Follow (Me)
We walk away, not because we don't care,
But to find out who cares enough to follow.
"What did you want to talk about?" James asked as he pulled her into a side hallway.
She took deep breath and stopped walking. James did too and stood in front of her. With a look of confusion he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Listen, James, you're a great guy and all…" Lily started to say, but James interrupted her.
"What? Lily, are you breaking up with me?"
She turned her face away from his, and stared at the grey stone wall instead as she nodded yes to his question. "I'm sorry. I can't do this anymore…I just can't." She quickly turned and walked away.
"Wait, Lily," James said.
Lily didn't say anything, but quickened her pace.
"Lily just wait a second," James said as he tried to catch up with her. Lily heard his footsteps behind her, but they stopped and something heavy hit the floor. Lily winced, but kept on walking.
"Bloody uneven stones," James swore as he picked himself up off the floor. He swore again when he saw Lily turn the corner into another hallway. He started to run towards her.
She heard his footsteps once again, but they came quicker and louder than before. She walked as fast as she possibly could without running. She was determined not to cry and not to let him catch up with her.
James' long legs were no match to her shorter ones and in a moment he had caught up to her. He grabbed her wrist and spun her back around so she faced him.
He looked straight into her eyes and said, "You're not getting rid of me that easily Lily Evans. I finally have you, and I'm not giving up. I'm not letting you walk away that easily." He let go of her wrist.
She stared at him for a moment, then she threw her arms around him and kissed him on the cheek. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead. He moved his arm around her waist and he kept it there as they walked back to the common room together.
Lily smiled and placed her head on his shoulder.
She knew he would follow her every time.
A/N: And that's it. =)
