12.
Damien's POV
This was it, this was the day I had been waiting for. It was Sunday 2.30pm, I was getting ready to head to the airport, my parents were taking me. I quickly grabbed my phone and texted Lucy and Drake.
Hey guys, I am leaving for the airport now, I will email you guys and write to you whenever I get chance, take care of yourselves and I will hopefully see you soon. Damien xx
My phone beeped two seconds after.
You could still change your mind, don't do this; Drake says take care out there. Lucy xx
I didn't reply, I grabbed everything I needed and headed out the door to my parents car.
I ran my finger over Karly's name in my contacts and was trying to decide if I should text her or not.
Karly's POV
I sat there watching the clock, I knew in another two hours Damien would be on the plane and heading out to Germany. I tried not to think about it but my eyes kept drifting to the time.
My phone beeped and I quickly checked it to see Damien's name on the screen.
Karly, I didn't know if I should text you or not but I couldn't leave without saying goodbye, I will email and write to you as much as I can so make sure you keep a check on your emails. I am going to miss you. Love you always see you soon. Xx
I kept re-reading the text. I needed to see him one last time.
"Can you take me to the air port?" I asked Liam.
"Why?"
"Because I want to say bye to Damien." I replied.
"Karly do you think that is a good idea?" Liam asked worried.
"Yes Liam please can you if not I will ask my dad or Lucy." I replied.
"Ok I will take you." Liam replied before grabbing his car keys.

We reached the air port but there wasn't any parking, I told Liam to wait in the car while I said my last goodbye's to Damien, I ran inside the airport searched for Damien, it was hard, there were so many young boys in army suits, I ran up and down different stairs to find Damien, I then followed an army boy and was led into a room with lots of people who were going to war. I scanned the room and that's when I spotted Damien saying goodbye to his family. Once his family had walked away I slowly walked towards him and grabbed his hand.
Damien turned and looked at me.
"Karly, what are you doing here?" Damien asked.
"I wanted to say goodbye." I cried.
Damien hugged me tight and kissed my forehead.
"Don't go Damien." I begged.
"It's what I want." Damien replied.
I cried some more, my heart was hurting, this could be the last time I would see Damien, I took a photo of us both and told him to stay safe.
"Please, I love you please stay."
"You have Liam now, please don't do this, I need to go Karly, I have nothing to stay for."
"You have loads to stay for."
"I really don't, Please I have to go. I love you so much Karly. Make sure Liam takes care of you."
Damien had to go now, his plane was waiting, my heart was breaking in my chest, my Damien could die.
I watched Damien get on the plane and then I wiped my eyes before heading back out to the car park to Liam. I got in the car and cried.
Liam leant over and cuddled me and tried to tell me everything would be alright, how would it ever be ok, my Damien could get hurt.

Damien's POV
I walked on to the green army plane and sat down, I was sat next to two other men, the one looked about 30 and the other looked about 20, I thought back to Karly's face, I could tell I was hurting her by doing this, but she had chose Liam so I had nothing to stay for now.
I went into a world of my own when the man who looked about 30 started talking to us.
"So is this both of your first time?" He asked.
"Yes, the boy who looked 20 replied."
I just nodded.
"My name is Paul what's yours?" Paul asked.
"I am Lucas."
"Damien." I replied.
"How old are you, you both look young." Paul asked.
"I am 21." Lucas replied.
"18." I replied, I didn't want to be questioned about being 17 so I told a white lie, I just wanted this man to shut up already, I needed time to think and his talking wasn't helping anything.
"Is this your first time?" Lucas asked Paul.
"No, I have just had a two month holiday leave, I am over here for nine month now before I can see my family again, I have been in the army since I turned 18." Paul replied.
After a long flight, we were now at Germany airport. I grabbed my stuff and walked off the plane, I stayed with Paul and Lucas for now. We had to get in the back of the army van and be taken to our barracks.
***
We were now at our barracks and I was sharing a room with Lucas and Paul, I didn't mind that too much because I had got to know them a little on the way here.
We all had to go outside to collect our weapons and then we had to listen to some instructions.
Karly POV
It was 9pm and I couldn't rest.
"Do you think Damien is fighting right now?" I asked Liam.
"I don't know."
"I hope he is ok." I sighed.
Liam grabbed me and hugged me.
My phone made a noise and I hoped it was Damien, I quickly checked it to see it was Lucy.
You heard anything yet? Xx
No *Sadface* xx
I wasn't in the mood to be touched tonight by Liam so I went and lay in my room.
I lay on my bed watching the news and kept refreshing my emails on my phone when finally a new email showed up.
Karly, I arrived an hour ago, I am in my barrack now with two other guys, they seem alright, I start fighting tomorrow, I will write to you as well because I doubt I will be able to email often, just to let you know letters have to be hand written. I will email the address at the end of this email. Take care of yourself please. Smile because Damien loves you. Xxxx
I copied and pasted the address into my notes on my phone before quickly replying.
Damien, I have been so worried, I am so glad you emailed me. I miss you already, I will write to you all the time, I will ship some stuff over to you as well, yes please write to me whenever you can. I should be the one telling you to take care of yourself. Keep safe my prince, I love you too. Xxx
I waited ten minutes but Damien didn't reply.
Liam walked into my room and sat on the bed next to me. I cuddled into his chest and fell asleep.
