“The Only Way Out II: Soldier Boy”
Narrator: Hayden Dreyer (The Soldier)
PRESENT DAY

Here we are. Here we throw away the pages of our books. A better life and forgiveness from our lives of thieves and crooks. The bus stops here, I’ll miss you my dear. I made the move I needed to. I’m in deeper waters now.

I’ve arrived at these crossroads where need to need to make a choice. Desperation painted me a fool, I’m hating my own voice. This is not me, but for now it must be. This was the only way for me. The only door that let me leave. What do I do when the letters stop coming? When your hand tires of writing? There is no turning back for me. What do I do when I can’t just quit? My eyes are heavy, my stomach growing sick. I don’t think I can cope. Your love is my only hope.

Now I lie everyday to keep the money on my books. I cannot stand in the face of all the pretend worship looks. I don’t have you. What I need you to do is put to paper the pen, and start writing me again. May I have your love again to keep me on my feet? I cannot move with my heart in two. I need your breath to leave. I need you, please. Don’t you dare abandon me. I’ll shed these colors and I’ll run back to our home for your love
