After a long breakfast filled with stories from James' father, Lily and James went outside to wait for Sirius. James sat down on the grass beneath the apple tree in front of his house and Lily soon joined him. Lily didn't know what to say really, what can you really say when you just show up on someone's doorstep un-expected. "So you just got up and left," James broke the silence with an awkward question?
"Well… not exactly," Lily tried to explain, "I guess you could say that, I did always tell my parents that one day I would leave…" Lily looked around, "Just, I didn't tell them I was leaving right this second."
James couldn't stand just watching her; he needed her with every ounce in his body. He scanned her face only to see her look regretful and upset. "Are you ok," He asked concerned as his face eased into a calm but caring face?
"Yeah," Lily whispered trying to hold back tears. He knew something was wrong and she wasn't going to tell him. She draped her arms around him and he grasped her tightly in a hug. He closed his eyes and tried to make time stop, this is perfect he thought well almost. He knew something was bothering her and the only way he could be happy was if she was happy.
"Would you two PLEASE get a room," Lily and James heard Sirius' joking voice speak.
James jerked out of Lily's arms and glared at Sirius. "Just kidding James, don't get your knickers in a knot," Sirius exclaimed. James shot up and gave Sirius the worst look imaginable. "So…" James said uncomfortable. He wished he didn't already have plans so he could have just spent the day with Lily. "What do ya two wanna do," Sirius asked. Lily looked at the two of them and simply said, "I shouldn't have bothered coming here, let alone stay here. You two do whatever you were going to do anyways." Lily got up took her wand out, James grabbed her hand. "Please don't go," James pleaded, as he jabbed Sirius in the side. "Oh… don't go, I have things I have to do at home, Bye" he suggested!

"I'm sorry James," Lily sighed.
"For what," he asked?
"For coming her without warning and ruining all your plans," Lily explained.
"Sirius had to leave you heard him," he commented.
"James Potter, how stupid do you think I am," Lily said.
"You're not stupid… you're smart… you're beautiful…" James started out and faded off through the sentence. Lily blushed slightly, and looked down at her feet. "I better go still," she commented.
"Please don't," James begged.
"I really should," she explained. James leaned into her and kissed her check softly. "I guess I can't stop you," he sighed. Lily leaned over to him and kissed his lips soft and tenderly. "I guess you can't," she teased as she turned to leave.
James stretched his arm out beside her, preventing her from opening the door. Lily just stared at him and waited for him to put his arm down, but he didn't he put his lips against her ear and whispered, "I love you Lily." He kissed her lips one last time trying to convince her to stay here. I guess she wanted to stay by the fact she kissed him back with passion but unsuccessfully after she still walked out the door leaving James standing there.

The week after Lily had left James was a horrible mess. He felt as though he had lost the most important thing in the world to him. He had expressed his feelings to her and she just left him at his door. He didn't know where she was or who she was with she didn't even know if she was coming back to Hogwarts next week. James finally decided after 8 days of lying in his room to go out. He started walking through Diagon Alley to look for school supplies since school did start next week. As he begun walking in and out of stores his attention got caught by someone sitting on the corner but he did not realise until his full attention was on this person that it was Lily. "LILY," he yelled as he started to run over to where she was sitting. She turned her head around to find a very happy James Potter running towards her. "What are you doing here," he asked attentively, "Well what kind of a question is that, were have you been?"
"Around," Lily replied softly, she didn't really seem interested in talking about anything.
"I was worried about you," James confessed, not like it was hard to tell or anything.
"Yeah," she said quizzically, "I'm surprised no one ever seems worried about me."
"Well I care about you," James explained as he joined her on the corner, "I'm sorry about your family."
"Oh it's ok really," Lily said, "There really happy now that I've decided to not go back to Hogwarts."
"Wh-What," James gagged out, "You are-aren't coming back." His heart split in two. "You've got to be kidding me," he said.
"Unfortunately I'm not," Lily sighed as she shifted slightly to one side.
James' mind was racing what could he do. "James, I love you too but I just can't leave my parents its way too hard," she explained calmly. He got up and started to walk away. This is not happening he thought this is probably some horrible dream! Please can I wake up now! "James, please don't leave," Lily asked.
"What, you did this to me so why is it any different if I do it to you," he yelled at her as he left.
