A beautiful bond

Weeks turned into months, and me and Tyler became so close it felt like nothing mattered to me in that moment in time.
Tyler taught me so much.
how to aim and fire with a rifle, how to focus on the task at hand and taught me how to be a better person.
He was the only person that could make me smile after what happened at home.
He gave me hope to continue living and gave me all the courage I needed to fight the mimics and win this shitty war .
I felt a connection between us, but I couldn't quite figure out what that connection was yet.
It was almost the end of the year this meant that training was over and we would become soldiers.
I'm strong enough, I think, i know that mum and Daniel are watching over me.
I want to make them proud.
Hopefully when moving to a new base I can ask around the commanders if they know any information about my father,  I hope he's still alive.
It was now May and it was time to leave, Tyler carried me on his shoulders to the truck it felt like I could reach and touch the pure white clouds in the baby blue sky above my head.
I felt as if I was free.
He was soon caught by the director and put me back down on the ground.
We both giggled.
The truck was crammed with people, it felt like I was running out of oxygen but it was just me overreacting.
It was a long and bumpy ride to the north east base.
Me and Tyler were exhausted, I could just fall asleep.
It was late in the evening when we arrived at the base, the sky was a beautiful purple sky decorated in billons of stars.
I always found the night sky beautiful.
It's hard to find things beautiful at a time like this.
People say that your fate is written in the stars but who has the time to learn how to read small bright sparks floating thousands of miles away in the universe.
Not me, I've never believed in that kind of stuff.
We were shown to our bunkers my room was a couple of doors down from Tyler's, that's a good thing for me.
At least he's not in a completely different area of the base or something I couldn't cope I'd end up getting hopelessly lost just trying to get to the canteen.
I really am stupid.
Aren't i ?
Not long after unpacking and settling in I fell into a deep sleep, I was so relaxed and comfortable that I didn't want to move.
I haven't felt like this in a long time.
What a strange and unfamiliar feeling.
It's so peaceful, I wonder how long this will last for.
