3 weeks later

Everythings coming back to me but i still get a ton of headaches, im in Washington D.C, apparently we were riding back to base when we ran over an I.E.D luckily bear is fine and wall only got minor cuts and bruises but.......Mendez never made it out of the humvee. The rest of us were thrown out of it by the explosion but Mendez wore his seatbelt like a good soldier should but it kept him in a burning humvee with ammunition cooking off around him. God he was just 19, even though im only 22 but he was 3 months out of college. All he wanted to do was be a good marine and make his dad proud, headaches are coming back...........Im being released in 4 days is what im told. Im going straight home, i need to see her.

6 days later

The plane just landed and im freaking out, its been 16 months since ive seen her, god its felt like years. As we step into the airport i see her and my knees give away under me and i just fall, i didnt even notice i was crying until she was wiping tears away. God i missed her short black hair, her beautiful brown eyes and her smile, god her smile.
"T-t-t-they said you were, that you were" she stutters trying to form the words.
"Shhh im right here baby, its ok im right here" i say lookimg into her eyes and holding her tight and planning on never letting go.
"Sir im sorry but youre holding up the line" i look up relaizing how many people are behind me patiently waiting for our reunion to move along.
"Im sorry everybody" i say raising my fiance into my arms and carrying her away like the princess i saw her as.
"I can walk Jonathon" she says using my full name which she knows i love when she says it.
"I do apologize maam" i say with a thick southern twang.
"Consider yourself pardoned cowboy" she says in a more rediculous southern accent.
"God ive missed you" i say as i lean in and meet her lips with mine. After about 2 minutes of thiswe both realize how many people have stopped to stare at us.
"Maybe we should get goin huh babe?" I ask her. Before i get a response she pulling my arm with my duffel overher shoulder. We get to my old 1969 charger and she throws my bad in the back and tosses me the keys.
"Drive me home devil dog?" She asks like we were on our first date.
"Anytime you need me to cutie" i say as i wink at her.

Thought id give another chapter to make up for how short the last one was.
