Chapter one- Wedding day
Hi! I'm Landon Rollins Carter and this is my story. I just got married to the love of my life Jamie Elizabeth Sullivan. This is what had happened after the wedding.
Wow. I never thought I see so many people show up for my wedding to Jamie and it was the most wonderful sight ever because I saw everyone I knew was there and that include my friends. But the only one who did not show up was Dean and Tracie. I wondered what happened to them. Anyways we are about to leave and everyone is clapping and cheering and I think I heard Eric say "Congratulations man. I never imagine that you would get marry. Talk to you later." Or something like that. I'm not sure cause there is a lot or clapping and I couldn't even here myself think. Well anyways we just gotten outside and I remember what my dad said to me when we were at the house. He said, "Don't worry about the ride to your after wedding party cause that is all taken care of. So when the wedding is over just wait outside for your ride." I didn't know what he meant by that though but I did what he said and we waited outside. We must have waited for about ten minutes and still no sign of our ride. I didn't even know how were going to get there or where the party was being held cause no one told us anything and Jamie said, "Landon, what are we doing out here? Who are we waiting for and how much longer?" good question Jamie cause that is exactly what I want to know. I responded in a gentle voice, "I really don't know because before the wedding my dad just told me to wait out here for our ride and that is all. He didn't even tell us where the party was even being held."
"oh so no one told you too ha Landon!"
"so you talk to your dad too and he didn't tell you anything?:"
"well not exactly anything Landon. He just told me to relax cause it's my wedding day and that everything is taken care of."
So we waited and finally our ride came. A man in a black and white tuxedo came up to us and said, "Is there a Mr. and Mrs. Landon Carter around here?" I said, "ahh… that would be us." He had us follow him to a black limo and handed us a note. Jamie took it from him and we got in. He started driving and said he was our driver for the day. He too would not tell us where we were headed but said "read the note and hope that answer some of your question." So we did and it said:
"Landon,
It's dad. Sorry for not telling you this but since it is your wedding day, I arranged for you and Jamie to ride around for the whole day so don't worry about anything because me, your mother and Jamie's dad had planned everything. You also don't have to worry about where you be living because I also have taken care that. I know I know, dad you shouldn't have. But since you're my son and that this is your big day, well I planned one day ahead and everything is set. So enjoy your day. Love Dad"
Wow, dad planned ahead and he was the one who had us ride in a limo and yet I didn't think he do so much for us. Then something else hit me, that Jamie has leukemia and that she could have about who knows a couple of months, weeks even. I just got sadder and sadder and I thought about what I've do without Jamie around. Should I remarry after she died? So many question and only god knows the answer to. I said a quick prayer to god and I wish for him to give me more time so I can spend with Jamie and spend time with her wisely so it can be a good one before she dies. What am I going to do without Jamie? She is the one who change me. Knowing Jamie and I do, so could already sense what I was thinking but she turned and face me and said:
"Landon baby, I know your scared and I also know what you will do without me. I want you to know that you must have faith that you have the strength to get through life without me because sooner or later after I die, you are going to have to let me go and live a normal life. Landon can you understand what I'm saying. I want you to go on life without me."
How could she say that? There is no way I can live life without her. She is my eyes, my ears and my soul. She is my everything and well I think you get the picture about what I mean about Jamie. I said, "Jamie how could I, you are the love of my life and there is no way I can live without you. You change me and saw something in me that no one saw and brought that out of me. Baby, I love you and I don't know if I can." Jamie said, "Landon please listen. You have to let me go once I'm gone and you have the strength inside you. You're just not looking hard enough. You are stronger than you think and you are capable of doing anything you want without me around. I just guided you into the right direction. You did the rest." Deep down inside me, I knew she was right. I have to let her go once she is gone and once that happens I have to go on with my life. She said some more stuff that brought a smile on my face and she was always good at cheering people up because she the most cheerful person I can remember. The ride took about an hour and on the way Jamie mention some more stuff about life, about having faith. But the most wonderful thing she said to me was, "Landon you are my husband and I live to do anything for you and I love you with all my heart. Listen, when I'm gone I want you to know that I'll always be here for you and that I'll always be here in your heart. When you are sad, think about the good times we had together and never forget me. When the wind blow right by your face, that is me touching you and feeling you for who you are and that is a kind man who love his wife and friends. When it rains, that is my love for you being poured down and telling you how much I love you okay." Those were the most beautiful words I ever heard and I can't believe they came from Jamie. That made me feel better and I won't forget it either. We continue to talk for serveral more minutes before we finally kiss. It was very deep because deep down we loved each other.
We finally arrived at the party and the restaurant it was held in was a very familiar place like almost we were here before. I could have swear we been hear. Than Jamie said, "Landon don't remember this place, it's the restaurant where we had our first date together." She was right, it was. We were in Motorhead City and everyone was there including Tracie and Dean. I stood wondering why didn't he show up earlier at our wedding? Well only Dean knows and than Belinda walked over. She wanted to talk to us and we walked over by the lake that the restaurant had. She said, "look Jamie, Landon. I wanted to say I'm sorry for what I did to Jamie because Landon I made those fliers because I was scared."
I said, "you were scared?"
Belinda responded, "I was scared of losing you and I made those fliers so you would come back to us. I wasn't thinking that maybe you wanted to be with Jamie. I realized that after you walk Jamie out the cafeteria and I started to get the picture. You loved Jamie Sullivan and I made those fliers just to win you over. Jamie could you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?"
Jamie had a smile on her face and said, "Belinda I understand what you did and why. You are forgiven because I would have probably done what you done."
Belinda said, "Thank you Jamie. You have a big heart. I can see why Landon loves you so much and I want you and Landon to live a happy life together. I mean it. Here is your gift and I hope you like it. I guess faith have brought you two together."
I never knew that Belinda was feeling that way about me. Well I forgave her and we went on to talk about stuff and than Eric and Dean came over and they said the same thing what Belinda said and me and Jamie forgave them. The party was huge and we went on chatting for about ten more minutes.
To be Continued.
