Chapter one

EPOV

Who is this beautiful woman and why does she look vaguely familiar? I'm on a plane heading to a marine base camp in Florida. I currently graduated from boot camp in Denali, Alaska as a first Lieutenant and was being shipped out all thanks to my General. Now to calm my curiosity and find out who this woman is.

" Umm… excuse me but I see that you're wearing a marine uniform. Are you being shipped out also?" I ask. For some reason I'm nervous to talk to her. It feels as if she has an aura of dominance around her.

" Why yes I am. I got out of boot camp two months ago and just got the call back yesterday. I'm currently heading towards a base in Florida. I see you're also in uniform. May I ask where you are headed?"

" I'm on my way to Florida also. Since there is only one Lieutenant General I'm going to say you will be working under Lieutenant General Swan like I am. Where did you go to boot camp?" She looks so familiar maybe we went to the same boot camp or I saw her in a picture somewhere.

" I trained in Denali, Alaska. I exceeded in sniping so that's probably what I'll be doing when we are out at sea. What you? Where did you train and what did you specialize in?"

So we did go to the same boot camp but if she graduated two months ago there's no way we would have trained together. " I also trained in Denali, Alaska but I'm not very good at sniping but because of my size and dedication they might make me a first Lieutenant but it depends on how I perform on the ship." We continued to talk some more and I found out we are both twenty and have a few things in common. Before we know it out plane has landed and we're walking through the terminal looking for our rides. After a few minutes of searching I voice my opinion on looking outside. We walk out and I instantly see a car with a driver standing next to it holding a sign with my name on it. That's when it hit me that I didn't even ask her what her name was. I turn around to see her walking to a military hummer and the driver holding a sign that says Lieutenant General Bella Swan written on it.

Wait Bella Swan!? All my high school memories come flooding back to me. This is my sweet, innocent Bella? No not mine… I almost hurt her and I'm not good enough for her. I watch her put her bags in the trunk and slowly turn to face me once again. " See you at the base Edward." Her voice rings in my ears. She knew it was me this whole time and didn't even say anything on the plane or even in the terminal. I really did love Bella and I still do.

After she dumped me and moved away I became depressed and practically depended on my steroids. I wouldn't talk to friends or family and I became violent because the steroids were messin with my head. Both of my coaches kicked me off the team and I was so pissed I got in there faces and managed to get suspended for the rest of sophomore year which was only about two months. My parents tried to talk to me and attempted to get me to talk to a therapist but I would skip or just sit in the corner and not respond to anything she said. One day a marine General showed up at my door and told me to pack my bags because my parents decided to sign me up for the marines.

I knew not to argue with this guy because he was twice my size and I was pretty sure he could kill me with one blow to the head. Once we were in the car he turned to me and started talking with this stupid grin plastered on his face. ( Guess who lol )

" My name is Emmett McCarty but to you its General McCarty. First order of business is for you to hand over all steroids and other drugs you have with you." I dug around in my bag until I pulled out the bottle of pills I stashed in there. I figured this is probably the best time to get off my addiction. " Good now I should inform you that there is no way out of this so don't try and don't waste your energy thinking of ways to leave. You are lets say my special assignment and once you are done training you will be shipped out to a base in Florida where I will do regular check ins with you and your Lieutenant General. Sound good to you?"

" Ummm… I guess." I mumble to him. The car starts up and tears out of the driveway. I barely have time to turn around and watch my house disappear as the car drives into the trees.

-----------------------------------------------------------------End Flashback------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I try to say something to Bella but before I can get one word out she hops into the hummer, closes the door, and rides away. I climb into the car that is still waiting for me and start planning. I'm going to be at sea with her for four months so it the perfect time to show her I have changed for the better and I WILL make her realize she still loves me. I ask the driver how long till we're at the base and he says an hour so that's just the right amount of time to get a quick nap in.
