Before the mission, you told him one thing - ”I will always protect you, Soap.”

That’s the last thing you ever told him before he got killed. When the message got across the radio, you couldn’t hold it together. You couldn’t move. You couldn’t talk, you just stood there.

In the car ride back to base, you were quiet. Not a single word from you. You looked out the window, not bothering to look at anyone.

’I will always protect you, Soap.’ Those words echoed in your mind as tears fell.
