The Unexpected

Evan

"This is Ghost to coms I need an immediate medical chopper...I repeat I need an immediate medical chopper!" I say once we get everyone down ripping off his gear my heart beating out of my chest as the others run over. "Come on Benny...come on don't do this please hang in there ok." He's taken six bullets to the torso this is not good thus can't be happening. "Ghost let me do it you've been shot as well!" Blakely pleas and I just ignore her as I focus on Benny, he has a baby girl on the way he can't die he has a baby! "I'm fine bird is here."

"Come on Benny you gotta stay with us ok, you got a little girl on the way Benny your the same age as me damn it you are not allowed to die!" I plea stroking his hair climbing in the bird as well as the others this can't be happening. "Ghost let him check you out I out rank you that is an order!" The Marine orders making me huff my gaze not leaving Benny's sight when he starts to flatline. "NONONO, Benny you got to fight ok you can not break the one rule on my squad!"

"Your gonna need surgery Ghost." 

I ignore him as they start CPR as the bird lands my heart racing as they hold me back when I notice them and the team sharing glances. Next thing I know I am being jabbed in the arm and everything goes black.

? mark days later

I smell musty sand and feild hospital smells, when the sounds come to I hear a beep and talking when I force my eyes open panic. "B-Benny!" I rasp out when Blakley pets a hand through my hair she gives me the look I've seen four times before my heart shatters. "No." My voice soft as I force my emotions down I can not break again can not show my emotions. "Y-Yeah Ghost, he died a week ago when he was brought in they couldn't get his pulse back. We all did everything we could the intel was old and false please don't put this on yourself."

I don't say anything, it is on me I was his LT, I was in charge of him he was right there I shouldn't have let him on the team damn it. I stare blankly biting my tongue I am gonna wake up and none of this will be real this will all be fake.

Eddie

Two weeks later

 "Wait where are you going Allena?" I ask as she's dressed...in navy dress uniform what the hell. "Sadly a funeral for a kid I trained it's today finally after three weeks the sailor being put to rest." My heart races a what kid she trained when she seems to read my mind. "It's not Buck, trust me I'd tell you and I'd be a lot less ok Eddie." I nod my head sighing.

Allena

I put my hair up in a bun knowing that Evan is gonna be wreaked god feel bad for my poor coworkers I know I have been snappy the last three weeks at them and they don't deserve that. I don't mean to act like it either it just comes out. "Hey cap thanks for letting me out early, I g-got to go." I nod he has sad eyes looking at me and I let out a forced smile. "If you need a few days I'd be more than happy to give you a few days I know what it's like to lose a man."

"It depends you'll hear from me tonight, all depends how a couple of the people are doing who I trained if they seem off than maybe." I respond not daring to notify them Buck is in town he's the main one I am worried about he always take field deaths hard really freaking hard. "Just were here if you need anything." I nod walking out putting my hat in my hand.

"Hey kiddo, how are ya holding up." I pull Buck into a hug who looks so hurt and lost when I rub his back. "Do you want me to tell you what you want to hear or the truth?" His voice breaks he's still in a sling from the three bullets in his shoulder. "Truth kid always."
