A walk to remember.
15 years & 7 months ago
30th May 2009 00:48 One day when Jake was at school he noticed a new girl. Her name was Jessica. Jake was sitting down staring at Jessica for ages. Then one of Jake's friends said "Dude! You can do WAY better than that, seriously you could have the whole cheerleading team dude!", "whateva, man" replied Jake.
The next day at school Jake was walkign through the hall, when he noticed that Jessica had dropped her books. Everyone around her was laughing and pointing, so Jake started to walk up to her, when his friends pulled him away. As they walked past Jessica and Jake stared at each other. "DUDE! snap out of it!" said one of Jakes friends.
On the second last week of the term, when Jake was in Maths class he sat next to Jessica.
He said "Hi im-"
"Jake, yeah. I know, football captain , basketball captain, and soccer captain." interuppted Jessica.
"Yes. And you are jessica. The new girl" said jake
"yes. That is correct." replied jessica.
Then their maths teacher (Mr fasoat} started to hand out their grades.
"Jessica, A plus! Very well done!" said Mr fasoat
"Jake, D minus. I'm not very impressed. I think that you might need a bit of tutoring." said Mr Fasoat
"Jessica, would you mind tutoring Jake here?"
"um...no sir......thats fine sir...." replied jessica
After class Jake asked jessica "so, what time should I come over each day?"
"whenever. As long as it's before 6:30" replied jessica
"Would I be able to come over straight after school?" asked Jake
"yeah, I guess" said jessica as she walked off
'wait. what will my friends think when they find out that I'm going to jessica's house? maybe, I should go home and then go to jessica's house afterwards.' Jake thought to hinmself.
From then on each day, after school Jake would pass jessica's house, go to his house, fthen go back to jessica's house.
'This is silly!' Jake thought, I'll just have to tell the guys.
So at school he told the guys, and he felt much better. But from then on, it seemed as though Jake's 'friends' didn't like him anymore. They weren't talking to him when they passed in the halways, they didn't with him at lunch, they evenn voted for a new captain on the football team, basketball team, and even the soccer team.
From then on Jake relised that he LOVED Jessica, so they started to go out. And they hung onto their relationship for a very long time.
But then Jake came the day that Jake found out Jessica's secret.....
Jake and Jessica were out the back of Jessica's house, sitting on the swings.
when jessica said "Jake. Can you promise me one thing?"
"yeah, anything?"
"will you love me till the day I die. Because I know that you won't have to love me for long."
"what?....wha...wha....what are you saying?"
"Jake. I only have a week to live. I have this thing, I can't remember what it's called, but I'm going to die soon"
There was a very long silence. Then Jessica's Dad yelled "Jake your mum's here!"
And Jake left.
That night Jake kept thinking about what jessica had said, and he decided to make her last week on earth, the best week of her life.
Jessica put together a list of things that she wanted to do before she died. And Jake decided to make them all happen.
First Jessica wanted to be in two places at once. So Jake drove her to the border line.
"Put one foot on that side of the side, and the other on the other side" Jake said to jessica.
"Now your on two places at once!" Jake laughed.
Then they pulled out Jessica's list and had a look at the other things:
-Go skiing
-Toast marshmellows on a fire
-Get a dog
-Plant a vegetable garden
-Get married
They did all, but the last thing on jessica's list.
Jessica so much fun, she loved every second!
On Friday, Jake asked Jessica if she would go for a walk in the park with him, and hse said yes.
So they went to the park, they climbed all the tree's, played on the playground, sat on the bench. And then they just went for a walk, as they were walking Jake said "wanna complete the last thing on your list?"
"what?" asked jessica
Jake grabbed out a ring,
"Jessica, will you marry me?" replied Jake
"Of course!" replied Jessica
Jake and Jessica's wedding, was just a small one, at Jake's house where they invited friends and family.
By 8:00 Jessica was in the hospital, with Jake sitting by her side, and her parents and Jake's parents sitting outside the room.
"Jake you have made me feel like the luckiest girl alive. Just remember I will always love you." said jessica.
As the night went on Jessica, passed away. Jake sat there crying his heart out, as all the parents came rushing in.
From then on, Jake lived his life knowing that he made a girl who thought she was a nobody feel like a somebody.
I hope you liked my story, I based it on the movie A walk to remember, but most of it was mine!
