Take the long way home(IE/WF)

From Create Your Own Story

"Okay lets go." He says before heading down the right hand path.

"Wait G, that's not the quickest way home."

"Maybe not but I guarantee this way we'll have more fun."

"What about Reggie and Carl I thought we were going to, you know."

"Reggie and Carl they told you their names, mine to I suppose."

"Yes, I didn't want to be calling you Gorilla, Horse and Bull around Joe, and don't panic we know to call you G and not Gordon."

"What else have they been telling you, our nights on the streets or days in the army?" You notice the sudden hard edge to his voice.

"No just your names, and why are you so angry all of a sudden?"

"I just hate the way we got treated especially Bull, he picked up those scars when a roadside bomb went off he was far enough away from the main blast but took some shrapnel, me and Reggie thought he was dead when he went down. When we all left we got back home and couldn't get no job or find a decent place to live, so you end up doing things you're not proud off and thinking about it makes you angry."

He finishes what he had to say and pauses for a deep breath, you don't no what to say so you step towards him and hold him gently resting your head on his chest. "Does it feel better to get that off your chest?"

"Some, strange how it works like that."

"Well is unfair and I will admit that it's more unfair to some than others, I mean my husband dies doing his job but he left me and Joe with a roof over our heads and enough money so we wouldn't have any financial worries. Now I can't do anything about your unfair treatment, but you have a place to stay now and finding work is a whole lot easier with a permanent address until then I'll provide everything we agreed to last night as long as you keep to your side of the bargain."
