Bad luck

Chapter five

***

It was three days later and i went to the airport with him. He had to fly all the way to Iraq. His bags were all packed and ready.

"Ill be back in three months," he said. Tears were filling up his eyes too. I nodded.

****

We were now at the gate and i just held on to him forever. I couldn't let him go. I gave him a huge hug and a long kiss until he had to board the plane. I stood there with waterfalls as eyes. I walked away with my face in my hands. I held up the tears for a few minutes.

As i watched the plane he was on take off, i immediately broke down. I slowly made my way to the ground and sat and cried. Everyone around me looked at the hot mess i was.

I prayed that he would make it home in one piece. I prayed every night.

It was now three months and somebody special was on their way home.
