Part 3: Reaching the Point of No Return
Author: Clarissa, xoIssaox
Disclaimer: I own everything! Pearl Harbor the movie. Josh Hartnett. Everything...No, not really. I own nothing except my story. Although, if I did own the hottie Joshy, do you really think I'd waste time writing' fanfiction? I don't think so!
Summary: After the day at the beach, the night in the club, and a plane ride of the sunset of Pearl Harbor here comes the aftermath of it all. Begin's after the planeride, right before Rafe returns from England. Please Read and Review.
Notes: I'm glad everyone is enjoying The Point of No Return. Also, I wrote this in the R&R section(but I'll say it again) In Pearl Harbor the novel by Randall Wallace, Evelyn's last name is Stewart, not Johnson. And I being the person whom does not pay any attention thought Rafe's last name is McCrawley(lol). So, it set the record strait it's McCawley. Hehe. I apologize for my lack of attention. AND(finally) I have sub-titles in CAPS in the beginning of scenes in this last chapter of THE POINT OF NO RETURN. I'll stop yappin' now. Enjoy, Issa ;o)

EMOTIONS TAKING OVER
"Hurry, in the parachute hanger!" Danny yelled to Evelyn.
She rushed inside, afraid, but every bit of her body was feeling scandelous. She found a long hanging parachute and swirled herself around.
Danny threw his Hawiian shirt on the floor, rushing in after her. He smiled once he found her. And before he knew what he was doing, he placed her chin in his hand, and kissed her again.
The kiss was filled with so much passion and love, of the very second they were spending together.
The light from warehouse beamed in, shining light on both their faces. Evelyn slipped on one of the long parachutes and fell on the floor. Danny went to help her, but instead fell himself. "Goddamn, parachutes!" Danny said with a grin.
Evelyn laughed lightly. And then she gazed up into his dark brown eyes, and pulled his dogtag down towards her, so he could kiss her again. And she knew that every moment she spent with him, was one she enjoyed.
----
THE MORNING AFTER
Evelyn's eyes slowly opened as the sun's light reflected off the parachutes, illuminating the entire hanger. "Danny..." She whispered softly.
She could still feel him lay asleep, his warm breath on her neck. She carefully placed his arm off her side onto the cold floor. He moved, "Evelyn...?"
"Danny," She hesitated, "I--I, I have to go. I'm going to be late. I'll see you later."
He pushed himself up, rubbing his eyes, looking at her werily. "Are you alright? Is somethin' the matter?"
"I'm fine..." She paused, "Sweetheart. I'm fine. But I have to go." She kissed him softly on the cheek.
As his eyes finally resulted in opening, he only recieved a glimpse of her walking away...

INSPIRATION
The next day, Danny could not stop smiling. He felt happy. He felt wonderful. He was in love with Evelyn Stewart.
Everyone began noticing how he was changing. Red even asked him if he was "O-o-okay". Danny just laughed and replied that he was "Nothing, less than wonderful."
He had never felt like this before. Ever since he was little, he had wanted to write something, something worth it, something beautiful. And, this morning, the words were finally forming. Together. Like Evelyn and he were. He smiled and began writing down what came to his mind.
-----
A LIGHTED DARK ROOM
Evelyn clutched the small note in her hand. Danny had just given her something on his way to work. She glanced down at the folded manila paper.
I soared above the song birds,
And never heard them sing.
I lived my life in winter,
...and then you brought the spring.
She smiled and almost immediately her mind flashed a picture of Danny. He was so sweet just because of the little things he did. And she loved him, she could feel it every time he was near. She could feel it when she thought of him. She could feel it when she was with him.
To her it felt just like his poem. She felt her life had been a winter, a dark room. And then he was there to confort her and love her. And it was as if light poured into the dark room. But just as the room began illuminating it darkened again...because she still had Rafe in her mind. He was the first man she had ever fell in love with. But he was gone now, he's the past. Danny's the present...the future. As she continued to remind herself this, she couldn't help but hope Danny felt the same way.

