Jamie gently tapped on Landon's window with her hand. His lights came
on and he
opened the window for her to climb in.
"What are you doing here?"he asked.
"My dad and I got into this fight about us getting married and I left. Can I stay here for
the night."
"Of course! Come here, you must be freezing."He pulled a sweater out of his dresser and
gave it to her."Put this on."
She did so and told him,"Thank you."
He held her in his arms and kissed her head.
"Landon?"she asked.
"Yeah?"
"Will you sing to me?"
"You know I can't."
"Yes you can,please?"
"Fine, but if you tell anyone about this I'll deny it."
"Like they'd believe it anyways."
He sat with her in his bed her head resting on his chest and he sang.
"She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine"
By the time the song was over she was fast asleep. He put her under and tucked her in.
*The next morning*
Jamie and Landon were seated in his kitchen eating french toast, that he had
cooked. Jamie was still wearing his sweater.
"You look comfy in that."Landon told her.
"It is comfy."She told him. "It even smells like you."
"Oh really."
"Yeah it has a faint smell of your cologne and shampoo."
He kissed her and ran his hand through her hair.
"This is a very cute sight to wake up to."His mother announced walking into the kitchen.
"I'm going to go and get my shoes."Jamie told them getting up from the table.
She went up to Landon's room and his mother turned to him.
"You two look very cozy after one date."
"We didn't sleep together."
"I know."
"You do?"
I woke up earlier this morning and I found you asleep couch. I went up to your room to
see if you had just fallen asleep or if there was a different reason and I found her."
"She got into a fight with her dad and she came here."
"I always thought that she and her father have the perfect relationship."
"They usually do, but this is one thing that they have different views on."
"And what would that be?"
"I asked Jamie to marry me,"His mother looked at him in shock. "She said yes."
"Landon! You have only been on one date."
"I know mom,and I know that marriage is hard but I love Jamie and we can make it
work."
"And I love Landon, Mrs.. Carter. Believe me if we had longer I would wait longer but we
don't." Jamie told her coming into the kitchen from the spot where she had been listening
to them talk. "I have cancer. And I don't know how long I will live."
"Oh Jamie. I had no idea. I'm so sorry sweatheart.
"It's okay, really."
*Cut to Landons father's house.*
Landon dropped Jamie off at her fathers house that morning. He was furrious that
Jamie had stayed the night at Landon's, but he assured the reverand that no fornafication
had been done. Jamie told her father that she was going to marry Landon no matter what
he said and finnally her father excepted.
Landon was now at his fathers house about to tell him the news.
"So Landon,"His dad said sitting across from him in the garden."How are you doing?"
"I'm great. And in fact I've got some news for you."
"You do?"
"Yes. Well, you see, I'm getting married."
"You are!?"
"Yes I am."
"Is she pregnant?"
"No dad. I love her I really do. And I want to be with her always."
"That's great Landon. It really is, but couldn't you two wait untill you graduate from
college?"
"She might not have that long dad. Just please I just want you to be at the wedding.
Please?"
"Of course. I wouldn't miss it."
*Jamies room-later*
Jamie sat on her bed about to work on her English homework when her phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hi."
"Landon! How'd it go with your father?"
"It went okay, he's going to be at the wedding."
"That's great."
"I know. Thank you, so much."
"For what?"
"For helping me and my father get closer. I never would have been able to to this with out
you."
"Are you still at his house?"
"Yeah, but he's comming with me tomorrow to meet you at church."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Cool, so what all did you do today?"
"Well, I saw the fountain that they used for Matlock."
"Sounds like you had fun."
"Oh yeah. Tons."
"What else did you do?"
"I went to a hospital picnic with my dad and all of his hospital buddies were shocked that
we were getting married but they were very glad to find out that I want to be a doctor."
"I am especially glad to know that you're not giving up on that."
"Me too, look I've got to go go. My dad and I are going out to dinner."
"Okay, have fun."
"I will."
"Love you."
"Love you too. And I'll see you tomorrow."
"I can't wait."
"Me neither. Bye."
"Bye."
Jamie hung up the phone and sighed to herself. She picked up her organizer and looked at
the English Homework she was o do. It said: Due Monday English paper: "What is love?"
