I clenched the necklace so hard in my hands I can feel it indenting my skin. This is the last piece I have of Soda and I'm not letting anything happen to it. I walked back to the guys and they were all pretty composed now all except for Emma, she was a wreck.

"Aurora let's get ya home," Darry said wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

I pulled up the hood of my sweatshirt over my head to hide my probably hideous appearance and followed Darry still clenching the necklace and allowing the silent tears to fall.

I looked back one last time and he wasn't there, he waning waiting there for me to run it him, he was gone.

"Our flight will be landing in 5 minutes, like I told ya once we hit ground you're in combat. Suit up men," the commander took the gun he had in hand and shoved it at me.

I grabbed it and gulped.

"If y'all are wondering this is a real war out there, real people are going to die, maybe even you. Look around, about 70% of the people you see around you, you will see tomorrow the other 30% will either be injured or dead. My advice to you is don't be the 30%,"

With that he walked away to the front of the plane and everyone was silent. I looked at Steve and he was clenching the gun so hard his knuckles were white.

I looked out the window, it would be cool if I didn't have the possibility of dying down there.

"Ok men grab a parachute and jump," the commander ordered.

"What?" Steve said his eyes looking wild.

"Yep here ya go," he handed us both a parachute like this was casual for him.

I put it on reluctantly and motioned for Steve to do the same, he did but his face was real pale.

"Ok you guys jump together and once you get down there take cover in some brush, they shouldn't attack but if they do aim for the head or the heart,"

We nodded and followed the commander to the back of the plane. The back was now hanging in mid air and all that was left was open air. I looked at Steve and he looked back at me.

"You ready?" I asked not even feeling ready myself.

"I guess," he said even less ready then me, he's deathly afraid of heights.

"On 3. 1....2.....3," on 3 we jumped out he air stinging my cheeks and the rush infecting my body.

I looked around and I gotta admit the ride down to our death was pretty amazing. Then it kicked in he didn't tell me when to open the parachute oh crap.

I looked at Steve and he looked like he was gonna throw up.

"When do we pull the chute," I yelled about as loud as I possibly could.

"I don't know," he yelled back.

"I guess when we can start to make out what things are down there we will,"

He nodded and closed his eyes so he didn't have to see that we were plummeting towards ground.

"Steve now!" I yelled he immediately opened his eyes and pulled his chute with all his might, I did the same. We jerked up and a big chute flew open. I looked up and more troops were coming down looking just about as scared as us. We got a few feet from the ground and I pushed my legs out as straight as possible, I landed right on my feet with a thud. Steve on the other hand was not that lucky he bent his knees and fell in a heap.

"Steve come on," I helped him up and we tore the parachutes off and held our guns up.

We ran for some brush and crouched down under a bush. Steve faced the bush and watched to see if anyone came that way and I watched behind us. And every so often I would look to the left and he would look to the right. We did this for hours and hours and hours. Once dark hit it was a hole new game with so many trees blooming the view you could only see if you had a flash light. Both me and Steve got real tense. I heard a gunfire and practically jumped out of my skin. Steve looked at me and I jut stared back scared out of my mind. It just really kicked in for me that I could die, there is somebody out there with a gun and they just fired. I looked to the left and there was at least 20 guys all loaded with amo and guns coming at us. I smacked Steve and whispered run, we got up and Steve crushed a stick with his boot and every troop fired making my eats ring. I hit the ground so fast it knocked the wind outa me.

We drive back to the Curtiss and when we got there I immediately went to the bathroom and threw up all the food I had left in me. If Soda were her he would stroke my hair or rub my back and make me feel as better as I could being pregnant and all. But he's not, he's out fighting for my freedom and I'm so selfish to want him back.

"You ok?" Darry asked trying his absolute best to sound as sympathetic as possible behind his tough exterior.

"Yea, I'm fine." I sniffed and stood up and brushed my clothes off.

"You can stay here if ya want, ya know till ya feel better."

"No, I'm gonna go home I don't wanna bother you guys."

"Oh you're not a bother Aurora," Pony said with sadness in his tone. "Why would you ever think that?"

"I'm just gonna go home," I headed for the door dab I got stopped by another person.

I turned around and it was Emarie with tears in her eyes.

"If you need anything or just wanna talk I'm here for you," she handed me her number and gave me a hug.

I hugged back, gave a little wave, and got into Sodas car and drove to our house.

I unlocked the door and walked in, it was so weird and just wrong to walk into that house and not have Soda with me. I walked upstairs and laid down on our bed and just looked up at the ceiling. I mean what else was there to do, I have no job, my husbands fighting for our country in the war, and I don't have a dog or cat to sulk with. I would pretty much say to sum it up life sucks right now.
