The Sun Will Always Rise CHAPTER 7. DAYS PAST
CHAPTER 7. DAYS PAST
After collecting what was left of the supplies we needed I stored them outside the patrol hut, when I entered everyone was talking about how things were before they became soldiers, before the infection.
I sat down and everyone went quiet, Sam nudged look and whispered "ask him." To which look gathered himself and spat the question out "did you have anyone, yano before Matthew???", "you mean family or partner?" I inquired, "Both!" he said, so I began
"well before Matthew, after my first term in the army I was 21, we were engaged, her name was Samantha she was a panther, smoking hot, but anyway we got engaged before my first time, we were quite young but it didn't matter we loved each other, she wrote me emails everyday so on and so forth. But when I came home I was told my flight was delayed so I phoned her and told her id be a day late, turns out the flight wasn't delayed but I didn't have time to tell her. When I got back to our apartment I heard screams coming from inside. I busted in the door to find her having sex with my best friend, I lent him my fucking car (ford mustang, classic) and I come back and the bastard is fucking my wife. In a fit of rage I dragged him of her and just started punching him, back then I was a lot more built than I am now so I did some damage, she stood there screaming for me to stop, but I didn't I couldn't I dragged him outside bleeding and bruised, walked back into the apartment and lifted my ex-fiancée and dropped her out side with her new found, half dead lover said fuck off and slammed the door in that bitchs face!"
I heard gasps from around the room then Luke said "what about your family?"
"Well..." I began "that's a different story. I was in university on a military contract learning to become a history teacher sadly the only place that did this was the university of Liverpool, I was nearly finished my course, and my parents and entire family wanted to come over for my 20th birthday party, they came over on the 9/2/20." "was that not the day of the attacks on Britain!" john rudely interrupted "yes."I replied "I didn't know but they stayed in my apartment on the 58th floor and set up a surprise party, as I was walking back from university I saw an incredibly low flying plane, a military plane, it flew straight into my apartment block, being one of the tallest buildings in the city, my phone rang , it was a video call from my apartment. I was greeted by the concerned faces of my entire family asking me what was going on, if I was okay, and I just stuttered and looked at the flaming city, speechless. Once everyone had realised what happened the began to say their farewells, wishing me a happy birthday and telling me along with each other that there loved and will be missed. The last people who talked to me were my parents, hand in hand they said , "this is the way it had to be, from the day you were born, we love and good luck!" I heard a second explosion and the signal cut out...I'm sorry I'll be back in a minute!"
Everyone in the room was shocked and silent as I walked outside to get some fresh air, the moment the door closed behind me I threw up the slouched against the wall and slid to the ground, my paw ran down my face as I attempted to contain my emotions. I heard the door open, it was Kyle, he threw himself down beside me in the sand, it was all he could do to make me feel better and I turned to him and said "too much too soon." Spitting out the remnants of vomit/ blood from my mouth, took a deep breath in and sighed saying " a storms coming.".
