Love in War

By: KatPattinson

Chapter 1

EPOV

I love this country, so why not protect it? My grandfather did it too and I admire him for that. The best part was that he lived to tell the tale. Sure people die doing this, but they also live. If that's how you die then it should at least make people feel a little better knowing that you went fighting for your country. Of course people will grieve over losing you, but I'm sure that this is what I want to do. I've never been so sure of anything in my life. Well, except how much I love my beautiful girlfriend, Isabella Swan.

This is where my problem is. I don't know how to tell her or how she will take it. Hopefully it won't be too bad, but with my luck, I'll only get a few tears from her. That is very unlikely though. She'll probably end up crying her eyes out begging for me not to go. Because that's how most girls take it when their husband or boyfriend leaves for the army, right?

That will pain me to no end, but I have to go. I want to go. Even though my family won't like it, I'm going. I don't know how long. But they'll tell me soon. I already signed up to be deported in about 4 months. I did this because I knew that my family would try to convince me to stay and I would end up not going.

I was thinking through all of this while sitting at my mom's kitchen table, eating breakfast. I still lived with my parents and Bella lives here with us ever since her dad moved from Forks to Maryland on the other side of the frickin' country and her mom is in Phoenix. Bella didn't have to put up much of a fight with Charlie to stay here because I guess he likes me and understands that we're in love. He visits on some holidays too. I really like Bella's small family. Just the three of them, but they're all fantastic people. Especially my precious Isabella.

"You seam to be thinking pretty hard, Edward. What's wrong?"

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at my mom. "Nothing's wrong, mom. There's just a lot on my mind right now, that's all."

"Did you want to talk about it?"

"I would prefer to talk to all of you. I need to tell you all something important."

"Oh, ok. Later then?"

Suddenly a beauty plopped down on my lap and stared eating my pancakes.

"What's later?" She asked as the syrup dripped off the fork.

"I need to tell everyone something and FYI, those are totally my cakes your eating."

She looked at me and back at the plate in front of her. "I'm sorry. Did you want some?" Then she smeared a piece of fried egg on my face that still had yoke on it.

I looked forward, away from her and put an un amused face on. It was actually funny because I'm sure I had a long, yellow streak on my face, but for my own amusement, I stuck my finger in the syrup on the plate and wiped it on her cheek.

She laughed throwing her head back and she looked gorgeous. I love hearing her laugh and seeing her happy. It makes me feel good to know that she loves me almost as much as I love her. I say almost because she is definitely the best thing in my world and I would do anything for her. Absolutely anything. But now there is one exception: I'm not staying home. I'm going to the army no matter how much she pleads with me. I know that sounds bad, but since I've already signed and everything, I'd get in BIG trouble if I didn't go. There's no backing out now. No matter what the circumstances.

I know this was short, but they'll get longer. This was just to kind of explain it and the main part which is obviously Edward's going to the army. Also, you all need to know that this whole story is how the two go through this together. It'll get better! RxR please!

Much love,
