Chapter 44 - chapter 44

Fuck...not him too...

I see him lying lifeless of the ground a few feet away from me, (no...I don't have time! I have to see if those three are ok!) I drag myself off the floor with my shoulder still throbbing and bleeding but I don't care, I somehow manage to get to the west end and the sight made my blood runs cold, there clear as day...I see Julian just lying there...his arm blown off...just dead..

N..no...no please...no...

I kneel down next to him and check his pulse with shaky hands,

N..no please... don't do this to me!

Tears start to escape from my eyes and I frantically look around and there he is... lying just a few feet away between many other Bodies... Derek...

No please... don't do this to me! Please...

Tears escape my eyes continuesly and I frantically look around for Jordan, he's not where in sight,

Jordan! Where are you!!?

I tell out with my shaky and hoarse voice hoping he'll respond but nothing...just silence... I was losing my mind when my radio buzzes

All personnel please report to the main hall! I repeat all soldiers retreat now!

I wipe my tears, not wanting to leave these two behind but I had no choice, (I'm sorry buddies ..you will be remembered!... always...) I get back with grabbing my shoulder which feels like it might explode and head back to the main hall where the others had gathered,

You're all going back

The crows starts murmuring and whispering instantly as the commander said these words,

But why? It's not over yet!

A soldier spoke up,

I've called in team B. They'll take over. You guys are gonna head back home tomorrow morning, and as for you...

The commander turns to me

You're being discharged wells. You're not fit to serve anymore

I look at him in shock an then panic sets in

B..but I need a place for me and my brother commander! What will I do?

He looks at me with those firm eyes,

That's not our problem now. Thank you for your service of 8 years

He takes off his hat and gives me a salute and so do all the other soldiers, this was supposed to be a happy moment but I was terrified...

Commander but what about Jordan?? I couldn't find his body anywhere!

He looks at me with eyes of pity

In this cases ..we assume the body has been ripped to shreds...

My heart sinks further...I list everyone in just one day ..

Get you stuff ready Wells. You'll be home tomorrow.

The commander said as he walks off and leaves me just standing there wanting to just die..and then I hear it...a loud...BOOM!

Present time

I jolt up in bed, all sweating and panting and realize I'm back at the house, Sebastian enters the room and rushes over to me

Hey are you ok? You fell asleep so I drove us home

He says in a calm tone sitting besides me on the bed

Y..yeah I'm fine...

I reply my breath shaky and my hands now trembling, he notices

What's wrong? Are you ok? Did you have a bad dream?

He asks me concerned, I just try to compose myself and just nod

Can I ask what you dreamt about?

He asks me in a gentle tone

I..my last battle before I got discharged...

I mutter out in a low voice, he nods slowly, he gently holds my shaky hands into his,

What's wrong..?

SEBASTIAN'S POV

What's wrong?

I ask him as I see his hands shaking,

I..it's nothing...it happens sometimes...

He replies and I can tell he's still a bit shaken up from his dream

It's ok just calm down...I'm right here...

I keep holding his hands and eventually his breathing goes back to normal, I breathe a sigh of relief

Whatever you faced...must be traumatic to have these side effects no...?

He looks at me and slowly looks down and I can tell there's a lot in his mind, I gently cup his face with my hands,

Just know I'll always be here for you...ok?

He looks at me and smiles softly,

Sebastian...

He says with those big brown eyes that make me fall in love all over again,

Yes princess?

I ask him

Thank you...I don't know what I'd do without you...

He says looking at me and I just pull him closer,

And...I'm sorry...

I look at him confused,

Why are you sorry princess? There's nothing you need to be sorry for.

I tell him and I can see some gears turning in his head as he seems to be deep in his thoughts, I don't know what he's thinking but I just want to wait for him to tell me on his own.
