What if it All Made Sense

Jamie*~ When I walked in the house my smile was clear up to my ears. "What are you smiling about?" my mother said as I walked in the kitchen. "I have a date tonight!" I said happily.

Taylor*~ "Oh no!" I thought to myself, "Jamie let Landon go just like that!" I went into the kitchen to tell her what a mistake she made when I heard the rest of the conversation. "Well Stephanie was pestering Landon about taking her out tonight so.I said he was taking me out," she said to my mother. "So you didn't screw up your social life!" I exclaimed. "Ha, ha very funny Taylor," she said patting me on the head.

Landon*~ I can't believe it, I'm taking Jamie Sullivan out on a date!! I thought to myself. "What are you smiling about?" my mom asked as I walked into the room. "I have a date tonight with the girl of my dreams!" I exclaimed giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Well who is 'the girl of your dreams' Landon dear?" my mother asked as she was cutting up some vegetables for dinner. "Jamie Sullivan," I said grinning at her. "Oh, she's the new girl, Landon that's wonderful!" she exclaimed. "I know," I said still grinning. I walked up to my room wondering why Jamie changed her mind about us, or if she did.

Jamie*~ I looked up at the clock, it read 5:30. I didn't even know where we were going yet. I didn't know what to wear either. I walked over to the phone and was about to pick it up when it rang. "Hello?" I said. "Um, Jamie this is Landon," he said.

"Oh, hey what's up?" I asked

"I just wanted to tell you that you don't have to dress up really fancy or anything,"

"Okay cool well I have to go I'll see you in about an hour," I said smiling.

"Okay see ya," he said hanging up the phone.

I grabbed a skirt (not a fancy one) and a button down blouse. I then went to the bathroom. I washed my hair and blew it dry. I didn't know whether to leave it down or up. "Taylor!" I called. She came into the bathroom about ten seconds later. "What do you need?" she asked. "Help me I don't know if I should leave my hair up or down," I said starting to panic. "Calm down," she said grabbing my shoulders. "Put it half way up," she said smiling. "Thank you so, so, so much," I said hugging her (something I rarely do.) I then finished getting ready.

Landon * ~ after I was finished getting ready I looked at my watch, it read 6:15. "I better head over there," I said to my self. I got in the car and headed to Jamie's. About ten minutes later I was at her front door. I knocked and waited. Suddenly Taylor opened the door. "Hey, is your sister ready?" I asked smiling at her. "She's not yet come in and wait for her," she said letting me in the house. "Go ahead and have a seat I'll go get her." She said disappearing. Suddenly Mr. Sullivan came into the room. 'Uh-oh' I thought to myself, the talk. I stood up. "Hello sir," said extending my hand. "Mr. Carter I understand you're talking Jamie out tonight," he said eyeing me. "Yes sir," I said. "Well I'd like to go over some things with you," he said.

Jamie*~ "Jamie, Landon is here," Taylor said as I was applying my lip gloss. "Okay just one second," I said staring to get butterflies. "Umm, I think dad is giving him 'the talk'" she said trying not to laugh. As I heard that I went down the stars to the front room. "Okay I'm ready let's go," I said grabbing Landon arm. "Jamie wait I have to get your picture with Landon," my mother exclaimed. I stopped and rolled my eyes. "Smile!" she exclaimed. We both smiled for her. After she was done I rushed Landon out the door.

"I'm really sorry about my dad," I said as we drove off. "It's no problem he was better than most dad's I've met," he said with a chuckle. "So where are we going?" I asked smiling at him. "Well we're going to the movies and then I thought I'd take you to the pier since we didn't get to earlier," he said looking at me with a lopsided grin, I melted over that grin. "Sounds good," I said looking out the window. We arrived at the theater about a half hour later. We went to see 'How to Deal' starring Mandy Moore. I begged Landon to let me see it. After the movie I took Landon's hand, he looked kind of surprised that I did, but he didn't pull away.

Landon~* we got in the car and I took her to the pier. When we got there the sun was just setting. "Wow, Landon it's beautiful!" she exclaimed letting go of my hand. I was disappointed that she did so. She went to the end of the pier and looked out towards the sun and let the wind blow across her face. She looked so beautiful like that. "Come stand next to me Landon," she said turning to me. I stood next to her and watched her let the wind caress her face. She opened her eyes and smiled at me. I then moved closer to her. I was like three inches from her face and she said "I need to be getting home now Landon," she then turned around and walked to the car.

Jamie*~ I couldn't believe I did that! I pushed Landon away! He probably hates me now. The ride home was silent. I felt so, so bad. We got to my house and he walked me to the door. "Well I had a nice time," I said to him. "Me too, good-night Jamie," he said kissing me on the cheek. I don't know what the hell came over me but I grabbed him by the collar and kissed him. The kiss got deeper and deeper. I finally broke it off. "Good-night Landon," I whispered.

A/N~ how's that for a chapter r/r! Oh yeah and I don't own How to Deal.
