Once a marine, always a marine

Hello lovelies! I wanted to say sorry that it took me forever but here it is! And I wan't to let you know that I will be starting a new book soon! So look out for it! <3

I woke up and flung my feet over my soft and plush bed, debating wether or not to get out. But in the end I did, sadly. I padded my way to my bathroom and took a quick shower. I got dressed when I was done and dried my hair and quickly eat and left the house, having no time to eat. I lugged my suitcase behind me, which was big and black. I found a nice army jeep waiting for me to bring me to the airport.

I was released from the hospital two weeks ago, the school, well lets say that they completely tore down the one previous there and are now building a new one. I'm leaving here for awhile because I am a threat to my only friends I have, and I don't want them dead like Nicki. Her funeral was depressing a lot of people crying, but I wasn't, I cried afterwards, and hard. I wasn't afraid of people mocking me that I was crying, I cried too much and had no more tears to cry.

I looked out the jeep's window to see trees and buildings whizzing by in a blur. I am going to miss this place, this was definitely not my second home, but pretty close. The trees and buildings soon turned into a flat plane with airplanes near the main building. I saw little people walking in and out of the different plane's. Soon I am the one who is going to embark on plane. I am all over the news as the schools saviour.

I can't count myself as a hero, I count myself as the little devil, if only I didn't go to that school or school in general then they would all be living normally.
What if I didn't go?
What if I didn't lose my arm?
What if I didn't join the army?
So many what if's.

My brain was clogged with too many questions that I didn't notice the car stopped and the door was wide open, the chauffeur was waiting impatiently for me. I got out and automatically stretched my legs and muscles. I grunted and went to the back of the jeep and grabbed my bags. I lugged them into the airport, the chauffeur followed me everywhere I went, except the plane.

When I got to the entrance of the airport there were many helium balloons tied to decorative rocks. There were many people from school including, Cole, Alex, Phoenix and many others. I walked straight into Cole's tight and warm embrace. I heard Phoenix grunt, I pried myself out of Cole's arm and went to see Phoenix. I smiled then hugged him gently. He quickly wrapped his arms around me and smiled.
"I will miss all of you guys!" I said whipping away the stray tear.
"I will mis you more!" Cole said
"No I will miss her more than you!" Phoenix said challengingly. They went on for a bout five minutes before I jumped in to save the day.
"Guys! Quit it, I'm leaving and this is what you give me?" I asked trying to sound sad.
"No of course not we are sorry." Cole said hugging me. I looked at my watch and gasped, my flight is going to leave in twenty minutes!

I pushed Cole away from the embrace, grabbed my bags and started to run. They followed suit and started to run after me. I did all the checkup's and was about to embark on the plane when I turned around and waved goodbye to the friends that I am thankful to have. Cole was in tears and Phoenix whipped away every tear that slipped out.

I sat down on the plush seat in the plane. I looked out the window and saw almost nothing. Just the pavement,flags men and the many trucks. I plugged in my earphones and drained out the rest of the world not worrying about anything. My eyes slowly closed then I fell asleep.

****

I woke up to someone shaking me awake. I peeled my eyes open and whipping the sleep away from my eyes. I blinked a couple of times to get my vision back, there was a woman in front of me with a warm smile on her face gracing her features. I kept a straight face and said my thanks.

I got off the plane and went straight to get my luggage, I grabbed them and searched for my sign that has my last name. I saw an older man with pepper hair a bushy moustache and wrinkly skin. I walked up to him and nodded my head in approvment.

"Let me carry your things for you madame." He said kindly I shook my head with a small smile.
" No it's fine, but if you could go open the trunk for me that would be great!" I said cheerfully. He nodded his head eagerly and left out the door to get the car ready. I walked out with my bags all around my arms. I stopped walking when I saw what vehicle I will be in, a giant limousine.

I put the bags in the trunk and climbed in, I immediately went to the mini-fridge, I took out a water bottle. I popped it open and chugged down the water, I found that there was a freezer, I opened it and took out a tub of Ben & Jerry's. I plucked a spoon out from the rest of the spoons and started to pig out at the ice-cream.

I kept on wondering what's going to happen.
Is my mom going to be paranoid?
Is my father going to be mad or happy?
What about Mikey?
Would he still want to talk to me?

I kept on replaying the different circumstances in my head, that I didn't even notice we pulled up into the base's small parking lot. I flew out of the limo to be greeted by my father. He stood there smiling down at me. My mother was beside him greeting me with a warm smile. I flung myself into their arms and just cried into their shoulders.
"Sh, it's ok baby were here." My mother cooed into my ear.

"Yea stop crying." my father said playfully.
We stayed there for what feels like forever then I heard someone clear their throat, I turned around to see Mikey sanding in all his glory.

"Mikey!" I yelled running to him and nearly making him fall over.
"I can tell that you totally didn't miss me." He said ruffling my hair. I slapped his hand away while I smiled at him cheekily.
"You never change do you Nora?" He asked me I shook my head 'no' and we both started laughing.

"So how you've been since the accident?" He asked me trying to make this conversation as comfortable as possible.
"A bit on edge, like I don't get why the thugs followed me, or how they even knew where I was staying, going to school and stuff. It's creepy.

He looked down at me warily then looked over my shoulder to look at my parents. What was happening?

"Neither do I Nora but we have a clue why they want you dead."He said trailing off. I cocked an eyebrow as if asking 'what?'
"What do you mean?" I asked unsure of myself
"I mean that they want you dead because you took down their gang leader without even knowing it Nora. Everywhere you go you bring danger." He said with both of his hands gripping my shoulder and what was left of the other. His rich chocolate brown eyes saying he wasn't kidding.

"What do I do then?" I asked my voice shaking.
"You hide. We just have to wait for hell to break out."
