Here comes the third story in my little JAG universe. I have written most of the story, I just need to put some finishing touches on it so it shouldn't take too long to post the story. I plan on posting at least once a week, maybe more, depending on what real life looks like. I know this part is very, very short, but the rest of the chapters are at least a little longer and I plan to put up another chapter shortly...
Thanks to Rabea, my wonderful friend who always inspires me with her enthusiasm for writing, and to all of the great fanfic authors who light up my days with their amazing stories.
The two previous stories are called "Everything I Do" and "We're in Heaven".
Disclaimer: If I owned JAG or any of its characters I wouldn't become a teacher and earn next to nothing.
I hope you enjoy!
Prologue
She had never felt this way before. She was so afraid. In her entire life, which had lasted for almost forty years, she had lost her parents, both her brothers, her husband and her daughter, but she had never been this afraid before. She could feel her knees shaking as she hid in the closet listening to the voices in the room outside. Why had she been this stupid. Couldn't she had figured something out earlier. When Jonas and Elli had been killed in the car accident she had been so shocked she hadn't had the energy to do anything. She was just glad to have had a great friend help her through it. She had felt sad, and she had wished for it all to have been a dream, but she had never cried for the people she loved and lost. She knew she should have. Maybe if she had, she wouldn't be in this situation now. She would have trusted herself better and wouldn't have fallen in love with the wrong man.
She closed her eyes and drew further back into the closet. She was supposed to have been at work, but she had a headache and had to go home early. Mike didn't even know she was home, or he never would have done this. He never would have brought that man in the suit into her house. If he hadn't, her picture-perfect life would have been safe. She never would have known a thing. She found herself wishing this was the case. What was she going to do? Suddenly the door to the closet opened and she looked straight into the eyes of the man she had planned for months to marry. At that moment she knew she would never have time to do any of the things she had planned for their future together. As he reached for her arm and pulled her up to a standing position, all she could think about was the friend she had valued so many years ago, wishing he once again could save her life.
