(SIX MONTHS AGO – THE BEGINNING)
Last night, it took me forever to fall asleep. When I finally drifted off,
the nightmares consumed me. An unfamiliar, unsettling sensation
churns deep within my gut. There’s been this gnawing feeling ever
since I found out about this deployment. My head and my heart are
waging a war against each other, and it’s not a feeling that I’m used
to. I felt the unspoken goodbye when Jaxon made love to me last
night. Things are about to change and I don’t think there will be any
coming back from what happens next.

Jaxon Lucas McBride and I have been together since I was sixteen
years old. Our mothers, Julie and Lena, were best friends growing
up. It was inevitable that their children would become best friends.
And that we did. Jax was just a year older than me, but that didn’t
matter one bit. Where he went, I went. And anywhere I went, he
always followed. That was the way things were.
We both lost our fathers when we were pretty young. Jaxson’s
dad passed away during one of his deployments. The military vehicle
he was in got ambushed. It ended up flipping over multiple times,
landing in a body of water. No one managed to be saved. Everyone
in the vehicle drowned to death. My dad didn’t really die, but it’s felt
like that my entire life. When I was seven years old, he up and left.
Mom and I haven’t heard from him since. I guess it’s better that way.
The only thing he ever gave me was my blue eyes, anyway. If he
didn’t want to be part of our family, then we were better off without
him.
Over the years, we grew closer and closer, making memories to
last a lifetime. It was always a platonic relationship, but neither of us
dated anyone else. I’m not sure if we were both secretly waiting for
one another, but in the end, I guess we were. Our parents always
hoped that we would end up together. What they didn’t realize was
that tragedy, of all things, would bring Jax and me together.
When I was sixteen years old, the doctors diagnosed me with
leukemia. I fought and fought. I went through treatment after
treatment, losing all of my beautiful, long blonde hair in the process.
Once the chemo started, I lost parts of my memory, too. There are
days where I feel like I’m missing huge parts of my life but as soon
the memories try to come through they flutter away. But the one
thing I held onto was Jaxon. At one point, I was skin and bones.
Every day I was withering away, just a shell of the person I used to
be. But not once did Jaxon leave my side. I want to say that Jaxon’s
reasons for staying weren’t because he felt obligated to do so, but to
this day, I don’t have an answer, and I know I never will.
On one of my many stays in the hospital, Jax told me he loved
