Come Back To Me ~ M.Garcia

Sharing my heart.

It's tearing me apart.

Lucia entered the room full of pilots all talking to each other.

Bob sat at an empty table while Reuben and Mickey sat at a table behind him.

Lucia pursed her lips as she looked between the three men before walking over to Mickey.

She sits next to Mickey and smiles at him as she opened her notebook.

Mickey looked at her slightly before looking back down at his hands resting on the notebook.

Reuben looks over at Lucia and smiles at her.

She smiles back before looking back at Mickey.

Lucia clicks her pen and writes in her notebook, sliding it over to Mickey.

"Hey ◡̈ "

Mickey looked at the notebook and slid it back to her.

He didn't bother writing back to her.

"Can we please talk?"

Lucia slides the book back over to him, putting the pen on the book.

Mickey once again slides it back over to her, not answering.

Lucia sighs as she looks at him.

"Mickey," she says aloud to him.

Mickey doesn't answer.

Instead, he stands from his chair and walks over to an empty table in the back of the room.

Lucia watches sadly as he leaves her behind.

Reuben puts his hand on her shoulder as he sits in Mickey's chair.

"He's a little confused. And he's also trying to get over what he did. You just need to give him some time,"

Lucia sighed as she rest her head in her hand.

"I just don't like this. I hate that he's ignoring me,"

Reuben rubs Lucia's back as he leans closer to her.

"Reuben, I just miss him," she says before covering her face with her hand.

He felt bad for their group.

He felt bad for her.

Bob sat alone torn between what he thought was right and what Lucia thought was right.

Mickey sat alone confused more than he has ever been.

Lucia sat with Reuben, heartbroken, due to Mickey's guilt and Bob's frustrating opinion.

And Reuben was caught in the crossfires.

Their Admirals and Commanding Officer enter the room, walking up to the board.

"Today, we will be testing you all on the knowledge that you have learned about flying," Hannibal says.

"In one month from now, you will all be graduating from here and being sent off to your squadrons,"

Lucia purses her lips and sighs softly as she sits upright.

"You have two hours to finish this test. When you are done you may leave. You will all have the rest of the day to do whatever it is you want,"
