Chapter 3: Is It True?
Landon didn't care if Angela knew now that he was married. All he cared was about was Jamie. He walks to his first class. He knew that it would be around school by the end of the day and that the guys are gonna harass him. It was not cool to married at this school. All the guys wanted to live up college before settling down. They thought only the staff should be married.
It was finally the end of the school day. Landon walks to his car, carrying his bag on one side and his books on the other. As he was walking across the parking lot, he heard a familiar voice calling his name. "Landon! Landon?" He turns around and sees Angela running up to him. "Landon, 'bout time caught up to you. I wanted ask you something." She said trying to catch her breathe. "What?" He asks adjusting his bag and books. "Were you telling the truth?" She wants to know. "Yes. I am married." He says turning to his car. He opens the door and throws his stuff in. "What is her name?" "Jamie." "Where is your wedding band?" She is very curious. "Right here." He pulls out his chain. "Why don't you tell people that you are married.?" "You know how it is. It's not cool to be married." He answered. "So you much rather keep Jamie a secret, then to let people know about her? Are you ashamed of her or to married to her?" She ask crossing her arms. "No, you just don't know our story. Why haven't you told anybody?" He asks. "I like you, Landon. I wouldn't want to tell anyone until I found out the truth and if it was ok with you." "Not now. Well, I have to go. Bye Angela." He says getting into his car . He waves to her as he drives away. Angela stands there as a guy walks up to her. "Is it true" Kenneth asks "Oh yeah." They walk away together.
When Landon got home, he saw Jamie's car in the driveway. She is usually home before he is. He pulls in, shuts his car off and gets out. He walks up to the house and inside. He finds Jamie rolled up in a ball on the living room floor. He drops his stuff and runs to her. He kneels down next to her. "Jamie? Baby?" He says puts an arm over her back on a effort to unroll her. She stretches out. She is crying. "Why are you crying, baby?" Pulling the hair from her face. "My father" She says in a weak voice. "What about him?" He asks sitting all the way down and crossing his legs. "He's dead! He died Landon." She says with tears forming in her eyes again. "What?" He was shocked. Every since he and Jamie were married, Rev. Sullivan was like a father to him since his real father left him when he was young. "How,how did he die?" "A heart attack in his sleep. The hospital called just as I got home." Wiping her eyes with a worn out tissue. "I'm glad you're home now." "Do you want anything?" He asks worried about her. She's a orphan now. He is all she has left. "No." She said. She starts to cry again. He handed her a new tissue. When he did, she fell into his arms. He held her while she cried.
Landon didn't go to school the next day and Jamie stayed home from work. Jamie was in a depressed mood, which is explainable because the only man she's every loved before Landon came around has died. Now Jamie has to plan his funeral and call his family. But she does know that her father is in a better place and is with her mother who she never met.
His funeral was that saturday at his church. They hired another Reverand, since Rev. Sullivan was going to retire in a year. Landon and Jamie sat in the front row as his other family members filled in behind them. They listened to the new reverand talk about his life. Afterwards, they would go the cemetary to bury this man and then would return to the church basement for lunch. "I'm so sorry for your loss, Jamie. Your father was a wonderful man." A longtime friend or Rev. Sullivan said as she shook her hand. Landon would stand by her for support when she needed it. Even though they were married at age 18, only a few of Jamie's family members have gotten to know Landon. Jamie decided to wander around by herself. Besides, Landon wanted to talk to a friend of his in her family. He would keep an eye on her in cause anything would happen. "Jamie?" Jamie turned around to see her cousin, Caitlin. "Hi Caitlin." Jamie said hugging her. They were close in age and got along fine. "I wanna ask you something." Caitlin said. "Yes?" "Who is that handsome man you were with?" Caitlin asks. Caitlin didn't come to their wedding. "My husband." Jamie replies looking at him. "Your husband?" Caitlin said surprised "You're married?" "Of course, for six years. Now I must go visit some people." Jamie said walking away. They went home after most people have left. The church committe offered to clean up for them. Jamie wanted to go home. She had to get on with her life.
Now, Angela, she was worried about Landon when he didn't come to school. She and Kenneth only knew about Landon, but she couldn't keep it a secret any longer. "He's married?!" Her best friend, Beth, was shocked "But he doesn't look like the marrying type. He seems like the party bachelor for life. Did he tell you her name?" "Yes, it's Jamie." She said smiling. "Isn't that a boys name?" "It can be both ways. Just then, Beth's boyfriend walks in. They are sitting in the cafetria. "Seth!" Beth yells. She waves for him to come over. He walks over and kisses Beth. "So, what's going on?" "Talking about Landon Carter." Angela answers. "What about him?" he asks wrapping an arm around Beth. "He's married Seth." Beth tells him. "What?" Seth was surprised too. "Yes, that's why you never see him with anyother girls or on campus for very long." Angela said standing up. "Well, he's got the old ball and chain on." Seth said.
