Return Of The Soldier
One: The Goodbye
Prom Night
John didn't really want to go. So he told his family he was not going, he was going to go to the after party but not to prom itself. He was only going to go because the guys wanted him to go, not because he really wanted too.
"Why don't you want to go?" Randy asked him.
"I just don't, I'm going to be leaving after graduation what is the point of it anyways." John said.
"Are you sure you aren't just mad that Mickie accepted someone else's invitation?" his little sister asked from the door, she wasn't alone Stephen was with her and they were both smiling.
"No, and what do you know about that anyways." John said and his little sister came over and he pulled her to his bed so he could tickle her with Randy and Stephen as well.
"John stop, I know you like Mickie." She told him.
"Really, Jay." John said.
"Uh-huh." Jaylee told him.
"You know she is right, plus I know Jack doesn't like her." Randy said.
"He asked and she said yes." John said. John still couldn't understand, why Mickie would say yes. He didn't ask after he found out though, but he knew some of the girls were expecting it. As he got serious Lily came over and she had a serious look on her face.
"What's wrong Mom?" John asked noticing his mom.
"Mickie is here." Lily told him and John stood up fast the joking over.
"What happened?" he asked.
"You may want to go and find out." She told him, but she had this look a look that John didn't like. He ran downstairs to see Mickie standing there and she looked beautiful, she was wearing a yellow dress that made her look so bright. Her hair was coiled up and she had tears in her eyes behind those huge black glasses of hers.
"What happened?" he asked. Mickie didn't tell him she just hugged him tight.
"I got stood up." she told him. John held her tight in his arms and felt kind of bad but a part of him, felt really happy about it and he wanted to crush that part of his brain.
"I'm sorry."
"I can't believe I fell for it, I mean seriously Jack has always been a jerk." She told him.
"I know, come on let's go to the stables." He told her grabbing her hand and they walked to the stables. He doesn't notices the knowing smiles of Mark and Lily atop of the stairs.
"You know I can't ride, I'm in a dress." she whispered to him. John smirks at her.
"I know." He tells her.
He goes to get his horse ready 'Soldier' was brown and he had been with John since he was twelve. His dad wouldn't let them get their own horse until they reached twelve. Once he had his horse ready, he grabbed her by the waist and sat her astride of the horse before getting himself on
"Really?" Mickie said blushing. It was as if he was the knight in shining armor and she was really thanking it was dark. But also thinking she had been reading way too many books.
"Hey, I thought you might like to spend prom night with me instead." John said.
Mickie laughed as they road together much farther in the ranch. It was pretty large and it had hills. They reached the willow tree and he stopped and he got off before helping her down. He tied the horse to one of the branches before he helped her sit down, on his jacket. They just stare at the stars as if nothing was going on.
"Why didn't you go to prom?" she asks him fixing her large frames. John shrugs.
"I'm going to leave soon and I didn't really want to go I guess it would be harder to say goodbye." He tells her, it's a lie but she didn't need to know that. It breaks Mickie a little to know that, he is going to the army and she will be leaving as well to college. It was weird considering they had been friends for a very long time and became closer when he punched Jack when they were eight.
"I really should have thought of that." Mickie tells him.
"Why did you accept his offer?" John asks her changing the subject because he really wanted the answer.
"I don't know, I guess I wanted to be something else than just 'Bookworm Mickie' and I know it was wrong but for a moment I felt like some of the girls." She admitted leaning on her arms in her raised knees.
"You're more than that, you should know." John told her.
"I guess." Mickie said. John gets up an offers a hand to her. She looks at him surprised. "What?"
"Give me your hand, Mickie." John says with a smile.
"Fine." She tells him and he stands her up and wraps an arm around her waist and grabs her other hand in his. "What are you doing?"
"We're going to dance." He says.
"But there's no music." She tells him.
"Doesn't matter." He says and they begin to sway around the hill. They both are enjoying themselves. He spins her and they laugh together.

When they get back home Mark and Lily are waiting for them.
"Are you alright?" Marks asked.
"Yes, Mister Callaway." Mickie says. Lily just smiles and looks up at Mark. Mark understands very clearly.
"Good, John why don't you take Mickie home." Mark says.
"Okay." John says. They walked together outside the house before they climbed in John's truck. He helps her in and they drive away.
The ride is silent but it's peaceful. Both teens are just smiling. Mickie fiddles with the radio and as they stayed in one station the song 'Just One Last Dance' came on. Mickie blushes and she looks out the window. They arrive to her home and John helps her down. He leads her all the way up the stairs and they stand in the porch.
"Thanks, John." She tells him.
"Don't worry about it Mickie you know I would help you in anything." he tells her.
"I know, but thank you anyways." She said. John grabbed her hand and kissed her knuckles.
"No problem." He said. Mickie went in with a small smile the same one John was wearing.

A Few Weeks Later
It was right after their graduation and everyone was saying bye to John. Randy and Stephen hugged him and Jaylee too and she was crying.
"Come on Mom don't cry." John said to Lily as she hugged him.
"I know, but my little boy all grown up." she told him.
"Always." He told her. He turned to his Dad and Mark gave him a very large hug.
"Be careful out there." he said.
"I will Pop." John said. He was about to turn but he heard something.
"John! Wait!" he turned around to see Mickie running up to him and her glasses are about to fall.
"Mickie." He says. She ran into his arms and hugs him really tightly
"I thought I wouldn't get to say goodbye." She told him.
"Aren't you leaving today too?' he asked, because he knew that as well.
"Yeah, but I came to say bye." She told him. They kissed each other's cheeks before closing their eyes.
"Good, because I thought I wouldn't get to say bye." John told her. They hugged really tight before he let her go.
"I'm going to miss you Micks." He says.
"I'm going to miss you too." she says. He kisses her forehead and grabbed his backpack and got into the truck. He waves bye to his family and before he turns he sees Mickie who is standing there with her arms wrapped around her.
"That your girlfriend." The guy asked.
"She's my best friend." He tells him. This was a new road for him and he hoped to return home.
