Landon and Sammie ran to Jamie's house not stopping for anything, not even a breath. When they got there they paused for only a second and knocked eagerly.

Mrs. Sullivan came to the door looking worried. "Thank heavens it's you two! Jamie locked herself in her room and won't talk to me, will you please try?" She asked looking from Sammie to Landon and back to Sammie.

"Yeah, we'll go up," Sammie said as Mrs. Sullivan let them enter the house.

"Thanks Mrs. S!" Landon called running up the stairs behind Sammie.

When Landon got to the top of the stairs Sammie was already pounding on the door. "Jamie please let us in!" She begged.

The door finally opened. Jamie was standing there with hate burning in her eyes; Landon thought they were going to go right through him. Sammie quickly walked into her room.

"Jamie are you okay?" She asked.

"I'm fine," Jamie answered too calmly.

"Jamie, really are you?" Landon asked walking over to her.

"Landon come on! I'm the school bitch in case you haven't noticed!" Jamie screamed.

"Jamie you're not--" Landon started but was cut off.

"No Landon don't say it! I AM did you hear half of the stuff people said?! I'm this-this whore in everyone's eyes, I wanted to fuck Luke Scottwell but got the shitty end of the damn deal!!" She said not caring her mother and father could hear every word.

"Jamie don't say that," Sammie said with her voice cracking.

"Sam, you heard it, that's what they think of me, I usually wouldn't care but when it's this . . . what am I to do?" Jamie asked putting her hands on her face.

"Jamie it'll all work out," Sammie said hugging her.

"I hope you're right," Jamie said hugging her best friend back.

Hours later Jamie and Landon were in the park watching the small children play hop-scotch and tag. Jamie didn't say much, she was deep in thought.

Landon grabbed her hand without her making a move. He sat in silence with her until he couldn't bear it any longer. "Jamie," He finally said.

"Hmm?" Jamie asked turning to him.

"I-I love you," He said softly.

Jamie didn't say anything, what was she to say? How did she know that he wasn't only feeling sorry and when it was all over he'd be the same Landon again? And did she love him, really love him?

"Landon, I um don't know what to say, I mean I have feelings for you, deep feelings, but I can't call them love, not yet, not until you prove it to me," Jamie said sadly as she walked off.

It was the next day and Jamie was waiting for Sammie and Landon to walk to school with her. She didn't even want to go; she didn't want to face everyone's taunting and teasing.

"Hey," Sammie said walking out the door and standing next to Jamie.

"Hi," Jamie said dully.

"Lighten up Jamie, it'll be okay," Sammie said smiling a small smile.

"I can only dream right?" Jamie asked sarcastically.

Just then Landon walked over to Jamie and grabbed her hand, this surprised Jamie but she didn't pull away. "What are you doing Landon?" Jamie asked in a whisper.

"Proving it to you," Landon said looking into her eyes.

"Landon you could lose everything," Jamie said startled by his answer.

"It's not as bad as losing you," Landon replied looking back ahead.

When they got to the school building Landon opened the door for Jamie and Sammie and followed in behind them.

As Jamie walked by Landon's group Billy started barking. Jamie walked on by trying to ignore Billy and his followers. That was the hardest thing she'd ever done.

"Hey Jamie, let's ditch and go to a motel," Billy said rubbing his hands over his chest.

"Billy go fuck off!" Landon shouted pushing Billy into a wall.

The onlookers fell silent. "Landon, you're going to take this bitch over me!?" Billy shouted.

"She's not a bitch Billy!" Landon shouted.

"Landon you're wrong she wants to fuck Luke, Landon you hate that bastard!" Billy snapped back.

Landon then without thinking twice punched Billy, his best friend in the face. He then looked at him a moment longer and then lead Sammie and Jamie down the main hall.
