Just a few words

Avery walked into the living room. "Who is it?" I asked curious. "I really don't know, but the guy on the left is hot. I'll finish this mess, you go meet them." Now i was even more curious, if that was even possible. Why would i get two hot guys at my front door?

It were two military officials. And once again, Avery was right. The one on the left was hot.

"Ma'am, are you Julianna Johnson?" I nodded. "We are sorry to inform you that your brother, Daniel Johnson, was killed in action yesterday due to bullet wounds."

That was all it took. Just a few words could make my world come crashing down around me. He was never coming back.

I stood there, unable to do anything. Unable to believe it. My bother couldn't be dead. He couldn't have left me alone. He couldn't. But apparently, he could. Because he did.
