A/N: This is my new fic..totally solo too. It's different than most but then not that different..I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it (the first chapter anyway.)

Jamie Sullivan at age twenty was parentless. She knew it didn't sound as bad because she was an adult but it was hard. Her mother had left when she was only ten years old. Her father had died just a year ago...life was not what Jamie wished it could be.

Jamie walked down the street to meet Jacob before he went to school. She walked into the local coffee shop where she normally met Jacob in the mornings. She went up to the front to order her coffee.

"What can I get ya Jamie?" The cashier known as Bill asked.

"Hey Bill, I'll have my usual," Jamie said with a smile.

"Okay one coconut cream cappuccino comin' up," Bill said with a smile.

Just then Jacob walked in. "Hey Jacob," Jamie said walking over to him.

"Hi," He replied dully.

"Did you at least get some homework done?" Jamie asked hopefully.

Jacob looked down at the ground. "No," He answered simply.

"Jacob you CAN'T keep doing this, what would dad think if he knew you were throwing your life away, you know what, if you don't shape up no more basketball," Jamie said sternly. She hated doing that to the kid but he couldn't keep away from school work.

"Jamie you can't do that, basketball is my last chance to make it away from you!" Jacob shouted loud enough for the whole coffee shop to hear.

"Thanks Jacob," Jamie said sounding hurt.

"Jamie wait I.." Jamie cut him off.

"You better get to school," She said turning around.

Jacob sighed and left the building. He hated having Jamie his dear sister be his mother.

Landon Carter 24 woke up, showered and got dressed. He walked into his living room and saw his dog Spike lying on the couch. "Spike!" Landon scolded.

Spike's ears perked up and he wagged his tail but didn't budge. "You weird dog," Landon said chuckling as he grabbed his jacket. He decided that he'd stop by the coffee shop even though he rarely ever went.

He walked up to the counter and ordered; as he waited he looked at the people sitting down enjoying their coffee. His eyes wondered upon an attractive brunette. She was wearing a black sweater that wasn't baggy but wasn't skin tight. It hugged her body showing off all her womanly curves. She was also wearing blue jeans that hugged her legs just right.

He decided to talk to her; he walked over to her table. "Do you mind if I sit here?" He asked.

"Not at all," Jamie said looking up at him. He was tall about 6'0 even, he had brown hair and the most beautiful hazel eyes she had ever see. He was really good looking in her opinion.

"I'm Landon Carter," He said interrupting her thoughts.

"I'm Jamie Sullivan," Jamie replied.

"So do you come here often?" Landon asked wanting to get to know her.

"Yeah, about everyday," Jamie answered.

He and Jamie sat in silence for what seemed like forever. "You don't say much," Landon stated.

"What's there to say?" Jamie asked looking him in the eye.

"Well I want to get to know you," Landon said looking right back at her. Her eyes were so innocent looking, they were driving him mad.

"Well I'm not sure I can say the same for you," Jamie said as she got up.

Landon just sat there for a minute absorbing what happened. He turned around just to see her leave. "I'll see you tomorrow," He said long after she left.
