Kennedy
I stayed away.
Even though it crushed me.
Because that's what he wanted.
I distanced myself from the man I love.
I moved on, or so I told the world.
Went through the motions, and smiled when I wanted to cry.
Then chaos flashes into my life, destroying everything in its path.
It's time to face facts.
Lincoln Hayes is the only one I trust.
The only one who keeps the nightmares at bay.
Linc
I love her.
Thoughts of her came with every bullet that flew past my head overseas.
Every night, I dream about her and what we could have had.
She's the only reason I came home.
The reason I stay, even though the very sight of her is torture.
After my brother died in my arms, everything changed.
I'm damaged. Broken.
She deserves so much more than I could ever be.
I'll forever want the life I can never have.
That doesn't mean that I won't watch her six.
Boots on the ground, active and ready.
I'll take out any threat she faces.
No matter the cost... because I'm not strong enough to lose her again.
