Chapter two has come a lot sooner than I expected. Positive feedback; Kommentare are greatly appreciated. Peace, Love, and Sneaks.

Going over to Justine’s has become a Mehr frequent thing.

We’d talk for hours about unimportant things, like what would it be like to be someone else for a day? How would Du react if Du found out a celeb lived a couple blocks away from you? Mehr recently I talked her into trying out for the cheerleading squad, it took a lot of persuading, but I finally got her to give in. No matter what though, no matter what the topic is, I always find myself looking up at his picture and thinking to myself ‘I wonder what he’s like in person’ ‘will he be any different once he gets back from the war’ ‘will he make it back from the war’ stuff I really shouldn’t be worried about since Justine only told me a few things about him.

“Looking at him again?” Justine asked while following my gaze

I look at her like she’s crazy until I realize what she’s talking about “Oh yea, sorry…you were saying?”

“Ha-ha, want to see Mehr pictures of him?”

“Yes, yes, yes” I squealed excitedly.

I’m not sure what is going on but whenever I think about him I get giddy and excited, I think I’m majorly crushed out on this boy and I’ve never even met him yet! Justine just pulled out the picture album and I was getting impatient so I playfully grabbed it from her and we shared a laugh before I opened it up and began to flip through it.

“That’s him on his first trip to Iraq” She sagte as she was pointing to a picture.

“He seems so happy in that picture, how can anyone be so happy while being over there?” I asked in amazement.

She laughed “They get breaks, Brooke. Where they get to hang out with Friends and do what they want, it’s not getting shot at 24/7, how do Du think he has time to call me?”

“Oh, I never thought of that, in the Filme it seems like there is some kind of battle going on all the time” I let out a sigh of relief “I wouldn’t know what to do if I had to be over there in 100 degree weather getting shot at all the time so to know that it’s only sometimes and they get a break is a relief to me.”

“Same here” she points to another picture “Oh, here is where we went to cedar point a couple weeks before he graduated” she points to another “And here he is at his graduation party, he was so trashed, it was hilarious”

I couldn’t help but smile at how content she seemed talking about him. If I had a family member over there I’d be worried all the time and I’m not sure I’d ever keep a smile on my face.

“Does he have a girlfriend?” I ask while flipping through some Mehr pages.

I heard a voice say “no, I don’t”

To be quite honest it scared the fuck out of me and I had no idea where it was coming from until I noticed that J had grabbed her laptop and had a video chat up, with none other than Lucas Scott, the guy I’ve been having fantasies about the past couple of nights. The background in the cam looked like desert with a blazing hot sun and hummers out the ying yang and he was wearing his army hat with a tan hemd, shirt and I’m guessing camo pants along with G.I. Joe type boots oder something.

“Hey, I’m Brooke, the one Du talked to for like a teilt, split Sekunde last week on the phone” I say, a little Mehr cheery than I expected.

“I’m Lucas, the one Du also talked to for a teilt, split Sekunde last week on the phone” He says with a smirk.

“Justine has told me some about you. How is it over there?”

“Oh no, all good things I’m hoping.” He starts before Justine cuts in

“Of course good things...maybe”

“Better be good things oder you’re so in for it when I get home, anyway, it’s okay over here, trying to avoid getting shot. Everyday kind of thing, story of my life; How are things on your end?” he says with sadness clouding his eyes.

I’m surprised that I’ve picked up on all these small things he does. He has a smirk-like-smile, sadness clouds the happiness in his eyes when talking about what it’s like over there, he’s constantly looking over his shoulder to make sure he doesn’t have to get his gun ready just to survive, he squints when he’s thinking, his eyes are a different shade of blue depending on his mood, and the Liste goes on.

Since it’s the weekend we just decided I could stay at Justine’s instead of going Home and then we could hang out the Weiter Tag since that’d be the plan anyway, good thing we decided this though since I’ve been talking to Lucas for like 3 hours now. J crashed out on me earlier and I had nothing to do so I just continued to talk to Lucas.

We talked about how hard it was for him to help his mom out after his dad died. We talked about what he expects from life and his Ansichten on relationships. He told me stories about he was younger. He asked how my senior Jahr was going and what I wanted to do with my life after high school.

I’ve never had such a serious conversation with a guy without it being awkward oder without me getting bored of him and telling him he just needs to go but yet with Lucas it seemed so comfortable and I didn’t have to impress him and I didn’t have to be anyone but myself. It made me learn about myself if we get technical. It taught me that not all guys are the same and I don’t have to sleep with them to get their attention. Although I do admit that I tried to use my sex appeal against him right after Justine fell asleep, I’m physically attracted to him, could Du blame me? I mean really?

“I have to get off of here” he sagte “But I want to talk to Du again, soon”

I smiled a lazy smile and sagte “I want to talk to Du again too, night”

“Night” he sagte right before logging off

I laid down in bett and curled up in the covers but falling asleep with a huge smile on my face.

It’s going to be a good year.
