"One... Two....One...Two...." I Repeat over and over to myself. It's a quiet sunny morning, and warm out. I try to keep a steady rhythm as I run, my headphones on, and my water in hand. Right now, I am free.
It's mornings like these that I enjoy the most, when I'm alone, on a summer day, the quietness of it all.

Beep, Beep, Beep.....
Everything is quiet. My hazel eyes slowly open up to a completely white room. Where am I? Sunlight bombardes my eyes as I sit up carefully in a bed. There's a tv mounted on the wall, a few chairs in the room as well, and a view like no other through a huge window to the right of me. I realize I'm in a hospital... But why?
I immediately feel weak as I try and stand up, so I gently fall back onto the strange bed and find a comfortable position to lay in. Just as I'm about to doze off again, I hear the door opening and I turn my head to see who it is.
My mother, father and.... Jeremiah?? What is he doing back?? He's been deployed in Afghanistan for six months! He wasn't supposed to be back for another three months!!
I'm shocked at their appearances. The three of them have bags under their eyes, as if they haven't slept in days, and they all look thinner, and red faced, as if they've been crying.
"G-guys?" I manage to say, finding my voice inaudible, and my throat completely dry. They turn to look at me, and my mother bursts out into tears at the sight of me. She rushes to my side and wraps her thin yet strong arms around me.
When she lets go, my father hugs me, and then after him, Jeremiah.
