“I love you so much” Nicks beautiful voice echoed in my ear. We were walking home from school; the birds chirping, the wind blowing in my hair, and the noise of little kids playing. Today was perfect.  Nothing could go wrong. When we got to Nicks house his mom had a letter for him. –It looks important- she said. We all thought it was a college acceptance, and so we got excited. But, no it was from the government. –What you do this time you big doff- his older brother said, trying to lighten the mood. He opened it and read. He looked like a dear caught in headlights. Not moving, or saying anything. –Are you ok? Nick what’s wrong-his mom said with a worried look on her face. –I’m—-going to— the—-war.” Who deserves that? He didn’t do anything wrong. I felt tears start to roll down my face.  How could this happen. I started to cry even more. –Demi, its fine. I will be ok- I knew he wouldn’t be. He was going to get hurt.  I felt more tears and tears falling down my struck face. What if he dies? What if I never see his beautiful face ever again?  His silky brown hair, his beautiful blue eyes, and his warm feeling against my body.  The way is hands feel in my hair, or even his sweet voice in my ear. -I leave tomorrow, the army picks me up at 12:00- He said. More tears started falling down my face. I felt his finger on my wet face, wiping away my tears. Then I looked at his brother, his mom, his whole family, just sitting there. Not even crying. Just sitting there. No emotion on their faces. How could they not be crushed? Do they not realize what’s happening to their son? But, then I realized. Nicks dad, Jerry. He died, in the war.  I looked at his mother once more. Then I saw it. Her emotions all rushed to her face. Then she bursted. Tears rushing down her face, she fell to the ground crying. I never realized how much this would hurt their own family also. Two people getting killed from the same family. This can’t be happening.
NEXT DAY
As I woke up, I felt Nicks warm body on mine. Maybe for the last time. Again, the thought of losing him was on my mind. It was 10:00 and I only had two more hours until he was taken away. -You know I can come see you; they let you visit- I couldn’t speak, I new he could come back. But I didn’t want him to leave at all. Never. I got up and went into the kitchen to make Nick some breakfast, I was going to treat him like he was a god.  For the next two hours, nothing could go wrong. I made him eggs, bacon, everything I could find, anything he liked. I kept looking at the clock. 10:37.  One hour and twenty-three minutes until he goes. I can’t think like that. I can’t think of him leaving. Think of good things Demi, I said to myself. Good things. I looked at the clock again. 10:46. my breakfast was ready and I put it on the tray and started to walk back to nicks room. When I got there I saw Nick had fallen back to sleep. I didn’t want to wake him, but I only had about one more hour left with him. Only one. So I shook him awake. –Honey, I made you breakfast-. All I heard was a grunt. I knew he was tired. But I shake him more. –It has all your favorites- He finally woke up. He sat up and took the tray. He was happy. No emotion of sadness what so ever on his beautiful face. He looked at me, and then he turned on the TV. This was nice. Just Nick, cuddled up in our Pajamas and me.  It was already 11:00 and I didn’t care anymore. I knew I was going to see him again. His warm touch was all I needed to make my mind straight. One hour, and his favorite show was on, Heroes. This was perfect.
AN HOUR HAS PAST.
-Nick, they are here- I heard his moms voice coming from outside the door. How could an hour go by so fast? Nick got up, already dressed in his camouflage. I guess I fell asleep or something. I walked out of the bedroom door, and I saw two very buff men. They stood in front of the door not moving at all. I think its called at-ease or something? Relaxed but not really. They watched Nicks every move, He picked up his bags, kissed him mother good-bye. Hugged both his brothers. And then came me. He kissed me and he kissed me long. –I love you, Demi- As he walked out the door I saw him turn around a wink at me. That gave me more hope. I was definitely going to see him again.
ONE WEEK HAS PAST
-Demi, you have a letter, I think it’s from Nick-  I jumped up out of my seat, running for my mom. I knew it was from Nick. I got to my mom, who was holding out an envelope. I grabed it from her and read the address. -To My love- I read. I opened the envelope and read. –To My love, I am sitting here, In our bedroom thinking of you. All of the other guys here have wifes and even children, I am one of the youngest here. I feel so alone. I miss you, and I love you to death. If only the other boys could see you, woa would they be jealous. :] I love you so much. –Nick I closed the letter , and ran to my room. When I got into my room, I went to look for the stationary.
