I forgot to do the disclaimer thing on the last chapter so I'm going to do it now. I do not own instant star or anything like that. this story is based on a book by Nicolas Sparks.
Chapter 2
A loud knock at the door brought Jude out of her thoughts. When she opened the door she saw a teenaged boy, who she had never met, standing there holding a large box.
"Are you Jude?" he asked her.
"Yes. Who are you?" she asked in return.
"My father asked me to give this to you." He said ignoring her question and handing her the box. "Don't shake it or put it upside down." He said before starting to walk back to his car.
"Wait. What is this? Why are you giving this to me?" she asked his retreating form.
"I told you my father told me to give that to you. He said you'd understand once you opened it." He said as he opened his car door and got in.
"Who's your dad and why does he want me to have this?" she asked but he just ignored her and drove away.
She took the box back to the kitchen and put it on the table. When she opened it and saw a puppy in the far corner of the box as if trying to hide in the shadows of the box. She was wondering why someone she didn't know sent her a puppy when she saw an envelope taped to the top of the box with her name on it. It was written in a hand writing she thought she would never see again. She knew even before opening it that it was from Jamie.
My Dearest Jude,
I know that if you are reading this it means I am no longer here with you. I don't know how long I have been gone but I hope you have started to heal. I don't know if I would be able to if the situation were reversed, but I've always thought of you as the stronger of the two of us.
As you can see I bought you a dog. Darius Mills, a friend of my father, has been raising Great Danes since I was a kid. I always wanted one but as you know I am allergic to all dogs. I know Great Danes are big dogs but they are also some of the sweetest dogs.
I always knew that I wouldn't make it, but I didn't want to accept it because I knew that if I didn't make it you would be alone with no family to help you through this. It broke my heart to think of you being alone. I didn't know what to do so I bought you a dog.
I hope your doing ok. Ever since I found out I was sick I've been worrying about you non-stop. I love you Jude, I really do. I've never been as happy as I was when ever I was with you. You are my dream come true. It would really break my heart if you'd never be happy again. I hope you are happy, because you deserve to be happy. Be happy again, find someone who makes you happy. It might be hard at first but I want you to try, because the world is a better and brighter place when you smile.
And don't worry, you're not really alone. From wherever I am I'll look out for you. I'll be your guardian angel sweetie.
I love you,
Jamie
By the time she finished reading the letter she had finished she reading the letter she had tears running down her face. She was crying so much that she had more mascara on her cheeks then on her eye lashes. When she was finally able to compose herself she looked down at the puppy, who was still trying to hide in the corner of the box. He looked as scared and alone as she felt, at that moment she knew that this puppy would be the one to help her get threw losing Jamie. She picked him up and he shivered in her hands. She looked down at him as he started whining.
"It's ok, don't be scared." She said to him in a soothing voice. He looked up at her and whined again, but this time he didn't sound scared, it sounded like he was singing.
"Are you singing?" she asked the puppy who had finally stopped shivering. "That's what I'm going to name you, singer. What do you think of that name?" she asked him. He just looked up at her and gave her a slight nod, and for the first time since Jamie died she smiled.
