The Quiet One
Section 5
    Jamie went to the bus that day. She saw him, the boy without a name. She looked at him, and he looked back. They made eye contact, and Jamie thought her heart may have skipped a beat. But before she started to like him again…she turned and walked away and got on the bus. He was never on in the afternoons, so she never had to worry about it. But Jamie looked out the window as the bus was passing by, she saw him looking at her, and she looked back. She watched him looking at her as her bus drove away…she somewhere inside never wanted to let go of her feelings for him. But there was a stronger power over her, telling herself to let him go because she and him will never be.
   That’s one thing Jamie hated about herself. She always doubted herself. She always worked as hard as she could to leave her emotions out of things, because she felt that whenever her emotions got involved, everything became messed up, and ruined.
   Jamie always had insecurities, as any other teenage girl did, she was always scared that she wasn’t good enough. She always feared that no one would ever like her the way she liked them’ and that was her biggest fear this time. Jamie was scared that the boy without a name…would never like her the way she liked him. And that is why she never wanted to try and gamble at it.
   Jamie never gambled in the game of love, she new love hurt. Her parents got a divorce when she was little. She was 6 years old when her mother came home one day, Jamie was in her room, playing with her toys. Since she was little she was quiet and reserved. So this was no big deal. But Jamie’s mother came home that day early from work and she didn’t know where anybody was. Her mother saw there was no car in the drive way, so she went inside, she shouted out,
   “Anybody home? Where is everybody?”
   Jamie ran out of her room and hugged her mother. She always felt a connection with her mother that she didn’t feel with her father. Her mother picked her up and hugged her tightly she asked little Jamie,
   “Where’s daddy?”
   Jamie shrugged and said,
   “Iunno where he went, I heard the door open and close but he never said anything.”
   Jamie’s mother became worried when she heard that. She picked up her phone calling him thousands of times; but he didn’t answer a single time. Her mother sat on the couch worrying and waiting for him to come home. Jamie crawled up on her mothers lap and hugged her mother tightly. Jamie new something was wrong, she may have only been a little 6 year old girl, but she could just tell.
   15 minutes before the time that Jamie’s mother normally got home, they heard the door open. Then shut again. Her father didn’t even go in to see them. He went straight into her parents bedroom and shut the door. Jamie’s mother told Jamie to wait there on the couch as her mother got up and went down there. Jamie heard her mother go into the room. She started to hear yelling and screaming and fighting. Jamie was only 6 years old, and she started to cry. She did as her mother said to do, and she just sat there on the couch and cried.
   Jamie’s father stormed out of there bedroom and went outside. Jamie looked out the window and all she saw was the rear lights of his car as he pulled away. Jamie’s mother stayed in her bedroom and cried the entire night. Jamie was scared, really really very scared. She went into the kitchen, she got herself a bowl of cereal for her dinner, she washed her face, and then went and tucked herself into bed.
   That night Jamie barely slept. she could hear her mother sobbing in the room next door. Jamie cried. She somehow knew how badly her mother hurt. She could feel her mothers pain. From then on, Jamie knew that love, no matter how strong it may seem; it doesn’t last.
   When Jamie got older, her mother told her, that when her father left that day. He was with someone else. He had cheated on her mother that day. It broke Jamie’s heart, and she swore she would never be the same again.
   So for Jamie, when her feelings started to come for the boy without a name. She did whatever she could to make them go away. Because she swore she would never end up like that. She would never in her life want to put her children through that, because she knew what it felt like, and she knew that no one deserved a pain like that. No matter what.
   Jamie knew that she was going to have to change something so her feelings went away. But somewhere, way deep deep inside her heart, she knew that in all honesty, she really didn’t want to have those feelings go away. Because sometimes those feelings are all that got her through the day.
