Yeah yeah. We were close. Everyday we spent together, in the morning, at school and at night. Our relationship strengthened by the day and I could feel myself lose interest with...everything that wasn't him. It was understandable I guess, and I told myself it was because I spent every waking moment with him. But I knew the truth. I mean, how could I not love him, he was the only person who had ever protected me, looked out for me, fought for me...the list goes on. One day, years after, we had to have been at least 18, he asked me to meet him after school. He left me a nice outfit, some flowers and a note with the address of some fancy restaurant. I was so sure he was going to-actually now that I think about it, I had no idea what I thought was going to happen. Did I think he was going to propose, no. But did I think what was going on was going to lead to something special, yes, I did.
I had walked to the restaurant, it's bright lights shined as I walked in. The whole place was decorated like Valentine's Day, hearts and red table cloths. There was a live band, playing some gentle love song on various instruments, that really added to the whole vibe. All of a sudden his hand wrapped around my shoulder. "Lookin good K" he jokes, urging me to follow some well dressed waiter to our table.
"You know you could call me by my name sometime" I teased back. Erik pulled my chair out for me and took the one across the way, immediately we broke out into a cheerful conversation. It was nice to see him happy, he almost never was. His emotions were permanently muted when he was in public and rarely did he get excited about things, today seemed different. I loved it. He had this gleam in his eye that I hadn't seen before and this passion in the way he talked that made me think that there was nobody else in the world for me. "Keira?" Erik's voice pulls me back to reality and I notice his expression had turned serious. My eyes widen and I guess he takes that as a response. "I know this is going to be a change, and it's gonna be difficult for the both of us, but..." His voice trails off and I can feel the fear set in as he reaches over the table to place his hand over mine. "I have decided to join the military."
