Choices Of Honor
Prologue
Everyone has a breaking point. No one is invincible. Looking back, I still can't believe how close I came to discovering that truth.
Before, you ask, no, I wasn't the person who fell apart, but I could have been later on. If he had succeeded in what he planned to do, then I think it would have been the beginning of my own eventual breakdown. I can see myself actually doing the same thing soon after, more out of guilt for failing him than anything else. There would have been more but that would have been the main thing.
I know what you're thinking. You think I like him. Well, you would be wrong. The truth is I love him.
Not that I could have said it to him, at least not right away. There were too many things in the way. Or I should say too many girls. He definitely had more than his fair share of admirers, each of them swearing that they loved him.
I doubt they really did. After everything that has happened these past two years and all the things I came to experience, I can safely say that they didn't love him. At least not in the way you are supposed to for that one special someone. Oh, some of them felt love, but it just wasn't that kind.
Anyway, back to what I was saying about a breaking point. He had obviously reached his on the night I stumbled on him. When I say stumbled, I really mean that literally. Let's just say I wasn't exactly in the clearest of minds at the time. Come to think of it, maybe I was already on my own downward spiral.
Long story short, we started to talk and an hour or so had gone by before either of us even realized it. We both walked away from tragedy that night, but just barely. He still felt there was too much for him to deal with and I couldn't see my life getting any better.
Ironically, it would take the pain of yet on other person to give us a reason to keep going.
And to eventually believe that was such a thing as hope for a brighter future.
A.N.
Yes I am back and with yet another beginning to a new story.
My military career has taken me back out to sea on a long deployment. The last time that was the case, I was able to get a lot of updates going. Of course, this time I am a supervisor, so we'll see how that goes. I will be trying to update stories like "Trials of Love", "Dark Descent", and finishing "You'll Never Be Gone." I have had an ending for that story for the past few years, just never had a chance to really write it out.
But now that I have added something, would it be alright for me to say to Mz-Kitty-Kat: "Please update your Naruto Love Hina story."
Until next time, JA NE.
