A/N: Enjoy!
Isabella's heart nearly dropped to the floor. Two weeks? That wasn't nearly enough time to do everything she wanted to do with him.
"Y…yo…you're kidding. Please tell me you're kidding." Isabella stuttered.
Ben shrugged and shook his head.
"I wish I could, sis." He answered.
"F…for how long?" she asked "How long are you going to be gone for?"
"About three to six months." He answered.
Three to six months?
"Or maybe even a year." He continued.
A year!
Isabella couldn't believe it. One year without seeing her closest friend? One year where his life would be put at risk on a nearly daily basis? She was about to open her mouth to speak when the bell rang, interrupting her. Her thoughts swirled endlessly in a chaotic whirlpool, spinning her in an endless cycle of horribly depressing thoughts. She needed a quiet place to think. She picked up her bag and ran as quickly as she could to her homeroom, nearly knocking over a young and pretty Filipina woman, a Ms. Kristin Cruz. In addition to being the school's nurse, she was also known as Ben's High School Sweetheart as well. Kristin almost wanted to see what was wrong. However, the answer slowly dawned on her as she realized where Isabella was running from. She made her way to her office and set down her things before turning to the Recruiting office, where she found her boyfriend in his usual deep-thought pose, staring off into the distance with a blank expression on his face
"I assume she didn't take the news well?" she asked.
"Nope." he confirmed, his face unchanging.
"Should I call her back up?" she asked, rubbing his back.
He only shook his head once more. "No, it's fine… she just needs some time to process the information, that's all."
Kristin could tell this was an emotional time for her boyfriend, his family, his friends, and even herself.
"You wanna talk about it?" she asked.
"Yeah. After work?"
"Of course." Kristin smiled, giving him a quick pat on the back before returning to her desk to begin the workday. As her thoughts drifted towards her boyfriend, her mind began to brew up a concoction made up of her worse nightmares. Uncertainty and anxiety began to fill her thoughts. Would Ben really be ok out there? Was he actually going to make it home?
She was letting herself get carried away. She would have to cross that bridge when she got to it. For now, her only focus was to make sure she was doing her job and spending as much time with her boyfriend as humanly possible.
