BANG BANG BANG! Men falling everywhere, BANG! There's a friend, BANG, the only one who has your back, blood, god! So much blood! The picture of a battle field, when the war was won, blood, people, death, no matter where you looked. Friend's and loved one's life less, the rain falling, bombs exploding, How could this young man live though such a thing?! How could he have survived. But not for long, 5 masked men, gag and cover his eye's as they take the young man to an unknown location. The young man, was no longer safe. He was with the enemy now. What seemed the days later, and the blond fold came off, a blinding light in his eyes, keeping him from being able to see. The young man struggled and even screamed a little as he shot up sitting straight up in his bed. Finally awaking from his horrible flashback of a dream.
Like normal, he was covered in cold sweat, his nightmares woke him up yet again. Ever since his tore to Iraq, he has not been able to get much sleep. He is also a father of a young baby, so still no sleep with that. The young man, Angel rubbed his tear filled eyes, as he realized just what had awoken him, the stress from the dream, the flash of light he saw was kept in his eyes until he was rescued, buy the men whom survived the last deadly fight. With his deep tired old green eyes, the male, 23 years young, looked around his room, trying to come back to the present, and leave the past behind. His guarded eyes landed upon the clock. It was early, very early. Yet he knew if he was to fall back asleep, the dreams would only get that much more vivid. He already lived it once, he did not want to have to relive it in his sleep as well. He knew he would never be able to go back to bed. So he figured he could get some homework done, and wait for his daughter to awaken. AJ would/could always take a nap later. Not like he's not used to no sleep. It's been years since AJ has been able to get a full, good nights sleep. Yeah he has some med's for the sleeping thing But AJ just does not like what it does to him.
Angel shifted through his school work only to find it mostly finished, besides a paper or two which he knocked out in a hour. So to kill more time he looked through his closet, picking out something to wear. He did not have much of a selection, seeing as he usually wears scrubs. So he just picked out a pair of dark running shorts and a tight shirt, with the words "AN ARMY OF ONE" written across the chest. It was rather tight for his liking, but he would rather not wear scrubs, so this would do. Typical AJ. He usually just wears black scrubs, but no need to wear scrubs, if he is not working. He placed his outfit on his desk before walking out of his room and into the next room. He went into the corner of the smaller room stopping when the crib was within reach. AJ looked over the edge of the crib to see, Charlotte his 14 month old daughter, sleeping away.
After taking a shower, brushing his teeth and changing into the clothing he picked out minutes ago, he made his way back into the darken room. Angle kept the light off, not wanting to wake Charlotte. Angel started to pack a diaper bag, full of anything and everything Charlotte would need for the day, including a few books and some little toys. Minutes later and everything was packed and ready to go. He just needed to get his daughter ready. But before waking her up, Angle carried the diaper bag out to the stroller, he was gonna run with Charlotte. Going back inside he quickly jotted down some things he would need. Like more diapers, and baby food. He would go to the store after the park. So now all he needed was his daughter. But she still was sleeping away, so Aj had nothing more to do then sleep. So that's just what he did, tried to pass out on his living room sofa, the baby monitor still in his arms, as he caught up on the hours he missed. Okay so he only slept for about an hour before Charlotte woke him up, Running back upstairs to his little girls room, he stopped, just looking at his daughter, his most beautiful daughter, with the most beautiful eyes in the world.
Angel let a little chuckle out, she just made him so happy. Angel reached in the crib, and slowly lifted Charlotte out, and placed her upon the changing table to change her. Angel placed his daughter in a black onsie with a big pink letters that said. 'Hugs 25 cents! Kisses will cost you extra.' He then took the little blond hair blue eyed little girl down to the kitchen for some breakfast. Then into the stroller, strapped in safely. Angel hoped around to the front of the stroller and off they went. It was almost 10 by now. On the way Angel made a quick stop at Duckin Doughnuts to pick himself up a quick breakfast, which he ate on the way. Finally he reached the park. He always walked to the Park, ran around the park a few time's then walked back home. That's usually how AJ started the day. By the time AJ and Charlotte get home it's usually lunch, then Charlotte and AJ go down for a nap around 1. But the nap was far off. So with his i-pod on, Angel just started running, Charlotte 'reading' a book, in which she dropped, unknown to AJ.
((I had Charlotte drop the book, so you can pick it up, and give it back to AJ.))
