My Marine
Chapter One: No Not Yet
Emmett's POV
I sat on the couch, my head in my hands, tears streaming violently down my face. The letter that caused my sadness tossed carelessly next to me. Why hadn't I thought of this before I enlisted? I couldn't do it, I couldn't leave her. I couldn't. I wouldn't.
I felt a soft hand on my shoulder and looked up through tear filled eyes to see my beautiful girlfriend staring down at me, worry evident in her face.
"Baby, what's wrong", she said, gracefully sitting down beside me on the couch.
I couldn't form the words to tell her, it killed me to think of what the news would do to her. I picked up the letter and handed it to her, forming the one word I could at that moment, Read.
She did as I said, and I could see the tears forming in her eyes as she scanned the letter. She didn't let them fall though; she was being strong, for me. God, I love this girl. She looked at me, a mixture of confusion and sadness in her eyes. She looked me in my eyes, setting her hands on either side of my face.
"Emmett", she began. "You told me when you enlisted that this was what you wanted, that serving your country was something that you wanted, and now when they need you, you don't want to go…. Now tell me how that makes any sense Emmett?" she asked me.
I was finally able to form words to be able to tell her why I couldn't do what I had wanted to not too long ago.
"Bella, you're such a big part of my life that now that I am leaving, I can't do it, I can't leave you alone, it kills me to do it. I love you so much that leaving you would make me lose my mind, Bella I can't leave. I. Won't", I explained to her, emphasizing the last two words.
She then pulled my face to hers and kissed me sweetly and then pulled away from me completely, getting up and moving in front of me. She crouched down in between my knees and looked me deeply in the eyes with so much love it brought the tears back again.
"Emmett, I want you to take me completely out of the equation and tell me is this what you want", she stated plainly intertwining her hand in mine and looking at me, waiting for a response.
"Of course, but the issue is that you ARE here, you ARE a part of the equation and that makes everything so much harder, I mean I have to go I guess there really is nothing I can do to stop it, but its gonna be hard and I just I love you so much its gonna be one of the worst days of my life when I do have to leave next week", I said, bringing my lips to hers, pulling her up to a standing position with my free hand.
I reluctantly broke the kiss, smiling at her as I swooped her off her feet bridal style, and carried her into our bedroom.
