Chapter 89: Chapter 89

Bernard!!!

Beck turned in surprise, he wasn't expecting Bernard to show up, in Jesse's quarter, they are not friends even though they are soldiers

Can I come in? Jesse open the door wide without a word to him, he inhale and exhale at the same time and walked slowly into Jesse's quarter.

Gen Beck, you are here?

Yes; do you need anything? Bernard shakes his head, staring at the bottle in Beck's hand. Here, you could have it. He stretch to Bernard, the young grabbed, Jesse couldn't believe that these two are going to turn his quarter into a bar. Stop staring, you should sit and drink. Beck beckon him, and Jesse signed and sit.

Why are you two the only ones here? Beck look at Jesse then turned back to Bernard.

Who do you expect to be here, apart from us? Jesse asked as he pulled the wine glass to his mouth.

May... Beck spurts the wine in his mouth at the mention of May's name.

Sorry, I am not here to see her, I am only asking because I know you three are always seen together. Bernard stuttered, trying to act calm

Oh! Beck said Jesse didn't buy the words of Bernard but he is too sad to banter. May, aunt called, she said that May, should return home and that since she is now twenty, she could run the family business that her late parents left behind. Bernard's face go sour, to think that, he thought May is his friend now, she didn't even bother to tell him, that she was leaving.

To where exactly? Bernard asked as he sip on the wine.

Whoa! Are you crushing on May? Jesse asked.

I am not, I was only wondering how she is going to survive away from the military. He gulped the wine again. She can, she is a strong girl, and she is more like a man. Jesse said.

Yes, she is a tomboy and a good friend. Beck added

And she is beautiful. Bernard added unknowingly, Jesse and Beck look at him, even though they are drunk they still know what they are doing, Bernard curved one side of his lip into a lovely smile, his thought wonders to her lips, how delicious she taste and come to think of it, no man had ever kissed her before.

Hey man, are you okay? Beck and Jesse asked.

I am fine, just thinking about some stupid stuff.

I didn't think that is stupid, you have that smile Beck had when he first kissed Alexia. Bernard's eyes bulge out, and he shakes his head to deny it, Beck wanted to laugh but he remembers that Jesse had just added his name to the conversation.

Are you teasing me? Beck ask.

Of cause not, it's just that you behave cheesy and stupid when you are in love. Jesse said Beck parted his lips to reprimand Jesse but Bernard beat him to it.

Which means you are behaving stupidly as well.

What? Jesse yelled while Bernard gestured with his lips to his phone that had the picture of Leah, Jesse hurry to get his phone, but Beck's eyes has already met with the picture, and he tittered harder.

Lovesick guys!!! Beck commented as he gulped more alcohol.

I never thought that I could fall in love with someone that I can't be with, maybe, she is back with her boyfriend. Jesse's heart was crushed when the word boyfriend flew out of his mouth, he had been down right from the moment Leah had taken the word boyfriend, in that section of hers, he wanted to forget her, act like they haven't met before but, he can't, each night, he stared at the room and couch that he always meets Leah when he returned from the military, he felt broken and the more he missed her.

You should be happy that you didn't get married to her before she left. Beck comment.

If I were you, I would have gotten her pregnant. Bernard said, Jesse hit his shoulder.

Bad guy, did you wish that was what happened between you and May? Jesse asked.

I wish I could wish for things, but it's dangerous for me to love anyone.

Why is that? Jesse asked.

It's because I found out that I am useless and I can't protect my loved ones.

Beck hit his shoulder seeing that the man's tears had dropped.

Here, you shouldn't sulk, everyone is useless at a point in time, instead of thinking of those times, you are useless, think of those times you are useful. Jesse applauded Beck.

Idiot, why are you clapping?

It's because I can't believe you are advising the man that hates you.

I don't hate him, I was only jealous of him. Bernard said, and that was the fact, he didn't hate Beck, he was only jealous and green with envy that Beck had everything he ever wish for. Beck was always first before him, he is practically Beck's shadow.

It's the same thing. Jesse said, Beck hit his head. Ouch!

It serves you right, jealousy and hatred can never be the same, jealousy could turn out to wish to be someone, which is admiration, harmless jealousy, it's when a person did hurt the one, he is jealous of, that when it becomes bad.

Whoa! Motivational speaker!!! Jesse said, Beck pushed him aside and grabbed Bernard's neck. From now on, you should tell your big brother, whoever makes you sad, so I make them cry.

Hey, you aren't older than me, we are both born in the same year.

But a different month, I came first, so you are my kid brother, and that dude is our baby brother. Jesse frown, Beck and Bernard are older than him by months. Stop frowning you will go old faster, and Leah might not like you anymore. Jesse tittered. Come on bro, cheers to brotherhood.

The three drank nonstop, they were too drunk to notice that one of their phone had been ringing nonstop. Jesse grabbed his guitar and played while Beck sing, and Bernard dance to the live sound of the guitar and Beck's alluring voice, no one will ever feel that these three soldiers had a good talent hidden inside of them

They were so wasted that they slept on the floor of Jesse's quarter, though at one point in time, Bernard had said he was leaving, he had only taken a few steps before he passed out on the floor by the door, thinking that he had gotten to his quarter and had slept off there without moving While Beck had hit his phone on the wall thinking that it's his card he had swipe on the door to open it.

And Jesse on the other hand, had opened the bathroom door, thinking it was his room, not knowing he is spending the night in his restroom.

The next morning, the sound of Jesse's phone awakened him, his phone is right in his pocket.

My phone. He said grabbing his hand to answer, only to see its field, Marshall. Field Marshall!!! Hearing Field Marshall, Beck jumped on his feet, and seeing Bernard on the mouth of the door, he hit him.

Wake up, it seems we are in trouble. Beck said as Bernard wipe his face, standing on his feet in a hurry. Jesse had already taken the call.

Yes sir!! That was the only word, he said, he end the call. You, where did you keep your phone?

My... His eyes bulge out, his phone is damaged and the other had so many missed calls. Alexia!!!

What is wrong? Bernard asked.

Alexia!!!

What happens to her? Jesse asked.
