Chapter 2: Thank you??!
"I watched my past crash in the sea
If I
could ask you just one question
Why aren't you here with me?"
With a gasp Jamie pushed Landon away, "What the hell?!" She screeched.
Landon smile sheepishly, "Er.. Well.. I." He rubbed the back of his neck, blushing faintly.
Jamie grinned despite what had just happened, "My oh my. Is Landon Carter.. Blushing?"
With a smile Landon leant closer to Jamie again. Jamie shook her head, resting a hand on his chest as if to hold him back, "No Landon. No. I .. Can't. I'm sorry." Scrambling onto her feet and swinging her bag over her shoulder Jamie raced across the pristine lawn, towards the crowded dorms. With a large sigh, Jamie fell onto her bed, her bag falling next to her. Memories swamped through her mind, her breathing becoming erratic, her heart thumping wildly. Shaking her head, Jamie lurched into a sitting position, "Don't be silly.. He's just Landon. The cool boy from High School. Don't let him get to you, that's what he wants." Jamie sighed, having finished giving herself a pep talk. Maybe, just maybe she would be able to walk back into that classroom tomorrow. And maybe, just maybe, she wouldn't have to hide behind her books. With a heavy heart, and a troubled mind, Jamie got on with her long, foreboding day.
The moonlight filtered through Jamie's open window , her small bedside clock reading 1:03am. Grumbling softly, Jamie kicked back the twisted covers and wandered over to her open window. Stars twinkled brightly in the night sky, a perfect night for Star Gazing. Wrinkling her nose, Jamie realized. She was in no fit state to concentrate on finding the right constellations, her mind was dominated by one thing - Stupid bloody Landon bloody Carter. Jamie's eyes widened, she had never sworn so much until that one sentence that ran through her mind just a moment ago. Sure, there were reasons behind it, but still. It was not normal. Boy, was Landon becoming an fast growing pain in the bu--
Narrowing her eyes, Jamie vowed to concentrate. Tilting her telescope slightly, she squinted and peeked through. A satisfied smile graced her lips as she found Orion's Belt [A/N Err, I know nothing of constellations, so, yes, moving on. Suddenly warm obviously male, arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her away from the telescope. Jamie screeched as she was swung around playfully before being gently set upon on her feet. Fuming, she turned to see who had violated her personal time, knowing at once who it was. Bloody stupid Landon bloody Carter. With a sigh, Jamie stepped towards him, wrapping her olive green cardigan firmly around herself, "What is it, Landon?"
Landon frowned, "Just saying hi.. Don't be so uptight Jamie. " He smirked, "You and me. We're destiny."
Jamie scoffed, rolling her eyes and walking away. A nearby lake trickled soothingly, the soft twinkling light shining off it calming Jamie, and her jumbled thoughts. Landon plopped down near the edge of the lake, patting the grass beside him, "Just to talk." He promised, his voice sincere. Warily, Jamie perched next to him, pushing her chocolate tresses from her pale, drawn face, "Okay, just to talk."
Yawning softly, Jamie turned towards Landon, "How did you know I was here?" She questioned.
Landon smiled sheepishly, "Yeah, sorry 'bout that. I kinda.. Well.. I asked around, and people said this is what you usually do, late at night. So, I woke up and took a walk, hoping that I'd come across you, and look at that, I did."
Jamie couldn't help but smile. But her smile soon turned into a frown, "Okay, Landon. Why are you here?"
Landon sighed softly, picking at the grass beneath them, "I was afraid you were gonna ask that.. The truth is, Jamie, I've grown. A lot. I'm not the stupid popular boy I was back in High School. I realized that's all it was for me back then. One big fun party. I was stupid, and most of all, I was mean to you. I teased you, and I know that's not right. Jamie, I'm sorry."
Jamie gulped softly, breathing unevenly. No one had ever said anything like that to her before, and it felt as though her breath had been knocked from her lungs, "I.. Well. I guess you have changed. The old Landon was never that sincere." She smiled slightly, tilting her head to the side. A lock of hair fell over her shoulder and over her eyes, seeing this Landon leant closer, tucking it back behind Jamie's ear. He whispered softly, "Jamie.. I think.. I love you." Jamie blinked rapidly, breathless. Her heart thumped enthusiastically in her chest in response to his words. Her mind was screaming, "No! You can't Jamie! Think of your future?! Who cares about Landon Carter?!" And her heart was screaming back, "I do! Oh. My. God! I DO!" Landon shifted uncomfortably next to Jamie. It was then that Jamie realized it had been a few minutes since she'd said anything. Still blinking rapidly, Jamie cleared her throat, "I.. Thank you!" She jumped to her feet, running swiftly back towards the dorms, leaving a very shocked Landon behind, calling, "Thank you??! That's it?!"
A/N: Yes, it's short. Again. I'M SORRY! I just had to get this part out, and well, I like how it ends. -Dodges tomatoes- Calm down! I'll update sooner now with longer chapters, I promise.
