I forgot to put this! I do not own any characters from the movie and some
ideas come from the movie to fit my story. I do own Hope, Jordan, Trish,
Blake, Chris, Melanie, David and any other character I add.
Next Week-Saturday Night
Jordan's POV
I drove up to the cement factory while the dance was still going on. I was meeting my friends there and a guy who we were adding to our group, well, if he did a little something. Blake said he had heard of something that a group of friends use to do over 18 years ago. They would make a person jump from the top of this pier thing. Every single one of us, well the guys, had to do it. I remember belly flopping so bad, I was red for three days and had bruises. I pulled up and everyone was there, except for David, who was jumping. I got out of my car and walked over to them. "Anyone got anything to drink?"
Trish said, "They're all hot. Besides, you've had plenty."
I laughed. "There's no such thing as too many." I gave Chris, who was my best friend from the group, high five. "So, when is he supposed to be here?"
*****Landon POV****
"Ok Mom, we'll come over tomorrow after church. See ya then." I got off the phone with my mom and returned to the living room where Hope was. "We're going over to Meemaw's tomorrow." That was the name Hope first called her when she was speaking. She called Jamie's dad Pop and my dad Papa.
She smiled. "Great. I miss her cooking!"
I pretended like I was hurt. "Oh, so my cooking isn't good?"
"I didn't mean that Dad. I love your cooking." She laughed. "Well, I'm going up to my room to do some stuff. If you need me, come get me."
"Ok sweetie."
****Jordan POV****
Ten minutes later David showed up. We gave him a hard time and then led him to the pier. I was going to jump with him, just to show him it wasn't bad. As we walked up, David began questioning me.
"So, um, is it a bad jump?"
"Nah, I've done it before. So have Blake and Chris." We got to the edge. "So, on the count of three, ok?"
"Yeah."
"One, two, three!" David jumped while I pretended to. We all laughed, until Trish started yelling.
"He's not moving!"
I looked down and raced down the ladder. I got in and started pulling him to where everyone else was. Chris helped me get him up. By then, security had come and Blake, Trish, and Melanie ran off. "Get out of her Chris!"
"Not without you man!"
"Leave!" Chris ran off while I checked on David. When I saw he was awake, I took off. I jumped in my car and began to race off. A police car, though, cut me off, and I wrecked. He got out and told me to put my hands on the wheel. "Crap," I muttered.
*****Landon's POV****
I was standing in a lighted room, and she was in front of me. "Jamie," I whispered.
She smiled. "Hi Landon." I wrapped my arms around her and gave her s kiss.
"How are you?" I asked.
"Perfect of course." She smiled again. "Hope's getting more and more beautiful everyday."
"Yeah, she looks just like you."
Jamie looked me in the eye. "So, why haven't you told Hope our story?"
I looked down. "I don't know. It just doesn't seem like I can ever just bring it up." I then looked at Jamie.
"Well, just to let you know, some things will be coming up that will seem familiar, so you need to tell her."
"Like what Jamie?"
Ring Ring! I jumped at the sound of the telephone. I went over to it and picked it up. "Hello?"
"It's me." Reverend Sullivan said.
"Oh yeah. What's up?" I asked. About thirty seconds later I nearly dropped the phone. "Jamie," I whispered.
"What?" he asked.
"Oh nothing. I'll be at the hospital as soon as I can." I but the phone down and went up to Hope's room. I heard the music of Frank Sinatra coming from her room. That was the only music Hope listened to that wasn't Christian music. I knocked lightly and I heard her say come in. I walked in and saw her writing.
"Hey daddy." She could tell I was concern. "What's wrong?"
"David was sent to the hospital. I was going to go see him. Do you want to go?"
She jumped up. "Yes. What happened?"
"I'll tell you in the car."
