Chapter 2
Jamie POV:
I could not stop thinking about that guy. After I took Caitlin to school, I went to work. I work at a bookstore. I was organzing the books when my friend Taylor came up. "What are you thinking about so hard?" She asked crossing her arms and leaning against the bookcase. "Nothing" I said witha smile. I couldn't help it. I liked him. "Come on tell me." She was getting impatient. I shook my head and shrugged my shoulders. "Wait, did you meet a guy?" She asked smiling. I nodded my head. "It's about time." "What?" I could not believe what I was hearing. "Rodney has been dead for over a year. That's long enough. You should go out and have some fun." She said. I went back to the storage room. "No, I have a daughter to take care of." "Jamie, just because you're a mother doesn't mean you can't have fun. You may be 30, but that is still young." Taylor followed me. "He probably is thinking the same way." I said. "What?" Taylor asked. "He has a son. He probably is thinking about his son before anything else." "Wait, he has a son!" She was shocked and "Well then I would forget about him." She said. "Taylor Smith! Just because he has a son doesn't mean he's unavailable. His wife is dead too." I stormed out of the storage room. I could not believe what she just said.
Landon POV:
I was trying to keep busy at work but I couldn't Jamie's face kept popping in mind. She had a face of an angel although I've seen her before. My friend, Eric, woke me from my daydream. "Hey man." He said and asked "What's up with you? You've been acting weird lately." "It's nothing." I said as I started to work. "Alright. I better get back to work before I get in trouble. See ya later." He said walking away. I looked at my picture of Max. I have to do what is best for him.
After work, I drove over to Max's friend's house. Max runs out as soon as I pull up. I don't even have time to get out. "Hey, what's up?" I asked pulling away. "Nothing." He answered. He was acting weird. "Something happen today?" I asked concerned. "No." He replied quickly. We drove in silence. Finally, I pulled over a block away from our house. "Okay, what I know something happened today and I want you to tell me. What happened today?" I asked turning towards him. "Everybody was calling me a daddy's boy because I live with just my dad. Then I started to cry and then they were making of me for that. I hate having mom dead." He said as he started to cry. "Well Max, I hate her being dead too, but you shouldn't let this bother you. If you show no emotion to their remarks then they will stop, but if this continues, let me know and I will talk to your princpal. Now, I bought a gallon of ice cream, and I'm not going to eat it all by myself." I said. "Let's go home dad." He said excited. I put the car into gear and we went home.
Jamie POV:
I left work and went home. I sent Caitlin's baby-sitter home. I made supper for us. As we sat down for supper, I asked Caitlin "So, how was school?" "Not bad." She answered. "Anything happen?" I asked. "No, just that some people were making fun af this boy." She replied taking a bite of her potatoes. "Did you do anything?" I asked. "No" "Why not?" I asked. "Because, if I did, they would make fun of me. I dont want that." She said. "Caitlin, I raised you better. I taught you to help out when someone is being hurt." I said trying not to be mean. "I know mom. I just don't want to be made fun of. Ok?" She replied. "Yes, I understand, I know what it was like to be made fun of. But next time, will you try to help?" I asked. "Yes mom." We finished supper and I helped her with her homework.
When Caitlin went to bed, I decided to get out my old senior yearbook. I flipped through the pages and stopped when I saw something familiar. I knew I saw Landon Carter somewhere before. He went to Beaufort High. I came doing our senior year and we never really got along. I moved here with my parents and my brother and sister. My father got a Job offer when the built a new church. Anyways, I don't want to bring up any hurtful memories, only happy memories. I met Rodney there and when were both 21, we were married. After awhile, I put the yearbook away and went to bed.
Landon POV:
It is Saturday and I didn't have to work. I took Max to his football practice and then sat to watch him. I noticed some of the mothers whispering and looking at me. I knew they were divorced, but I paid no attention to them. Max held all my atttention. When we rode home, we talked about the upcoming game and Max's birthday. We drove past a bookstore. "Dad, can we go in there?" Max asked. "In where?" I asked stopping at a stop light. "In that bookstore back there?" He replied pointing backwards. I looked back. "Sure." We had to go around the block so we could park by the store. We got out and walked in. Max ran to the children's section and just wandered around. I didn't noticed a worker until I bumped into her. "Sorry." I said. "No, it's okay." She said turning around. I saw that it was Jamie, the lady from the cemetary. "Hi again." I said. "Hi to you too." She said. We talked for a few minutes. "So I thinking, would you like to go out sometime?" I asked. "Sure." Jamie replied with a nod and a smile and "Here, I'll give you my number." She wrote on a piece of paper and handed to me. "Thank you. I shall call you and see when is best for you." I said looking at the piece of paper. She nods. "Dad?" Max asks from behind me. "Yes Max?" I ask turning around. "Can I get this?" He asks holding up a book. "Sure." I take it and pay for it. I say good-bye to Jamie and we leave.
Jamie POV:
'Man, I hate working on Saturdays.' I thought. Taylor called in sick and only one other person could work but not until three. I was stocking the shelfs when someone bumped into me. He said sorry. We talked for a few minutes when he asked me out. I said yes and gave him my number. Then his son wanted to get a book so i scanned it and he paid. "Bye" He said opening the door. "Bye" I said waving as he left. Caitlin will not like this, but I have to do something for myself.
P.S. I'm sorry for the last POV. It was short and I wanted to get Jamie's POV on when Landon asks her out. I hope you like it anyways and please review.
