Ryan's Above

Ryan's POV
It has been like five days since I have left. We are getting
our mail tomorrow at lunch. I am hopping one of my brothers sent me
mail asking why I left, cause I really need to talk to one of them at
least. They are also giving us our phones to keep only while we are
base so I guess I could just call one of them and talk. I finely just
called Allen so we could talk. I have not seen him since I left and
before that for seven years. I rarely talk or see him anymore. Out of
all my brothers he was my favorite. He understood me when we talk,
held me when I upset and crying, or just he wanted to hang out with
his only sister for a change. It was fun to be like all the other guys
and not ne a girl. They were not afraid to get hit while girls were I
was not a girl so I played with the boys and got hit. They showed me
that living ruff was fun and daring. I took so much of my time with
school and everything that I would forget about my friends that were
girls and hang out with my brothers and their friends. My brother told
me that who they were friends with they were my friends also. One time
I remember my brothers setting me up on a date and they brought the
guy to one of our games. It was so funny the guy look at me like I was
crazy. I was going to play tackle football with guys without pads and
it was in the mud. After the game was over he told me I was really
good then ran away like he was scared of me now that I showed how good
I could play. Then another time they did it the guy was playing with
us and he told me he was going to go easy on me and told him not to
and then next thing you know he is on he was ground breathing hard
like he just got done running a marathon. I was over here barley
breaking a sweat and not breathing hard. Once again they guy looked at
me like I was a freak and crazy and then scrambled off the field to
take of the cuts on his face and body. Talk about a guy, he could
barely take a hit and it was from at girl. He was beat by a girl.
Hahahahahahahaha. I ended up winning the game.
When we got the letters I was not looking for one from Michael,
Richard, and Calum. It looked like Michael was the one who wrote the
letter and the boys just put their names on it. He told me that he was
going to give me a promise ring but now that I left he does not want
that anymore. He wants me to marry him. He was the first guy that a)
my brothers did not set up with me b) actually told me he loved me and
wants to keep it going and whatnot. When I respond I don't know what I
am going to tell him. The bad part about him confessing his love for
me is that before him I was dating this guy named Cable. What I did
not know was that he also joined war. We were on the same team and had
to talk and be with each other. We rekindled that flame one the second
day I was there. We got back together and I broke up with Michael the
day I told my brother that I could never love someone. The only reason
that I dated Michael of Cable was because they liked me for me. So I
will respond with a nice explanation but leave of Cable from the
message.
Dear Michael,
I don't know how to break this to you. The day I told my
brother that I could never love anyone was the day that I broke up
with you. I am so so so sorry that you did not get my hint. Also the
first day I met you on the plane was the day that I got my response to
come join the army and who pass up that offer. I have been wanting
this my whole life. I sent in a paper when I was eight and they are
just now letting me in. I know people here from high school or from
the other colleges that I was at before I went to TTU. Tell my
brothers that I love them I will be going out to fight in a month. I
just want to let you know that. I wish that I could have been there
with you but I did not was to see the hurt in your eyes once you found
out what I was doing going to war. I will see you soon and leave a
spot open for me you never know I might not mean what I say about not
really loving you ask my brothers for help if you don't understand
anything about this our dad did this so they know the drill. Well bye
Michael I hope that you don't love someone else by the time I get back
in six months.
Love you so much Ryan and all
the others at war:)
