It's 3:00 am, the bar next to base is rammed with people, chatter and laughter surrounds you but you sit there numb, the world around you muffled. You shoot back your 12th shot of the night, sighing as the familiar burn runs down your throat, this had been a reoccuring theme for the last 4 weeks, Keegan being declared M.I.A left you drowned in your thoughts and a bottle.

You don't flinch when you feel a pair of arms wrap around your waist, expecting it to be one of the many new recruits that have tried to hit on you since hearing of Keegan's dissapearance. Waves of dizziness rush over you as you hear his sweet voice "I've missed you princess"

You sigh as you grab the shot in front of you, whispering before you go to take it, "I wish one of these hallucinations would be real one of these days", you go to pour the shot down your throat as his hands grasp the shot as he places a gentle kiss to your cheek.

"I'm home sweetheart, I promised I would be".
