74 - Him or Me
I ran to a mirror on the wall and saw my face pretty worked over, and lips were bloody. I immediately held my burning stomach, realizing I shouldn’t have gotten up so quickly.
My shirt was ripped in several places and I had numerous cuts. It had to have been Hashem.
Whoever it was must’ve kicked me real good, likely had some broken ribs. I looked around for my bag … nowhere to be found.
I stuck my shard sock back in my pants. I heard yelling then POP POP POP POP!
Gunfire? Fuck!
I ran to the window, and I was still on the first floor thankfully. The window didn’t have any obvious locks but ye

Just when I was about to ask what all was going on and where Marcus had been the last few hours, I heard a door close and he walked in.“Ian and Luke are solid,” he said beaming.“Fuck, that’s great, really great,” Javi said.He turned to me, “we can’t all leave at the same time, it would draw too much attention. We’re the last three, now we just need a plan for us to get out.”"Honestly, I still think my plan is a good idea, it’s just a matter of getting someone with some money, that travels, where it won’t arouse suspicion that they are here,” Marcus said.“What’s your idea,” I said.

None of us slept, we were all just running on adrenaline at this point.The pilot on the plane was going to meet us and smuggle us on. Javi said the pilot, who was this businessman’s usual guy, was actually retired Air Force and happy to help us. Javi didn’t think it was fair that the pilot not know what he was getting into. I couldn’t believe the lengths people were going to, for us ... for total strangers and it kept bringing tears to my eyes.Marcus arranged for a van to take us to the airport and my heart was racing. Javi didn’t let go of my hand and he was making me hot and sweaty. We were on a dirt access road and it was pitch black, but I hoped that would work in our favor.I could see the plane, it was about a only about a quarter mile away. There was a van with the

I tried to figure out how to ask Javi to marry me while we were in Europe. I didn’t care if he put a rubber band on my finger, I was beyond in love with him and that was all I needed.There were sandwiches waiting for us on the second plane and we pretty much inhaled them. I also had an ice cold coke, and it was phenomenal. With a full belly and a hopeful mind, I fell asleep with my head in Javi’s lap.“Wake up baby, we made it,” Javi said whispering in my ear.I opened my eyes and looked out the window, the sun was coming up.“A new dawn, a new day,” I said.“Exactly why I don’t want to wait baby, I had Toby find a pastor on base, if you’ll s

After Fletch left I sat by myself on the couch for a few minutes, and tried to process what just happened. My head was spinning and I felt like I was going to throw up. I knew Javi would press me to know what we talked about, and I don’t know if I could tell him Fletch wanted to propose.Would he second guess himself?Would he always wonder in the back of his mind if that was who I really wanted?He was always so nuts whenever another guy was around, knowing that another man offered me a ring, whew that’s heavy shit. I was torn, but I also operated under the assumption I would likely never see Fletch again.In the end of my own pep talk, I decided not to tell him. I picked the rubberband up off the arm of the couch and wrapped it aroun
