELL?" He shouted angrily.
"Oh I see because he fell now you care but if he didn't you wouldn't be so bothered? Have I got that right James?"
"Oh don't be stupid…." James said irritably as he stormed past her and out into the landing.
"Oh so now I'm stupid? Well this just gets better and better" Lily shouted following him down the stairs. As she got to the last step, James turned around, putting up his hands briefly as he said…..
"Lily please……..I don't need this right now."
"Well I am pretty sure that Harry didn't need to fall off his broom yesterday or to suddenly have an estranged father!" James was in the kitchen making coffee. He turned around and said…..
"Harry does not have an estranged father!"
"Oh seriously ya? Well let me ask you this then James. When was the last time you spoke to Harry? How about the last time you hugged him or told him how much he means to you……" James stormed over to her hearing enough.
"WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP BEFORE I SHUT YOU UP YOU IRRITATING TART!"
Lily went weak at the knees as she pulled out the nearest kitchen chair and sat down, one hand covering her mouth. All the blood drained from James face as he looked down at Lily. Tears were running down her face and she had a terrified look in her eyes. For the first time in her life she was actually afraid of him.
"You…..you were going to hit me weren't you?" She asked barely able to breathe.
"Lily…..Lily please I am so sorry darling please……"James stuttered as he knelt down in front of her placing his hands on her knees. She stared at him in disgust and betrayal.
"Please just go James……"
"What…..baby please come on…..its me….."
"I don't know who you are anymore James….."
"Aww Lily please don't say that…..please……I love you….."He said caressing her face when she jumped up and shouted.
"DON'T TOUCH ME! James please just go….just go James please….."
He looked at her apologetically as he slowly left. Lily broke down in tears at the table when Arielle arrived. She stood in the doorway as she whispered…..
"Mom…..mom what is going on? Why are you and daddy fighting?" Lily turned around with tear stained eyes and more tears coming as she said……
"Oh sweetheart…..its just a stupid mommy and daddy fight……"
"I heard everything mom. I heard you both screaming at each other. I don't like it…."
"Oh darling neither do I but…..it will be fine I promise….." Arielle now was kneeling on a chair opposite Lily looking straight at her. Lily tried to smile but Arielle knew that it was forced.
"Do you want some breakfast sweetheart?" Lily asked as she got up.
"Its okay mom…..you go and have get dressed. Ill get something myself…."
"Okay….thanks Ari…."
After Lily went upstairs Arielle ran next door to get Sirius. She found Sirius and Sharina sitting at the table with the twins having breakfast.
"Sirius…..I need your help…..please you have got to come quick…."She begged through tears. They both looked at her anxiously before Sirius got up and approached her.
"Is there something wrong with your mom Airs?" Shari asked concernedly.
"No its my dad….."
"Okay angel what happened?" Sirius asked softly as he knelt down before her.
"Oh Sirius…..he and mom had a terrible fight! She cant stop crying. I didn't know what else to do…..please Sirius. She needs you. You have to come you just have to!"
"Oh hey Shhhh Airs come on now. Its going to be alright angel its going to be alright. Shhhh…." Sirius ushered gently as he brought her into his arms. He kissed the top of her head before standing up and asking….Has James left for work?" She nodded quickly and Shari signalled for him to go next door as he looked back.
"Alright Angel come on then. Tell me where she is darling…."
"She is upstairs. When I left I told her to go up and get dressed so I assume that's what she is doing…"
"Okay….."Sirius held her hand as they went back to Lily. As they got inside they could hear someone crying upstairs. Sirius told Arielle to wait in the kitchen whilst she went and spoke to her. As he climbed the stairs, the screams were getting louder. Sirius tapped gently at the door before popping his head around the door. Lily was dressed but lying on her side facing him with tears streaming down her face. She was hysterical. Sirius closed the door gently and approached the bed. He bent down and tapped her gently.
"Lily…..hey sweetheart…..hey how are you?"
"Oh Sirius……hey…."Lily replied groggily.
"Hey…..what happened between you and James?" Sirius asked as he sat up on the bed.
"Oh….we were fighting about him not spending time with Harry and um….he really scared me Sirius…."
"How Lils?"
"……He nearly hit me….."
"WHAT…? Lily…….I……that doesn't sound like James. He would never hit you or the kids….."
"Well he tried to and um……"She started crying again….."he realised what he was about to do so he stopped and um…..he really scared me Sirius. Arielle heard everything….."
"Aww Shhhh Lils come here darling….." Sirius lay lengthways on the bed and brought Lily closer to him so her him so her head was on his chest. Sirius kept soothing her by rubbing her back or stroking her hair. Eventually her tears ceased as she muttered into his chest…..
"Thank you for being here Sirius. I really appreciate it."
"Its alright Lils." He kissed her head before massaging her back again…."Its alright Lils. James will be okay. He is just very stressed right now darling but you will see the real James back very soon…." Sirius looked down and saw that Lily had fallen asleep on top of him. He smiled before lying down himself and wrapping both arms around her to keep her warm.
An hour later Sirius was awoken by the sound of James voice downstairs asking Arielle where Lily was. He looked over at her to see that she was still asleep in his arms. James then barged into the room. He stared at Sirius looking perplexed. Sirius smiled at him but James did not.
"Sirius what the hell are you doing with my wife?" Sirius stood up and approached him.
"Oh I see that she is your wife now? A while ago she was about to become your punch bag!"
"I WOULD NEVER HIT LILY OR MY CHILDREN! HOW DARE YOU SAY SUCH A THING?"
"I AM ONLY SAYING WHAT LILY TOLD ME….."
"WELL BY THE LOOKS OF THINGS SHE HAS TOLD YOU QUITE A LOT!"
"By the looks of things? James what did you think…..oh my god you thought that I slept with her? You really do need help mate!" Sirius walked towards the door but James pulled him back.
"DON'T YOU DARE WALK AWAY FROM ME…..."
"James…..what the hell has gotten into you lately? You are acting like this psychotic maniac who cant see that he is on a very fast approaching downward spiral! Your son doesn't feel he knows you anymore, your wife is terrified of you and your daughter…..well your daughter may as well have no father the amount of time you spend with her….."James punched Sirius in the face violently, sending on his back. Sirius put his hand up to his nose and found it pumping with blood. He stared at James disbelievingly.
"Oh my god Padfoot I am so sorry mate…." Sirius stood up as he said….
"All I can is James…..I am very pleased that it was me you punched instead of Lily or Arielle. You need to sort yourself out kid. Let me know when you do….."He opened the door and hurried down the stairs.
"Sirius…..Sirius I am so sorry mate…..Sirius….." James came back into the bedroom, closed the door and slid down against it. Tears began to stream down his face as he muttered to himself……
"I am a monster….."
