PART 1 -- The Present
Stateside and Scared to Death
I'm sitting in a diner in the little town of Fort Montgomery, New York. I am not far from Danbury, Connecticut, where I grew up. My house is actually in Brookfield, but I knew the whole area well. I push around the stained, empty coffee cup. I nod for a refill which seems odd to me as I am used to just servicing myself at the base. I am wearing an Army surplus t-shirt, faded jeans, boots, and have my old Boston Bruins cap next to me. The waitress in her tight skirt smiles at me and disappears into the kitchen. I notice her tight ass wiggle. I smile and think, I wish.
The army would get in the way. I am a soldier. What the hell am I saying?
Who in their right mind would want a guy like me? Hell, I've been away from the States for over fourteen months not to mention Basic Training, then the wait, then the posting to Active Duty.
God, maybe close to eighteen months. Man.
I just don't know about committing to someone. I sort of fucked-up leaving Brookfield, Connecticut but I am getting ahead of myself.
I sigh. I am back from active duty. Oh, yeah, I already said that.
Right now, I feel a range of emotions. I was brought up to be a positive person, not an emotionless dumb fuck. Hell, in my job, it's all about getting the right solution to every situation.
I do not carry malice for my fellow humans. I have learned to protect them, to nurture them, and to serve them well. I didn't get into the Army with negative ideas. I got into the Army to make my dad proud, to make me something I wasn't in High School and to shape me as a person. I even said to the recruiting officer, I would not mind working towards being an officer.
So now.
God, where do I start?
My unit flew in three days ago, and we unloaded at Fort Bragg. We were all itching to go on leave, and taste civilian life again, get back with family and loved ones. I signed my paperwork for leave. Many of us did. We had chow and games and then lights out at our leisure. I was so tired I slept right up to 0500. Sarge came in and in his gruff manner told all to fuck off. It was music to our ears. So I signed out, rented a car, and took off.
I found myself in a gas station questioning my relationships as I filled up the red Toyota Corolla. Two weeks on leave. It seems surreal all this stunning greenery and busy lives buzzing past me. The dust, the heat, the cold, the rocks, the sweat of Afghanistan. Fourteen months of active duty, and now I am having a nervous fit, making my way home.
I flick through my new cellphone that is Army surplus. I remember my sister's number by heart. Should I ring it? Do I ring Mom's cell?
I call Mom.
Several buzzes. "Hello?"
"Hey, Mom, it's me. How are you?"
My Mom squeals. "Lars!"
A big thunk. A scratching sound. "Are you okay baby?"
"Yeah, Mom. Just got back from active duty."
"You Stateside?"
"Yes. I'm coming home. I am sorry I couldn't let you know in advance. We were in tight. Hard to get the news out."
"The Army needs way better ways to keep our families happy!"
"Seriously Mom I'll tell you all about it later. I am sorry. Okay. It's nice to hear your voice."
"Same. You sound sad, honey, how about Mama's chili?"
"Just tired. A Burger and your curly fries would be great."
"Coming right up. Luna is here, she has come down. I'll hand it over."
My sister. My Luna. Holy shit. It's been a long time. I can't talk to her. I haven't answered much of her letters. Shit. I hang up.
The phone buzzes seconds later. I stare at it. Shit oh, shit.
"Hello."
"Hey, dumbass, how are you? I am so glad you are back," Luna says through tears. I can hear how her throat is sticking, and she is sniffling. "You okay?"
I hold back my tears. Shit, this is hard.
"I am okay, Luna. Nice to hear your voice. Look I am in Fort Montgomery having a coffee and will be back in less than hour okay."
Sniffles. A laugh.
"We all can't wait."
I get the shakes. "We?"
"My girlfriend, mom, and me, stupid."
Dumbass me. Right. The last letter I had was over six months ago. Right, okay, her name is Kimberly. Shit oh shit.
"So how is Mom and um, Kim?"
"We are all great. Oh, Lars, I can't wait to see you, hurry up dumbass."
I laugh.
"Okay, leaving now."
"Hey, Lars."
"What?"
"Are you going to see Blair?"
Holy mother of something. She doesn't know we broke up. She doesn't know about Daisy or any of that stuff.
"I um, sure."
"Okay, cya soon."
I put the phone down and wipe tears from the side of my face. The waitress comes by and refills my water. She looks at my tattoo on my right forearm.
"Army boy, huh. I thought so. I know what's it's like. My brother is in the Navy, and my boyfriend is an Engineer."
"How do you cope, you know your boyfriend?"
"We get by. I miss him, heaps. He's on Active Duty right now."
"Where?"
"Afghanistan."
"That's where I was five days ago."
She sits down across from me. I notice she has deep brown eyes and they light up. "How bad is it?"
I take a sip of water. "The Engineers, hell all of us have good and bad days. I mean I'm in what they call a Stryker Team. It's a different world over there. It's not all about what the media keeps telling you. We do long hours. We interact with the local population, it's peacekeeping with occasional times where we meet insurgents. Keep in touch with him, that's important."
Stupid me over there, beating myself up over all the dumb things. I really kept thinking of one girl. One girl that blew my mind and put me into a state of otherworldliness. But I left. What bullshit could a girl go through to keep me as her man? Oh, listen to me. I should take on my own advice.
She gets up and nods. I notice there are tears in her eyes. I get up and put the change on the table. I give her a hug.
"Hey, it's okay. I'm Corporal Lars Kristov. I'm home for two weeks now. If you need to talk, let me know. I live over in Brookfield. I grab her pen and write down my number.
She kisses me on the cheek.
"I'm Jackie. Thanks, Lars. That means so much to me. I bet you can't wait to hug your girl!"
