Missing in Action

20 Questions

The ride was two hours long. It was filled with a games of twenty questions.

"Favorite moment in the military?"

"Leaving." He stiffened.

"Least favorite?"

"Leaving you." He tensed again; new topic.

"What about you?" He asked, looking over to me in the dark leather passenger seat of his car.

"What about me?" I raised my eyebrow, looking back over to him. His curls were messy, probably from being in bed. I bite my lip harshly at the thought. I missed him. Sex made me realize that even more. I've always missed Harry, but being with him that way made me realize how much more I missed him, loved him.

I do love him. I've always loved him and he's known that. I know he loves me too. He's proven that and I won't be able to deny it, which scares me.

"Audrey?" He smiled, taking me out of my thoughts.

"Hmm?" I straightened in the seat, letting go of my lip.

"What spectacular events has happened to you since I've been... away?" He struggled finding the right words.

"Not much..." I shrugged. Hell, a lot has happened, but Harry doesn't need that reminder. I started a tally in my head.

1. Car accident
2. Sean
3. Harry MIA
4. My mom

"Audrey?" He laughed, "You really zone out, you know that?"

"Yeah, I guess I do." I chewed on my lip. 20 minutes till Sean's apartment. We were making pretty good time, but I was still nervous. What if he didn't go to work today? What if he came home early?

"Hey, it's going to be fine. Don't worry about it." He smiled, kissing the back of my hand.

I gave him a small smile back, looking out the window.

"But I do have to talk to you. It's nothing important." I could feel him tense. This wasn't going to be an upbeat talk.

"I got a letter a couple of days ago from, well, the US. I'm going to have to go to court, you know since I left and lots of paperwork will need to be filled out and what not. I just didn't want you nervous if you heard or saw anything."

"But like nothing's going to happen right?" I tried to let the information process through my head. What did this mean?

"Well, yeah and no. Nothing bad. When I left, I was quiet about it, but I did it formally. There's still a lot I have to go through though." He sighed, relaxing.

"Okay." I furrowed my eyebrows together, thinking about all of this. I'm not sure exactly what this meant. Harry busy in court? I shouldn't have to worry. Breathe.

"Where are we?" He questioned, looking around.

"Turn down 53rd, then make a right on Bryant." I stared at the city as we passed by all the taxis and people on the sidewalks and cross paths.

"So you really moved down here?" He stared incredibly through the windshield, biting his lip. "That's incredible, Audrey. I'm happy for you."

"I'm done down here. I'll miss it, but right now I don't think my mom will ever let me leave again." I laughed, as he turned. He frowned slightly, before parking on the road in front of my, no, Sean's apartment.

"This is it."
