"Your heart was too pure and beautiful for this Ugly world."

Abigail Kennedy helps her boyfriend recover from the deaths of his Marine brothers and the severe PTSD he is enduring. Meanwhile she and her brothers must deal with their own heartache and grief of losing their brother.

This isn't a story for the faint of heart. This is a story about a girl who loved a boy. A boy who couldn't love her back. This is a story about the bitter, the sweet, betrayals, second chances, and redemption. If your heart doesn't hurt by the end of this wreckage, then I haven't done my job properly.

The second I saw her my skin heated and heart skipped a beat. I knew I had to know who she was. I knew I just needed to be near her. After my horrible marriage I knew getting involved with anyone was the worst thing I could possibly do. The problem was the girl of my dreams was standing right in-front of me partially guarded. She knew my family and knew about my past which should scare me away, but it doesn't it only draws me closer to her. My brother is getting married, I'm the best man, she's the maid of honor. If I screw this up even a little bit everyone is going to have my ass. The second I saw him my mouth went dry. His sculpted arms in that t-shirt covered in ink, my body was telling me to run the other way, to not get involved with this gorgeous dangerous man with a military past. Those gorgeous blue eyes however pulled me in and saw right through every part of me. He's my best friends soon to be brother-in-law, and I have legal custody of a child that isn't mine. Nobody wants to be with a single mom these days, what makes him any different?

Mostly the GATE plot, but with a Regiment of US MARINES. So in other words a little realistic with the US-Japan Relations. Any pictures, gifs and videos do not belong to me. The gate series I don't own. This fanfic I do own.

Meet Belle Mitchell. She's your typical average American girl who's no stranger to military life. Her dad was a Navy Pilot before he was shot down. Meet Parker. He comes from a line of Marines and wants to be one. He meets Belle who doesn't let anyone get close to her. One kiss between them changes it all and it shows the love between them. Everything changes when he comes back, and Belle and Parker are soon thrown into trials that are meant to break them apart.
