Chapter 6: The Big One part 1
Landon POV:
I am packing to go visit my father. I didn't want to, but Jamie talked me into it. She was right. I should spend time with him, because he is alive. Although I still consider him not part of my family.
"Landon, Jamie is here!" I heard my mother yell from downstairs. Then I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and a knock on my door.
"Come in." I said. Jamie walked in and I said "Hi."
"Hi Landon." She said walking further in the room and asked "Do you need any help?"
"No." I replied. She seemed different today. She's usually very cheery and smiles, today she seems gloom and frowns.
"Something happen?" I asked zipping up my bag.
"What makes you think something happened?" She snapped back.
"You're just not your usually self." I said.
"I'm moving." She said.
"What?" I asked.
"My father got a job in Wilmington. We are moving in a couple of weeks." She explained.
"Will you be here for the rest of the school year?" I asked.
"Yes, but I won't be graduting with you, next year." She said with tears running down her cheeks.She wipes her tears and said "I'm sorry."
"Why did your father take the job?" I asked.
"Better pay, bigger church and community. I told him that I could stay with Sally so I could finish at Beaufort, but he said no. I have to move with him and finish at a different highschool." Jamie explained.
I was getting ready to leave. Jamie was still there and I was loading my car.
"Have fun, Landon. Behave yourself and don't get into any fights. Please?" My mother begged.
"I'll try." I said.
"Bye Landon." Jamie said hugging me.
"I promise to buy you both something." I said opening my car door.
"Landon, you don't have to." Jamie said.
"I will anyways." I said slidding into the front seat. I shut the door.
"Bye Carter." Jamie said.
"Bye Sullivan." I said pulling away. They waved until I was out of sight.
Jamie POV:
My father showed me a picture of the church and the house we were to live in. I kept trying to explain that I want to stay here and finish highschool with my friends. He just doesn't understand.
"But why?" I asked that night.
"Because, Jamie, it is a bigger community and better pay. I want what's best for you and me." He said.
"What's best for me is to gradute with my friends." I said again.
"The answer is no. You are to move with me. It will be good for you to get out of this small town and meet new people." He said standing up and mumbled "Especially that Carter boy."
"What? Is that it? Is that why you won't let me stay? Is that why you took this job." I asked.
"No. Yes that is why I won't let you stay, but no that is not why I took this job, Jamie. I took it for many different reasons. Now let's just drop it. You are not staying and that is finally." He said.
"You no what, dad? I am staying." I said grapping my purse and "I'll be at Sally's." I ran out the door and hopped in my car.
"Jamie, what happened?" Sally said stepping outside.
"Me and my dad had a fight. Can I stay here?" I asked.
"Sure, let me ask. Come in." Sally said letting Jamie in. She walked to the other room. She came back and said "Yes, you can stay, but where are you things?" I held up my purse.
"This is all I grapped." I said. Sally giggled.
Landon POV:
When I got to my dad'd house, he came out and greeted me.
"Hi son." He said.
"Hi dad." I said, trying to be nice. He got my bag out and we walked to the house.
"Hello Landon." Denise said. She was the woman my father cheated with on my mother.
"Hi." I simple said. She looked bigger than ever.
That night, at supper. We were eating in silence.
"Son, me and Denise have something to tell you." He said breaking the silence.
"What?" I asked.
"Landon, we are having a baby." Denise said. She's pregnant? Is that why my father married her as soon as the divorce papers were in?
I sat silent.
"Are you ok?" My dad asked.
"Yes, I am happy for you. Can I be excused?" I asked. Dad nodded and I got up and left the table. I went to the nearest bathroom.
I'm going to be a brother? Is this why he asked my here, to tell me about the baby? Oh well, my mother is going to love this.
The next day. I bought Jamie and mom something.
It was night when I called my mom.
"Are you behaving?" She asked.
"Yes." I said.
"Yow wouldn't be lying to me would you?" She asked. She can usually tell if I am, but she can't over the phone.
"I am telling you the truth." I said.
"So anything new?" She asked. I was going to tell her, but I thought I wait and see her face.
Jamie POV:
I spent the night at Sally's. Landon was coming home the next day, so I had to figure out what to do with out him.
My father called a half a dozen times, but I was in no mood to talk to him. I know I was wrong about storming out, but he had no right to move somewhere just because he disliked Landon.
"Jamie, you are gonna have to talk to him sooner or later." Sally's mother said.
"Just not now." I said. I couldn't wait for Landon to come home. Then I could stay with him.
That night. I was still at Sally's. I decided to give my dad a call.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Hi dad." I said calmly. I was scared that he was going to yell at me.
"Jamie, are you alright?" He asked.
"Yes." I said.
"When are you coming home?" He asked.
"Soon, I just need to cool off and think about the move." I said sitting down on the bed.
