A/N This is a short spitfire story. In this Wally has gone off to a big battle, war thing. Arty is n lnger a superhero, you get to pick why because I didn't figure it out. Please review, it always helps my writing. So withut farther ado enjoy.
He leaves today. I wish he didn't have to go. We're both still so young, have so much life ahead of us. He says time will fly, I'll blink and he'll be back. I just hope he's right.
It's been six months and time is starting to slow down. I don't have as much to do anymore, with school being over for me. The house is really quiet at night because now it's only me here. I've gotten a job that pays well so I don't have to rely on his paycheck. I miss him so much. He doesn't have a lot of time to call so it's been a few weeks since I've last talked to him. I hope he's okay.
It's been eight months now. Time seems to have stopped. The days are dragging by. I love my job, but most of the work is mindless so I can't help worrying about him. I've gotten a cat so the house isn't so quiet and lonely. He's black and white, I call him Oreo. It's been three weeks since I've heard from my love. I'm so worried that I won't see him again that it keeps me up at night. I'm praying to get word from him again soon.
It's been a year and six months. He's planned to come home in a week. He says that he'll be home for good this time, we'll just see what happens.
He should have been home two weeks ago and I'm thinking the worst. I talked to him a few days before he said he would be home, but it was quick and I didn't like the sounds in the background. I haven't gotten a letter or phone call to confirm my nightmare, yet.
It's been another week and I'm sitting on the porch swing, trying not to cry. I see somebody walking up the street. I didn't think anything of it, lots of people walk by here in a day. That's when I heard the footsteps on the porch stairs. I look up, expecting the worst and there he is. My love was home, alive and well. Not a scratch on him. I broke down crying tears of joy. I hugged him so tight my arms hurt. I almost couldn't believe it. This moment is the best one so far. I hoping tonight will be better, when I get to call my love my husband.
