Allison and Chris have grown up together. Their mom's have been friends since they were kids. But what happens when Chris falls for his best friend. What happens when Allison comes back from being away in Iraq for the army for almost three years. Wh...
"Hey Lisa!" I said into the phone. "Hey hon. Are you on your way?" She questioned. "Yep. I am on my last flight. Is everything ready for tomorrow?" I asked hopefully. "Everything is set in place and he has no clue." Lisa told me. It made me smile. "Okay. I just wanted to check in. I have to go, but thank you Lisa. It means a lot." I told her. "Of course, hon. Have a safe flight. We can't wait to see you. Bye." "Bye." I said and then hung up the phone. I took my seat again. And couldn't stop smiling.
My name is Allison Carter. And i have been with the Army for 13 years. In 2011 a little before Chris's Captain America movie came out i was sent to Iraq, and i have been there for three years and haven't talked to Chris or anyone from home during that time. I am a sniper and look out for the Army.
About a month before i was supposed to get out, i was captured. I was tortured and beaten to try and get information. But i never said a word. About a month ago my unit found me and took me back to the base. And now i am on a plane that is taking me back to Boston. And tomorrow is Christmas so i am surprising Chris.
I had Lisa tell everyone besides Chris that i was coming home. So, i can't stop smiling about seeing my best friend. Knowing Chris he is going to never going to let me go again. I am going to call it now that when he leaves to go shoot a movie again he is going to ask me to go with him, me and Scott have money on it.
The plane landed and surprising there was no snow yet. I really hope that it snows tomorrow so we can have a white Christmas. I get my bags and get a taxi. "So, where you coming from?" The driver asked. "Iraq. I haven't been home in three years. So i am surprising a friend. Just coming home from the Army." I said with a smile. "Well, thank you for your service. You grow up in Boston?" "Born and raised. I can't imagine being anywhere else." The rest of the ride was quiet.
He pulled up to my parents place and i got out. I grabbed my bags and walked up to the house. I grabbed the key from under the light that was outside and opened the door. "Ma! Dad!" I yelled. I heard a scream and footsteps getting louder.
My dad came first and hugged me. I started crying and my mom came behind me so we were in a group hug. They pulled away and looked at me. I smiled and mom of course was crying, and dad was trying to keep it in but he had a few tears fall. "Oh, my baby is home." my mother said. "Yes she is." Dad said. "Where's Luke?" I asked. "Right here." I heard a voice from a ways behind them.
I ran over and jumped on him. I wrapped my arms and legs around him and cried in his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around me and buried his face in my neck. Luke is my older brother. I am 33 and he is 36. He has always been there for me. I remember when i was in high school my boyfriend cheated on me and i had to hold Luke back from beating the shit out of him. I wasn't worried about Chris beating him up because has never been like that. When i left for the Army saying bye to Luke and Chris was the hardest goodbye. Yes, even over my parents.
"I missed you so much." I said between sniffles. "I missed you too, Al." Him and Chris are the only people in the world that call me Al. At first i hated it but then after them calling me it for over 20 years, it grew on me.
We had dinner and i went up for bed. I was jet lagged and i had to be up early so i could beat Chris to his mom's house. We usually go over around 10:00 but i was going around 9:00 because Chris shows up early.
I got up and took a shower. I got ready in this for today.
