Broken Hearts Club 💔

Part 1: It's Over

Kimmy's POV-

I woke up this morning at 5:45, I know it's early but I'm excited because it's my first official day of college. As I get ready I reminisced on the past few months, recalling every little detail and tearing up a bit. I'm not even gonna lie to you, these past few months have been absolutely horrible but thankfully by the grace of God I made it through them. I still hear those military sirens playing over and over again in my head every night before bed and every morning when I wake up. It's only been 4 months but it seems like just yesterday......

*****Flashback*****

"EVERYONE GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, NO TALKING" shouted the MTI as we all practically ran inside the building with our belongings ready to be assigned to a flight. We didn't get to sleep until maybe 1-2 am, I honestly don't even remember. Long story short, I went into the United States Air Force a few months after I graduated high school, and as much as I'm ashamed to mention it, I was in for two weeks before I got a general discharge and was sent home due to me not knowing I had the Sickle Cell Trait. I know it's just the trait but I had no knowledge of it and it was effecting me physically during the short time I was there. My parents knew I had it but refused to tell me even when I asked them about any medical disorders prior to my departure. That first sparked my trust issues. I wasn't in for long but I honestly don't regret it because I met one of my best friends, Johanna, while I was in Medhold. I got home 10:45pm and I didn't go to bed until 1am and I got right back up at 6 am to take my little sister to school. I was sore, depressed, and tired but after I dropped my sister off I went straight to college and enrolled. I had three breakdowns within two months, two of which being within 24 hours. I had a feeling God sent me home for a reason and that reason just so happened to be I needed to be with my mother. After I left my mother got news that the doctors found a tumor growing on the right side of her body and it needed to be removed and the surgery would take place a week before my graduation from boot camp so no one would be there for my graduation. I stayed with my mother for 4 days and 3 nights, slept in an uncomfortable hospital chair and never left her side for more than a minute. Things were going great until we got a call a week before Christmas saying that they found my grandfather unresponsive. He died that following day. It was hard for our family because for us he was the only living paternal grandparent, our grandmother died while my mother was pregnant with me. It was a very traumatizing time for me and it changed me from a sweet young woman to a complete bitch to everyone. I wasn't as happy as I used to be, I was mad at the world about my situation but I was determined to make the next year better.

Kimmy's POV-

As I darted out of my house, I raced to the school ready to take on the day. The day flew by and before I knew it I was in my last class of the day, my English class. The professor was pretty cool, I'm sure Professor Hansel dropped at least 5 F-Bombs today. I walked into my class with a smile on my face and got myself situated and then class began. We started off talking about imagery and then we started saying things about ourselves, one kid was from New York, one kid was from California, so many different backgrounds. I told the class about myself and about me "almost" being in the military. After I got done talking about myself, I got a strange feeling, a feeling as if someone was watching me. I look around the class and I see no one looking at me until I lock eyes with a mysterious guy sitting across the room wearing a hat. His hat brim was low but I could see his eyes locked on mine. His eyes were beautiful, they were green, he had a very defined jawline and then I notice his backpack, This dude was the wide receiver for the college football team. I looked at him and looked away but I still felt his gaze burning into the side of my head. After class I go and get on the elevator and as the doors are about to close, a tan arm stops them and guess who comes bouncing on the elevator? The guy from my English class. He pushes the 1st floor button and the doors closed. Things were awkward and the tension was thick so I broke the ice and held my hand out and said "Hi I'm Kimmy", he shakes my hand with a firm grip and looks me straight into my brown eyes and says "Kennon, Kennon Clapton, you said you were in the military?" He questions not breaking his gaze and I say "Yep Yep I was in the Air Force, You in the military?" I asked and he says "Nah but my family is military and I plan on going in the future I don't know which branch though" I nod my head in satisfaction and say "Cool beans well if you ever decide you wanna go and wanna discuss the different branches just let me know and I got you, see ya around", at this point the elevator is stopped and we are on the first floor and he says Thanks and goes on about his day and I go on about mine, blushing slightly as I skipped across campus to my car ready to race home and tell my mom about my First day of college and the cute guy in my English class. My first day of college...It's over now, one day down and many more to go!
