Prologue

12th December 2019Luke Campton's lungs were burning whilst he struggled to get to his friend Evan Payne who was lying on his back in a pool of his own blood."Evan!" Luke called to him when he got to where Evan was lying.The tears filled his eyes when he checked his pulse and saw that he had no pulse. He was dead."No!" Luke screamed in agonizing pain.Evan had been Luke's friend since they were four. They were like brothers and when Luke had decided to join the army the previous year, Evan decided to join his friend.Luke had tried to convince him otherwise because Evan was not someone that should be fighting in the war. He was a peaceful soul, quiet and introverted. He didn't like to even get into arguments not to talk of fighting in a war. Now he was dead and Luke blamed himself for it.If he hadn't brought up the idea of going into the army then Evan wouldn't have even considered it. But it was no news to anyone that whatever Luke did,

Luke woke up panting with his body drenched in sweat. He'd had the same nightmare that he'd been having for over ten years every night.It always started with Luke and Evan being happy that they had been recruited into the army. Then the dinner that they'd had with both their families before they left. Then the whole image would turn to a warzone then he'd see plenty of dear bodies, most of them were people he knew some of them he didn't know. Then just beside him was the body of Evan laying in the pool of his own blood, then he'd hear the next bomb and very would go dark then he'd wake up.Even after ten years of being in the the safety of his home, Luke still felt like he was stilling fighting in the war. Only that this time the war was inside him.When he's come back from the war with his leg broken, he'd had to use a wheelchair for six months, then he'd had to use crotches for three months, then he switched to a cane for another Four months all the while doi

It was morning and Luke had just finished getting ready for work. Dressed in his blue jeans, brown tee Shirt, a bandana around his head to block the sweat from getting into his eyes and wore his work boots. He was looking forward to his normal, soul - sucking life till he went outside and was about to walk out the door and his Dad said, "Luke, don't forget that the new worker is coming over today. So be ready to meet her. Wear your fakest smile if you have to but don't scare her away." With a sweet smile on his face.Luke gave a loud groan and stormed out of the house, slamming the door behind him.Luke got to work immediately, not wanting to waste any minute of his precious alone time before he didn't have it anymore. ~•~It was two - thirty on the dot when Luke was shoeing the horse and he heard his Dad calling him from behind."Luke!" Leo yelled.Luke turned around. He spotted his Dad walking up to him with some girl be

Luke was up and early by 6:30am which was his normal waking up time. He expected Summer to be ready the same time that he was because he'd told her the time that he'd expected her to be ready.But when he got downstairs, Summer was not there. "Where's Summer?" He asked Lisa and Lewis who were the only ones in the kitchen."I think she's still up in her room." Lisa replied. "Can you go get her?" "Okay." Lisa left and Luke had to wait. If she wasn't down in five minutes, he'd start without her."I can't believe this. I told her to be ready." He said through gritted teeth."I'm sure she'll be down any minute. You have to be patient with her, she's never worked on a ranch before." "Then why did we hire her?" "Because she needed the job." Lewis responded softly. Before Luke could utter another word, Lisa was already coming down the stairs with Summer tailing behind her."Good
