A Cold December
Jacob
I walked until I fell down. I looked up and saw the gates of Megaton, I crawled through the gates and into the house. I laid on the bed for what felt like forever, I just kept thinking about my brothers. How I didn't die and they did. In my mind I wouldn't have mind dying with them in Alaska. I soon fell asleep. When I woke up I packed up my things, I knew where I was going. I walked out and went walking.
Amata
When I woke up I looked at my pipboy and saw that it was 8am. there was a note on the table which read "Amata, don't look for me, I'm going to the one place I should have gone when I got out of the vault, go to The Citadel and look for a girl named Missy, she'll know where I went, but don't come looking for me
P.S you were a good friend"
As I finished reading the letter I felt tears in my eyes. I sat there crying for maybe a couple hours. How could he do this to me, was I not good enough for him.

I finally found my street, I felt like a little kid again, walking home from school with my brothers and my parents outside on the porch. As I got closer I saw someone sitting on the porch. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, it was my mom. I walked up to her and she looked at me teary eyed. I put my bag down and took of my helmet. I'm home mama I said to her.

Everything was going okay, my mom explained how she survived the fallout by getting a stasis chamber, my dad didn't make it though. In Charlottesville a lot of the town wasn't destroyed at all. A lot of people were still in it. Somehow the grass was still green and the sky was blue, we had solar powered generators so we had power. The Nuka Cola Factory. I went there and saw that it was still working. I got into uniform and started working there again. One day I got a call that my mama was sick. The owner agreed and let me have the rest of the day off. Once I heard that phone call I sprinted all the way home. when I got home I saw our old neighbor Linda, I asked her where mama was and she said inside in her room.
When I opened the door to her room I saw Doctor Wilson talking to my mama, after a minute of talking he left. I took of my Nuka Cola hat, I was wearing a red checkered button up shirt with a pair of khakis and dark shoes. I sat my hat on her nightstand and pulled a chair up next to her.
I will never forget this conversation I had with her, I asked her what was happening and she said that she was dying. Don't worry sweetheart dying is a part of life, it's part of our destiny, I didn't know it, but I was destined to be your mama, you did good mama I told her, I only did what god gave me the power to do, I will miss you Jake. She died on a Wednesday morning, I bought her a hat with pretty little flowers. She had lung cancer.
Missy
I finally made it to Charlottesville; I went to Jacob's house and saw him sitting on the front porch with his head in his hands. He stood up when he saw me, I walked over and asked what's wrong, I could tell he had been crying, He looked at me and said mama's dead. He cried on my shoulder for I don't know how long. After what seemed like forever he finally stopped and went into his house and sat down in the rocking chair. I walked in and sat on the couch beside him. Jacob I think you should know that Amata left, she said that she didn't want to be outside anymore and went back into the vault.

I kept thinking in my head what my mama said, destiny. I looked up at Missy and said something that changed both of our lives. "Missy, will you marry me" she looked at me shocked and after a few seconds of silence she finally said yes.
A/N: I know this is a short chapter, the next chapter will be the conclusion of the lone soldier, I'm running out of ideas and am taking a break for a week or two to think. I hope you all enjoy the next chapter which will be posted tomorrow when I get home from school, leave a review.
