Hey everyone. It's been a while since I posted anything. I know I took way too long on this one but I couldn't find the right words to express my thoughts. Sorry. Anyway, I hope you like it.
Steve
I am a Navy Seal. I'm supposed to be cold, as close to emotionless as a person can get. I shouldn't feel most things, especially pain. So why did it hurt so much? Why did my heart threaten to break at the thought of a woman that I treat like a little sister being in danger?
I tried to sort through my feelings but even after 3 years back on the island, I'm still slightly out of practice. So instead, I concentrated on the physical feelings. The waves trying to pull me back to shore, and the burn in my muscles from swimming out a little bit too far this time.
I knew I would be sore tomorrow. As I grew tired of fighting the waves I let them carry me closer to the sand. When I finally dragged myself out of the water, I saw someone sitting in the chair on the right, with 2 bottles on the table in between the chairs. It would've scared me, how long he had been sitting there without my knowing, but this was one thing I had gotten used to after living here again. My best friend's almost constant presence.
I sat in the empty chair across from him. He pushed the second bottle closer to me. "It's okay, you know. We'll get them back."
"How do you know?"
"Because you're SuperSeal and I'm your partner. We have the Zen Master on our side. We will save Kono and Adam, and all three of them will come home. And it's not your fault."
"What?"
"I know you, Steven. You think everything is your fault so this is me telling you that it's not. There's nothing you could've done. Not this time. You just have to live with that."
I nodded. "Okay, Danno. I believe you."
I know it's not much but I couldn't find words and I had to mentally delete the last few seconds just to get this out. I hope you like what little there is.
