Chapter 1:
"Where are you?" Jessica Feight said to herself as she stared into the darkness that was the backyard of her home. The beautiful woman's honey blonde hair was a mess. She looked worried as she could possibly be. Tears filled her eyes.
On the table in front of her, next to steaming coffee was a picture of William and herself. They were in a field of sunflowers. Both looked just so damn happy to be together.
Jessica eyed that picture, remembering the good times. She remembered the times before Williams many deployments. She remembered just how full of life he was back then. He was strong willed and protective even after he'd joined the Marines. Of course that was before he'd spent so long in active war zones.
She'd been sitting in that kitchen chair for days. She hadn't gotten any real sleep in weeks. She was far too worried about him. He'd disappeared in the middle of the night after one of his episodes. She didn't know if her love was alive or dead. She feared the worst.
Friends and family came to visit often. They wanted her to move on but she couldn't. She loved him with all her heart.
She walked to the window and stared out of it into the night. "Where are you?" She said as more tears filled her eyes.
"Why couldn't you just get the help you needed? You weren't in this alone." She whispered.
Her phone rang loudly. She rushed over to pick it up, thinking that it may be her husband. He'd never called before, but this could be it. She wiped the tears from her face.
"Hello?" She answered.
The voice on the other end of the line was not Wills voice. It was her mother. She'd called four times that day to check on her daughter.
"Up late again?" Jessica's mother asked softly. Jessica replied with a sigh. "What if he comes home tonight? I want to be awake." Jessica replied.
Jessica's mother understood. Jessica's father was also a military man. Her mother often stayed up late at night wondering where he was and if her husband was ok.
"This isn't healthy, Jess. I know you want to be up if he comes home, but you need to sleep. And you need to eat. I'm bringing groceries over in the morning. I know you haven't been eating regularly." Her mother told her.
"Ok. I'll try to get some sleep. See you in the morning." Jessica said. "I love you." Her mother replied as Jessica hung up the phone.
