After The War
Chapter Five: Back Home
I am so sorry about the last chapter, I gave no reason as to why Romano wanted to leave or anything. I really am sorry and it will be explained in this chapter, so hopefully you won't be as confused! Now time to answer the reviews:
Spamano4ever - You shall find out this chapter!
Onward with the story!
I walked down the street, it was lit by street lamps, really ugly ones at that. Nobody was out, it was just me. It was really cold, I should've grabbed a thicker jacket than this one. I look behind me, nobody's following me, good.
Oh this is great, just great, it's raining. Now I have to find shelter and I am sure as hell not going back to them. Well, I'm approaching a forest, the tree's will protect me from the rain! I run to the trees, but my foot with the cast decided it's the perfect time to give out under me and I go face first into the pavement separating me from the trees.
I pick myself up, ouch, that really fucking hurt. I can feel blood dripping into my only eye, my vision is turning red, I really don't think that is a good thing. I wipe it away and my vision is returning to normal colours, I have a cut just above my right eyebrow and it's deep, dammit, this is just what I need right now, not.
More slowly this time, I make my way to the forest, looking for a tree that has big enough branches to cover me. I finally find one, it's this massive okay tree that looks like it's been here forever. I slide down, leaning on the trunk, wheezing. I can feel a sneeze coming on, I really hate sneezing, it hurts my chest.
The sneeze finally comes, making my entire body shake and brings on a bout of coughs, am I getting sick? Well, this was a bad idea, this was a really bad idea. I should've just stayed on the couch, I should've just stayed home. I should really get up and go home, I start to get up, but then I start sneezing and I have to sit back down again, well I guess I can't go home.
Why did I even leave? Was there even a reason? Yeah, yeah there was. I was scared, I mean, it's not everyday you find yourself sleeping in only your boxer's on Spain. I was scared and I wanted to leave, I just wanted to get out. I guess I also wanted to explore by myself and I really didn't want to be in a house with France.
Okay, after it stops raining, I'll go home, I hope they won't be mad at me. If they are, I'll just start crying, their heart will melt because I am just so damn cute, and then they'll forgive me and we'll eat something delicious. It's the perfect plan! I'm a genius!
My eyelids are getting heavy and my breathing has evened out, well as much as it's going to. A nap wouldn't be so bad, would it? Nah it wouldn't.
(Le Dream)
Bombs are exploding around me, I can't hear anything, but I feel the agony of my soldiers dying. I brace myself for the next wave of pain and reload my gun, shooting at any of the Allies I see. I don't hear it, but I feel a bullet ripping through the hunk of flesh that is my shoulder. Hypnotized, I watch the blood fly from the wound and stain my uniform, numb to the pain. I am drawn from the bullet wound as I hear a scream and turn just in time to feel the pain of a grenade needle piercing through my eye. I hear a small pop and I can't see anything out of my left eye, I can feel blood flowing from my left eye. Then I feel something hit my face, I get a look at it before everything turns white, it's a grenade without the needle.
(End of Le Dream)
I wake up with wide eye, chest heaving and tears flowing from my remaining eye. I lift my index finger to feel the bandage that covers that empty cavity that was my left eye. I wipe the tears away and take deep breaths, trying to calm myself. I look around, why am I in a forest? The events of last night come rushing back and I feel a wave of nausea hit me full force.
I cradle my head in my hands and I try to stop the nausea, squeezing my eyes shut. I can feel my stomach cramp or something like that, it feels like someone is ripping my organs apart, long story short, it fucking hurts. I bite my lower lip, trying to divert my attention from the pain in my stomach to the one in my lip which is way less.
After about five or twenty minutes of sitting there, I really have no sense of time, the pain finally leaves and I can lift my head up. As I lift myself up, I feel shaky and I have to use the tree to help me balance. I take a step forward, the shaky feeling doesn't leave, but I don't fall over, that's always a good thing. I take a few more steps and I'm at the edge of the road,, I've emerged from the forest in one piece, I am a survivor of nature!
I look at the sky, it seems to be sometime in the afternoon. I see the sidewalk that will lead me back to my home, my home which I tried to escape last night. I look both ways down the road, no cars coming either way, I make a break for it, running across the road and onto the sidewalk. I didn't trip at all, I really am getting good with this cast.
I start walking down the sidewalk, looking for my house, it easy to find, it's the one with the Italian flag coloured car, the Spanish flag coloured car, and the French flag coloured car. After walking for an amount of time, I find my house. This is where I wilt, terrified of what I might come home to find. I take a deep breath and walk up the driveway. I'm standing at the door now, oh God maybe I should go back to the tree and wait for them to find me. I lift my hand to knock, there's no going back now, I finally gently knock...
I am sorry about this chapter also, it isn't my best, but I guess it's okay. If you need some clarification on anything about this story, just PM me or review and I will answer it next chapter!
