Prologue (Six years earlier)

He rolled over as he yawned noticing the little bit of light tricling down from the basement window. He fought against opening his eyes, last night had been the best night's sleep he had gotten since he had left a few months back for boot camp.

He felt something shift in the bed next to him and smirked slightly when he remembered why he had slept so well. He finally opened his eyes to a sight he had been missing during his time away.

There lying next to him sleeping as peacefully as he had been was the girl who made up his entire world, the reason he had left to begin with, the reason he wanted to be a better man.

Emma Nelson had been his world since he was thirteen. Even now at nineteen he couldn't find it in him to want to live without her. He placed a gentle kiss on her lips and watched as her eyes slowly blinked open.

"Morning." he whispered softly as she smiled shyly at him.

"Morning." she said starring at him and placing a hand over his bare chest. "What time is it?" she asked yawning.

"Almost seven." he said sadly. The base had only given his troop the weekend off to go visit their families before they deployed them out to Afghanistan, none of them knew how long with tour of duty would last. If worse came to worse at least the soldiers would be able to say goodbye. Their plane was leaving at ten o'clock sharp. He had to be at the airport in just a very few hours.

Emma sighed deeply. "I don't want you to go." she told him running a hand down the side of his face trying to take in her last few moments with him before they had to get out of bed and face reality.

"I know but I have to Em. Besides I'll be back soon and we'll have all the time in the world, just you and me." he said kissing her one more time before getting out of bed to go into the small bathroom that was down there to shower.

As soon as the bathroom door was closed Emma closed her eyes sighing knowing there was no way she could get him to stay behind. He was too proud for that. She slowly got out of the bed and got dressed to get ready to go.

Later that morning she stood with him on the tarmac. He only had a few minutes until the plane would be boarding. He had already said goodbye to her parents and his friends that had showed up to support him. All that was left was to say goodbye to her.

He ran his hand through the strands of her hair. "I'll be back soon, Em. Then we'll start our live together." he said staring into her eyes trying to make sure he would remember every detail of her profile. "You'll be taking classes at Smithdale and I'll start my business."

She placed a kiss on the corner of his mouth. "You come back home to me Sean Cameron." she whispered quietly as the heard the boarding call for his plane.

"I love you, Em. Never forget." he said before stepping out of her arms and picking up his bag. He waved at all of them one more time as he headed into the plane.

She took one look at the departing plane and turned around to head back not knowing when she would see him again.