"I was thinking about your request. The one where you would stay here to finish school with your friends. It may be possible." He said.
"Really?" I asked jumping up.
"Yes." He replied. I heard Sally yelling for me.
"Dad, that is very wonderful, but I really have to go now. I will talk to you later." I said. We hung up and I ran to find Sally.
Landon POV:
It was time to go home. I said bye to my dad and Denise and told them that I was happy for them. I pulled away from their house and took off home.
When I got there, my mom and Jamie were waiting for me.
"So was it as bad as you thought?" Jamie asked as I took my bag out.
"No. Mom I have news for you." I said as we walked to the house.
"What? Did he divorce the home wrecker?" She asked. We enter the house.
"No. She is pregnant." I said.
"What? Your not kidding are you?" She asked.
"No, she is ten times bigger than when they got married." I said. My mother laughed.
"This is fabulous. She can have his babies, and his life. But she can never have what he has givin me." She said.
"What would that be? A check every month?" I asked.
"No. A wonderful son. Now, would you like something to eat?" She said walking into the kitchen.
"No, mom. I'm just gonna go upstairs and unpack." I said heading up the stairs. Jamie followed me.
When we got into my room, Jamie said "Me and my dad got into a fight."
"What about?" I asked unzipping my bag.
"About us moving. I got all hiffy about not be able to stay with Sally to finish school her and stormed out. I have been staying with her this weekend." She explained sitting down on the bed.
"Your missing Easter with your father?" I asked throwing my dirty clothes in my hamper.
"Yes, but we are settling terms. He might exactly let me stay." She said and asked "Did you have fun?"
"It was ok, I guess. I saw the old house where we used to live and actually visited some old friends." I said sitting on the bed next to here.
"Did they still remember you?" She asked smiling.
"Of course they'd remember me. I was the bad-ass of the school. My picture is on the Hall of Shame." I said. Jamie laughed.
"Is that what you were trying to do here? Reclaim your crown?" She asked looking away.
"No, I just wanted to be with people like my old friends and made the mistake that they weren't, they were meaner." I said looking at her and remembering what they did to her.
"Life is based on mistakes." She replied.
"Learning from them?" I asked.
"Yes." She replied.
"A theory?" I asked.
"No just a belief." She said looking up. She looked back at me and said "Yes, Landon, I have other beliefs besides the one my father teaches every Sunday."
I heard someone knock on my door.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Landon, I'm going out for awhile. Will you be fine by yourself?" My mom asked on the other side of the door.
"Yes." I replied. We said bye and she left. Then I asked "What are your other beliefs?"
"That there is a reason for everything, love at first sight, that there is only one person out there for you, and you only fall in love once." She told me.
"So what is the reason behind meeting me?" I asked curiously.
"I don't know. I'm still trying to figure that out." She said and laughed. I love her laugh. I silenced her laugh by kissing her. Such soft lips.
"Landon." She breathed out. We fell on the bed.
Jamie POV:
I could not believe what I just did. Did I just make love to Landon? I could stop thinking about that when we were finished. I did love him, although it was testing my beliefs. Maybe this is why we were to meet. He is the person I am supposed to love.
"Jamie. Are you ok?" He asked stroking my hair.
"Yes, I was just thinking" I replied. He smiled and kissed me.
"What were you thinking about?" He asked.
"What we just did." I said smiling at him. He kissed me once again. I nuzzled my head onto his chest. He held me closer and tighter.
We laid there for awhile longer and then we got up and dressed. Then I sat on the bed, trying to fix my hair as best I could. I was dressed, Landon wasn't. His phone rang and he answered it.
"Hello?...Sorry, no....I just can't, Dean....Bye." Is all he said while talking on the phone. He hung up.
"What did Dean want?" I asked.
"He wanted to see if I could come back to the group." He said pulling his jeans on.
"Why?" I asked.
"He said they needed me." He replied and asked "Where's my shirt?" I looked for it and found that I was sitting on it. I threw it at him.
"Was he upset?" I asked. I wasn't trying to be nosey.
"Oh yes." Landon replied putting his shirt on.
"Are you happy?" I asked giving up on my hair.
"About what?" He asked opening a window.
"That you deflowered the Virgin Mary?" I asked.
"Jamie." He said sitting next to me.
"Landon." I said back.
"Jamie, I am happy, but not for that reason." He tried to explain.
"What reason?" I asked.
"Because you are here with me." He said taking my hand between his and asked "Aren't you?"
"Yes." I said sincerely.
"Then why did you say that?" He asked.
"Because that is what people are going to ask if they find out." I said.
"They won't." He said and "You can trust me. I won't tell anyone."
"I won't either." I said. We kissed and then walked downstairs, leaving the evidence of what we did upstairs.
P.S. What da ya Think? I know this isn't like Jamie at all, but I want her to be different from the movie and book.
