Chapter 4

Sunday morning...

Sebastian was awoken by the sound of his phone. It was his superior reminding him it was time to head to base to check in and be ready to head back to Germany.

Sebastian looked down at the beautiful woman laying next to him. Who would've imagined he would find her and feel this way so soon. There was nothing he could do about it. He didn't want to leave, but he had to. He slowly got up to gather his belongings as she continued to sleep. Does he wake her to say goodbye or simply leave? He honestly didn't know. Thad would've kicked his ass and call him a wimp if he knew he didn't sleep with her. Blaine and Kurt would've beat him too if he HAD . He wanted her but he didn't want to be second choice either.

Sebastian wrote her a note including his contact info hoping she would keep in touch with him. Face it,Smythe, you're in love..

He looked at her sleeping, sighing, kissing her goodbye for now. Tears running down his face. He loved his job, but it was times like these that he cursed it as well. It's not fair as he walked to the elevator. Guess lonely doesn't want me to find love. He walked to registration and paid for the room for Rachel so that she didn't have to worry about anything. He waved goodbye and took a cab back to base. As he sat in the car, he turned his iPod on and a song came on that reminded him of just how alone he really was. He sang along to the song.

(Sebastian )

Why do I seem to be caught up inside a dream?
All my life, it's always been my shadow and me
Over my shoulder there's always a voice somewhere
Saying, I ever should try to set my heart free

I wish that love would come and take me in her arms
Show me what I've never known
Where I could hold someone and words like right and wrong
Just fade away like yesterday

Lonely won't leave me alone
Lonely won't leave me alone
Why, tell me why?
Won't even let me fall in love

Oh, everywhere I go
Always by my side
Won't even let me fall in love

I try and say, I love you but the words won't come through
When my eyes see all the tears and sad memories
Why can't I start out new and leave that old feeling, too
Far behind, I guess, that lonely needs company

Around each bend of road, I'm thinking that in time
There will be that rainbow's end
But when I follow love, self delusions I find
That it's only lonely and me again

Lonely won't leave me alone
Lonely won't leave me alone
Why, tell me why?
Lonely just keeps my heart out of touch

Oh, everywhere I go
Always by my side
Won't even let me fall in love

Lonely won't leave me alone
I wish that love would come
Lonely won't leave me alone
And take me home
Lonely, lonely won't let me fall in love

Lonely won't leave me alone
I wish that love would come
Lonely won't leave me alone
And take me home
Lonely, lonely won't let me fall in love

Lonely won't leave me alone
I wish that only
Lonely won't leave me alone
Love would come
Lonely, lonely won't let me fall in love

As the song came to the end, Sebastian was back at base. Checked in and then went to lay down on his bunk until it was time to leave back to Germany. He texted Rachel and told her he loved her by erased I before he could send it. Sebastian cried.

Meanwhile back at the hotel, Rachel woke up and noticed that Sebastian and his belongings were gone. She saw a note next to her bed. It read:

Rachel,

When you wake up, you may notice that I am gone. My superior called and I had to head back to base. I leave for Germany later tonight. I've left all of my contact information and hope that you will please keep in touch with me. I don't want to lose you.

I want you to know I am so glad to have met you. These last couple of days were the best. I hope it won't be the last time. I will try to come back and visit when I can. I don't know what it is but is it possible to fall so quickly?

I want you to know that you are so amazing and you WILL soon take Broadway by storm and as promised I will find someway to be there in the front row.

I have to go, but just know I have no regrets. I will think of you every second and hope you won't forget me.

Forever your soldier,

Sebastian

Rachel was in tears. She didn't get to say goodbye. She had to meet with her dads. So she got ready for checkout, gathered her belongings and wait in the lobby for her dads to pick her up.

As she walked to the desk to checkout, she was surprised to learn it had been taken care of. Sebastian.. She held back tears as she decided to take a selfie and sent to Sebastian's phone. She captioned it " just something to remember me by. See you soon, My Soldier, love Rachel"

Her dads arrived soon after and headed to her new home. She misses her Soldier already. Tears fell, and believes it could be possible to fall so hard, so soon. Someday...

Sebastian was on the plane to Germany and pulled his phone out to lol at the picture message from Rachel. "I'll always remember" he sent back with his selfie. He will see her again and make her HIS.. See you soon, Berry. I love you..he whispered to himself..

AN: The story is not finished at all. More to come. I just love their relationship in the making. Both have insecurities. Its not easy to love someone in the military. I myself went through this like Rachel which is where my inspiration to write this story came from. Hoping you're enjoying as well. Stay tuned more Smytheberry coming your way. Rate & Review..
