Just One Question
I don not own the characters. I also do not own the scene from A Walk To Remember that I put in.
On our first day there, Jamie and I went to the Magic Kingdom. As soon as we walked through the castle, Jamie pointed to the Dumbo ride.
"Oh Landon, we have to ride that first!" She pulled me over to the line. We got in one of the flying Dumbos. Jamie leaned up against me as I wrapped my arms around her. She pressed the button and we were lifted into the air. Jamie's smile got bigger and bigger. "It's like we're really flying!"
After the ride, we went on about five more rides when we decided it was time to eat lunch. As we were eating, Goofy came up to our table. He gave Jamie a big hug as I took a picture of them, then Jamie took a picture of Goofy and me. After lunch we went to do some more rides. My favorite ride was the Thunder Mountain (I think that's what it is). One, because I love roller coasters, second because Jamie hung on tightly to me the whole time. (() It was about eight thirty and we went on our last ride, Splash Mountain. Jamie and I got pretty wet. We headed back to our hotel at that time because we could see the firework show from our balcony. Jamie got a shower first, and then I got one after her. After I was all done, I saw Jamie sitting in a chair on the balcony. I pulled a chair up behind her and laid my chin on her head.
"The fireworks have not started yet." She kissed the top of my head and leaned hers on top of mine. "Thank you, for bring me here. This is the best trip ever. Especially since I'm here with you."
I gave her a kiss, and then nuzzled her neck. Just then, the firework show began. I saw the reflection of the lights in Jamie's eyes. Sadness began to overflow me. Sometime down the road, I would never be able to look in her beautiful eyes. The memory of the night she told me came to my mind.

"Okay, what are you going to do?"
"I'm sick."
"I'll.. I'll take you home. You'll be better tomorrow."
She got upset with me. "No.... Landon! I'm sick."
I thought to myself, "Yeah you just said that."
"I have Leukemia."
"No.. You're eight.. you're 18. you.. you're perfect."
"No, I found out 2 years ago and I've stopped responding to treatments."
I began to get angry. "So why didn't you tell me?"
"The doctor said I should go on and live life normally as best I could. I didn't want anybody to be weird around me."
"Including me?!"
"Especially you... you know I was getting along with everything just fine. I accepted it, and then you happened. I do not need a reason to be angry with God."

I lightly shook my head and started thinking of now. I had her right here, with me. That's all that matter. I gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Can I ask you just one question?"
"Sure." I turned towards her
"When did you begin to like me?"
I laughed. "Well, I think deep down inside, something inside me told me I should be with you, but when you sang Only Hope in the play, I was stunned by you. Not only your outward beauty, but also your inside beauty. I had never seen it before until you sang your heart out in that play."
She kissed me and laid her head on my shoulders. After the fireworks, we got into bed. I had my arms wrapped around her, facing each other. She had her head on my chest. After a few moments, I cleared my throat. "Can I ask you just one question?"
"Yes."
I gulped. "If you had a chance to live longer, say over a year or two, what would you do?" A tear slid down my face. She looked at me, kissed my cheek where my tear was falling, and looked into my eyes.
"Well, serve in the peace core, of course." We let out a little laugh. Then she looked serious, with tears beginning to form. "I would also like to have another number on my list to be fulfilled."
I cocked my head. "What?"
She bit her lip, and then answered. "Have a baby." I must have looked shocked or something, because then she asked, "Did I scare you?"
I smiled. "No. I would love to have a baby with you."
She returned my smile. I kissed her to show her that I meant it. It's true, though. I would love to have a baby with her. If only there was time.
*****Middle of the night*****
I woke up t about 2:00 A.M. The conversation Jamie and I had before kept going through my mind. "Have a baby, have a baby." I got out of bed, went outside, and looked at the stars. After a few minutes, I found Jamie's star. I started thinking like a child. "Star light, star bright. The star named after my love, I wish I may I wish I might have this wish I make tonight. Please allow Jamie to live long enough to do the things she wants." After I had said that, I headed in. All of a sudden, I hit my knees. I clasped my hands together and looked up towards heaven. "Lord, please, please allow Jamie to live just long enough to completely her list. She loves you so much and lives her life for you. Please Lord. Thank you for bringing her into my life. Amen." After my pray, I got back in bed and wrapped my arms around Jamie and feel asleep.
