Memories and Mothers
A twelve year old Hawkeye stared stonily ahead, just above the gleaming white casket. Tears gleamed in his eyes, but were determinedly battled back.
He heard the people around his murmuring softly, and ignored them. They thought they knew her, but they didn't. They didn't know her favorite color was blue, a cerulean blue, like the ocean, or that her favorite number was 14. They didn't know her, not like he did.
Of course he knew her, she was his mother.
Was being the key word.
Now she was gone, about to be lowered into the dark space in the ground. The tears burned behind his eyes, but he held them back. Barely.
He tore his glance away form the casket, and looked at his dad, taking quietly to his neighbors. His haze hardened, and his fists clenched. He could have seen his mother one last time before she died, but his father hadn't told him. He just kept saying she would be okay, she would be home soon. Now she would never come home.
Finally, the tears started to fall. Hawkeye turned and ran towards the woods behind the cemetery. He ran, and ran, until he stopped, his breath sobbing in and out, tears trickling down his cheeks. He sat down, leaning against a tree trunk, crying quietly. A little boy, lost, in a sea of sadness.

Hawkeye was jerked out of the memory by the door to the Swamp opening, and BJ poking his head in.
"Hey Hawk, you coming?? I though we were going to the O-Club??"
Hawkeye forced a smile. "Yeah, I'm coming. You go on ahead, I'll be there in a minute." BJ nodded, and left. Hawkeye sent one last look at the photo, of a young woman smiling gaily for the camera, then stood up and walked out.
THE END
A/N: So what do you think???? I have a long list of fanfics I want to right, and this one was as good as any to start with. I haven't written in a while, so I hope I'm not too rusty!! Anyway, I hope you like it, and please, review!!! Oh, by the way, this is complete, unless you guys can think of some way for me to add on....
