[CHAPTER 3]
Reiben's POV
"Why does this still affects me? Why can't I just move on? It's all my fault! They're dead because of me. Why am I cursed? Dammit!" I went in the direction of the screaming and saw her punching the wall and cursing. I ran over to her "Are you alright?" she turned to me wide eyed probably because she was expecting someone else, I should've stayed at the church.
"What the hell are you doing here?" "I came to see how you're doing, Jazz told us what happend at Omaha" "I don't wanna talk about it" her voice sounded broken and my heart broke too. Why am I feeling like this? This is my best friend's little sister. Fuck. "you don't have to talk but lemme see your hand please"
"why?" "what?" "why do you care so much? we just met" "I don't know just seemed like the right thing to do. Now lemme see that hand"
Al's POV
He came. Reiben came to check up on me. He deserves to know the full story. I should tell him. "It was all my fault" "what?" "I shouldn't let her enter the bunker" I hate crying, and now here I am, crying in front of a stranger, my brother's best friend. "hey" "don't. I was wrong. I need to talk about it." "ok"
"when we were on the boat to the beach, me, Jazz and Micha, the sharpshooter and our best friend, we promised to try and keep one another alive. When we reached the bunkers we heard voices and we were going to throw grenades at the bunker but she started running towards it and enter, I ran after her, and started shooting at the germans inside the bunker. I thought she was covered but no, she was lying there. Lindsay, our medic tried to save but it was to late, she was dead. I couldn't save her. I couldn't save my best friend." I started sobbing harder and he came and put his arms around me, I felt safe in his arms.
Reiben's POV
I didn't know what to do so I just hugged her. She put her head on my chest and let it all out. It felt right being with her this way, not with her crying, don't take me wrong. It felt right to be in eachother's arms. But like every good moment it had an end. we heard someone cough and we turned our heads to see who was it. "How you doing, Al?" "I think I'm better Jazz" She turned to me and said "Everyone is waitting, but can I talk to you for a minute?" The last part was directed to Al. I let her out of my arms, stood up and nod my head to them.
Jazz's POV
OMFG I can't believe she just let a stranger hug her. I mean she doesn't like people touching her. "Soo, what was that?" "I don't know, I mean, I don't like people around me, but it felt right.. Being in his arms felt right, made me feel safe" oh she is so in love! "You like him, don't ya?"