MOONLIT PROMISE OF HEART
The shimmering moonlight reflected on Pearl Harbor like a thousand lightbulbs illuminating. Evelyn sat inside the R.N. Nurse Barracks' Porch. It was almost midnight, yet she wasn't feeling tired. She watched as the water flowed past the shoreline and then out...into the ocean, out into the world.
"Evelyn, what are you doing?" Betty asked as she opened the door.
Evelyn continued gazing out into harbor. "Nothing, I just couldn't sleep."
"Me either." Betty replied, she sat down next to Evelyn on the wooden bench. "Did you want some warm milk? I could fix you some--"
"No, Betty, I'm fine," Evelyn finally turned to Betty, "So, I heard about how Red proposed to ya."
Betty's face suddenly lit up. "I love 'um. I love Red so much. I can't wait to be his wife. I feel like ev'ry part of my body has finally become alive because'a him."
Evelyn smiled. "Promise to invite me to the wedding?"
Betty placed a hand on Evelyn's shoulder. "Of course. Just as soon as this war is over, you'll be first to be an invitation. Golly, I'm so excited--" Betty stopped and both of their heads turned to the bushes which were moving. "What was that?"
"What in the world?" Evelyn gasped. "We better get inside--"
A shadowy figure advanced towards the porch. Suddenly, Evelyn noticed the figure. It was Danny. "Evelyn?" He whispered softly.
Evelyn got up and unlocked the door. "Danny, what are you doing here?" Betty slowly slid back into the house to leave the two alone.
"I had to see 'ya." He admited quickly, blushing after. "I have to apologize for not bein' able to stop by earlier. General Gregton wouldn't let us leave until--"
"Shh..." Evelyn placed a finger on his lips, and then slowly slid it down. She stepped outside on the steps. "Don't want to wake the Head R.N. Now, do ya'?"
"No, I wouldn't want to do that. Could you maybe...uh," he hesitated, "Take a walk with me. I gotta see ya', talk to ya'. Just bein' with ya, Evelyn, it makes me feel..." His words drifted off.
Evelyn looked at him intently. Then she finished his sentence, "...like you've become alive for the first time."
He looked back up at her. "Yeah, that's it."
Evelyn gazed into his dark brown eyes as they walked down the road, towards the harbor. "I feel the same way, Danny."
He paused for a moment, nervousness approaching him, and then he gently slid his hand into hers. He held it tightly. "So, how are ya'?"
Evelyn exhaled deeply. She looked out at the beach infront of them. "To be honest, I feel horrible inside. I feel like I betrayed Rafe, like I did somethin' I wasn't suppose to." She turned to face him. "But, then I look at you and I really feel like it's wrong to feel this wonderful, because, Danny, that's you make me feel. Wonderful."
Danny thought for a moment. How could he respond to this? Did she admit that she felt what they were doing was wrong...or right? Or what. "Evelyn..." He hesitated. "Unfortunatly, I feel the exact same way. You don't know what you've done for me. You made me look at life differently. You opened up my eyes to a world I hadn't known yet. And as for Rafe, he's the one person that's ever been able to do that besides you. He'd probably think I'm a bastard for fallin' for ya. Maybe I am...but I can't help it. I can't help how I feel." He struggled with his words, somehow trying to form what he was going to say in his mind. He turned to her, nothing but his love leading the rest of his words. "If I had to make a promise to you, and maybe Rafe too, it would be that I would love you just as much--or even more--then Rafe would have. Because I know he would love you with his whole heart. But instead of havin' just his heart," He paused, slowly sliding her hand over his heart, "...you'll have mine, too."
Evelyn looked up at him. 'There he goes being sweet again.' She thought. She felt speechless. "Thank you, Danny. I--"
"Shh..." Danny sat down on the soft sand, Evelyn sat beside him, his arms around her. "You don't need to thank me for anything." He whispered into her ear.
Evelyn closed her eyes tightly, trying to make a memory so in years after she would be able to come back to this place with Danny, this place she would say she was completely content. She rested her head on his shoulder, as they laid back on the sand. "How did I get so lucky?"
Danny laced his hand between hers. "What do ya' mean?"
"How did I get so lucky, to find the two best men in the entire Airforce. How did I get so lucky to find you?" She pushed herself up, leaning on her sand-covered arm, gazing into his eyes.
He turned to her. "So, you think you're lucky, huh?"
"Extremely lucky." She replied easily. She laid back down on his stomach, now lacing her hands between his.
He gazed out at the ocean ahead of them. "I am too."
Evelyn looked at his strong hands, kissing them and placing them to her side. "Really. Why's that?"
"Because I found you." He replied modestly.
Evelyn smiled, taking a deep breath and letting it out again. "I don't think it could get any better than this, Danny."
"God, I hope it doesn't get any worse." He joked, closing his eyes to enter a deep sleep.
Little did they know it was about to. Rafe's plane had just landed five miles away back at the Airforce. But as they remained ignorant to what laid ahead...the bombing for Pearl Harbor...Rafe coming back to life...they knew one thing. That was they had reached the one place where they could say they truly loved each other, a place they could not escape, they had reached. . .the point of no return.
