Chapter 100 A Mission With A Clogged Mind

• I need to make a decision as I leave this tent today. I can either hurt and allow myself to be even less of a man than I already am, or I can stand up for my heart and believe in what I know is right. My choice… I will walk out of this tent today a new man, a man that does not need a woman like Isabella in my life.
• She has hurt me for far too many times and for far too many times I have given her the control and looked the other way. That control ends here today. I know deep in my heart that the final hurt is not over. She wants to talk about something, and I know that this time whatever comes out of that mouth is going to be the biggest pain of them all. The only comfort that I can take away from this doomed relationship is my child, I might not have been able to save our relationship, but the best that can come from this is me being a father.
• So, after taking several moments to clear my head, and convincing myself that this is indeed for the best, I pick my head up and make my way outside to the battle ops tent. I believe I have heard a voice, that believe me now, will bring me comfort. With what seems like a few hesitant strides for I know that the camp has unfortunately become aware of my minor meltdown, I make my way back to the tent with pride. And just as I expected, the face to the voice is indeed standing next to Lopez.
