Chapter Nine

JAMIE

I can still remember when the documentary debuted on television. I’d saved up my money from doing random chores around the neighborhood to buy a blank VHS tape, making sure I could record the life story of Jerry Ellis.

He was remarkable, and his story was nothing short of amazing. For years, I watched that tape, so much that I came to know the words by heart. Jerry Ellis was an icon in my small town, and I couldn’t believe someone from so close to where I grew up could become so successful.

The documentary told all about his past, which was exceptionally interesting, but what I remember the most was his life at the time of filming. He had five children, and the cameras followed them around as they played in the pool and practiced their instruments as Jerry Ellis looked on.

I used to dream that he could be my dad, and every time I performed with my school band, I pretended he was in the crowd watching, critiquing my work like a proud dad. I studied his work like it was a subject in school, and can still attribute his style an influence to my current taste in arts.

Jerry Ellis was so charismatic and seemed to be the nicest person in the world. He was always smiling, creating, and encouraging others to do the same. That documentary shaped my life in more ways than I can even imagine. As a child, I’d see myself in his work and believe I could create something as unforgettable as he did.

That feeling of being watched is back upon me, and sure it must be the girls again, I turn with a forced smile, but to my surprise it’s Sam, watching me intricately.

“Was he as nice as he seemed?” I ask him, looking back to the photographs of his dad.

“Probably nicer. I’ve never met anyone as kind and generous as my dad. I’m always reminding myself how he would want me to give more,” he smirks, thinking of his dad.

“You look like him,” I notice.

I never looked at Jerry Ellis as an attractive man, because I was so obsessed with him as an artist, but I’ve heard other women remark about how sexy he was. To me, he was brilliant, and anything else is a bit of an insult.

Now, looking at Sam, who I find to be the most attractive man I’ve ever seen, I can see his father, and finally the sexiness those women gawked at. Sam’s eyes light up when I tell him he looks like his father, and I realize that I may have met the first person to be a bigger Jerry Ellis fan than me.

“I’ve heard that all my life,” he smiles, running his fingers through his hair.

“I used to watch this documentary about him every single day when I was little,” I reveal, having never shared that with another soul.

“I remember that documentary. Nikki was convinced we were going to be movie stars when the cameras showed up,” he chuckles at the memory.
