Both were silent for a long while, the 分钟 dragged 由 and Bobby swore he could see the entire scene playing across Husky's eyes, the same thing over and over again. A not so subtle cough brought him back to the living world, and he continued with his tale. "I woke up a couple days later, both Matt and Ethan were okay and alive, and I was damn lucky. In my act of bravery," he spat the word with such disdain and Bobby couldn't understand why. He thrown himself on an explosive device to save his men, if that wasn't bravery then what the hell was? "I managed to not even cover the IED, rather I was kinda 下一个 to it. My body still shielded the others, but I absorbed the full impact of the blast and about half of the shrapnel. I was lucky though, because my entire left side should have been blown off but it wasn't because the IED wasn't packed with as much explosive power as it should have, a fluke on the enemy's part I guess." He finished a wide, hideous smile spreading across his face. As though something about his story was hilarious, the humor was 迷失 on Bobby however, and he didn't like how Husky slipped back into his memories again. This man was so detached, Bobby couldn't help but feel like he was talking to nothing 更多 than an empty shell.
"We were all proud 你 know, it took a 分钟 to seep in but we were all proud. Even Gemma, she couldn't stop bragging about her boy, hell none of us could! We were so damn proud that 你 chose to go over there, to be a hero in that land of death." Bobby finally said. This statement did nothing but shock Husky, proud? How could they be proud? He didn't 加入 the Marines because he wanted to fight for his country, at least not entirely. He was running away, and that was seemed to be the only way to do it. To leave and hopefully die, so that he never would have to come back. That was nothing to be proud of.......that was just cowardice.
"We didn't understand.....why 你 left. Not at first anyway, not with 你 just having finished your prospectuses, but we got it, eventually. 你 didn't run away Husk." Husky couldn't help but be taken aback, it was like Bobby knew what was going on in his head, and he couldn't help but be pissed off 由 that. He turned away from Bobby, not able to look at him. "Hey! Logan!" Bobby grabbed his arm, jerking him, making him turn around. "You didn't run. 你 can think that all touch want, but people don't run away to a goddamn war! They don't run towards something that's worse. I get it, 你 didn't want this life, and 你 had already been to hell and back, and 你 shouldn't have to do it again for us. But 你 never ran, 你 did something 你 had to do, 你 weren't running from us, and 你 may have thought 你 were running from yourself, but in truth, 你 were running to find yourself."
He let go of Husky's arm, but held his gaze, kept their eyes locked knowing the boy couldn't look away then. "And all that didn't matter, the 分钟 你 stepped out onto that battlefield, because then its not about what 你 were, 或者 what 你 were doing before 你 stepped on foreign soil. No the 秒 you're there in the middle of it? That's when it becomes about which 你 are and who your 老友记 are, and 更多 importantly it becomes about protecting your brothers and staying alive." Bobby stared onto his eyes still, he could see confusion washing over them, fear as well, but also a glint, just a small spark of hope. Like he wasn't quite gone yet, and Bobby's little speech jade helped to bring him back.
Accomplishing his mission, Bobby stood, he gave Husky a firm shake of the shoulder before walking back to the clubhouse, leaving Husky alone under the stars. But he knew the kid would be fine, it would take time but he would be, and right now, it was time he got some damn sleep!

I will not be under your tyranny
Your cruel and oppressive force
Yes, maybe 你 should be my leader
But that doesn't mean I should follow 你 all the time
Do 你 know he's got 你 bound
Under ropes and chains of cruelty
Well, I don't wanna be a follower
If it means I have to be a killer
No, I'm not exactly kind-hearted
But that doesn't mean I have to kill, kill, kill
I don't wanna be just a senseless follower
I have a heart, I have a soul, so I don't follow you
I don't just wanna be a follower
So I don't give a fuck bout what 你 do, do, do
But I myself will not give in to the tyranny
So you'll watch me leave
No one's gonna stop me
Look, I'm walking out the doors of tyranny
And I'm not gonna be a senseless follower
Ever again in my life.
