Spin The Bottle

Chapter 21- Reunited

                                                           *Jasmines pov*

Well it has been two years and I still haven't heard from Destiny nor Nash, and they haven't tried to contact me yet...So they don't know what has happened to me and Matt...

All males have to sign up for selective service and when Matt was 22 he had gotten a letter in the mail stating that he had been volunteered to go into the army for a year. Matt wasn't happy about it he didn't want to leave me or his family.. The next day he began packing his bags for his flight the for next day, that day I had never seen him so upset to leave.

He was scared and nervous Matt was never nervous like he was that day. The day went by slow and tearful we had all his family over to say goodbye, there were tears that were hidden by smiles of family members scared to lose him.

Around 7 pm they all started to leave I had gotten in the shower and gotten ready for bed, Matt was already asleep when I finally went to bed.

The next day was even worst it was just me and Matt..."Promise me what ever happens to me that you will always love me Jasmine" Matt said it a soft voice  "I promise, Promise me what ever happens you will never forget me" I said in a shaky tone "I promise"

Matt had always been able to look to the bright side of things. I will always remember what he said before walking away to get on his flight "Jasmine I will always love you no matter what happens, my country needs me now it's my turn to prove my self worthy" he kissed me on the forehead and hugged me tight.. "I  love you so much" I said letting a tear slip from my left eye..

I let him go and smiled as he walked away trying to hide my sadness, "this year is going to be long" I said to my self as I got in the car and drove home to me and Matt's 4 bedroom house..

I locked my self away from the world for the next couple hours...then I thought to myself "I should call Destiny and tell her what happened. Me and Destiny haven't been the same since our 22 second birthday I got accepted into college and she got into a different one.. We soon drifted apart.

I called her cell number and it went to voice mail I tried calling  Nash's phone but his went to voice mail to. "Come on guys pick up the phone" after an hour of trying to get a hold of them I finally gave up and went to bed.

The next morning I turned over to look at Matthew but forgot he wasn't there any more.. I got up and cooked Matt's favorite breakfast, pancakes I went to take a bite but I just couldn't.

Matt would always make smiley faces in his pancakes with chocolate chips I smiled to myself but I was still sad because even though its only been a day I missed him so much I missed his smile, his laugh, even the funny faces he made...

I decided to go on a drive to the park by my old elementary school where me and Matt first met in 1 grade in Mrs. May's class we had seats next to each other I would get in trouble he would take the blame. Or at recess we would hold hands on the swings he would jump off and he would dare I do the same but I was scared to. One time in 5th grade  this guy kept bullying me because of a brace I had on my arm from fracturing   it playing football with my guy friends. This kid his name was Ethan he shoved me and made me scrape my knee Matthew stood up for me and helped me clean the blood up...

Then when we graduated into middle school and I started puberty I had started in the middle of class and didn't know what to do Matt tied his black and grey hoodie around me and took me to the nurse telling the teacher he has hurt his wrist in gym so I wouldn't get embarrassed in front of every one.
