Even If It Takes Forever
It has been just another great and rather emotionally draining battle, and the only comfort I sought was the voice of the woman that I dearly love. But then…
"There is something that I need to tell you, soldier."
"What is wrong, boo?"
I hear her go silent for a few minutes that are too uncomfortably long, and I immediately know that something has happened.
"Fuck, boo. Is it the baby?"
"No soldier, the baby is fine. I… Well, I met someone, a guy; I met him here on base."
"A guy? So you made friends with a guy on base?"
"Yes, I bumped into him when I went shopping. And, we have been out on lunch twice now."
"Okay, and?"
"Well, he has sort of been over to our place once."
"What the fuck is the man doing at our house, Isabella?"
"He is a friend, Clayton."
"Well, you are heading somewhere, so just get to your point."
"Soldier, I don't know what happened, but he, well, we…we kis

The Marine Next Door Final Goodbyes
Never did I think that Isabella shall treat me in such a way. My temper so wants to boil out of control.

I cannot believe the words that are coming from her mouth.Now let us take this into perspective, I have had my fair share of my own lies. And yes, it might have caused a rather trying time in our relationship, but nothing justifies what she has done.This stings my heart beyond belief, being rejected by the woman you love. She shall not see my tears; she shall not have the satisfaction of seeing me break down. Yes, I have done this so many times, but god, this hurts hard. It cuts deeper than a thousand knives.

Never in all my years did I once foresee that I shall ever hurt so much.My heart is shat
The Marine Next Door Fool For Being In Love
…Isabella POV…Clayton has just ended our relationship for what I believe will be the final time. Yes, I know that I fully deserve it.The thing is that things just happened and it was truly not intended at all. Maybe, yes, I am lonely and maybe yes, well perhaps not, for there is a rather big secret that I have been keeping from Clayton, and even if I did not end up being with James, I would still have been ripped away from him by the lies, the secrets that I hold.So yes, I fully understand that he is hurting and that he is angry with me and right now even angry at the world. And even more, do I understand that he will never take me back; I think that this time I might have just gone and push him too far. Then again, given him having to do the same, I would react in the very same way.It was not James and my intention; none of us thought that things would have developed from a friendship into something more. I guess we should have known fr
The Marine Next Door Mission With A Clogged Mind
I need to make a decision as I leave this tent today. I can either hurt and allow myself to be even less of a man than I already am, or I can stand up for my heart and believe in what I know is right. My choice… I will walk out of this tent today a new man, a man that does not need a woman like Isabella in my life.She has hurt me for far too many times, and for far too many times, I have given her the control and looked the other way. That control ends here today. I know deep in my heart that the final hurt is not over. She wants to talk about something, and I know that this time whatever comes out of that mouth is going to be the biggest pain of them all. The only comfort that I can take away from this doomed relationship is my child, I might not have been able to save our relationship, but the best that can come from this is me being a father.So, after taking several moments to clear my head and convincing myself that this is indeed for the best, I pick my h
The Marine Next Door One's Loss... Another's Gain
There is a dead darkness that settles over my heart as I hear the echo of a voice come from behind me.I have let my guard down for a second; for a second, I let my pain get the better of me. One moment of weakness will be my downfall. I knew that I should not have come on this mission. There is a war raging out there, but there is an even bigger war raging in my heart. I cannot fight both, and I was foolish to think that I could.So as I hear the rumble of a voice come from behind me, I have only one thing to do, and that is turn around and face what will be my end today. And it is with slow agony that I do so. Each little scuffle my feet make, I prepare myself for what awaits me. Will it be a gun to my head, or will it be a knife to the chest. Whichever way, I truly do not think that any pain can be worse than the one that I am already feeling deep within my soul.But I am a Marine, and right now, I am a Marine acting like a coward. I am giving up before I hav
The Marine Next Door A Special Place In My Heart
As I stand in the quiet corners of my tent, I dread to make this call to Isabella. Yes, what was our love lay completely in tatters, and in a way, I know that I can make peace with that. The only thing that gives me comfort in all this pain is the little one that is growing in her belly.It kills me not to be there during this time when every experience is new. When there is a miracle growing, and I cannot be part of that journey every day. What kills me even more is having to think that I might not ever get the chance to be there. Yes, I know that she will never do such a thing to me, but my heart still worries, and it worries even now more than ever, knowing that there is something that she needs to tell me.I can, in all honesty, only guess that it has to do with the baby, for what else can she possibly do herself to destroy me. So even though I am so furious at her still, I gather all the strength I have left and dial her number once more.It takes me a very
The Marine Next Door My Perfect Mess
Four times…Four times it took me to stop myself from sending Isabella a message.I cannot stop thinking about what she must be going through. My damn heart bleeds so much for her.But what makes me bleed even more is knowing that he is there; he is holding her the way that I am supposed to be holding her.Why did things turn into such a fucking mess?Maybe just once.Maybe if I just speak to her once, then I will feel better.Maybe just once.So for the fifth time, as little as in four hours, I pull my cellphone from my pocket. I look over the camp that is still, and without causing much of a notice, I walk to the very tree where I feel I can just be myself and let my heart go.As I sit down, I play all the reasons in my head why I should not be doing this. What if James is with her? What if she does not want to speak to me?I just want to know if she is okay.So I swipe up and find her number. In n
The Marine Next Door Pandora's Box
It has been three weeks since things between Isabella and me have fallen apart. I have come, in my own weird way, to accept that it has come to a spectacular end. I have on the occasion, and might I say too many, but I have had the desire to phone her. I find myself with my phone in hand near sending her a message quite often. But between Galland and Cayley, I have managed to come to a point where I can say that I am moving on, slowly but at a certain pace.What I have also done is not been out on a mission with the squad either. I pose a bigger risk at getting myself, and even far worse, one of my men killed with my mind that just lacked being there.It is early morning; the camp is still dead silent, with only but a few Marines wandering around. I have come to the only place where I can breathe and free my mind. My haven, the tree on the far side of the camp. The light does not reach here, and it is eerily quiet. Only with a few bugs buzzing and the clear, beautiful
The Marine Next Door One Hot Mission
I would love to believe that I am playing with fire, but then I need to remind myself that Isabella is not present in my life anymore. Yes, it does still bring a sting to my heart, but it also makes my heart feel at ease that I am allowed to feel something for Caylee. What? I do not know.Some would say it is rebound, and others say it is lust. For most at camp, it is something to tease the Lieutenant over. Whichever it is, I simply cannot get enough of her. When I think of her, the feeling I do feel is…my heart hurts, but it hurts in a good way. Have I opened that box completely?Not yet…but god do I wish I could.We have kept whatever it is that is developing between us a rather great secret; in a way, I am back to keeping secrets again, but this, well, this is one that I enjoy keeping. I know that our relationship, well, if it is at that stage yet, but I know that it shall come out sooner or later.Now I am not concerned about the boys he
