Prologue

I haven't heard from Leslie in 3 and a half weeks now. I miss him so much and I try so hard not to worry, but its hard knowing he is over seas fighting and at any moment he could die.

I remember I told him this at the airport the day he was leaving. I pulled him aside a few minutes before he boarded his flight and said that I was so worried that he could die any second while we're here living our normal lives and thinking nothing is wrong. He just laughed when I told him this, and I got so frustrated and mad that he wasn't taking me seriously.

"Do you think this is a joke? Leslie you could DIE!" I complained to him and stamped my foot.

"Whoa calm down there Winnie. I know you will be worried, I will be too. And I know you are scared, even though I don't show it, so am I. Yes, where I'm going is dangerous, but I promise you, I will come back. I won't ever leave without saying goodbye. I promise. We are strong Winnie. Both of us. We can do this. I know we can because I can and you're my best friend and my baby sister, so I know you can too."

"Then don't say goodbye now. Please." I pleaded him. I didn't want to hear those words from his mouth yet. Not now.

He cracked a half smile and hugged me tight. I heard him sniffle like he was crying, I fought the best I could not too cry as well. Not in front of him.

"See you soon little sister."

"You too big brother."

He turned his back and headed to go tell our parents goodbye once more before he left to board his plane. That's when I let myself cry. I made sure he couldn't see me first and then I just dropped to the floor and wept.  My parents came to collect me as soon as they finished and we went on our way.

Author's Note

the prologue will be changed so please quit mentioning to me that i shouldn't have it like this. this is just being used to catch the reader. the book isnt even near finished so this is not even on my mind. please review my chapters but if you are going to complain about my style of writing or try to immediately make assumptions on the whole story when you have only read a few chapters then please keep your mouth shut and wait until the whole thing is finished to open it. thank you!

lol...people getting to ya about this prologue kid...? I like the writing here. Here at good old WC I approach long forms with trepidation. So much can go wrong. I really like your writing. You allow the facts to speak and that is the first rule in good writing. Lean and direct and factual whether the facts are fiction or not.

So ... ignore the pests and keep writing. I look forward to reading this entire story.
