Disclamer-Okay so I know I need to updated Run Away but I cant figure out
what comes next. Well read and review. Thanks. I dont own American Dreams..
AN- I dont write fluff, I write real, maybe a little romantic maybe a
little dramatic but basically real life good and bad.
Dear Meg. I'm in Vietnam now. Saw that boy you liked, Jimmy something or other, he's in my platoon. I miss you. JJ The short note was scrawled on the back of the envelope. The fifth one to recieve in the 2 months since JJ had enlisted. Jimmy had wrote her several times always avoiding dangerous issues like what really went on over there.
"So Luke are you planning on enlisting when you turn 17" Jack Pryor asked his daughters boyfriend. "Uhm.. no sir, I wasnt planning on it" Luke said stifiling the urge to rant about the lives being taken and pure saddness of what would happen when the soilders come home. After they've been subjected to grim living conditions and having to kill so often. Teach people to kill and expect them to just shut it off on the plane ride home? "Oh, hun is dinner ready" Jack asked standing up. Luke looked over at Meg who stood by the door. "Uh we'll be back later" Meg putting her coat on. Jack nods as the two teens leave. "He dosent plan on joining the military" Jack. "I heard" Helen. Jack gave her a look which caused her to add "you didnt want JJ to join".
"Your dad seemed...displeased with me not wanting to join the military" Luke. "yeah, well with JJ over there and all that he's just upset" Meg. "Meg, I cant condone the war" "I dont expect you to, but just dont discuss it with my dad" "Meg if he asks.." "Just dont bring it up" "Fine"
"Meg, I have to tell you something" Helen said when her daughter came home. "What is it" Meg nervous/ It couldnt be about JJ, she wasnt crying. It couldnt be ... "It's about Jummy Riley" helen said putting her hand over her daughters.
