Him Or Them

It ended with him

1942

Everything wasn't as it should be but we had to cope. Most people where gorn by now but my friend survived Some other in this small town. I refuse to move into the countryside I wanted to be with my friends and my family well what's left of them. I hated it it was horrible never liked it most of the air raid shelters where disgusting only a couple of beds hardly no food but I knew we just have to live with it until it was all over. Bombs started hitting hard around this place so we had to be careful, we where in a shelter for about 5 days once I knew that not many people were going to Survive but I can't help that I wish I could but I couldn't.

1946

It was all finally over , nothing to be scared of no more. Everyone has started to rebuild their houses everything was different. My friends where always going to be there for each other now always through the dark tides we knew it would just keep us together . but something was still missing him,my darling my baby boy,my boyfriend, my other half, he was fighting out in the war and he hadn't come home yet, I have no letters from him I was frightened I would cry myself to sleep sometimes wondering if you would ever come back. Everyday I would go to the train station and just wait for about half an hour just to see if you would come but he didn't.

1947

Lots had changed from the 1945 most of the houses will be built now and be my friends moved in one of them together. I didn't wait at the platform anymore cuz I knew he would never come back . but I had my friends and that was the most important thing . I've lost my family through the war,through everything but I didn't feel like there's gone they're always still here with me . There was a lot of power in London now a lot. Everyone was so cautious of what was going on that everyone was happy that was amazing

Thursday 1947

It was just a normal day for me. Washing up , going to the market all of that kind of stuff when Astrid came to me crying.
" alice come quick , come quick " She said through sobbing. I followed her into the house we had moved to after the war and she grabbed my hand starting to pull me down the corridor.then I saw him,in his uniform looking smarter than ever. He had a broken arm but it was ok he was back he was actually back. My darling, my sweetheart, my other half was right in front of me smiling.
" jack " I screamed running to him folding my arms over his neck kissing his cheek " your back ! " I started to cry as he placed his arm around me holding me tight. I couldn't believe it.
