Chapter 3

“Adam!” I sprint into his open arms and he spins me around. When he sets me down I give him a quick kiss on the cheek before hugging him tightly. I don’t care that everyone in the lunchroom is staring. They are probably jealous because they don’t get surprise visits.

“What are you doing here?” I link my arm with his and lead him to my table to introduce him to my teammates; yes teammates I am on the soccer team and a shoe in for the track team.

“I came to visit my favorite person” I give him my rare smile and sit down, I feel eyes on my and when I look up I see Will staring at Adam and I. What’s his problem? We talk rarely and yet he is giving me a glacial stare down. At the end of lunch Adam leaves and I walk to my locker. Lucky for me I managed to get a free period so I don’t have to worry about the bell. I can’t believe it’s already been a month. Time sure does fly I guess and now with Adam in town it will go even faster.

It’s my last period of the day and I am ready to go swimming with Adam. Ashley kicks me from under the table.

“Ow!” I whisper but when I look up I see someone I at the moment don’t want to see. I walk over and notice he is wearing his uniform, I stare up at him and he guides me out into the hallway.

“No!”

“I’m sorry… I know it’s only been a few days but…”

“Where and how long?”

“Iraq and length is unknown”

“No!!” tears form in my eyes “I just got you back! When do you leave?”

“In two hours, I came to say goodbye on my way to the airport.”

“No!! It’s too soon” I say it louder than I mean to and tears fall harder down my face. I hug him tightly and begin crying heavily into his uniform, I don’t care if I am making too much noise or if I sound unlady like.

“Please don’t go!”

“April I have too. I will be back before you know it” I cry harder he just got back; he wasn’t supposed to get deployed for a month after boot camp. This isn’t fair! 

“No!! Please!! Stay!!” I yell as he walks away. I crumble to the floor in front of the doors and hug my knees.

So three parts are up, I will post more as I can:)
