A/N : Hey guys. I know that I haven't updated my other story in a while, but I really just haven't been able to think up a proper ending! So I got some inspiration to write this short little one shot to tie you all over. Hope you like it! :]
Discalmer : I do not own the characters, for they belong to the wonderful JK Rowling. As for the lyrics, they aren't mine either, but rather Hellogoodbye's.
I like where we are
when we drive in your car
I like where we are
here.
Lily ran quickly down the halls of Hogwarts. Her mind was completely erased of all the rules that she was breaking. All she knew was that if she didn’t find James soon, it would be too late.
She made a sharp left and stopped. She was now breathing heavily, about 100 feet from the guy she was in search of. He was looking straight ahead at the portrait leading to the Head’s common room. His hazel eyes were staring fixedly at the painting rather than Lily who was now walking slowly toward him.
"James," she said timidly once she was closer to him. He took one glance at her, hazel mixing with green, before he quickly gave the password and jumped into the common room.
Lily flinched at his sudden move, but she swiftly followed him inside. "James," she repeated, this time more forcefully as he was just about to enter his dorm.
"What Lily?" he asked her, his voice cold.
She tried to soften her voice as much as she could. "James, about what just happened —"
But he cut her off. "What Lily?! What could you possibly need to tell me now? I finally got the message loud and clear!"
Lily jumped at his outburst. "You have to let me explain," she told him, her voice frightened.
He moved quickly across the room so that he was right in front of her. "Well?" he demanded of her. She, however, seemed to be momentarily speechless. Getting frustrated, James grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her slightly. "Dammit Lily! What is it?!"
Lily, now had small tears coming from her eyes. She looked up into James’s shining ones, and took a deep breath.
Cause our lips can touch,
And our cheeks can brush
Cause our lips can touch
Here.
"It’s just... I thought you were different James Potter! All this year I’ve actually liked you! And then you have to go and be a bloody prick!" She was had forgotten all fear that he had injected in her just moments before. She looked up at James who was still staring down at her with hard, shining eyes. His face was set, and his grip had not loosened.
More tears poured down Lily’s face, but they were now out of frustration. "You went straight back to how you acted in 5th year. I’m sorry if I embarrassed you in front of all you friends and fans but you deserved it!"
James seemed to have forgotten the hard facade he was attempting to wear. His grip loosened on Lily’s shoulders. Lily looked into his eyes where the tears seemed to shine more brightly than ever before.
Well you are the one, the one who lies close to me
Whispers ‘hello, I missed you quite terribly’
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there’s no place else I could be but here in your arms.
"Maybe Lily," James finally spoke, his voice quivering, "I love you so much that I can’t help but make a show of it. Did you ever think of that?"
Lily shook her head slowly, her mouth hanging open, not taking her eyes off his. She had never stopped to consider that he really did love her.
"No, of course you didn’t." he said, and before Lily knew it, he let go of her and moved swiftly across the room to his dorm.
"Wait," Lily called out to him, her voice sounding far away, even to her own ears.
James paused at his door, one hand on the knob. "I’m done waiting, Lily," he told her, and just before he vanished into his room, Lily saw one tear fall down his face.
Lily stared at his door for what seemed like forever before running into her own room to collapse on her bed. She felt her body crumble as she rocked back and forth, tears spilling freely from her eyes. She knew James had liked her, but never realized that he actually loved her. And she knew, that deep down, she liked him too. But it’s too late, she thought, her whole body giving another heave. He no longer wants me. Her crying grew angry and she weakly punched the pillows lying on her bed. Why did he have to act so stupid tonight? Why’d he have to put on such a show??
I like where you sleep
When you sleep next to me
I like where you sleep
Here.
She laid on her bed, weeping softly for some time before she realized what she needed to do. She didn’t know if it was the right time, her feelings were in such a mess, but she knew she had to do it.
She got up off her bed, surprised at how weak she was. She slowly shuffled to a mirror, and saw the horrific appearance of her puffy red eyes, red nose, and tousled hair. Her hands were shaking as she ran them through her deep red locks. Lily sighed but left her room anyways. She walked over to James’s door and without knocking walked straight in.
The appearance of the messy room was not surprising, and Lily completely ignored it. She had her eyes set on the man who was lying on the bed in the middle of the room, staring at the ceiling in only a pair of loose pants. He jumped at the sound of Lily coming in, and hastily tried to wipe away something on his face.
"Lily please," he said in an exhausted voice, but stopped when he noticed her appearance. He sighed and ran a hand through his raven black hair.
Lily opened her mouth to say something, but closed it quickly again, feeling more tears run down her face. Once he was in front of her, he could think of nothing to do but envelop her in a tight embrace.
Lily collapsed in his arms, sobbing into his bare chest. "James," she kept saying, but did not continue. And James said nothing. It had been barely an hour and he was still hurt from what she said. But he just couldn’t help but feel bad when a girl cried.
They stood like that for what seemed like forever, Lily just crying, and James just holding her.
After she calmed down, she slowly rose her eyes to meet his. "I’m so sorry James," she whispered to him. "Please forgive me." James stared down at her with analyzing eyes, not saying anything.
"I really like you," she told him. She saw James think for a moment, and then watched his eyes soften as he lowered himself down to her height and captured her lips in a soft kiss.
Our lips can touch
our cheeks can brush
Cause our lips can touch
Here.
Lily smiled against his lips, overjoyed that he did not reject her. The kiss only lasted for a few moments before James pulled away, grinning for the first time that evening.
"You have no idea how long I’ve been dying to do that," he breathed.
She grinned shyly up at him before turning sober. "I really am sorry, James. I like you so much."
James nodded his head. "I know you do," he told her.
She smiled. It took a few moments before either one of them realized they were still in a tight hug. "Wanna go back to your dorm?" James asked Lily gently.
He felt her grip him a little tighter. "No," she told him in a small voice.
He looked puzzled at first, but then grinned widely. "You wanna stay here for the night?" he asked her, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
Lily scowled at him. "No like that I don’t," she said, pulling away slightly.
He nodded his head. "Come on," he said, leading her over to his bed. "You can stay with me; I won’t pull anything."
She grinned at him before slipping off her robes and jeans so that she was left in just her t-shirt and underwear.
James resisted the temptation to say something. He just climbed into the bed and waited for Lily to slip in next to him.
Lily got in next to James, a little unsure of what she was doing. But she knew that she really did like James, and he would never take advantage of her.
Feeling more relaxed after thinking through everything, Lily moved in closer to James until she was comfortably resting with her head against his chest... her entire body in his arms.
And you are the one, the one who lies close to me,
Whispers ‘Hello, I missed you quite terribly"
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly,
Now there’s no where else I could be but here in your arms.
