Landon was in total shock, he couldn't believe that Jamie was standing right before him. "This has to be a dream," he said aloud.
"No Landon, it's me, it's really me," Jamie said about to cry. Not only because she could see him again but because she still felt nothing, not even butterflies.
Landon walked over to her and touched her face. "It really is you!" He said sweeping her into a bear hug.
Bert stood off to the side watching them; he looked in Jamie's eyes and saw so much pain in them that he thought he was going to break down himself. It wasn't fair to her that she had to go through this. She may be an adult but this was too much.
"Hey why don't we head home, we have a lot of catching up to do," Bert said leading them out the door.
"Okay that sounds nice," Jamie said smiling weakly.
As they drove home they were all silent thinking, different things. Jamie thought of all the pain she was going to cause Landon, he looked so happy to see her, well he thought she was dead, maybe that was it, Jamie prayed that was all.
Landon was thinking of when to tell Jamie, he didn't want to make the mistake of not telling her again. That was horrible; he thought Jamie would never know that he loved her. He didn't want something like that to happen again, he'd have to do it sometime soon.
Bert was praying, not really thinking, he prayed that God would let Jamie feel love for Landon before she had to tell him different. 'If you wont let Jamie fell love for Landon before she tells him at least make it go easier for her, she's been thorough so much and she's been so strong, I know she loved Landon very much and telling him this would kill her,' Bert thought to himself, or to God really.
"We're here," He said cheerfully.
They walked into the house and Jamie sat on the sofa ready to explain her story, her entire story to the both of them. She knew they wanted to know.
"Jamie what happened to you?" Landon asked as he sat next to her.
"Well . . ." she started. Everything was explained, down to the last detail except for Jamie's one small problem.
"We should invite Colleen and Toby over sometime, they were a gift sent from God and we should thank them," Bert said as she finished.
"I know, I don't think I can ever repay them for what they did, I love them about as much as I love you dad," Jamie said smiling at her father.
As she said this she felt a stab at her heart. 'As much as I love you.' She couldn't say that to Landon because she felt no love and this was hurting her way too much.
Without warning Jamie started to sob. Landon was quick to embrace her. "It'll be okay Jamie, you're safe now, everything will be fine, I'll take you up to your room so you can rest," Landon said gently.
"Th-thank you Landon," Jamie sobbed into his shoulder.
"Shh, shh, it's okay," Landon said as he led her up to her room.
When Landon left Jamie's room she didn't sleep she just thought of how she was going to tell Landon she didn't love him, or felt no love for him. Was she just going to come out and say it? Should she drop hints then tell him? Not tell him??
She didn't know what to do and realizing this she started to sob uncontrollably.
-
It was at least three hours later and Landon decided he was going to tell Jamie the truth. He walked to her door and stood there staring at it for what seemed like forever. Finally he knocked.
"Come in," Jamie said sounding cheerful.
"Uh, hey Jamie," Landon said closing the door behind him.
"Oh hi Landon, what can I do for you?" She asked not as cheerful this time.
"I want to tell you something I should have told you along time ago," He said sitting on her bed.
'Oh no!!' Jamie's head screamed. 'PLEASE GOD DON'T DO THIS!'
"Jamie I love you, I really do, I've loved you forever, I didn't think you could ever love somebody like me so I told you that you loved me out of pity, and before you left I just couldn't say anything because I came to the realization that you loved me, I'm just sorry I didn't get to tell you before," Landon said grabbing her hand and looking into her eyes.
"L-Landon please," Jamie said with her voice cracking.
"What Jamie?" He asked sounding alarmed.
"Landon I have something to tell you and I don't want you to hate me forever, I don't know how it happened," Jamie said willing herself not to cry.
"What is it, Jamie whatever it is we'll get though it,"
'Landon what little you know,' Jamie thought. She couldn't bring herself to say it, she didn't want to hurt anybody, and she knew she'd hurt Landon.
"Jamie just say it," Landon said gently.
"Okay, Landon I don't feel my love for you."
