I step on to the battle field, shaking, nervous.. Thinking about Larry..
Larry is a guy I met here in the army. He's beautiful, with nice brown eyes that stare into your heart.
I lifted up my assault rifle, finger shaking as I put it on the trigger, looking thru the scoop, I search the place for any enemies. I look next to me and see Larry swatting there with his rifle to his face looking around. I smile knowing he was by my side.
"Larry, if I don't make it out... I want you to know I love you" I yelled running off into the war zone.
"Jon.. Don't... I-I love you too" I heard him yell towards me.. I didn't want to go out in fight, I didn't want to have the fear of dying. I'm only 23 I have alot to live for, I shouldn't be fearing for my life when I am. I slowly turn corners making sure that I haven't been hunted down.

We get back to base, and sit down to have a cold meal. I sit down next to Larry who was breathing heavily from running so much. I put my hand on his back, I feel the fabric of his uniform on the rough palm of my hand when I rub his back. Larry looks over at me, I stare into his beautiful brown eyes.
"Jon... I don' t think I can do this anymore.. I almost got shot today.." Larry said.. I could hear the fear in his voice.
"Larry, you gotta do what you gotta do."

We are at another war zone getting ready for battle and I haven't talk to Larry in awhile. When I asked he told me nothing was wrong. I throw my pack over my shoulders and run out and at that moment I see something I never wanted to see.. ever.
There Larry ran smiling with another man... He was running by his side into the battle like he always did with me. I felt my heartbreak was this why Larry didn't talk to me anymore?
"Larry! I thought we had something going on" I yell to him.
"Jon, I don't have time for you" Larry yelled back and that's when my life felt like it had just ended.
