I walked up to the door and knocked three times. I never thought i that i would be coming here with tears streaming down my cheeks trying to hold back my sobs. 

I door opened and i was immediately pulled into the apartment and hugged. I broke down crying and wrapped my arms around his waist. "Oh, Ally. I am so sorry." Justin told me and just let me cry into his shirt. "Allison?" I held a woman say. I pulled away from Justin and saw Jane standing there with a hurt look. I walked quickly over to Jane and wrapped my arms around her. 

Jane is the woman that does the drawings from back in Iraq. But she's also one of my best friends. When i was brought back from being held i only talked to Sarge, Justin, Jane, and Zack. They were the people i was closest to over there. Jane was really the only woman i talked to. When i was at the base after being captured i had really bad nightmares. So every night for the month i was at base, before i came home, i was either in Justin's or Jane's arms falling asleep. Even then i still had the nightmares. 

"Oh, honey baby. I haven't even got to meet him and he breaks your heart. Oh, how i missed you Ally." She said to me. "I missed you too. What are you doing here?" I questioned as i pulled back. She grabbed my hand and pulled me to the couch. I sat in the middle and Jane was to my left and Justin to my right. 

"Well, i have been back in the states for about a month, now. And i never got your number, so i was going to surprise you. So, i came here and was going to stay for a week and then stay in Boston for a week for us. But now instead of us having a fun time talking about what we have missed. That idiot Chris broke your heart." She said. "Well, i would have loved that." I said and rested my head on her shoulder. 

"What happened, Allison?" Justin asked. "I was able to get off work earlier and come down for the night. So i was going to surprise Chris at his room. So i walked out of the elevator and turned to the hallway where his room was and saw him. He was pressed up against the door making out with the girl his is doing the photo shoot with. But before i left they opened the door and stumbled in. What am i going to do? I can't even look at my phone screen without crying. How am i going to face talking to him?" I asked and broke down crying again. "When do you have to go back to Boston?" Jane questioned me. I looked at my phone and saw that it was now mid-night. "My flight leaves 8. So i could have enough time for work." I told them. "Okay well, you are not leaving here. I can drop you off at the airport." Justin told me. "Thanks, Just. Can we go see Noah?" I asked and looked between them. They both nodded and we got up. 

We got in the car and made our way to him. We got out of the car and took a seat around him. Noah is one of our friends we lost. He was shot while we were trying to get women and children out of building. 

"It's been awhile, Noah. I think the last time i was here, we was putting you here. Man i wish you were here. If you were here with me being taken, there would be no one left alive around that place." I said and we let out a small chuckle. Noah and i did training together and we somehow have been stuck together after all this time. He died on the year before i was taken. "There would no one besides us for miles." Justin added and we laughed. 

We sat there for about two hours until going back to his apartment. Justin and Jane took me to the airport and i got on my flight. I figured out the way was i going to break up with Chris without having to see him. When i go home i am going to write a letter and slip it under his door.

I got to my parents house and told them what happened. I went back to my place and wrote the letter. I got ready for work and left, heading for Chris's house. I got there and slipped the letter under the door. This had to be the hardest thing i have ever done in my life. 

I got back in my car and drove to our park. A family was using the swings so i sat under a tree with my back against it and watched the mother push her son and daughter. And before you come at me for watching a family, that's all i have ever wanted. I wanted to have two beautiful kids with the right man. I started tearing up thinking about it. 

"What are we going to do, Guppie?" I said to myself and put a hand to my stomach. 


I am sorry for the double cliff hanger, but i couldn't help myself.
