"Nothing last forever" they say, but that's not always true, I guess. You see, my boyfriend was long gone for a war and haven't sent anything to me. It's been a year and all he sent me was a letter that he will come back safely...... That...was a... year ago.
Before Getting Sent To War: 2025
I woke from my bed and started to stretch. "HMMM AHH, Ow! I must have broken something right there". I run downstairs skipping two steps at a time. Then, I glided in the kitchen. My parents have been long gone and I've been living on my own since I was 16. I'm 19 now. They left me money to get by and that's how I got this apartment. I also got a job and beautiful girlfriend.
I turned on my TV and put it on the news while I was eating cereal. "Breaking News: All teenagers starting from 17 to 19 and all adults except females are now drafted to war. There is a conflict going in our country and you can't say no. Also, you'll be picked up in two days or so, this is James Paxley back to you Les". I almost choke on my cereal after hearing that. This can't be. Why now! Why, when the day is perfect, there's something to ruined it... Always! After, my panicking I heard a call on my phone to snap me back to reality, it was my girlfriend "Asuka Nakamura".
"Hey... d-did you hear about t-the news?" she said with a worried voice. "D-Don't come to school, I'm going to your house to spend time with you!" she said with a voice that she only uses when she really needed me.
Couple of minutes past by and I heard a knock on my door. It was Asuka. She hugged me, so hard that I fell through the ground. "C-Can't you just stay?" she said while crying on my chest. "I can hide y-you and w-we can just stay togethe- HMM". I kissed her, so she can stop worrying about me. A trail of saliva followed us. "I'll be fine, I promise you I'll come back, ok?". I held her hand as I told her that. "YOU PROMISE!!" she said with a scream. "Yes, I promise" I told her as I kissed her again". "Dummy, I swear if you don't come back, I'll never forgive you". I tried to calm her down, but she just kept on worrying about me. I will come back I guess Hehe he oh boy.
Two days went fast, and I was already off to camp where I needed to train on how to shoot a gun.
I-I just can't get my mind of him. Can't he just stay home. "Just calm down, I believe his going to be fine". I believe. Please come home... safely please.
