Do you have it in you?


Day 12.


"Mike..." Tony begin after he showed his identification to the officer to enter the base.

"Tony..." i mimicked. Earning an unamused look from Tony.

"Promise me that you wont be the cause of any confrontational event"

I laugh under my breathe before saying "These hoes aren't loyal" i sang under my breathe causing Tony erupt in laughter. "No but seriously, promise?" He re-enforced the question. "I cant promise anything" i said before leaning over to Tony and kissing his cheek causing a fire to spread on his face. The car came to a stop, signalling me its time i get out of the car; i did so but before i could officially free my body from the vehicle Tony gave me a warning look. I just chuckled lightly in response.

As i stood next to Sergeant Fowler i looked at the young faces that were awaiting a pep talk from the "legend" or also known as Michael Fuentes. They looked scared but proud of them selves for joining. If i ever met any of them at a younger age i would've warned them about everything. But sometimes i wonder if everything thats happened to me...was just because i was an easy blame for my father.

I didnt much time to dwell on my thoughts, as for Sergeant Fowler had gave introduced me-handing me the mic he whispered "Don't ruin me". As soon as the words escaped his mouth i was reminded about the plan. I mumbled a 'mhm'

"As some of you all may know i am Michael C. Fuentes..."

"Yes, sir" they replied.

"...I'm here to talk to about my life on the military, exports, things the military will do and ( i locked eyes with Sergeant Fowler whilst speaking: ) won't do"

"Lets start with the things the military won't do..."

"Watch your self" i heard Sergeant sat but i just rolled my eyes.

"They will blame you for anything and everything if a mission has gone bad or someone was killed, they try to keep you locked up in a house so you wont be able to protest or share your thoughts with outsiders. They'll give you false respect so you fill love but they are terrible actors/actresses... Now on to my life..." i walked away from Sergeant.

"I was told to tell you the good things and make it exciting...but no. You would think im living the life right?"

"Yes, sir"

"Well, I'm not. Im living at home with my house nurse that cares for me more than my own family. See, my family blames me for the death of my father..."

I looked out into the rows of soldiers seeing faces that consisted of thought, sympathy, and confusion.

"I haven't spoken to my mother since technically my last export-My brother:since the day i came home, then after that nothing"

I scanned the crowd one more time until my eyes landed on a familiar face that i prayed to never see in this crowd...
