A/N- This Chapter is inspired by the Good Charlotte song "Say Anything".
Fabulous song, really. Also, once again I wrote this a while ago and never
updated. And like I said I forgot why Mandy left crying lol. So, I don't
really know what's going on here...
I think Mandy told Landon to move on and he couldn't so he blew up at her,
or Mandy thought Landon was just with her so he could be with Jamie in a
way.
Chapter 8- Say Anything
I went to the phone and picked it up. I looked down at my hand to see my ring gone. The guilt filled my stomach, but I swallowed hard and pushed it out of my mind. I picked up the phone and the paper that had Mandy's number on it, and slowly dialed.
"Hello?" Her perky voice said on the other end.
"Hi Mandy. Its me, Landon." That's when I could tell her perky feeling was gone.
Here I am on, the phone again, and
Awkward silence is on the other end.
"Oh. Hello." Her voice was lifeless, with no attitude.
I used to know the sound of a smile
In your voice, but right now (right now)
All I feel (all I feel)
Is the pain of the fighting starting up again.
"I need to talk to you. Can you come over?" I tried to sound sweet and caring.
"Why? So you can scream at me again?" The knot in my stomach got tighter. I tried to think back to everything she said to me.
All the things we talked about you know they stay on my mind (on my mind)
All the things we laughed about they'll bring us through it every time (after time after time)
I began why it hurt so bad to hear her talk like this. I didn't know her for a long time, but I knew I was falling for her. I just wanted her to know how I felt. I knew she felt the same way.
"Mandy, I'm sorry. I really am. I acted like a fool." She said nothing.
Don't say a word I know you feel the same
Just give me a sign.
Say anything
Say anything
I should've stopped her when she walked away. I should've told her I was sorry then. I began to think this then, as she still didn't talk.
Please don't walk away
I know you want to stay
If you'd just give me a sign
Say anything
Say anything.
I never had these problems with Jamie. We got into fights, before I truly loved her though. But that's when this all sunk in. Mandy wasn't Jamie, I thought she was like her, but she wasn't. And maybe that's why I fell for her.
Some say that time changes
Best friends can become strangers.
At the time Mandy and I were friends. And even though I wanted more, I was going to lose her as a friend too.
But I don't want that
No not from you.
If you just stay with me we can make it through.
When I met Jamie I had to make a decision, whether to take a chance and go for her or ignore her and go on with my life. The decision I had to make was like this one with Mandy. I could go on being a pitiful loser the rest of my life. Or, I could take a chance with Mandy. Even if we were friends, I just wanted something.
So here we are again,
Same old argument.
And now I'm wondering if things will ever change.
I loved the way Mandy smiled, it reminded me of Jamie. But there was more behind Jamie's smile. Mandy smiled brought me back to life.
When will you laugh again?
Laugh like you did back then
Make noise till 3am and the neighbors would complain.
I wanted Mandy so bad right then. "Mandy? Please."
All the things we talked about you know they stay on my mind (on my mind)
All the things we laughed about they'll bring us through it every time (after time after time)
Don't say a word I know you feel the same
Just give me a sign.
Say anything
Say anything.
Please don't walk away
I know you want to stay
If you'd just give me a sign
Say anything
Say anything
I heard her take a sigh into the phone, and I waited for an answer. For that would make or break me.
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling down
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling down
Down
Down
Down...
Don't say a word I know you feel the same
Just give me a sign.
Say anything
Say anything
Please don't walk away
I know you want to stay
If you'd just give me a sign
Say anything
Say anything.

"Mandy, come on! Say something! Say anything." I waited, and it finally came.
"I forgive you Landon. And I understand if you can't move on. Want me to come over tomorrow?" My heart skipped as the smile drew across my face.
"I'd love to."
I walked upstairs and when I looked at my drawer the guilt came back. I opened it up and saw the ring. I attached it to my necklace and lightly kissed it.
"She understands, Jamie. But I'm not leaving you yet. I can't." I wanted Jamie to give me a sign. A sign that it'd be okay to be with Mandy. That's all I wanted. "If you'd give me a sign Jamie. Please. If only you could say something, say anything to me."
TBC!!
Okay next chapter I wrote recently so I finally understand what's going on lol.
