Disclaimer – Nope.

A/N – This is the exact same wording as the first "chapter". The only difference is that it's written like a more traditional style of mine, as a backup for the inevitable suckishness of my first attempt at freeverse.

title: aren't meant to be

pairing: lily/james

-:-

He asks the same question every day.

Over and over again.

He follows you around like a puppy, but you know that none of it is real.

You want to say yes, but you're afraid that that will be the end of it.

Because, secretly – you like the attention.

You love feeling like you're the most beautiful girl in the world.

Hell – he treats you like you're the only girl in the world.

And you love it.

Your heart aches to say yes, just once.

But you're afraid.

You don't want to be just another notch on his bedpost – you want to be special.

And so you ignore him.

Ignore him, ignore your feelings, ignore the little pangs of desire that alert you to the fact that another part of your soul has just dissolved into nothingness.

You ignore everything, because you know.

James Potter and Lily Evans just aren't meant to be…
