enjoy :)
CPOV
I woke up and turned to look at Sonny. She had her engagement ring on her finger and she had a smile on her face. Stupid Cute! I grabbed my pants and wobbled my way to the living room. I sat on the couch and started watching CSI: Miami. After finishing the episode, I saw Sonny get up from the bed. "Hey sweaty, did you sleep okay?" I asked.
"Yes. I had some very nice dreams."
"K. Good."
Suddenly the phone rang. I reached over to the phone and saw that it said unknown name. I picked it up and hit the greed button, "Hello?"
"Hi," a stern male voice said, "is this the Cooper residence?"
"Yes. This is Chad Cooper."
"Hello Chad. I'm Sergeant Robert James and I've called to tell you that you have 3 hours to pack up your things and leave for Iraq."
"Wait. Isn't there a war there?"
"Yes. We need some more soldiers. You and many others are going to be fighting for this country."
"I don't have a choice do I?"
"Sorry. We will have a limo waiting for you outside your house in 3 hours. Sorry for the inconvenience."
"It's okay. Bye." I hung up the phone in shock.
I looked at my fiancé and a tear dropped from my face. "What's wrong sweetie?" she asked.
"I have bad news. I have to leave for Iraq in 3 hours. They are running out of soldiers and I have to go." More and more tears started falling from my cheeks.
"Today?" she asked. A lonely tear fell from her cheeks as well.
I gulped, "Yes. I'm so sorry."
She ran over to me and jumped into my arms. She was crying heavily now and I was too. I held her close to me. I could feel our hearts beating in tune. Then she let go. "Since I love you, I have to let you go."
"Ya. I know." Was all I could manage to say.
We then started packing all of my things into the suitcase.
The three hours flew by because when I looked outside my window, I saw the limo. Sonny and I slowly walked toward the elevator. I looked at her face and it showed no expression. When the doors finally opened we walked toward the front door. When we reached the limo, I turned to face her. "Well I guess this is goodbye for now."
"I guess so." She answered.
I grabbed her hand. "Never take off this ring, alright."
"Never."
"I'm sorry to tell you but you need to move on. Forget about me. I don't know how long this will take. I will write you but I don't know how this long distance relationship is going to work out."
More and more tears fell from her face, "Ok. I'll try to move on," a faint smile shined from her lips.
I reached down and kissed her cheek. I gave my bags to the limo driver and gave Sonny one last hug. I went into the limo and rolled down the window. "I will always be thinking of you." Those were my final words.
SPOV
I watched my fiancé be driven down a path of death. All I could do was stand there and hope that the limo would turn around and he would return to me and take everything back that he said. "I will always be thinking of you too." I whispered.
