"What is it Landon?" Jamie asked realizing what Landon had to say was serious.

"I...think we need to take a break, a long one," Landon said looking over at Jamie.

Jamie froze and dropped his hand. "What?" she asked praying what she heard wasn't what she was supposed to hear.

"Jamie, after having you taken like that made me see that us together, that only puts you in danger and I don't want that." He said softly.

"But Landon I don't care about any of that as long as I'm with you," Jamie said trying very hard not to raise her voice.

"Jamie I'm sorry, this can't go on," Landon replied firmly.

"Landon what are you talking about?" Jamie squeaked.

"I'm sorry Jamie, I never wanted to hurt you," Landon said standing.

Jamie opened her mouth to say something but she never got the chance Landon left before she could talk.

-

Landon really hated doing this to Jamie but Miller had somewhat of a point. Jamie was in danger if they were together. The enemy had an easy target, Jamie and Landon would never be able to live with himself.

"Things are better this way, they are." Landon said to himself.

He didn't know how wrong he was...

-

Jamie ran up to her room as soon as Landon left. Actually her room didn't much look like her room anymore. She had thrown everything around, overturned her desk and its chair, heck anything imaginable was done.

"How could he do this to me?" Jamie asked herself aloud.

Jamie thought they had something together, but no it was all lies. All she did was love him and he broke her heart, he only wanted her for sex, and she believed different.

Finally Jamie came to the conclusion that she wasn't going to make breaking things off with her easy for Landon. "You'll be sorry Landon Carter." She whispered.
