SJ was in a deep sleep. Captain James carries her to an empty tent as Georgie was sleeping in his, she stirred slightly so he sang softly to her.
(All credit for song goes to Brandon Nevarez- Love in disguise// I don't own it)
'She was falling asleep,
With her head in the clouds,
And when she wakes up nobody's around.
She was living a dream
And making it hers
And every hurt, every pain
she stayed strong every day,
She made mistakes
She would close her eyes
And say if that's what it takes to be a lover in disguise.
She was wondering if her dream would last,
And if it did would it change her past
She was looking for love in every place
And didn't know that her heart would ache
But she finally found her place'
Stroked her head "goodnight my darling" and with that he walked out of her tent his phone rang it was Molly.
Mols- Charlie? Oh my goodness i heard what happened to Elvis is Georgie okay?!
Charlie- well I wouldn't say she's okay, she's safe, and she'll get past the pain.
Mols- and SJ hows she doing?
Charlie- not great, Elvis and Georgie has just got re engaged before he was killed
Mols- oh god, well I've sent SJ a letter with the new SAS on call, I think he arrived tonight.
Charlie- yes he did, the letter is in SJ's tent
Mols- so hows she holding up
Charlie- hard to say Elvis's dog tags haven't left her neck though
Mols- poor kid, how are you holding up Charlie?
Charlie- me? I'm fine.
Mols- Charlie be honest he was your best mate
Charlie- okay I'm an emotional wreck. But I need to stay strong for Georgie and SJ they need me
Mols- your incredible Captain James you know that
Charlie- Ditto
Mols- tell SJ I love her.
Charlie- will do mols see you soon, love you
Mols- ditto
It was 6 am and SJ saw a letter above her head next to her water it was in molly's hand writing she ripped it open and read it.
'My darling SJ,
There's something you need to know, something important. That something is that you are beautiful and you are loved, and that me your mum and uncle Charlie all love you dearly, and so did your dad. And you inspire us all every day. I know you think your dads death is all your fault, but you need to know your perfect and the world would be lost without you. I'm not trying talk you out of these sad feelings, you have a right to be comforted by them. These feelings are yours and belong to you. I'm a normal person like you that has been through pain and has suffered. You are not are not a bad person or weak or flawed you are you, and it just so happens that you are dealing with a lot right now. And that's not something to be ashamed of.you are strong, stronger than you give yourself credit for. You deserve greatness and I am so proud of you for getting this far, you are amazing and amazing at just being you. Keep fighting Darlin, this too will pass.
I love lots and lots like jelly tots
Aunty Mols x'
SJ hugged the letter, then fell asleep again , she felt slightly calmer, slightly safer and slightly more alive.
