Soldier's Broken Love

7

Amanda wondered to herself, did she forgive Troy too quickly? Of course her heart was broken and he stepped on the little pieces. But she couldn't help but keep him in her life.

She didn't know what to do.

And Amanda didn't know what to do when she saw Troy's head moving side to side as he whined in his sleep. She could hear him mumbling, "stop."

Amanda reached her hand over his face and was about to touch him until Troy tightened his grip on the sheets in fear.

"Troy." Her hand was placed on his shaking chest, she could feel his raging heartbeat.

He was having a nightmare about the war.

"Troy." Amanda said much louder, her hand shaking him but he continued.

"Troy!" Before Troy's eyes could even open, his hands grabbed onto Amanda and threw her under him in a protecting action.

Without realising, Troy scanned the room for danger and once he realised there was none, he turned towards Amanda who had wide eyes in shock.

"Are you hurt?" Troy's his scanned her face and body for damages.

"Only by you crushing me..." With those words, Amanda tried to push her husband off of her once he saw the pain she was in, he quickly moved off of her and wiped away the sweat gathering at his hair line.

Amanda didn't say anything as looked at the time on her phone. 03:27.

"Fuck sake Troy..." Amanda mumbled to herself as she knew she wouldn't be able to go back to bed.

"What's the time?" Troy asked as he rubbed his tired eyes.

"Three thirty." Amanda replied grumply as she made her pillow comfortable. Troy noticed the irritation on her face so he decided to hug her from behind.

Amanda didn't push him away, all she did was close her eyes tightly holding in the tears as she bit her lip roughly, to silence her cries.

Amanda stretched her tight muscles as she swinged her legs over the edge of the bed.

Time for work. Amanda thought with a great sense of fake humor in her voice.

As Amanda turned around to look at Troy, her eyes couldn't help but wonder his naked back as his arms automatically spread because there was more room.

His dark hair was messy and his lips slightly parted as his breathing was quietly heavy.

So handsome.

Amanda wanted to mentally slap herself once her thoughts went to Troy and the solider. A small stab of pain went to her heart and she held in her gasp.

She quickly wondered in their bathroom and got herself ready for her work. Amanda didn't know if she wanted to leave Troy all alone, she was acting as if he was a baby.

As Amanda got in the shower, Troy had automatically woke up from the soft sound since their bathroom door was open.

Troy's senses were taught to be alert to any small noise.

Troy ran his hand through his tangled hair as he sighed to himself. He pressed his hand against his forehead twice as if he was hitting himself.

He knew that he was going to fix this situation, since hes he one that caused this. Amanda had complete truth and faith in him and he ruined it.

Every second, Troy regrets it. Why would he hurt such a beautiful and angelic soul like Amanda's?

Troy smiled to himself once he heard Amanda singing a song softly in the shower.
