A.N. This is going to be another one of my short stories. Probably four chapters. I hope y'all like it!! This starts when Reba and Brock are in college, and dating.

Brock and Reba are at the park discussing a very serious issue.

"Brock," started Reba, "Why do you have to leave?"

"I have to go. My country needs me," said Brock.

"No they don't! They have plenty of guys to defend our country. Ones that don't have pretty girlfriends sitting at home waiting for them!"

"Some men have wives and babies at home, Reba, just be glad we aren't that serious yet."

"Big mistake! You don't wanna be serious with me!" exclaimed Reba getting upset.

"No, Reba, its not that its just that you should be happy that you don't have a baby right now that you have to take care of all by yourself! I love you, Reba! With my whole heart and soul. That's why I'm asking you this," Brock gets down on one knee, "Reba Nell McKinney will you marry me?"

"Yes!" shrieked Reba jumping on top him and knocking him to the ground, kissing him with passion, '"I love you, Brock. So much!"

"I love you too, Reba."

"But Brock," started Reba starting to cry, "Your leaving now. Where does that leave us. I would wait for ever, but I don't know if I can. I'm not strong Brock!"

"You are strong, Reba. You are one of the strongest women I know. And I want you to know that I will never forget you, ever! You have to wait for me! Please. That's all I'm asking from you, and as soon as I get back we'll start planning our wedding," replied Brock.

"Okay Brock. I'll wait for you. There isn't anything that I wouldn't do for you."

"Reba, I leave tomorrow. Let's go home, and make the most of what little time we have left.

They go to the apartment that they share together, and...

(y'all know what happens.)

The next day Reba drives Brock to the train station. As she walks him up to his train all of his army buddies whistle at her through the windows.

"I'm gonna kill them for that once I get on the train," said Brock jokingly trying to make this easier for them.

"Honey..." started Reba gazing into his eyes.

He leans in and locks her lips in a passionate kiss.

They hear "All Aboard!" come from the train.

"I love you, baby!. Wait for me!" exclaimed Brock giving her a kiss to remember.

"I love you too!" she said kissing him one last time.

Brock left on the train, and she didn't know when or if she'd ever see him again.

A.N. I know its short but this is just the prologue. More to come. You'll see what happens next. Until Then...
