Jamie was setting on the couch when the phone rang.

"I'll get it" she said. leaving Landon alone on the couch.

"Hello" she said

"Hey girl whats up?" Jamie immediatley recognized the voice on the other end and her heart froze.

"Laynie ?" "yeah" "What's wrong and don't bullshit me either?" Landon raised his eyebrow at the soud of the curse word Laynie on the other hand just smiled.

"I see I'm already rubbing off on you Jamie." Don't beat around the bush Laynie Collins what's up" "Want the truth " "Always" Jamie said plainly "I'm dying" Laynie said levelally. "How long do you have ?" "Four months or less and I don't want to die in the hospital but I'm too old for the foster homes now."

"I'll come get you" she said almst in a command leaving Laynie no room yo object "Bye laynes ill be there in a minute aare you all checked out?" "Yup bye Jamie" Jamie hung the phone up and went into the living room to fill Landon in on the deatails

Landon, my friend Laynie is coming to live with us. Shes dying and doesnt have anywhere else to go. If she doesn't get a heart transplant she only has four months or less to live. "But what about your...""What about my health? I am dying anyway so it doesn't matter. Atleast that way we don't have to die alone." "Okay. This conversation is getting morbid." "Well I better go pick her up. She is waiting on me."

She picks the keys up off the coffe table puts them in her pocket walks up the stairs to the linen closet and grabs blankets a pillow.

Jamie made her way down the stairs arms full and fumbling for the keys. Here take these for me would ya she said handing Landon the blankets and flashing a smile.

Okay hand me the first blanket please she said after unlocking the door. He hands her the blanket. She spreads it out across the backseat and puts the pillows on the left side so laynie could lay down she went around up the other blanket in the back floor board in case she got cold . they both got into the car and where driving to the hospital when Landon asked

"whats wrong with her heart" It can pump enough blood through the body and is very weak. They have exhausted all other methods of treatment so she needs a new ticker she said. So how long have you guys been friends since i was first diagnosed and when they to combine cardiology and oncology floor for remodling a couple years a go we roomed together and got really close How come your the only family shes got She a foster child Oh

Just then Jamie pulled up to the hospital and a beutiful blonde girl came into thier view. Jamie pulled to a stop got out of the car and ran up the steps to hug her friend who was sitting in hospital wheelchair Landon walk into there conversation shortly after that. He was struckb y the fact that somone so visabally very sick could be so beutiful. Despite the dark circles under her eyes and bluish tint to her lips and pale complexion she was still radiant. He finally got up the nerve to say hello and offfered her his hand im landon carter I kknow ive heard alot abouty you Im Laynie Colins. I can't say i have heard of though landon repiled while shaking her hand. Jamie likes to keep me a secreat she said. When the orderlies tried to put her in the car she protested saying she could do it herself and they could keep the "friggin" wheelchair. He saw Jamie smile like he never had before and suddenly realized that living with girl was going to be a trip.

Little did he know someday she would change his life.
