Kane POV
The year was 1938. I was nearly done with my senior year and proud of it. I had such huge plans for when graduation rolled around. But as of the moment I just reached my front door.
Kane: "I'm home."
Mom: "In the kitchen."
I head there to see mom fixing dinner while dad was doing the daily crossword.
Dad: "How was school?"
Kane: *sits* "Good."
Mom: "Do anything exciting?"
Kane: "Aside from ace the final exam."
They both smile.
Dad: "I told you all that studying would pay off."
Mom: "Seems we'll have to go out and celebrate tonight."
Kane: "About that. I was wondering if it'd be alright if I use the car tonight to take Angela on a date."
Dad looks at me.
Dad: "You're spending an awful lot of time with her as of late."
Kane: "Well yeah, we've been together for almost five years. Meaning I think it's time."
Mom: "Time for what?"
I smile.
Kane: "I'm gonna ask her to marry me."
Dad becomes a little surprised.
Dad: "Won't that ruin your plans of joining the military?"
Kane: "I did some thinking and... I'm not going. I love Angela and wanna spend my life with her."
Mom: "I don't know Kane. Marriage is a big decision."
Dad: "Oh come on honey. We were fifteen and look how well we turned out."
Mom: "We also had my dad's allowance to fall back on."
Dad: "Let the boy go for it. What's the worst that can happen?"
Mom maintains an unsure look.
Mom: "Just don't get hurt."
Kane: "I won't mom."
I smile trying to reassure her. But little did I know, that this would only be the beginning of my troubles.
*timeskip presented by Kane trying and failing to tie a tie*
I pull up to the restaurant and walk in with Angela by my side.
Kane: "Morgan, reservation for two."
Hostess: "Right this way."
We're led to our table.
Angela: "How on earth did you get reservations to Cayde's Bistro?"
Kane: "My dad's good friends with the owner."
She smiles as the waitress takes our orders. Once we've finished I feel my pocket. My heart rate increases as nervousness sets in. It's now or never.
Angela: "You okay Kane?"
Kane: "We've been together a long time Angela."
Angela: "Yep. Just about five years now."
Kane: "Exactly. Which is why I believe it's time to take this one step further."
I pull out the box. Lifting the lid I present her with a diamond ring that took me two years to save up for.
Kane: "Angela Smith, will you marry me?"
Everyone in the restaurant looks smiling at the moment. Everyone except Angela.
Angela: "Kane, mind if we talk in private?"
Kane: "Ok?"
We head to where there's less witnesses.
Kane: "What'd you wanna talk about?"
Angela: "I'm leaving Kane."
My heart sinks.
Kane: "What?"
Angela: "My father and I are moving upstate."
Kane: "What about us?"
Angela: "I told him but he says you were just a phase."
My heart begins to ache.
Kane: "Angela..."
She wraps me in a hug.
Angela: "You weren't just a phase. You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me. Which is why I'm gonna cherish these memories we made. I'm sorry Kane."
I return her hug. But while I do I only feel sadness. The one woman I ever loved is leaving me. After a very silent ride back home I enter to find mom and dad on the couch watching a cheesy monster movie.
Dad: "How'd it go champ?"
I ignore them heading upstairs.
Mom: "Dinner's in the oven."
Kane: "Not hungry."
I enter my room discarding all but my underwear. Flopping onto my bed my tears finally begin falling. They soon put me to sleep. The next day I head into town hall. Going into the main part I head to a table and sign my name.
Man: "Thank for volunteering."
He salutes as I do the same. Only a few months later I was already on the battlefield trying to help in any way I can with the war.
