Things are about to get real.
Lizzie sat in the passenger seat if Ms. Bennett's car as they pulled up to Jamie's school. And saw that he was talking to some friends so Lizzie rolled down the window.
"Jamie!" She yelled. Nothing. "Jamie come on!" She yelled again. Again still no answer. She looked over to Ms. Bennett. "I swear your child is deaf." She said with a laugh. Then she got on her knees in the seat so the top half of her body was sticking out of the window. She put her fingers in her mouth and whistled a old fashioned New York taxi whistle." HEY! HEY YO JAMIE! GET IN THE CAR!" She yelled playfully. Jamie looked up in the direction of her shouting and laughed. His friends gave him a confused expression.
"Um Jamie? Who are you laughing at?" Asked Claude who looked over to the car and just saw an empty seat with an open window.
"I'll tell you guys tomorrow. Bye!" He said as he ran towards the car and hopped in the back seat next to Sophie. "Hi Lizzie!" He said cheerfully.
"Hey kiddo, we're gonna go get ice cream if your okay with that." She said as she slid back into her seat and buckled up.
"Are you kidding!? I've always got time for ice cream!" He yelled in reply
" Ice cream! Ice cream! Yay!" Chimed in Sophie.
"I thought so" she said with a smile. Something made her look down at the ring on her finger. It was a beautiful ring, not too big but just the right size. It had a diamond no bigger than a pupil with two smaller ones on each side. There were carvings of swirls on the band that would make you stare at it for hours and never get tired of it. She went deep into her memories and remembered being told that her boyfriend made it from scratch. He must have been really talented because she wouldn't remember otherwise. Ms. Bennett looked down at the ring as well and smirked
"Who's the special someone?" She asked also fascinated by the ring but kept her eyes on the road.
Lizzie still looked at the ring with curious eyes. "Jackson Overland" She said carelessly. She shot her head up strait with eyes full of shock. Jamie who was drinking water out of his water bottle sprayed it out of his mouth eyes also wide. Was that really his name? It sounded so right.
"Jamie!" Complained Ms. Bennett as she wiped water off her glasses.
"Sorry mom! But Lizzie, do you know who he really is?" He asked with question in his eyes.
Lizzie turned around to meet his eyes with her own. "Who?" She whispered curiously
Jamie sighed. "Lizzie, it's Ja-" but he was interrupted as a semi carrying gasoline crashed into her side of the car and made it flip two times. The windows shattered causing glass to fly and Jamie and Sophie screamed. The car crashed into the side of a building and the semi lost control causing its side to crash into the hood of the car and Ms. Bennett to scream in pain.
