This is dedicated to my best friend and to every other soldier out there. Thank you. I don't own Transformers. I didn't write If You're Reading This. Credit for that goes to Tim Mcgraw. Opening, not a one shot... Keep reading and review please : )
Chapter One- Some Gave All.
If you're reading this...
Shoulders sagged, then trembled.
My mama's sittin there, looks like I only got a one way ticket over here...
A look of soft sorrow crossed a worn, metallic face.
Sure wish I could give you one more kiss and war was just a game we played when we were kids.
A streak of blue broke free, trickling to the floor.
I'm layin down my gun... I'm hanging up my boots... I'm up here with god and we're both watching over you...
An ancient mind remembered a friendship that had stretched across millions of years.
So lay me down, in that open field on the edge of town and know my soul is where my mama always prayed it'd go.
Four gun shots. A human custom. They called it a salute. He flinched as each shot tore through the air.
If you're reading this... I'm already home.
A warm metallic hand clasped his own, strength found in the one place it had always existed.
For the first time since landing on earth, he no longer cared about protocol. Turning on his heel, he transformed, ignoring the looks of awe on the faces of throngs of people surrounding him. His soldiers followed him without question. They always had.
As the sun set, closing the day, Optimus Prime didn't look back. Bumblebee was right.
Jazz was no longer there.
Just remember this, I'm in a better place... Where soldiers live in peace and angels sing Amazing Grace...
In Loving Memory Of Robert "Bo" Bent. BFF.
