You Came Home! ~ Washette

I wanted to write something happy, cuz I got a request to do a bit of a depressing story, so before I do that, I wanted something happy. My inspiration for this came from a sad place in my life. I've been told that my Mom is being deployed to either South Korea or Syria and it just scares me, so I'm writing what I hope I'll feel if she comes home. Anyway, enjoy another story written at 1 am by your local insomniac!

Lafayette's POV

It had been nine months since George had to leave... I've been so scared lately, I never wanted him to go to Afghanistan, and every day I expected a call saying that he wasn't coming home. Finally, I got a call from him, saying he was gonna be another week or two. However, I didn't expect a surprise.

"C'mon Laf, let's go out for a bit, It'll take your mind off of things," Alexander said through the door of my apartment.

I decided one day of fun might make me relax a little. Who knows, maybe Alex might calm me.

"O-okay. I guess..." I got up and opened the door, grabbing my shoes and going out with Alexander and Thomas. Why can't he just be here... God, I miss him so much. I can't tell you how many times I wake up screaming and crying from a nightmare, and he isn't there. I've always had night terrors, they just got worse when he left. I didn't sleep that night, I haven't slept much since he left. Thomas took note of my lack of communication and put an arm around me.

"Hey Laffy, you okay?" He asked concerned.

I didn't respond, I just stared forward as we walked to a nearby coffee shop.

Why do I deserve to have my one true love taken away from me? I've done nothing wrong. George always told me I was an angel... told... The past tense always comes up when I talk about him, I already talk like he's gone even though he's not... yet...

We walked in and grabbed some coffee, sitting down at a table by the window. I slowly sipped my coffee and stared out the window as Alexander and Thomas talked quietly.

"So Laf, what have you been up to?" Alexander asked, turning his attention to me.

"Crying alone in my apartment," I answer flatly.

"Damn, you must really be sad. Your accent has faded a lot. Laf you're starting to scare us, I promise you he's okay." Thomas said.

That. That was it.

"YOU DON'T KNOW THAT!" I shouted suddenly.

Alexander and Thomas seemed shocked by this. I ignored them though.

"YOU DON'T KNOW IF HE'S GONNA BE OKAY. YOU CAN'T PROMISE ME SHIT!" I continued rambling on in French, Thomas and Alexander could understand me, but they left it at that and they gave me space.

~Time skip~ I'm listening to "Beside You" by Marianas Trench, and I'm  starting to cry...

Alex and Thomas dropped me off at my apartment and the door was unlocked.

weird... I locked it when I left...

I slowly opened the door and no one was there, so I thought nothing of it. Until I heard a voice behind me.

"Lafayette?"

Tears brimmed my eyes as I turned around.

"G-George?"

He stared at me with tears of his own and opened his arms.

"Baby I'm home."

Those three words sent me running into his arms. He hugged me tightly as I sobbed into his shoulder.

"I-I was so s-scared George," I admit.

"I know, I know baby, but I'm not leaving again. I'm home now."

I jumped up and wrapped my legs around his waist, he carried me to the couch and sat down. I hugged him tightly as he slowly rubbed my back. We just sat like that for what seemed like hours.

"Y-You kept your promise!" I said to him.

"Always."

"I'll always come back to you Lafayette."

Lafayette returned to his normal bubbly self after that, his French accent coming back in full force as joy returned to his life. And for once, he felt safe.

Hope you enjoyed, I loved writing this even though I shed a few tears of my own thinking about my mom. Thank you for reading! BYEEEEEE!
