Herophine One Shots... 💖

Two weeks leave 🇬🇧 (2)

Hero

For as long as I can remember I've switched off my feelings and ignored the empty feeling I have from missing home, my friends and family but most of all Mercy she isn't just my sister she's my twin, the other half of me. Being here with her is amazing but it's also fucking with my head, seeing the life she's made for herself is stirring something inside me I should be happy that she has an amazing job, nice place and good friends around her but knowing I'm not here with her just makes me feel like shit. I've been here for three days now and today is the first full day I'm getting to spend with her since it's one of her few days off that she has during the next eleven days. She's doing fucking amazing out here she absolutely loves her job and I can just tell she's a top nurse I couldn't be any prouder of her than I am. Mercy decided we are going on a bar crawl she's convinced she will be able to outdrink me since I don't drink half as much as I did before I joined the army.

"I'm telling you now I'll drink your lanky ass under the table." She says as we walk into a bar called Tinys.

"I wouldn't get to cocky shithead just because I don't drink as often as I used to doesn't mean I've lost my edge... let's eat first though yeah I'm fucking starving." I say sitting down and grabbing a menu.

It doesn't take long for the pair of us to demolish our plates at least some things never change we are both greedy little fuckers always have been. Mercy has been giving me the rundown of her life here apparently she has a boyfriend named James who she can't wait for me to meet he also works at the hospital with her and Josephine. The minute she mentions her name im captivated there is so much I want to know about this blonde beauty who has conveniently been avoiding my ass since our little run in the other night but I know Mercy will see straight through me with that twin telepathy shit she claims she has if I start asking questions.

"I thought you said you could drink me under the table?" I laugh as she stumbles back to the table after going the bar for another round of shots.

"I'm just getting started asshole." I give her an hour.

"Yeah, yeah I'm going to be fucked burning all of this off tomorrow." I say downing the shot of tequila.

"Oh god you sound just like Jo every single time we go out no matter how much we drink and how hung-over she is she still makes sure she's in the gym or on a run at silly o'clock in the morning she actually reminds me a lot of you." so she's a fitness freak good to know.

"So how did you two meet and end up living together then... at the hospital?" I ask gulping the rest of my pint.

"Yeah we both started around the same time and got close pretty quick after a couple of months I convinced her to leave her asshole ex and offered her my spare room. I was there for her through all the shit she went through with Ty just the way she was there for me whenever I was missing home." I'm glad Merc found someone who is there for her whilst I can't be.

"Is Ty the ex? I'm glad you found a good friend out here Merc you seem really happy." I smile.

"Yeah he's a right prick he really fucked her over it took a while but she's finally starting to put it all behind her thank god. I am happy and that's mostly down to Jo I honestly don't know what I would do without her she's been great." She says playing with her glass.

"She doesn't seem like the type to let someone fuck her over." I say hoping to find out more.

"Now she won't but he really did a number on her he put her down constantly making her feel worthless telling her she was to fat and needed to wear more make-up and shit hence the no make up and obsession with the gym. He controlled everything she did she was never allowed to do her own thing even though he was out daily cheating it's like he got some sort of sick kick out of what he was doing to her. If she hadn't of come to work with a black eye she would probably still be there now." Mercy says her knuckles turning white as she grasps the edge of the table.
