Today I say goodbye to my brother and it hurts because I don't want him to go. He has been picked for a new programme that the Army put together.

I'm in the kitchen cooking breakfast even though I'm not hungry but Steve will need to eat before he goes. I feel tears sting my eyes so try to hold them back because I don't want Steve to see them. I hear him walk into the kitchen and look over to see he looks really tired.

"Steve, did you even sleep last night?" I ask. He looks up at me and shakes his head.

"I want to know if you think I'm doing the right thing." He says. Oh God, I can't really tell him what I really think because in reality I think he is being stupid and this War could end badly.

"Steve you're fighting for our country, our freedom and of course for a better future. Yes, Steven Grant Rogers you are doing the right thing." I lie and he looks at me with a smile.

"Thank you Buggie. What are you cooking?" He asks standing next to me.

"Your favourite. Boiled eggs, bacon, toast and a few mushrooms. You need it because you might not eat properly again until you come home." I say plating it up and giving it to him.

"What about you? Aren't you having anything?" He asks and I shake my head.

"I'm not hungry right now Steve. I will most likely eat later." I say but know I won't. Ever since Bucky left I haven't been able to eat too much. He shakes head then makes me sit with him.

"Here, eat this piece of toast. I have noticed since Bucky left you've hardly been eating and you are looking sickly. You need to promise me when I go you will eat normally then when Bucky and I come home we can go out for a meal just the three of us." He says. I look into his eyes and see it there. The pleading which always makes me agree.

"I promise Stevie. You have to promise to write to me okay." I say then he smiles and nods.

"Of course Buggie. I will also make Bucky write too." He says and I giggle rolling my eyes.

"That will most likely be the other way around and you know it." I say which makes him laugh shrugging with a smile.

The minutes are going too fast for me. Steve's bus to take him will be here in a couple of hours and my emotions are all over the place. It's going to be so hard without him here. I already find it hard enough with Bucky gone and having to listen to the radio to make sure none of the One O Seventh haven't been captured or killed. Of course I'm listening to it now.

"Sergeant Andy Dobson has been captured by H.Y.D.R.A and a few other men in the One O Second have been killed on the front lines."

"Becky, stop worrying about Bucky. He knows how to fight." Steve says walking into the kitchen again. I turn to look at him to see he is wearing his Army uniform and tears sting my eyes then walk over and straighten out his tie then stand back.

"You look just like dad except a little smaller. If dad didn't die in the first War he would be so proud of you Stevie and so would mum." I say hugging him tightly. He wraps his arms around me hugging me even tighter which makes the tears fall down my cheeks and onto his uniform.

"Buggie you are strong. I know you will be okay without me here. I know it's going to be a little hard at first but you can just pretend that its like I've gone to camp and you will hear from me." He says wiping the tears and kisses my head.

"That's just it, isn't it Stevie? This isn't you going to camp. You're going to War and I don't know if you will return. I don't even know if Bucky will return. I'm just so scared for the both of you. Bucky is already fighting on the front line and it won't be long until you are." I say hugging him tightly again.

"I promise you Buggie both Bucky and I will return home after the War. When we do you can be reunited with Bucky. I know you will want to have time alone." He says and I try to smile but I really can't.

"If you two do return I will slap both of you to make sure you are real then may hug you if it turns out my brother and the love of my life are real and have come home." I say which makes him laugh.

"You need to keep that in mind Buggie because it will help you through." He says and I nod knowing he is right once again.

I soon hear the bus outside so walk with Steve. This goodbye is going to be harder because it's my brother. He is the most important person in the world to me apart from Bucky who is the love of my love. Before he gets on the bus he hugs me tightly and more tears fall.

"Look after yourself Little sister. I will be home before you know it." He says then lets go.

"It's you who needs to look after yourself Steve. For the love of God, do not pick fights with the bigger men on the squad." I say which makes him laugh.

"I can't promise. I will see you once the War is over." He says leaning out of the window. I wait until it starts moving while waving at Steve until I can no longer see him then turn around and go back into the house.

As I close the door all of the tears fall down my cheeks then sit on the floor of the silent, empty house. The only sound is my small sobs. I really do hope they come home to me. I swear I will slap both of them for leaving me alone.

It's been a couple of days since Steve has left and I've kept my promise to him by eating. I'm at the store getting what I can with the ration tokens before heading home. Normally I would have to cook for the three of us but because it's now just me the food lasts a little longer.

I switch on the television to watch the news to see if anyone well, mainly Bucky has been captured or killed. When the news man doesn't say Bucky's name while listing off the names of the men who have sacrificed their lives for the country I go to the kitchen.

I just pray Steve knows what he is doing by accepting the programme. I really hope it will do him more good than harm. I can't wait for my brother and the love of my life to come home again.
