"Well Mrs. Carter, we've got some good news" Jamie's doctor had just entered the room with the results of some tests that had been run a month ago.
"Your cancer doesn't seem to be getting worse, though it's not getting better. I'm predicting that you may even make it quite a bit longer, possibly a year" Dr. Jenkin continued.
Landon sighed with relief, as did Jamie. "What about me feeling weaker?" Jamie asked.
"Well, that might just be from too much activity, or maybe your getting old!" the doctor joked. Jamie laughed slightly. "It's really nothing to be that concerned about yet Jamie" he said.
*Nothing to be too concerned about YET* Jamie thought.
Landon's head had darted over towards Jamie the second she had mentioned her weakness the first time, and she could tell he was unhappy and hurt she had held out on him. When the left the doctor's office, Landon was silent.
"So.....wanna listen to some music?" Jamie asked reaching for the dial on his radio in the car. She got no response.
"How come you didn't tell me about you feeling weak Jamie?" Landon asked her, not taking her eyes off the road.
"I didn't want to worry you if it was nothing" she replied.
"And if it was something?!" Landon asked, now looking at her.
"I'm sorry, I just didn't want to make it more than what it was" Jamie apologized.
"You've gotta start telling me these things. I don't care how big or little it is, your important to me Jamie, and if your hurting I wanna know" Landon told her.
"I promise from now on I'll tell you Landon" Jamie swore.
"Good" Landon said, wrapping an arm around her as she leaned her head on his shoulder, falling asleep. Jamie never heard Landon's silent tears during her slumber.
