[A/N:] Remember to vote and comment <3 Shower me with love (Haha ^_^)

Well, in this chapter it's fast forward quite a bit and one that's a bit heartbreaking but you'll enjoy it still, I promise ;)

Like I said before, I know this is all super sad and emotional right now but there is a light at the end of the tunnel for Nate. And if you've read ATMFN you'll know what that is ;D

Enjoy this chapter when Nate Daniels finally has enough and snaps.

Also; side note added in after I wrote like the first 10 paragraphs, prepare to fucking ball because I did while writing it. DAMMIT!

XXX.The Moment I Nearly Burned My Whole House Down

Nearly Three Years Later...

Three months. That's all we had left to our six year contract with the Army.

Three long months before we were free from our duty as soldiers and were back in the world as civilians; everyday people.

Only three months and my best friend, my brother not only in arms but also in life, will never see that day where he can officially take off his uniform for good.

I stand outside the military transport plane that is carrying three different caskets with the American Flag draped over them. One of those caskets holds the body of a man I've known my whole life.

Ford Taylor.

I pull off a stoic expression as I salute while the servicemen push the caskets towards the hanger where they will each be put into their individual hearse. Tomorrow is Ford's funeral service and I'm not ready for it.

I'm not ready to lay my best friend to rest.

As I march with my unit towards the hanger, ready to dismiss my men as their commanding officer, I run through the moment I lost him over and over again. What I could've done differently so the outcome that did happen, wouldn't have ever come to be.

It should've been me, not him. I'm the fuck up here and I don't deserve to live.

A thought that constantly runs through my mind that I know if Ford was still here, he'd probably punch me square in the jaw for thinking that.

Once I've finally dismissed my men so they can go to the hotel for the night, I catch a cab to Clinton Hills to prepare for tomorrow. Also to see my family.

The sunset has finally reached its end as the cluster of blues, purples, and reds fade away into darkness and I think back to the time I last saw a sunset so beautiful.

It was over six years ago, the Fourth of July to be exact. She was sitting beside me and I was seconds away from confessing everything to her.

That night, the sky was as beautiful as her, just like tonight.

As the cab comes to a stop outside my family's property and I step out, I look up towards the sky with a smile.

"I know you're doing this shit on purpose," I say to my best friend.

Knowing without a doubt that he's probably up there persuading God to pull this off. Something so cheesy that would bring a smile to my face and a warmth to my aching heart.

When I grab my bag from the trunk, I notice there's a car I don't recognize across the street and wonder who it belongs to.

Maybe it belongs to our neighbors across the street and they got a newer vehicle since the last time I was here almost six months ago?
