*Six Years Later*
"Do you, James Rine take Jaceline McGregory to be your lawfully wedded wife......." The priest went on, quoting the marriage part of his little book. Jaceline had met her sweetheart a few years after our father had gone to prison. We still hadn't seen or heard from him, which was a good thing in my mind.
I stood by the bride, crying over my little sister being taken by some man. God, is this how it feels to lose your baby sister?
"I do." James was smiling at Jacey, or Jay as he liked to call her.
The priest then asked Jacey the same thing and she quickly replied with an 'I do'. They kissed. It was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. I was so happy for her, yet upset to lose her.
Jacey always commented about me needing to find another man in my life since my fiancé, Luke, had left to join the war and never came back. I cried hysterically when I saw the black car drive up to my driveway. The men cane to tell me Luke was Missing In Action currently, and they were looking for him. He was a pilot. It was very common for them to go missing and never come back.
I smiled at my little sister as she ran through the aisle with her new husband, going to their 'chariot'. She opened the doors of the church and rushed outside. Then, all of a sudden she gasped.
"RION! COME OUT HERE NOW!"
I rushed to her, worried something had gone wrong.
"What is i-" I started and then stopped. There, in the middle of the road was a plane, but not just any plane. It was a plane from the air force. Standing in front of it was the last person I expected to see that day.
"Baby?" I whispered as the tears fell down. He started walking my way. I ran down the stairs of the church and jumped on him. He held me close to him. I sobbed telling him I had thought he had died and about the men telling me he was missing.
My sister and her new husband joined in on the hug and soon everyone else did too. It was the best thing that could ever have happened that day.
The crowd died down and Luke flew the plane away to a base close by. He drove back to the church for me. I waited for him, just as I had before. I always had a gut feeling he was still alive. This was my proof.
Jacey and James stayed together until their death, as did Luke and I. Jacey passed first, then James. Jacey had always said she would be the one waiting in heaven for him, and she was right. James died the day after her funeral.
Luke and I celebrated our wedding about three months after Jacey had. It turned out spectacular. We had a beautiful ceremony in the same church in fact. Luke passed away before I did, though. I mourned for him, but I celebrated his life on earth and could only hope mine and his in heaven would be as great as the one on earth.
THE END.
