"You should tell him, you know," a familiar voice softly said from behind her. "I know you love him."
"Remus," she began turning around to face her friend, "You know I can't do that. He's my best friend, and h-he's in love with his perfect Lily-flo...
Nobody quite understood unrequited love like James Potter did. His eyes never left the one girl he was madly and completely in love with, Lily Evans. Yet, her eyes refused to meet his for even a second. He would've done anything and everything for her, yet she only saw him as an arrogant toe-rag. Every night he went to bed haunted by the same thought: there is nothing worse than not knowing why someone doesn't feel the same way about you.
Elsie Figg thought James was wrong. There was something worse.
You see, nobody quite understood unrequited love like James Potter did, with the exception of Elsie Figg. Because while James Potter stayed up all night wondering why his love was never returned, Elsie knew exactly why hers was never reciprocated. James loved Lily, a girl who he was still convinced he had a shot with even after the constant rejection. And, Elsie loved James, a boy who's eyes were never and would never be on anyone else besides Lily. So, Elsie thought that perhaps there was something worse than not knowing why someone didn't love you back: knowing exactly why someone doesn't love you back. But, Elsie was okay with that. She had to be. Because, she knew loving James would only end up with her getting hurt. Because, she knew that he would pick Lily over her any day. Because, she knew that loving James Potter was always a losing game for her.
So, when Elsie is trying to get over James and gets a tempting offer from a toxic ex-lover, will she take it? Stay tuned to join Elsie and James' journey in lust, love, but most importantly, life.
