Enjoy!

"I have a very serious question for you." Hailand said, obviously struggling to pull on whatever she Is trying on now.

"Oh yeah, whats that?" I asked, sipping on my caramel frappe.

Now I'm sorry to say, but I personally like McDonalds frappes a lot more than Starbucks. I have nothing against Starbucks Its just... I dont know, McDonalds frappes taste better and there a hell of a lot cheaper too.

Hailand and I have a deal. I will go shopping with her, If she buys me food. Thats the only reason I'm at the mall right now, food. She backed out of the dressing room and turned to face me. She made a swift turn so I could see her ass.

"Do these jeans make my ass look, hubba hubba?" Hailand asked.

I took a long minute to examine her butt. What? Thats not weird. She Is practically my sister.

"Yep, your butt looks good." I said.

"Then I shall buy these." Hailand said with a smile.

I shook my head at her weirdness.

After purchasing the jeans, Hailand decided she wanted a hot dog. She doesn't even like hot dogs. I mean, they are filled up with the remainders of pig. Gross. That news, Is totally cringe worthy. So here we were, sitting down and I was watching Hailand scarf down her hot dog, while I ate a burger. I slightly jumped when my butt started to vibrate. I leaned up slightly and grabbed my phone from my back pocket.

I looked at the caller ID and my stomach started to twist In knots. My brother has not called me, or sent a letter for a whole two weeks. So, I can Imagine how you think I feel.

"Hello?"

"Get the hell off me, Kade."

"Why?"

"Im trying to contact my damn sister. So get the fuck off me."

"Oo, the hot one?!"

I slightly cringed at the deep voice, calling me hot. Thats so disrespectful. You call a girl, pretty, beautiful, or gorgeous. Oh and never call a girl cute. I dont know about anyone else, but when someone calls me cute, It makes me feel like a puppy. Puppys are cute, not girls.

"Um, Miles?" I asked.

"Don't ever call my sister hot! Thats so disrespectful! I will personally shove my gun up your ass!"

I giggled at Miles protective- ness.

"Miles." I said.

"Do you understand m- Oh, hey baby sister." Miles said.

"Hey, okay now you get to tell me why the fuck you had me worried for a whole two damn weeks." I said.

I looked over at Hailand and she mouths, Who Is It?

I mouthed 'Miles' and she told me that she wanted to talk to him after me.

"Okay, I was busy with the training. Yeah I said It, training. I went to damn training for a year and a half and now they are making us train more. Lieutenant said It was 'secret' information, so I didn't have time to call you; not even at night. He had us working until 5:00AM." Miles said.

"Okay, well where are you?" I asked.

I heard a deep sigh and Miles spoke, even though I already knew the answer.

"You know I can't tell you that baby sis." Miles said.

"I know." I sighed.

"How Is school?" Miles asked.

"Same 'ol same 'ol." I said.

"Sucks for you." Miles said.

"Way to be positive." I said with an eyeroll even though Miles couldn't see me.

"When are you coming home?"

"Soon." Miles said.

"Okay." I said.

I have asked that same question and I get the same answer everytime. I know he doesn't know when hes coming back. He only says soon, because he doesn't wanna worry me.

"Hey." Miles said.

"Yeah." I said.

"Don't worry about me. I made a promise and I'm gonna keep It." Miles said.

"How do you know that?" I asked.

"Because I know." Miles said.

When Miles was 19 years old, before he left, he promised me he would come back, alive.

"Hey Hailand wants to talk to you." I said.

I handed the phone over to Hailand and was drowned In my thoughts. I mean, Miles does not know for sure he won't get shot... He doesn't know when he's coming back. Tears brimmed my eyes and my breathing went staggered.

Before I knew It, Hailand slid my phone back to me. I looked at the phone to see the call was ended.

"Its okay."

That was the second I realised I was engulfed In a hug and a small crowd had appeared. I looked up to see sympathy faces. I hate when people give me sympathy. For all they know Is I could have broke a nail. They don't know whats wrong.

Hailand let go, and the blood In my body began to boil with all the pity faces.

Why are they looking at me like that?

"Because you were sobbing."

I turned to see Hailand giving me the same damn look. I didn't mean to say that aloud either.

"What the fuck?! What are you all looking at me like that for? Can't a girl cry because she hasn't seen her brother for a whole two In a half damn years because hes off serving the country?! Move, stop circling around me. Get away, yall all look like a bunch of teenagers waiting for a fight to erupt!" I yelled.

Hailand grabbed my arm, and lightly tugged on It signaling for me to walk with her. I followed behind her with tears streaming down my face.

"Are you okay?" Hailand asked once we got In her red jeepy.

"Yeah." I said.

"Liar." Hailand said.

"I know." I said with a blank face, staring out the window.
"He will be back. He's not gonna leave you. I promi--"

"Don't make promises If you know you can't keep them." I snapped cutting her off.

Hailand continued to drive and before I knew It, we pulled up at my house.

Hailand and I sat In a complete silence.

"Look, I'm just trying to help." Hailand said.

"I know and I'm sorry." I said feeling guilty.

"Hey, all Is good. I know, It hurts." Hailand said.

Hailand pulled me In a quick hug and I got out.

I walked Into my house and to the kitchen. I looked at the fridge to see a yellow sticky note. I walked over to the fridge, grabbed the sticky note, and got the milk out. I walked to the pantry and got out my favorite cereal, coco flakes. They were so good. The chocolatey goodness. I fixed a bowl, and read the sticky note.

Elly,
I went over to Kates house If you need me. Come over If you want.

I put the sticky note on the table and continued to eat the goodness.

I grabbed my camera and put on my Nike tennis shoes. I walked out of the house, with my blanket In hand and walked onto the road. I laid the blanket out and sat down. Since It was 12:30AM and well, everyone was asleep I decided to come and takes midnight pictures. Tonight was the perfect night too, because It was a full moon. I crouched down Into a squatting position and turned my camera on. I tilted the camera and zoomed In a bit. Once I got the perfect shot, with the moon and the bright stars, I snapped the picture. I turned around and decided to get a picture of the road. I zoomed In a lot and snapped the picture. I looked around because I felt a bit uneasy. I looked at the window beside mine and noticed the light was on. The room was obviouslys a guys room. It was a dark blue, almost a navy type blue. Clothes were lightly scattered on the floor, and there were football and baseball posters on the walls. I seen a figure open the window, and I squatted down quickly. I hid behind the curtain of darkness, that casted on the side of my house. I watched the guy, and he jumped out of the window. A gasp left my lips, and I heard shuffling. Once the guy disappeared I walked out of my little hiding spot. I walked back to the road and flashed a few pictures of the stars. I laid down on the blanket and watched the stars. Before I knew It, my eyes got heavy. I heard running, wait no... Stomping.
I jumped up to my feet and looked out In the distance. I seen an outline of a figure, standing there watching me. My stomach began to churn and I snatched my stuff up. I ran to my house, and I opened the front door. I walked Inside and cracked the door. I peaked out, and seen the guy take out something from his pocket. Before I knew It a light appeared. I looked at the person Intently and when the light hit his face, I couldn't tell who It was. I decided to just let It go, and I closed the door, locking It. I quietly walked upstairs, to my bedroom. I closed my bedroom door and took my shoes off. I put the blanket and my camera In the corner of my room and crashed on my bed.
