Disclaimer: Sorry, I don't own them...wish I did...I DO own Leanna though, hooray!!
I'm not sure if this is any good or not? Do you guys like it? I LOVE reviews! They make me very very happy, and
stuff...umm...I don't think I mentioned this, but later on this will be very angsty, so if depression/self destructive behavior,
drinking, casual sex with random and nameless people (not descriptive, don't worry), abuse, and the sort bother you, you
might want to turn around...this is meant to deal with mature subjects as maturely as I possibly can, if you read my other
fics, you find that it's very dramatic, and deals with very un-funny things that really happen, and if it bothers you (not saying
that it does, but it might) then please don't read, this is real...and I'll step off my soapbox now and get on with the chapter,
I'm done preaching...also, any discrepancies between the movie and this I apologize for, I haven't seen the movie in a long
while, and this is where things get confusing, so please hang with me...again, I love feedback!
Chapter III-Look Who We Have Here
*-*2 Years Later*-*
(For the sake of continuity, Rafe went to Pearl BEFORE he went to England...and well...I've changed a lot of stuff, at this
point, Danny and Rafe are in Pearl and some of the other things will happen the way they did in the movie and other stuff
happens too...only at Pearl)
Nurses. That was the one thing every pilot and sailor lived for. The nurses were here. Rafe's girlfriend was coming on the ship that had just docked. I wasn't too interested in the nurses, I heard Rafe tell the other nurses it was because of my dad and how he used to run me down, but I knew it was because of Beautiful, I missed her. Bad. A day didn't go by since the day we left that I didn't think of my dear, sweet, baby sister, but I didn't let it control my life, I was lost deep in thought standing beside Rafe at the dock, he was looking out for his girlfriend, Evelyn was her name, God knows I couldn't forget, he talks about her all the time, Anthony and Gooz stood behind us, we were all watching the small boat attentively as the gorgeous nurses stepped off it, but none of them caught Rafe's eye, Anthony and Gooz were another story, I was staring blankly at the boat as the women walked off, I was in another world, where Rafe, Leanna, and I still flew over the fields back in Tennessee, I loved to fly, and I missed Leanna, we hadn't been apart at all in our lives, and we depended on each other, because of our dad, I came back to earth when I saw a strikingly familiar lone form walking off of the boat, if her dark brown curls and dancing green eyes weren't a dead giveaway of her identity, then her gliding gait would be, "Rafe" I said, trying to get Rafe's attention, who was gazing past the mysterious woman and at the boat, when that didn't work, I elbowed him in the side, "Rafe!" I said, louder, his head snapped to the side and he opened his mouth to speak. He didn't get the chance. "Rafe, it's Beautiful" I said, my voice not sounding above a whisper, Gooz pushed his head in between me and Rafe's shoulders, "I'll say" he said, looking Leanna up and down, Rafe looked to him and smacked his head, pushing him back, "Shut up" he sighed, looking up to the now ripened woman walking across the dock, "Oh my god" Rafe sighed, tilting his head to better look at her, "She's really here" he sounded unbelieving, that was when another form ran up behind Rafe and touched his shoulder, Rafe spun in toe with me, ready to hit someone, "Evelyn!" Rafe smiled, hugging and kissing her, "You remember Danny?" Rafe smiled over at me, she nodded, I smiled quickly and looked back to the quick approaching girl, woman, my baby sister, she didn't see us standing there, she seemed deep in thought, I smiled at her, beginning to walk in her direction, aiming to cut her off, after about three steps, my stride became longer, and before I knew it, I was jogging to her side, giving no warning before I more-or-less tackled her from behind, hugging her close, a glimmer came instantly to her eyes and spread throughout her entire face in a matter of seconds, "Beautiful" I said, pulling her away from me so I could look at her, then kissed her forehead, "I've missed you" I said, she nodded, "I've missed you two too, so much" she said, the glimmer dimming from her eye as if something dark had crossed her mind, but she pushed it away and the sparkle returned, "But why are you here? You don't turn 18 for 6 months" I said, tipping my head and blinking in confusion, "So..so much has happened since you two left...I couldn't stay in Tennessee any more...I've been a nurse for almost a year now" she said, looking down at her feet and shaking her head, bringing her gaze back to me, or behind me, where Rafe and Evelyn, hand-in-hand, walked up behind me, followed by Gooz and Anthony, she smiled, not waiting for me to answer before she ran and jumped into Rafe's arms, he spun her around like he did with we were little, and then put her feet on the ground, just-in-time for Gooz to step forward, eyeing her excitedly and sticking his hand forward, "The name's Gooz" he said, Leanna just stood there and looked at it, she might have changed on the outside, but somewhere inside was the same, stubborn Leanna Celeste; that was my sister, she looked from me to Rafe then back again at Gooz, "Leanna Walker" she grinned, stressing the Walker slightly, Gooz immediately bit his lip, realizing that thiswas the little sister me and Rafe were always talking about, and knowing that he had no chance with this brunette beauty that we rightfully called 'Beautiful', and Anthony had more sense than to even introduce himself, after the hard looks that Gooz received, and after the initial greeting died down, Leanna smiled past Rafe and at Evelyn, "Hey Ev" she smiled, "It's been a while, Leanna" Evelyn smiled too, "It has" Leanna said, sounding very slightly cold, "Great, everyone knows each other, and we're all completely confused, now let's go eat" Rafe spoke up, lacing his arm around Evelyn's shoulder and leading her away, followed by Gooz and Anthony without a word of approval or dissent, and finally Leanna and I, Leanna seeming uninterested in talking to me, or to anyone for that matter, which left me to contemplate the events, Leanna said that she couldn't take it in Tennessee anymore, what had happened that was so horrible that she had to become a nurse to get away from it? She had her heart set on becoming a pilot, and what had stopped her from that? She seemed different now, something about her was darker, like she was sometimes when we were young, not wanting to speak to anyone, keeping entirely to herself, something was wrong, and I knew it, the sudden darkness that had overtaken my sister's normal personality, and I was eager to know why, but knowing her, she would tell me when she felt like it was best for me to know, the only question was...did I want to know?
*********************************************
