Chapter: Missing feelings

~ * ~ * ~

"I'm okay." Jamie said as she and her father hugged. Tears ran down both of their faces, over come with emotion.

"I thought I lost you. Thank god you're home and safe." Bert said, not letting go of her. "I've missed you so much." he said as he finally let her go. "What happened? Why did it take you so long to come home?" he asked as they sat in the chairs, in front of his desk.

"I couldn't remember who I was. This sweet older couple found me; I've been staying with them. It took me awhile to remember, I saw flash's of the past and today I remembered everything, I had to come see you." Jamie explained as she wiped the tears away from her face.

"I can't believe it, seeing you, it's a miracle. Landon has been going through hell, he blames himself, he's going to be so happy to see you." Bert explained seeing her face change to very sad, not the smile she had before. "What's wrong?"

"I saw Landon at the cemetery, he didn't see me. I remember everything, I do, all of our time together but I can't feel it. It's like I'm seeing it and not living it. I have these memories but it feels like they belong to someone else. I hate this because I feel my love for you. I feel the pain of losing mom, I feel all of that but not Landon." Jamie said in between sobs, she couldn't understand why this was happening to her, why couldn't she be happy?

"Sweetie, it's a side affect, you'll get it all back." Bert explained he hated seeing her cry.

"You don't know that! What's going to happen when he sees me? What am I supposed to say, I can't feel my love for you anymore?" Jamie asked, wishing someone could give her an answer.

"I don't know. I wish I could give you the answer. I'm just so happy to see you alive and healthy, I haven't stopped praying for this moment, I never believed you were gone." Bert said as he grabbed her hand. He hasn't felt this happy in a long time; he has his little girl back.

"I'm so happy to see you. I hated all that time of not knowing who I was but I'm glad I met Toby and Colleen." Jamie explained as she dried her eyes as she stopped crying.

"They're the couple that found you?"

"Yeah, I escaped the fire of the crash; I crawled away as far as I could. I ended up on their property, Colleen, she was so nice, she used to be a nurse, she took care of the cuts and stuff I had. Toby he did everything he could, they were just so perfect to me." Jamie explained as she smiled at the thought of them, they became a second family to her.

"I'm glad such good people were there to take care of you when I couldn't." Bert said.

Landon had driven home. He went up to his room and sat on the edge of his bed. He couldn't stop thinking of the feeling he had at the cemetery, he could have sworn there was someone behind him or a type of presence.

"Was it you?" Landon asked as he stared at a picture of him and Jamie.

Little did he know it was her, but not her presence as an angel, her presence as a human.

"I never got the chance to tell you, how much I love you. I have been in love with you since we were 13, I never had the guts to tell you and because of that you're gone." Landon said as his began to eyes water.

Landon has loved Jamie since he was 13 before he knew what love was. He could never admit it; it took awhile for him to finally admit it to himself. His way of loving her was to make her life hell. He had made fun of her so much and every time she had forgiven him, which was another reason he loved her so much.

That's why he kept her locket for so many years; he had a piece of her, something she loved. He also didn't give it back because he didn't know how to explain why he had it without telling the truth.

Landon lay back on his bed with the picture to his chest has he closed his eyes and remembered that day.

~ Flashback~

They were at school; it was time to go home. A lot of the kids were gathered around the front of the school.

"So what are we doing tonight?" Eric asked as he, Belinda, Dean, Tracey and Landon were sitting on the bench in front of the school.

"I don't know; let's meet at my place tonight." Dean said as Jamie walked past them. "Her outfits kills me, the fashion god should strike her down." Belinda said as everyone began to laugh. Landon as well but feeling guilty, if he didn't what would they think?

"I have an idea. Watch this." Dean said as he walked up behind Jamie and lifted her skirt, showing her underwear to the whole school. Everyone busted out laughing.

Jamie quickly pulled her skirt away from Dean and put it back in place. She began to cry as everyone laughed and pointed fingers.

"I hate you!" Jamie shouted to Dean, Belinda, Tracey, Eric and she looked Landon square in the eye as she said it. She then took off running.

"That was sweet." Eric told Dean as they all walked up to him.

"Hell yeah," Dean replied.

"Let's get out of here." Tracey said.

"Yeah let's go." Landon said, they begin to walk the shine of Jamie's locket caught his eye, he bent down to pick it up.

"What's that man?" Eric asked.

"Nothing lets go." Landon said quickly putting it in his pocket.

~ End~

"I'm so sorry for hurting you. Why did you fall in love with me?" Landon asked as he opened his eyes, realizing the time. He agreed to pick Bert up since Landon had his car, his car needs some re-pairs, but Landon wasn't in the mood to fix them.

Landon grabbed the keys and left to the church.

"I know you are having a hard time, but you will be coming home tonight, right?" Bert asked.

"I don't know. I have to tell Landon the truth, but I don't know how. Colleen and Toby have both told me I'm welcome to stay with them as long as I like, but they've done so much already." Jamie explained as her mind raced back and forth, trying to figure out what to do next.

"I'm not going to rush you, do what you feel is right for you." Bert explained.

"Thanks dad." Jamie said as the door to his office opened.

"Oh my god," Landon said with shock, he lost the ability to move, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Landon."
