"Please don't leave, I will have no one." I said to my older brother James as I was in tears since he was leaving for the Army that night. It wasn't even his idea it was my mother's idea to ship him off into World War Three. The whole reason this war started was because Korea (since 2020 they became one again) was threatening to attack the United states and kill everyone here. That's when the government found out about all of it and they decided they didn't want to wait for them to attack us so they brought the war too them. The way it turned into the entire war fighting was because when we declared war on Korea a lot of the other countries were already fighting and just picked sides. The only reason i'm not being shipped off with my brother is because I am not 18 but as soon as i turn 18 i will be forced to join my brother... But my birthday isn't for another month so i get too stay at home wait worry.
Right before my brother walked out the door I got down on my hands and knees and begged my mom to let him stay but all she said was "sorry jasmine but he has to go and you know this."
My brother gave me a knowing glance as he was standing in the doorway then walked over and hugged me ¨hey I will be back I promise. I love your sis and i will be back before your know it.¨ as he finished he kissed my head then walked out the door. I quickly ran out after him hoping that i could possibly stop him if i talked too him. But by the time i got out their he was already jogging up the bus steps.
That was the last time i saw my older brother. Soon after he left he was shot by a person who he thought was his best friend but ended up being a traitor and died at the hospital soon after. That's what I was told anyways, it has been a month since all that happen though and life here has been well chaotic. My so called mother has become a tyrant and makes me clean and cook everything. The doctors say it's because she has a disease called bipolar depression along with being stressed so I guess between losing her husband and son within the last year it just started to get worse. They have medicine for it but she refuses to take it because she says "that it makes her feel weird." But if you ask me its because she afraid that if she does take it that she will forget about dad and James. but that hasn't stopped me from wanting to be the best person i can. my birthday is in the next few week so if this war isn't over by then, i will be shipped out and no im not worried about it either. i am ready to avenge my brothers death and i will track down the guy that killed him and make him regret it.
now before we get into the actual story i would like to tell you a little bit more about myself. my name is Jasmine i have short dirty brown hair with chocolate brown eyes. i look at lot like my dad who died recently. he died from what the doctors call a heart attack but i don't think that what actually happen. my mom isn't around much anymore not that she ever was to begin with but shes around even less now that they've died. i try to stay out of trouble but it always seems to find me. anyways back to the actual story now.
