Wait for Me

My name is Matt Cooper, for the past 3 years I've been living with my girlfriend Lilly and our close friend Hanako in a small house near the sea blissfully unaware that our country of Gallia was on the brink of war. The 3 of us first met at a school for disabled children several years back, that in itslef could be a whole diffrent much happier story. Some might even call it a fairytale. Unfortunately life is no fairytale and can be extremely unpredictable. Lilly is blind and works as an English teacher while Hanako is a journalist who's been left emotionally and physically scared, left shaken after a tragic past. I had very serious heart condition and was studying to become a pilot, hoping I'd make enough money to take good care of the two girls who meant the world to me. Unfortunately they just had to show up and ruin everything. 2 men in army uniforms showed up at our doorstep one morning demanding to speak to me. Once I showed myself I was declared fit for service and was to come with them immediately for testing. I was told that normally people with a condition like mine would be exempted from the draft but with war imminent they needed at least one person from every family to come fight, no exceptions. Lilly was blind and I sure as hell wasn't letting Hanako enlist so I did the only thing I could to protect them, I enlisted willingly and a few weeks later I was in the Gallian Royal Navy. That was 3 months ago a lots changed since then I'm now a certified navy pilot serving on the fleet carrier GRN Renegade. It's been months since I've seen Lilly and I miss her dearly. I did make her a promise before I left though, I promised her that once this wars over I'd return home safe then the 3 of us could live out the rest of our lives happily and carefree just as we did back in school, all I asked is that she wait for me. I intend to keep that promise, even if it means flying through hell itself to get home, I will come back for you Lilly.
