PROLOGUE

Tick. Tock.

Another second, another heartbeat.

It all adds up to another minute without you.

A deep calming breathe can't help me now, and my prayers have failed.

If there is a God, he's shown me no mercy.

Every night before I slept, I prayed you would come home – to me.

You promised me forever, but forever doesn't really last forever.

I asked you, I begged you, I pleaded to you, but you didn't listen.

You broke your promise to me.

Tick. Tock.

The clock strikes twelve, the bells chime.

I check the calendar.

September is over.

They promised to wake me up when September ends. And they did.

Only you weren't there this time when I awoke.

Another day, another night. Time passes slowly, almost not at all… each tick of the secondhand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise, put pass it does.

Even for me.

You promised you would come back, and you haven't.

No letters, no calls, no return.

I get the call, you're still not back.

You're never coming home.

I have to move on they say. But I can't; not without you.

But they don't listen. They tell me you're never coming back to me.

And now I believe. What choice do I have?

September is over, and I have to move on. I have to get out of here.

You broke my promise, and my heart.

September has ended, but my love hasn't.

The war wages on. You fought, you loved, you lost.

You lost. You lost your life and took me too. I am just a shell.

Wake me up when September Ends.

Wake me up from the nightmare.


A/N: Ok, this is the prologue for my story, Wake Me Up When September Ends. It's based on the song by Greenday, and has to do with the music video, so it's pretty much self-explanatory. I don't know whether I should continue or not, so I will if you like it and say I should.

And if you haven't seen the music video for Wake Me Up When September Ends, it has to do with war. I think.

PLEASE TELL ME IF I SHOULD CONTINUE!!!
