Love and War, Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Polly just sat on the windowcill crying, how could Matt do this to her, put his life on the line. Did he not care about her? After all their time together Polly thought that she would have meant something to Matt, but she was obviously wrong, even Jess had known before her. "Bring bring." Went Pollys phone, signaling that she had a missed call, Polly knew it would be Matt, like it had been the past ten times. She couldn't stand to talk to him right now, even if it were only through a piece of metal. "Don't you think he deserves your answer?" Polly heard Jess' voice call from the kitchen door. "No he doesn't, why didn't you tell me Jess, was this just something you two laughed about?" Jess knew that Polly was mad at her as well, and Polly knew that Jess knew, Polly had wanted her to know. "It wasn't like that Polly. I found out by mistake and he told me not to tell you, he wanted you to find out from him, he does love you Polly." Polly looked down, just that morning the sky had been so happy and beautiful, but just like how Polly felt the sky was now grey and crying. "If he loved me then he would have told me, he is doing this to hurt me Jess, he knows that I will get upset if he leaves for war." Jess started to look a little irretated. "Polly grow up, it's not about you, Matt is doing this for his country, so that it can live in piece" Jess' face grew red with anger, she hated this side of Polly. " Yeah well Jess you just don't understand it..." "Oh I may not understand Polly, but what I do understand is that Matt is just trying to do something right and doesn't need you acting this way a few hours before he leaves." Pollys eyes grew wide with shoke. "Wait, he is leaving in a few hours..."
