JJ's POV

*1 year later*

The sound of my phone alarm woke me up.

8:26 AM.

I sighed and looked against me. Serena, now five, was hugging my arm and softly snoring. I smile and grab my phone to kill time.

She Has to be at school by 9:45 AM so I have time.

I turn it on and admire my lock screen. Jack was kissing my head as I was cuddled and sleeping in his bare chest.

God I miss him so much. Each day is another 24 hours without him. Hopefully he's not dead. No shut up Jack he's not dead he's really strong. Just one more year. Another 365 days without him and he'll come back.

I surf through Twitter and Instagram, bored out of my mind.

I checked the time again. 8:56 AM. I sighed and shook Serena lightly.

"Princess time to wake up for school." I whispered. She weakly opened her eyes and yawned.

"Daddy I don't want to go to school." She complained sitting up and rubbing her eyes.

"I know princess. But hey I don't want to go to work so I guess we both got the rotten apple." I said as I sat up.

I picked her up and we walked to her room to get her dressed.

We got to her room and I sat on her bed. She started undressing herself so she can wear a pink dress with building blocks scattered that she picked out.

"Daddy when is daddy coming back?" Serena asked as she took off her pants.

"Next year Serena. just ten more months." I smiled to myself.

"Well I miss him a lot." She pouted putting on her dress. I zipped it up and walked her to the mirror. I started brushing her soft hair.

"I do too princess. I just want to hug him and kiss him so badly." I sighed.

"What if he doesn't come back?" She asked playing with her dress.

I stopped for a second.

Yeah JJ, what IF he doesn't come back? He could be laying on the Syria dirt dead right now.

"O-Oh he will. I promise you he will come back." I stuttered. I finished brushing her hair and put a flower crown on her head.

"Go brush your teeth while I go get dressed. And then I'll make breakfast." I said standing up. She nodded and ran to the bathroom.

I walked to my room and chose to wear a black button up shirt, white jeans, and black converse.

"Trash." I mumbled to myself as I did my hair.

I did my regular morning routine or whatever and slid my wedding ring on my finger.

Okay, so, I got a tattoo like 2 months ago on my thigh. It I says:

9-6-19
7-4-21
"I love you." ~ Jack Gilinsky

Okay don't judge me this costed $150. Anyways, I put it on my thigh because that is where all my faded cuts are. He helped me stop cutting and he took me away from pain.

9-6-19 is when we became a couple, and 7-4-21 is when we got married.

Those words "I love you" mean so much to me when HE says it.

Jack Gilinsky's POV

( I have never been to a war or have seen what happens so idk if you know then correct me if I'm wrong.)

"Morning G." Scott smiled as he sat down next to me. I was reloading my gun and cleaning it.

"Morning Scott." I replied setting it down. I cleaned my hands with a rag and got up to put on my helmet.

"We only have 10 more months and then we are going home!" He smiled patting my back.

"I know and i'm so fucking happy. I just want to go back to my babies." I smiled. I put the photo in my pocket like I do everyday.

"Same I miss my little princess Erica." He said. Erica was his 2 year old, now 3. I swear he always used to talk about her in training and he still does.

"Scott we are leaving in two minutes put on your helmet and G get your gun!" Brian yelled walking through our room.

Brian is basically our boss.

"Sir yes sir." We replied. We got all of our stuff and walked out were everyone else was. We have to go one a plane to get to the war spot.

"Were is Derek?" I asked.

"He got shot in the arm yesterday remember? You got a massive cut and you got stitches." Tyler explained. I nodded, remembering the scene.

We only lost 4 crew members so far.

The plane engine started and we aborted. I'm not nervous because I have been doing this for 400 and something days.

I've broken my arm, got 45 stitches, but never rested. I have to be strong and fight. That's why I'm here.

~/~/~

"DUCK!" I yelled as I hid under the dirt hill.

I jumped out and shot three bullets, shooting down one enemy. I crawled to the little stone made house to shot down the three enemies keeping a six year old hostage.

I went to the back and tip toed to the front door.

"iitlaq alnnar alayh!" (Shoot him! In Arabic. I googled it) one of them yelled. I shot both of them down and the other one didn't have a gun so he ran to me and grabbed my neck. I punched him and shot him in the neck.

The little Syrian girl was crying in a ball.

"Come I won't hurt you honey." I said holding my arms out.

She got in my arms and held me tightly.

I ran out with her in one hand and my gun in the other. This little angel has been through so much in only six years.

I ran to Brian and gave her to him.

"Take her to the helicopter asap." I yelled over the gun shots and wind.

He nodded and ran.

I ran but to the war scene and took out the picture of JJ and I with my princess Serena.

I miss them so much. But, I must fight.
