Love and War | LT ✔️

Prologue

LAURENT'S POV

So here I am in the middle of a war zone. If you would have told me six months ago that I would be fighting in a war I would have looked at you like you were crazy but...it just seemed like the right decision at the time. I wanted a better life for my family. My mama and my twin brother Larry. Everything I do I think for them because I love them so much. Mama is such a strong and beautiful woman and my Larry. My sweet Larry. We have a love and a bond so strong that each day being away from him is torture to my soul. To be in the middle of all these bombs and machine guns going off everywhere and the fear that I may not make it out alive to see him and mama again makes it worse. I know they feel scared too because us papa died in the army when we were younger. I can remember getting the news that he died like it was yesterday. Larry and I were outside playing when we saw a car pull up and two men in uniforms got out. We were so young that we didn't know why they were there. Mama opened the door and we saw her eyes get real big so we knew right away that she was scared for something. After a few minutes she started to scream so we ran into the house to see what was wrong. Eventually she told us what happened and I remember how sad we were. Now to be here knowing the same thing could happen to me? Words can't describe. *BOOM* Whoa! God this is so scary. I'm looking around at the other soldiers and many of them have families too so I know they feel the same way and they have the same worries. Nothing means more to us than family and....*BOOM* Shit! That one seems closer to my head than the others which means I need to move away quickly. I look around then up into the sky to see if there are more bombs flying to the earth. I see nothing so now is the time to make my move. Holding onto my weapon I duck and run as fast as I can to another spot. Now that I'm here I turn around, kneel down then look up to the sky again. Now a big bomb is coming down and exploding in the spot I just left. It's making the ground shake. And to think I was just over there not even a minute ago. I could have been there. That could be my body on the ground. I'm glad it's not but it's not over yet and after I see that I can't help but get scared and wonder if I will make it out of this alive. If I don't make it just tell mama and Larry that...I love them.
