Alissas POV

*Phone rings* 'erg… who in the world is calling me at…' I opened my eyes bearly able to make out the glowing green numbers from my alarm clock, 'FIVE IN THE MORNING?!' I grabbed the phone off the hook and almost fell asleep when the most shocking words I've ever heard made me more awake than I've been in my entire life.

"Miss Wellington? My name is Commander Coulee. I'm sorry to have to be the one to inform you of this, but your husband has been killed."

My mouth went dry, and my eyes widened. "H-How?" I managed to whisper out of my mouth. Every breath was begging to become a struggle and every breath brought new amazement. "He jumped on a grenade to save me and my entire platoon's lives. He was a true hero, an idol in my eyes. We're going to award him the medal of honor. I'm so sorry miss. *you can hear his voice tighten up and you know instantly that he's crying* it would be an honor to meet the wife of the man that saved my life. We're flying your husbands body home tomorrow, I'll pick you up in person. Don't worry about the funeral, it's all being taken care of."

'He's gone… I can't believe he's gone…I'll never see him again… I'll never… I'll never.' I broke into tears crying so hard that the commander joined in. "I'm so sorry. I should have been the one to jump on it. I'm so sorry." I hung up the phone without saying a word and cried shaking into my pillow.

'he promised that he'd be safe. He promised he'd be back. He promised that I would see him again… Matty why? Matty come back! Matty I need you! You were only going to be there another week. One more week.' I cried for two more hours, each sob making me shake more and more until I passed out.

*Phone rings* 'not another phone call.. I just I can't.' my eyes were so puffy that I couldn't see out of them and I didn't feel like opening them anyways. I stayed on the bed listening to the ring of the phone counting them. *Ring* 'two' *Ring* 'Three' *Ring* 'Four'. *BEEP* Matt's Voice drifed from the living room *HELLO YOU'VE REACHED THE WELLINGTON RESIDENCE WE'RE NOT HERE RIGHT NOW, BUT WE MIGHT JUST CALL YOU BACK IF YOU LEAVE A MESSAGE AT THE TONE* Tears started forming again at the sound of his voice*BEEP* "Mrs Wellington? This is commander coulee. We'll be at your house in an hour for the funeral."

'I guess that means I should get up.' I dragged my self out of bed and made my way teary eyed to my shower.

COMMANDER COULEE POV

'So this is where his wife lives. Poor Woman. I can't imagine what my wife would be like without me.' I examined the house more closely. The grass was cut, probably done yesterday, the tulips were just blooming, and the Bronco out side the house was sparkling, probably just washed. 'This poor house is going to be neglected in the coming weeks. I should come around and water her flowers and cut her grass for the next week.'

I stepped out of my Government Issued Dodge Charger and walked up to the Wellington door and rung the doorbell. The woman that answered was much more beautiful than the pictures private Wellington had shown us. She was short, but she was a thin graceful short, she was wearing a black dress, one that, without the shawl she was wearing, could have been worn on a date between her and her husband. Her eyes were green, but I cold see the faint color of teal around her pupil. She had bags beneath her eyes and she looked like she had been crying for hours. Her hair was golden and curly and did nothing but make her look like a woman to be proud of, but she had a look to her that said she was intelligent.

"Ms Wellington?" She nodded, tears welling up in her eyes again, "My name is Commander Coulee. It is an honor to meet you." I stuck up my hand and did my my best to keep my tears at bay. Harder than I assumed it was going to be.

Instead of shaking my hand ,like I expected, I soon found her sobbing in my chest, shaking and asking 'why' over and over again. I ushered her over to my car. It was time to say goodbye.

ALISSA POV (POST FUNERAL)

"Thank you commander. I couldn't have made it through that without you holding me up." I said holding the flag and the case that contained my now dead husbands medal of honor. "It's no problem. Your husband was a truly great man." I nodded " Goodnight now" He nodded back and walked away as I opened the door to my house to the sound of my phone ringing for the third time today *RING*

I ran inside and barely was able to pick it up. "Hello?" I said, my voice still shaking and scratchy because of all the crying of the day. "Alissa?" I didn't recognize the voice on the other end of the phone. It had an unnatural accent and it seemed almost dangerous. "Yes?" I answered cautiously. And then there was a golden flash and I went black.
