***********************************************************
Two years had passes since that fateful night Matt rescued Amy from Brian's abusive treatment and they had never been more in love. Matt had given Brian what he deserved a day or two after he saved Amy, and ended up feeling a lot worse than Amy ever had. Matt had proposed a couple months back and the couple was getting married in two months.
"Two more months," Matt said coming up behind Amy and wrapping his arms around her waist. He kissed her on the cheek and took a seat next to her on the porch of their newly built, Cameron, North Carolina home.
"I know I'm so excited!" Amy replied resting her head on Matt's shoulder. Matt gently kissed her temple as he took in the scent of her fiery, red hair. Matt loved everything about Amy. To him, she was perfect.
~*~*1 Month Later*~*~
Matt sat on his bed, one month before his wedding, and contemplated how he was going to tell Amy the news. He had received a letter that day in the mail, one he had hopped he would never get. The U.S. was at war with Iraq and needed more soldiers. The letter Matt held in his hand informed him he had been selected in the draft.
Amy walked into the bedroom and saw Matt sitting on their king-size bed, contemplating very hard about something. She knew when Matt was deep in thought because he got a perplexed look on his face.
"What's wrong babe?" she asked him.
"Look Amy, we need to talk," Matt replied unable to look up at her.
"About what?" she asked starting to get nervous. Matt finally looked up at her and showed her the letter. Tears sprung to Amy's sparkling, hazel eyes. "No, this isn't supposed to happen. We're supposed to get marries in a month. We're supposed to go on our honeymoon. You can't leave me Matt!" The tears started to pour out of her eyes like waterfalls. Matt pulled her close to him and hugged her tightly, wanting to be able to hold her forever.
"I know baby. I don't want to go either, but I have to. My country needs me. I promise we'll get married when I get back."
"How do you know you're going to come back?" Amy sobbed.
"Because I love you and my love for you will keep me alive. I will come back to you. I promise."
Matt held a crying Amy in his arms. He whispered into her ear, "I love you Amy and no war is going to keep me from spending the rest of my life with you." Matt heard Amy's breathing even out as she fell under victim to the sleep overcoming her. Matt dozed off just behind her.
