Mia's POV
Flashbacks of me and Niall are coming back in my mind as I hold the letter tightly before putting it into the letter box. I let go of it and walked away.
My phone turned on. It's Emily.
"Hi Em." I said.
"Hi. Do you want to catch up later? We could go to Starbucks?" she said.
"Yeah. Sure. What time?" I asked.
"5?"
"Yeah. We'll meet there. See you." I said and ended the phone call.
A huge poster caught my eye as I was crossing the street to go home and apply for collage. It's something about the soldiers and the war that they're in to donate few money for them. A shiver run through my spine thinking of Niall being there.
I miss him.
~~~~
"Hi darling."
I look up and see Ellen with the groceries.
I smile at her. I have to get along with her for dad at least.
"What are you doing?" she says and sits besides me after putting the groceries on the table.
"Applying for collage."
"Which one are you applying for?" she asks
"St. Andrew's."
She nods.
How can I continue the conversation between us. I hate it when there's an awkward moment between me and someone.
"What is it?" she asks.
She must have noticed my sad face.
"Just thinking of Niall." I said and wiped a tear from my cheeks.
She removed my laptop from my lap and gave me a tight hug.
"Everything will be fine in the end." she said.
I gave her a small smile.
"When I was your age. I had this amazing guy that my mind couldn't stop thinking about."
Great. I'm about to hear the story of her life.
"And after my wish of being with him came true he left to study in America. I thought that my life was going to end, I was heartbroken and that he's going to find someone else better than me."
That must have happen since you're with my dad know.
"But after 2 years he came home and proposed. I couldn't have been more happy and everything turned out to be fine in the end even though after several reasons we decided to get a divorce." she said faking a smile.
I smiled at her. "You know. You've got my dad now and he loves you and I hope he makes you happy as much as that guy used to." I said and went for a hug.
I need one now.
"So we're okay?" she asks.
"Yes. As long as you make dad happy." I smiled.
She nods and went to the kitchen.
Niall's POV
We're about to get a prisoner today. I hate when we have to do that. There's 25% chance of it losing your life.
"Okay. Don't move." One of us said.
I grip the maching gun tighter. Then a soldier comes out alone, he doesn't seem to see us right away but then he does. He isn't coming with us for sure. My heart skipped a beat. He lets out a scream and turns, running through the curtain back into his dug out.
Someone throws a small bomb and there is a blast that threw me and another soldier back against the trench wall. I couldn't move my legs nor my head. All of a sudden other soldiers were coming near me asking if I was okay but I couldn't talk either, I couldn't move, I was seeing double.
''He's going to die.'' I heard one of the soldiers say.
Than I close my eyes and realise that I have been shot.
