Letters to Houston(Completed)

Chapter Twenty- One

It's finally over! NOOOOO )': BOO HOO. but here it is. The last legit chapter Of "Letters to Houston" 

The doctor pointed to a little thing on the screen.

            “It’s a boy, congratulations!” He smiled and tears streamed down my face.

            “Have you chosen a name or anything?” He asked me again.

            “I had names picked out, but now that my fiancé and I split, I’m changing it. I’m going to call him Draden.” I smiled and ran my fingers across the little bump protecting baby Draden.

            The doctor gave me the okay to leave, so I walked out to the waiting room. I seen Gracie standing there with a concerned look on her face.

            “Jamie, I tried to tell him to leave, but he wont” She pointed out the window to Shane standing by my car.

            “Oh, come on!” I walked out the door, and made my way to him. We met in the middle.

            “Jamie, listen to me, you have to forgive me!” Shane grabbed ahold of my wrists.

            “No, I can’t.  You played me! You downright played me. You expect me to forgive you?” I tried to get taller to his level, but I’m not as tall as I wish I could be.

            “No, I don’t. Do it for the baby! He or she needs me” Shane tried to point out.

            “Draden and I will be just fine without the likes of you in my life.”

            “Changed his name already?”

            “We’re through, Shane. Why can’t you get that through your head?”

            “Because I love you, Jamie”

            Then, out of no where, Shane planted a kiss right on my lips. He deepened the kiss after a while. I heard Gracie gasp from the car. When the kiss was over, I didn’t know what to say.

            “Forgive me yet?” Shane asked me.

            “I think it’s best if I leave, and we’re officially broken up.” I whispered. I got in my car, and I felt tears streaming down my face. I put on my seat belt, started the car, and drove off.

            The drive home was silent, there wasn’t much to be said. I pulled over eventually to let Gracie take the wheel, she continued to drive in silence.

Shane’s POV.

            I paced back and forth. I had to play out this in my head. I was already back home from the devastating break up between Jamie and I, but I wasn’t ready to let this all slip. I had the world with her. I just had to be stupid and do the worst.

            It wasn’t my fault Netasha came on to me, and her friend just happened to be there, and pointed it out. I only had my arms around her to push her off me. Why was their goal to split up Jamie and I? She doesn’t need this. She just doesn’t.

            What kind of person am I to let her walk away? Why did I do that?

            I kicked myself for realizing that I lost the worst thing ever. I sat on the floor, and cried. I cried worse then I ever have. Shane Houston fell in love, and lost it. He lost his love… Damn, I’m stupid. What the hell was I thinking?

            Few things ran through my mind.

~*~

            Weeks passed, and days of watching Jamie hobble around with the baby in her stomach made me want to be with her worse. I watch her laugh with her friends by her locker. I watched her walk to her gym class, that of course she had to sit out of.

            I watched her eat her lunch, like she didn’t even care that our love had gone. Every night, just like every night, I tried to plan a way to get her back, and every night, the same bitter reality hit me. I was never going to get Jamie back. I did the worse thing I could do to her, after she had gotten out of the hospital. I had only cheated the one time. Once was enough. I’m stupid.

            Tonight, after dinner in silence with my folks, I got in my truck. I made my way to Gracie’s house.  When I finally got there, I knocked on the door.

            “Shane, get out of here” Gracie tried to shut the door, but I moved quickly then she did.

            “Gracie, I want to be friends with Jamie. How do I do that?” I asked slowly.

            “Be her friend? What are you nuts?” Gracie motioned for me to come inside.

            “No, well… yes, because I know she’ll never forgive me, but I want to be her friend. For Drake.”

            “Draden” She answered quickly.

            “Sorry.  How do I do it? Please help me?”

            Gracie took me up to her room, and we lounged around and laughed about memories we both had. We talked about Jamie’s mom some. Then we talked about her pregnancy.

            We finally came up with a plan after 3 hours of hanging out just the two of us.

Jamie’s POV.

            “No, I’m not hungry” I yelled at Gracie

            “Draden is!” She pretty much sang.

            We walked into the lunchroom, and got our lunches. I picked around my plate until Gracie stuffed my food down my throat. I sat in silence.

            “Um, is this thing on?” A voice says into a microphone.

            Everyone looked up… Oh my god….

            “Cool, it is. I’m Shane Houston, and I have something to read to all of you.” Shane got a note out of his pocket. “Dear Jamie Laurence.  What I have done is the stupidest thing in the world. We were together for longer then six months, and engaged for two weeks. I don’t know what possessed me to cheat. Honestly, I don’t. You hate me, and I know you do. I know you probably want to kill me just as much as the next girl. You’re so beautiful. I know I’ll never win your heart back, so I’m just trying to ask for your friendship. As for everything to be okay. I’m tired of pacing back and forth, wondering how different everything would be if I wouldn’t have been a dumb bastard. Jamie, I’m not asking for forgiveness. But can you at least be my friend.”

            I couldn’t help but laugh. I stood up, and gave Shane a hug.

            “Friends.” I said plainly. Then he let his breath go, and we sat down to eat our lunch.

            Shane Houston, I still love you.
