I hope you are going to enjoy the idea and the story ! (I apologize in advance for any typo or mistakes I try not to make some but we never know!)

Prologue

Ezra Michael Fitz was a simple Literature teacher at Hollis, the local college. He was married to the woman he had been in love for the past 5 years, she was his soul mate, she was in a word the One he had been waiting for all his life. Her name was Aria Grace Montgomery or as she had been for the last two years, Aria Grace Fitz. Their meeting was quite ordinary they would say. She carelessly ran into him in the halls of Hollis while she came to bring her father the satchels that he had once again forgotten that morning. At this time he was a senior majoring in English and she was a freshman thinking about majoring in English. After that morning they crossed each other ways a few time before he manned up and asked her out on a date. They didn't spend more than a few hours away since that first date. Their life was perfect, they were hopelessly in love, they both had jobs that they loved and their happiness helped them to be oblivious to what was happening outside the little town of Rosewood.

But the world wasn't as at peace as Ezra and Aria were. The conflict in Europe ,after the collapsing of the peace treaty between the European union and Russia, was becoming worse and worse every day. Europeans were once again fitting against the Russians. It started as an economic war but it was now becoming, as everyone feared, the World War Three. The other two times, Americans tried not to get to involve but this time, it was different, The United States wasn't an allies nor an enemy, America was also on the Russian radar as a threat to their politics and economy. The Russian were not only against the Europeans, they were also against the Americans The war really started a year ago in Europe but the USA even if they were clearly involved, was not sending any soldiers or wasn't requesting that any men enrolled in the army to defend their country back there in Europe. They all knew that eventually that day would come but every single American citizen was praying for it to be as far as possible. Unfortunately for them, that day came sooner than they wished for. That day was today, September 5th 2020.

Aria and Ezra are currently making dinner in their lovely house after a long week at work for both of them.

"Ezra, does some spinach lasagna sounds good to you for dinner tonight?" Aria asked him while washing her hand.

"Sounds good to me, as long as you let me help you!" Ezra replied already knowing what Aria's answer would be. Ezra had always been a terrible cook, the last time he was allowed to cook he almost burned down the house trying to bake some chocolate chip pancakes!

"You know that you can't cook to save your life Ez, why don't you set up the table instead and could you go to the liquor store because we are short on red wine and I feel like drinking a glass of it with the lasagna!"

"Anything for you my dear, I'll be back in 20 minutes. I love you" He said kissing her softly before grabbing his car key and heading towards the store.

Meanwhile, Aria was making Spinach lasagna. To feel a bit less lonely, she turned on the TV to watch the news of the day, she was prepared to hear anything about the war and the world except for what she heard.

"And now this is an official message from the Mr. the president of the United States of America.

Hello, I won't lie to you and say that the situation is improving in Europe because at this day we are far from being close to a reconciliation between Europe/USA and Russia. The war is getting more and more intense with every day that passes. This is why I won't take the back roads to tell you this. The announce I am about to make is something I would rather not make but given the warning situation in Europe there is no other choice. Starting tomorrow, everymen between the age of 18 and 35 are requested to go to the nearest official building and enrolled them self in the army to defend their country in this time of war. Citizen of the United States, it is with a heavy heart that I am asking you to be string and join our army in order to defend peace, liberty and democracy that our ancestor fought for. Goodnight."

Aria slowly fell on the ground as the president was making is speech. In the process, the knife she was holding also felt on the ground cutting her open on the lower part of her leg. But she didn't notice, the pain and shock she was feeling was worse than a cut on her leg. She could move anymore nor breath. She was sitting on the ground with tears slowly rolling down her cheeks absently waiting for Ezra's return.

Ezra was coming back from the store when he found Aria crying on the floor looking empty and lost, she was bleeding from the cut on her legs.

"Aria – Ezra rushed by her side – what happened? Aria can you hear me?" But instead of speaking, Aria started to cry even harder and her breath was getting shorter and shorter every time she tried to breathe

"Aria, honey you need to calm down. I need you to take deep breath" there was no reply from Aria's side "Aria, come do it for me, I am begging you, breathe." Ezra was now really worried about his wife. Blood was still running down her leg, he grabbed the closest napkin on the table and pressed it against her cut. Aria was starting to calm down thanks to Ezra slowly and gently rubbing her back while whispering to her that everything was going to be alright. When she was back to herself, Ezra tried to understand what had happen to put his wife in that kind of shock state. "Aria, what happened?"

"You… You need to go in Europe Ezra" Aria managed to say between two sobs.

"What do you mean, I have to go in Europe? What for Aria?" Ezra was now worried to

"The president made a announcement while you were at the store, every man between the age of 18 and 35 have to go enrolled in the army to defend our country in the war. Ezra I don't want to lose you…. Please don't go" Aria was crying her eyes out, she couldn't handle the thoughts of her husband going to war and not coming back home to her.

Ezra was now the one in some short of shock, he wasn't fit to go to war, he was never an athletic type of person, he wasn't fit to survive into the war but most of all, Ezra Fitz couldn't bare leaving his wife behind for the sake of a stupid war. "Everything is going to be alright, I promise Aria, I love you and I don't want you to ever forget that." Ezra told Aria in order to calm her down. But inside of him, fear was more present than ever but he knew that for Aria's sake he had to be strong, he had to be confident and reassuring.

"I don't want you to go to war Ezra, I don't want to lose you. This wasn't supposed to happen, we were supposed to live a normal life with no war where all we had to do was be happy and create a family of our own and raised our children, grow old and love each other. I can't lose you Ezra, I just can't." Aria cried

"I have to go Aria, you know I don't want to but this is my duty and not serving my country would be a affront to my nation and to you. I have to go so we can end this war and guarantee you a better world. I have to go so we could end this cruel war and so I can come back home to you and give you the life you deserve to have. I don't want to go Aria, you are my everything and leaving you is going to be the hardest thing I'll ever have to do but I promise you that I will come back to you." Ezra said with tears in his eyes trying to convince Aria and in a way himself that he was going to come back from this war.
