His Promise Land

When my best friend joined the army, I felt like my soul was ripped away from me. He had always dreamed of going into the army, to follow his father footsteps. To prove himself. And I knew that, but still, it didn't stop the ache, the loneliness I felt without him being near me, we were always together, joined at the hip since we were five. Imagine being separated for two years? I almost went crazy went he said he would be leaving after his birthday. But now he's back, and I expect him to fulfill his promise. If he didn't? Well... I will go tiger bite on his ass. I promise you that.

Jace's POV

My body was racked with sobs, I didn't know how much time have passed but by the time I was done, Ashley was halfway on my lap, hand rubbing the back of my neck as I finished crying on her shoulder.

I sniffled.

I felt her smile. Are you done?

I nodded against her shoulder. I loosened my arms around her waist and she stood up, staring at my grandfather with a smile. I felt my eyes were really swollen since my vision really blurry, everything felt sticky.

"Would you mind if I played something?” She gestured to the grand piano with her arm, elegance etched in every gesture.

She always thought of herself as a clumsy potato but I could see her for she really was.

When she wasn't unconscious of herself, she shined the brightest. Like now, as she offered solace and closure for the both of us.
