Chapter 1

She was the daughter of one of the most strict guys that anyone could ever meet throughout their whole life. He was also at war for the RED Team, along with 8 other mercenaries. Her name? Her name is Rosemary, shes a 17 year old girl that picked fights with the bullies at her school. Man, she really hated those people that picked on the weak. Rosemary like fighting, and would usually always win, she didn't know it but she shared that same passion for beating the crap out of people, with her father. Her mom on the other hand was a very sickly person. Most of Rosemary's life, she had been dangerously sick on and off. it was much to deal with for a teenager that attends high school. Everyday, Rosemary would text her mom to see if she was doing okay while she was about to leave school to visit her.

Its a lot to handle, but it was very unfortunate that her only parent was sick all the time. The cause of her horrible immune system was due to much built on stress and depression from the absence of her husband, the Soldier. She would try to put past the fact that he had left her and her daughter alone, and would focus more on her daughter, no matter what condition she was in. High school rewards, concerts, plays, anything, you name it. Her mom would attend anything that her daughter was in, just to support her in anything and everything she does. Rosemary meant the world to her mother.

The year that Soldier had left without any notice was a hard one for both of the girls. Even though his wife thought that she had convinced him not to go to the pointless war, he left without even saying good bye. One winter morning he had gotten up hours before he had left to pack everything necessary for his new job, and when he was read to leave for it, he did. Without a word to either his wife or 6 year old daughter, he left, just like that, without a problem. Then, later in the morning, Rosemary and her mom had been on day one of their new start together, the whole day her mom had been crying and continuously leaving and entering rooms, pacing all throughout the house, asking her self.

"What did i do? Was it me? Is this my fault?"

A whole bunch of other questions came from Rosemary over the year, she also had wondered why her mother would blame herself for her fathers unexpected departure. But that was the past, now was the future and there was nothing that she could have done to change that. Now, it was time to look past that and move on, it wasn't easy, but she was getting better at forgetting it.

This morning was a normal, boring Monday and Rosemary absolutely, did NOT, want to get up for school to start again for the week. Her alarm clock reached 7:00 AM, then she was reminded of the annoying sound that wasn't a pleasant wake up call.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

"Uhg", Rosemary groaned as she winced at the clock from her pillow, "Yay...Monday.." her voice was now very sarcastically enthusiastic.

Pushing the blankets off of her and sitting up right, she slammed her hand on the top of the alarm clock on her night stand. She rubbed her eyes and opened the curtains. Sunshine hit the soft pale skin of her face. The long blonde hair covered her eyes and stopped just above the tip of her nose. the thick hair that she had helped the nice strong curls in it stay strong. After changing her clothes she put her skater shoes on and headed out into the kitchen and grabbed a cereal bar. Rosemary thought about her mom and opened the door to her moms room, she smiled and looked over at the bed in the middle of the wall.

"Morning mom, Im going to the bus stop now ok? Love you." she kissed her moms forehead and was heading out the door when she heard her mom say something.

"I love you. Be careful ok?"

After she turned around to look at her, she smiled and skipped out of the room, then grabbed her backpack and headed out the door, locking it behind her. Rosemary had been worried the past week, not like shes never NOT been worried for what seemed to be forever, her mother was diagnosed with pneumonia and her personal doctor had told Rosemary that whenever her mother felt extremely bad, she could call his number and he would be there as soon as he could. Every time she had left the house she had worried about her mom, she never knew when something bad would happen. Walking out of her yard and just around the cul-de-sac sidewalk she waited in the 63 degree weather for her bus to arrive. A few minutes later, her best friend Paul pulled up on his bike next to her. Paul was, what you could say, her "love interest". Yeah she liked him and he liked her, but she stayed single, just for her moms sake.

"Whats up Rosie? Aren't you cold just wearing those shorts and that tee shirt?" he winked at her.

Rosemary shook her head, "No, not really. I actually kind of like the cold weather we get here."

After the conversation was initiated, Paul and Rosemary talked until her bus arrived. She stopped talking and looked at the bus as it pulled up.

"Well, this is my ride." She smiled and hugged Paul good bye. Walking onto the bus she gave him one last look and shook her head. Rosemary sat in the last seat, by herself, on the really loud bus, full of really obnoxious freshmen. Being a Senior at Green Leaf High School wasn't really fun when you had to deal with the annoying new comers, something that many other Seniors feel, along with her, unless you beat them up like a jerk, then its a whole different story. Watching the trees go by, trying to ignore the loud talking a laughing, she got hit on the side of the head with a lost paper airplane. She sighed, rather annoyed.

"This is going to be a long day."

*At RED Base*

Everyone was up and socializing, it was a ceasefire day and everyone was doing the things they did when it was a day like this, to pass time. As usual, there were the random fights, both verbally, and physically. Then there were just those rare moments when the team would just laugh, relax and chill out like the ruthless mercenaries the were. At this moment, Soldier was yelling at Scout for trying to eat a few bites of soldiers food.

Unfortunately, he failed. Just as soldier was about to sit down, he caught scouts hand sneaking across the table to grab some.

"YOU MAGGOT! That is MY FOOD! DO NOT TOUCH MY FOOD! Get your own you annoying PANSY!" he boomed, holding the small, harmless piece of waffle in Scouts face, just like some people would shove their ignorant dogs head in the poor spot that they chose to relieve themselves. in this case, Scout was the ignorant dog, and he started laughing his head off, even at his own failure, he found that solider being pissed off was even better than what he expected. Scout got up and got his own food to avoid any more trouble, or else, he would have to go to Medic to get a boot out of his ass, and BOY, that be awkward to explain.

Soldier looked down at his waffles and saw that it looked like a smiley face. He hated waffle night, only because the little buttered circles would remind him of the horrible mistake he made. He was reminded of his daughter, every time he would feed her waffles, she would make the cutest little girl face when she would eat them. Then when she wanted more she would say something adorable like, "Moar waffles daddy!", or something to that level of cuteness. Engineer interrupted his thoughts as he slid a plate of eggs next to his smiley face waffles. Great, more memories flooding his mind. The eggs, they made him so sad, his wife. Clare. Clare was the best girl that he had ever met and would always make sure she put salt and pepper on his eggs, and when she did, it tasted perfect. Engineers handiwork could never compare to hers. He felt emotions run through him, and never changed his expression, but he knew deep down inside that no one could replace them, either of them. Not anybody ever, because he really did miss his family, with all his heart.
