Chapter 1:

Bea POV:

She finished dressing in a pair of jeans and a black shirt. She knew the shirt did not cover the scar but she decided she can not hide it forever from Malcolm and the sooner he knew the better. She put on some flat shoes and walked down the stairs she wondered where Tommy was. She really wanted to see him they did not end off at a good note the last time they saw each other

-Flashback to 3 years earlier-

Tommy's POV:

He was angry with Beatriz, she left without saying a word to him. He had to hear from his father that she had joined the army two years ago. He had called her and he had said they better meet up he drove four hours meeting her halfway in a small restaurant. He had sat patiently waiting for her when she entered the room wearing her usual wear black jeans and a black shirt with boots. He was glad to see her but there was still a lot of anger in him.

"Hello Tommy", she says to him and she sits down looking at him. She has changed a lot her normally short hair was now long, she did not wear any make up like she used to and her nails were short. And he also noticed that she was not this very thin petite girl he had known anymore, instead she was athletically built. She did indeed look good.

"Look Bea i am going to get straight to the point here" he said, he did not bother to greet her "what were you thinking when you joined the army?" he asked. He heard her sigh and she closed her eyes like she always did when she started to get angry.

"Tommy i decided to join the army because i was asked to. Besides my father wanted me to do my medical career in the army i am just doing what he wishes" she said with anger clearly starting to show in her voice.

"Just because your father wanted you to go does not mean that you have to" he says and he also starts to get angry at her.

"Tommy do not make this a fight please" she asked almost pleading him. But he was past the point of being reasonable he looked at her and he could see the scars on her arm. He then lost it.

"Beatriz look at you, you are full of scars" he says and he lifts her arm up "My father did not raise you for 6 years just to go and throw yourself into a war to safe some people" he said and he looked at her he was expecting her to put up a fight instead she stood up and looked at him

"Look if you can not accept the fact that i am doing this then it is better to end our friendship here and now. Forget about me Tommy. Goodbye" she says and he sees her walking away he wanted to stop her but he knew it would be no good he realized that he had taken this too far.

-End of flashback-

Bea POV:

Bea noticed that she had stopped in the middle of the stairs thinking of Tommy, she shook her head and walked down and toward the kitchen she was hungry and wanted something to eat. She looks at the kitchen it did change a little then she felt someone hug her she smiles as it was the maid that looked after her.

"Hey Sara" she says and she smiles again when the maid said that she was happy to see her again. Sara offered to make her a sandwich but she declined saying that she will make herself one. Bea made her sandwich and she went to the porch where she always sat, she smiled when she saw that her chair was still there she sat down and ate her sandwich.

"Well this is a lovely site" she heard a man say behind her she stood up and turned around and she saw that it was Oliver she ran into his open arms and held onto him.

"Ollie! I am so glad you are here, i have missed you" she said and she let him go and then she hit him on his arm.

"Ouch, what was that for Triz" he asked rubbing his arm looking at her.

"That is for giving me such a scare, i thought you were dead" she said and hugged him again, she felt happy that her friend was alive although they never really hang out he seemed to understand her situation.

"I missed you Triz, i never intended to scare you. You should have also been on that yacht i can remember but then you got shipped off early for training and now i am glad that you were not on it" he says putting his face against her neck like he always did he liked the feel off her soft flawless skin, but this time it was not flawless he pulled away to look what his face had came in contact with.

"What happened Triz" he says softly as he looked at the scar, he took his finger and traces her still purple scar from her ear he thought it ended at her neck but when he came to her neck he saw there was more and it ran into her shirt, he slowly pulls away her shirt to see the rest of the scar on her shoulder.

"Nothing it is a battle wound" she said pulling away and turned around she did not want to see the horror on his face. She frowned when she heard a laugh that sounded like Tommy's but it mixed with a girls laugh, she saw his coming up the steps and when he saw her, he stopped dead in his tracks.

Tommy POV:

Tommy had, had a great day with Laurel and he decided he was gonna have dinner with her and his father tonight. Laurel had made a joke as they approached the house and he laughed he then looked up and saw a woman he never thought he would see again and that stopped him dead in his tracks.

"Bea" he whispered softly as he looked at her with a shocked expression he was surprised at seeing her there, it has been five years since their fight and he was sure that she would have never come home again after that in fact he was so sure that he broke all contact with her, he lost her number and threw all her pictures away and he had forgotten about her. But now that she is standing in front of him again he regrets ever doing it. He walks up the last steps and looks at her she had changed a lot since he last saw her. He did not know what to do, but when she hugged him he knew that she had forgiven him and he held onto her and a tear escaped his eyes.

Bea POV:

Tommy looked confused at first and it looked to her like he wanted to run away but then he took the few steps up to her and looked at her again and then she lost it throwing herself on him wrapping her arms around him. She felt one off his tears falling on her neck then she pulled away.

"I am sorry about what i said i did not mean it, please forgive me" she said to him and she hoped he had forgiven her for what she did

"Bea i could never stay angry at you, and it is me that should ask for forgiveness. I am sorry for the things i said you were a grown woman and you make your own decisions" he said to her. She looked at him and she bit her lip.

"Tommy i forgive you, if you forgive me" she smiled slightly at him hoping to break the tension between them and then she felt herself being lifted into a twirling hug and she really felt happy. But how long will this happiness last?
