Two weeks went by and Jamie's condition worsened. It was to the point she could barley stand some days, but miracouesly, some days all she did was run around. She bounced back and fourth, but when the bad days came, they broke the scales. All Landon could do was sit by her, and watch his wife slowly fading away. And it killed him.

Landon shot out of the kitchen towards the phone.
**ring rin--*
"Hello?" Landon said into the telephone. Dr. Jenkin was on the other end.
"Yes may I speak to Mr. or Mrs. Carter??" Dr. Jenkin asked.
"Speaking...Mr. Carter that is" Landon replied.
"I'm glad to be in contact again, Landon. I'm very happy to say that we've found a match for Jamie's operation. A 17 year old girl in Illinois. We can fly her in as soon as tomorrow night" the doctor said.
Landon could barley hear the details. The only thing he could think of was a light. A light at the end of the tunnel, that was getting brighter. Jamie had a shot. And the odds were tipping in their favor. Landon managed to say thank you to the doctor and hang up the phone, running up the stairs to the bedroom.
"JAMIE!!!!! JAMIE!!!!! THEY FOUND A MATCH!!!" he screamed, charging into the room, waking Jamie.
"W-What? Landon what's going on?" Jamie asked, still half asleep.
"JAMIE!!!! They finally found a match!! You're going to be okay!!!!!!!" Landon screamed jumping up and down, picking Jamie up out of bed and spinning her around.
She had a grin on her face, but Jamie wasn't jumping up and down, and she was kind of concerned.
"Landon that's great, really I'm thrilled. But it's not a cure. It's not an automatic free ride. We're still not sure its even going to work.....or that I'm going to make it until...." Jamie trailed off, trying to push back her tears.
"Jamie, baby, shhh. We're going to be okay. You are going to be okay. I swear to you. I'm going to do everything I can to save you" Landon promised.
"It's not in your hands, Landon" Jamie replied. Landon pulled her close.
"Hey, we gotta have faith here. If you ever taught me just one thing, that's what it is. Faith. And that's what's going to pull us through Jamie. Faith." Landon reassured her.
Jamie broke down in Landons arms. "I'm scared" she choked out, as Landon held her tight. Landon did the only thing he knew would soothe her.
"Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceded."
Jamie joined in through her tears, calming down. "It is never rude or selfish, it does not take offence and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other peoples sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes" the two finished together, and Jamie's breathing was steady again.
"Jamie don't be scared. God knows what he's doing. But I have faith that he wants you to live" Landon told her.
"When's the surgery?" Jamie asked, her grip on Landon tightening.
A/n: DUMM DUM DUMMM! lol, Jamie keeps getting the last word. Another chapter will be coming soon, and this time, it will actually be about the surgery! Review guys!! :) --FS
