My Unit

Morgan Bond

“Ah.” I sighed under my breath as I knelt down on the ground and took in the air around me. I was tired and what I really needed, was a good night’s rest; which wasn’t going to happen today. I had some crazy bad dreams, ever since I found out me, alongside my friends, were being deployed to the war in Afghanistan.

The only real upsides I saw was that I was going with some of my closest friends. Everything else was just a downside. But of course helping to save the country is an overwhelming accomplishment, I wouldn’t feel that until we were one the flight back home.

I stood up and looked around, I had been so paranoid since the news, I haven’t been able to think straight. Sitting on the couch I choose to call, Skyler, the leader of the unit I was apart of.

*About Two Years Before*

“Run faster.” The general screamed as it was my turn to run the course; against what my body wanted I ran faster. Before I knew it, it was over and I knelt down, catching my breath. Today was the day we were picked for units, and with that my mind had been so preoccupied, I didn’t focus on Today’s running course.

“Lunch!” we all heard the general say.

“You ready?” One of the girls, Jasmine, said to me. I only knew her by name, and yet I still followed her and sat next to her, with the blonde boy that said, called Niall, repeatedly. A whole bunch of people filled in around, most of them I didn’t know. I just casually sat there, eating the camp’s terrible soup.

“Attention everyone!” said a male standing tall and straight. He was in charge when the general wasn’t around, but still no one listened to him.But today, everyone Shuster right away. “We’re gonna make this quick. Standing up here is a group people chosen as leaders and if they call your name, you will in that unit.”

“Yes sir.” Many people echoed after the man. Two leaders, I never heard of or seen before called about 10 people each, I also knew none of them, one or two by name but nothing more. The third leader was a woman and I see her everywhere, I believe her name was Skyler.

She stood straight and held her clipboard firmly in her hands and began to go down her list. “Harry Styles, Morgan Bond, Niall Horan, Jasmine Kane, Liam Payne, Lizzie Smith, Louis Tomlinson, Madison Murphy and Zyan Malik.” She read. My heart nearly dropped as she called my name. With a small look around, the nine of us that she called rose. We were all sitting far apart from one another, expect for Jasmine, Niall and I, it seemed surreal.

That night, which was a Friday, we the people in Skyler’s group, decided to meet up her Skyler’s leader camp, which as much larger than any solider one, I’ve been in. Surprisingly it wasn’t as weird as I thought it would be, showing up here. I took it upon myself to be the social one and introduce myself to everyone who declared themselves in Skyler’s unit. “I’m Morgan,” I said to a clearly shaved headed man, who gave me a look. I then proceeded to introduce myself to Madison and Lizzie, and I knew Niall. The other two wait. Once Skyler invited us in, the air suddenly became less tense.

We ended up talking and just hanging out in the camp until crazy hours and we joked around; actually laughed, which was so foreign here around camp any other given day. We talked about our families, stupid little fears, why we joined the force.

“To make a change,” the shaved man, that I learned was Liam, smiled.

“To make a difference.” I added to his statement.

*Back to Present*

Shaking my head, with a smiled planted on my face, I giggled at the sudden memory of when I first met everyone who was to become the people I couldn’t go a day without. As scary as it will be to head off to Afghanistan, I know it’ll be alright. We’ve got a strong unit.
