What would you do if you fell in love with a solider? You can't see him everyday, you won't hear his voice everyday, and worst part is... you can't feel that electric feeling when he hugs you from the back, hands at the waist. Wouldn't it drive you crazy? This is a story about Madeline Georgiadis and Bryce Williams. And how Madeline handled dating a Marine.
Part of this story is a true story.
It is about my best friend and the love of her life. He was part of the Marine Corps. About three years ago she was diagnosed with cancer. Two years after her love past away serving his country. And about a year and a half ago, she past away from Cervix cancer.
In her will, she wanted me to have her journals. Everything I write isn't true; I would say about half aren't true.
But she is my inspiration to write this story.
To Madeline and Bryce. May your love for each other continue on in Heaven.

It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now.

My Soldier (*Completed*)
"Do you have to leave?" I say through tears. "I promise I'll be home before you know it." That's a lie. It'll feel longer than what it actually is. And it will all feel like hell. "I'll be lost and...and...alone without you, Matt" I sob even harder. "Don't say that. You'll have Aunt Kathy and Jo. Trust me when I say this: they know exactly what they're doing. They've been through plenty of these before." I nod, not trusting my voice, afraid I'll break down again. His hand comes to my cheek as he wipes a tear that's falling. His arms then indulge me in a huge hug, his familiar cologne invading my nostrils. "STARKS! We're boarding!" I flinch at the fact that its time to let him go. He kisses the top of my head, "I love you." He whispers in my ear. "I love you too." I respond weakly. "I love you most." And with a final, hard kiss, he walks away from me. Kathy holds me and lets me cry on her shoulder as Matt looks back at me, and walks into the plane. ~~~ **This is an original story by @QuackingDuck.

A Piece Of Me
I watched as the blood seeped through the white fabric, staining her once white bridal gown. I cradled her in my arms while covering the gun shot wound with my bare hand. Her breath was shallow and labored. She stretched her arm reaching my tears-stained cheek, stroking it with her soft palm. A single tear escaped her eye, sliding to the side. "Don't leave me, please!" I pleaded. Her shivering lips flashed a half smile. "I'm afraid I...I c-can't keep my promise...'' "No...No! You can't leave me Rhel. I won't allow you to,'' I interrupted her, "You're going to be fine...and then w-we'll have our honeymoon. Please don't go. I'm begging you. Don't let go...''
