A/N- This is my 2nd fan fiction. My 1st is a little old one called "Brand New Walk". This story is in Landon Carters POV!

Disclaimer- I don't own anything in this story. Not Landon Carter. Not Mandy Moore. NOTHING!!

*~Prologue~*

My name is Landon Carter. I have seen and been through things some people only dream about; in life people always have that life changing experience. A life-changing story. Some are luck enough to have more then one. Me.well I'm one of those lucky few. For me, I wouldn't have had one of these stories without the other. I will tell this story exactly the way I remember it happening. After all, time has faded, and so has this memory.

I am just an ordinary man. There is nothing special about me. No monuments dedicated for me. No schools named after me. But sometimes the most ordinary guy in the world gets lucky. Sometimes..

Some will call this a love story. But for me its not, for me it's a story of friendship. A story of what you least expect, will happen. I have no moral to this. I don't even expect you to care. But someday everyone must tell his or her story, and I choose today. There is no reason why, I just did.

When looking back at this particular time in my life I see myself at age 22. I remember every detail from certain days. Some other days I purposely chose to forget.

The following is my story, my life. My life has and never will be normal. I used to be normal, but that all changed when I met my 1st love, Jamie Sullivan. After that my life was never the same, I was changed.

Once again, however, my life was drastically changed, when another stepped into my life. I have and never will really consider her my "2nd love" I don't even consider her a love. I considered her as a friend. Who says you can't love a friend?

When you read this you will realize the power of love. But most importantly the power of friendship. My life used to be all about Jamie. That changed and you'll see how.

By the end of this you'll learn a lot about me. You'll learn about my life, my small town, and even Jamie. But of all, you'll learn about a friend. A friend who cared, who loved. You'll learn about the friend named Mandy Moore. You'll learn about the time she spent with the lost and confused boy named Landon Carter, me.

Hope ya liked it! More to come!
