Chapter One
"Landon?"
"Oh, sorry, I was just thinking." Landon had been thinking a lot lately, and he hadn't been paying attention too much. He was on the phone with his new girlfriend, Katie, and couldn't focus.
"What were you thinking about?"
"Oh, nothing. I'm tired." He had been thinking about Jamie. Sweet, sweet Jamie. No one could replace her, not even Katie. Jamie was perfect. Well, as close to perfect as anyone could get.
"Oh, I'll let you go then. I love you. Goodnight." Katie said as she hung up the phone.
Landon hung up too. For hours after that, he lied on his bed, trying to sleep, but not being able to. 'What is the explanation to all this? Why would God choose MY girl to die at an early age? Why?' He kept thinking.
He hasn't visited Reverend Sullivan ever since the death of poor Jamie. I mean, he went to church, but he hasn't visited him. He couldn't. Finally Landon fell asleep. He had dreamed about Jamie ever since her death. Good dreams, bad dreams.sad dreams. All the dreams you can think of. And she was so healthy and beautiful in his dreams. What were his dreams telling him? He kept asking himself 'Is she happier?' and 'Is she watching over me?' Even after almost a year of her being deceased, he still wonders these things.
The next morning, he woke up with kind of a smile on his face. For some reason he knew this was going to be a good day. He lay there for a moment, and finally got up. He changed clothes, and came out into the kitchen where his mother was standing making pancakes.
"Good morning, mom." He greeted her.
"Good morning, honey! I have something for you."
"What is it? If it's not Jamie I'm not interested."
"Oh Landon, I'm not asking you to get over her. I'm just asking you to move on. Move on with your life honey, she's not coming back. You know she would tell you the same thing if she were here."
"No she wouldn't cause I would be happy, cause she would be here."
"You know what I mean." She put a plate of pancakes in front of him on the table and got out the syrup and butter. She gave him the butter and a knife, warmed up the syrup and put it on the table by him.
"Aren't you gonna eat ma?"
"No. I ate while you were asleep."
Landon looked at the clock. It was 10 o'clock. Almost directly after he finished eating, the phone rang. Even though he knew better than that, every time it rang he hoped it would be Jamie at the other end.
He answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Hey baby! It's Katie. Wanna do somethin' today?"
"Oh, hey. Um, sure, what do you want to do?"
"I don't know, I thought we could go to the beach. What do you think?"
"Sure. I'll meet you there at 1. Okay?"
"Okay. [She makes a kissing sound] Bye!"
"Later."
As hard as it is to believe, Landon did care a lot for Katie. He just still hasn't gotten over Jamie. It's not that Katie was disappointing or anything, she's a real sweet girl. Even Landon had wished he would treat her the way she deserved to be treated. But he just never did. He told himself he would try that today.
Around 12:45, Landon was about to leave. His mom rushed over to him. She looked as though she were in total and complete shock.
"Landon," She was trying to catch her breath. "Someone called for you while you were in the shower. Someone you could never believe would call, called. I can't believe this. You won't either." Ms. Carter was about to tell him that person.
