The Letters That Saved Her Life (sequel to Dear Niall {A Niall Horan Fanfic})

Jackie's POV

It takes the mail longer to get here when we're in Africa. When the mail landed I went and got the letters for the guys in my barracks. I walk back to our tent and start handing out letters.

"Hey Mike, yours smells good." I waived it in front of my nose before tossing it to him. His face turned all sorts of shades of red. I finish passing them out. I got two. One from Niall and one from Harry. I open the one from Harry first. After reading it I write him back.

Dear Harry,

That sucks. Five in a row?

I really don't know if I want to. I mean I would love to, but how would Niall feel about it? If I end up having to be in the army for twenty nine more months with no breaks then Niall would be upset. I don't like it when Niall's upset.

Niall asked me the same thing! What's with you guys and giraffes? Yes I have seen one. It was pretty cool. Made me want to have my camera with me. Well I did have one with me, but it was the army's camera.

Well it's good that they like it. I'm glad Niall likes it so much. I'll make sure to tease him about it.

Love always,
Jackie

I addressed it then opened Niall's.

Dear Jackie,

I'm glad you like it there. Just don't get shot anymore promise? I'm just kidding, I know you can't exactly prevent that.

I miss you. I don't know how I'm going to survive twelve more months without you. How much longer are you in Africa?

Love,
Nialler

I wrote back to him too. I have to do it quickly though because we're going soon.

Dear Niall,

We'll see. You never know what'll happen.

I'm in Africa for at least three or four more months. Then we're heading over to Iran. We're going to be there for awhile.

So I hear that you show off your tattoo to interviewers? My source says it's pretty hilarious.

Love you babe.

Love always,
Jackie

I put it away to send later. I suited up, as did everyone else, and grabbed my gun. I pull out the cross necklace that Harry had put around my neck. I brought it up to my lips and kissed it. I slip it back under my plate, then head out with everyone else. They said we have to travel in the desert to another small town. We have to check it out over there to make sure nothings going on.
