Surprise

I had been counting down the days ever since he got deployed. He was coming home in a week and I was ecstatic. 

I was currently cleaning my kitchen listening and singing to the music blasting from my speaker. I twirled and danced wearing one of Grayson's hoodies and my panties. Half way through a song, my phone started to ring, I looked at the caller

Grayson, my best friend 

I smiled and immediately answered 

"Hey!" 

"Hi y/n" he replied in an unenthusiastic tone 

"How's everything going? Are you okay? I miss you so much! I can't wait to see you!" I chanted, the smile on my face growing bigger, there was a pause on Grayson's side 

"Yeah um about that" 

His tone worried me "Okay you're starting to make me nervous" I laughed "what's up?"

There was another pause "um I won't be able to come home just yet, I've been told that I'm needed here for a little longer and i can't come home for another month"

I stared out of my kitchen window, my lips parted. 

"W-What?"

"I'm really sorry y/n, I truly am" 

I didn't say anything 

"But we can meet a different time and  maybe we can go out to eat at our favourite diner?"

A tear rolled down my cheek, falling through the air and landing on my freshly cleaned floor.

"Yeah.....yeah that sounds good" 

"Great. I have to go but.....speak to you soon?"

"Yeah.....totally" my voice had a slight crack 

"Alright, talk to you later, I love you" 

"I love you too" I whispered 

He declined the call.

I held the phone next to my ear as more tears started to roll down my face. My knees slowly started to bend until they touched the ground. I laid my head on the floor as my vision went blurry and my surroundings started to fog. I closed my eyes.

"You promised"  

~~~~

I awoke to the sun blaring into my bedroom window. I groaned and rolled over burying my head into my pillow. I could still feel the same emptiness from yesterday. I couldn't fall back asleep so I sighed and rolled onto my back. I stared at the ceiling. 

A few minutes went by and I sat up. I placed my feet on my bedroom floor and stood up. I wandered over to my vanity and sat down. I grabbed a scrunchie and tied my hair into a messy bun. I heard my phone buzz. I walked over to my bedside table and picked up my phone, I read the message, it was from Ethan. 

E: yo yo yo I'm coming over in like 10 minutes 

I turned my phone off and threw it on my bed. I walked to my closet and pulled out some sweatpants. I put them on and I left the hoodie that I was wearing yesterday on. I grabbed my laptop and started to watch Netflix.

I had gotten five minutes in on the film I was watching, when the doorbell rang. I shut my laptop and pushed the quilt off of my body. I stood up and left my room. I walked downstairs and into the hall. I opened my front door.

"Hey loser, how you holding up?" He asked making his way into my house

"Yes please come in" I spoke closing my front door and walking into my living room, plonking myself onto the couch 

He sat down next to me 

"You okay?" He asked sincerely 

"No" I slightly laughed "he promised he'd come back on Monday so we could hang out together but it's whatever, right?" I said quietly as I played with my fingers "I guess his promise was to hard to keep"

"Y/n you know this isn't his fault. If he could come back now then he would get the earliest flight flight home just so he could see you, you know he would"

"I know, it's just.......it's just hard, I miss him so much" I whispered 

"I know it is, I miss him too" he smiled pulling me into a hug 

I embraced his hug and sighed. I heard a knock at the front door and pulled back 

"I'll get it" I mumbled while standing up 

I walked over to my front door and pulled it open

"GRAYSON" I pounced on him and threw my arms around his neck, I buried my face into his uniform and started to cry immediately 

He caught his balance and chuckled, wrapping his arms tightly around me 

"Don't do that to me again, I hate you" I mumbled 

"I won't, I'm sorry"

"I missed you"  I spoke now crying even more 

"I missed you most"

He placed me on the floor and I got a good look of his face, I cupped his cheek 

"Nothing's changed" I whispered 

I stared into his eyes and hugged him once more 

"Hey bro" I heard from behind me 

I pulled out of the hug 

"Hey man" 

They both hugged each other while I squinted my eyes at Ethan

He looked at me 

"What?" He laughed 

"You knew about this didn't you?"

"Maybe"

"I hope you die a slow painful death" I glared at him 

We all started to laugh as Grayson pulled me in for a hug once more 

"I'd always come back to you"
