    Harper opened her eyes when the sunlight hit her face. She rubbed her eyes, then sat up, looking over at Logan who was still asleep. They had been married for almost a year now and she had to admit that it was going pretty great. Harper slid out of the bed quietly then made her way to the bathroom. She took a shower then brushed her teeth and got dressed. Harper walked out of the bathroom and made her way down the stairs. She opened the fridge trying to decide on what to make for breakfast. Harper bit her bottom lip lightly as she looked at the time.
    Easton sighed as he stepped out of his jeep throwing his backpack over his shoulder. He was finally back in his old town and he was ready to catch up with some of his friends. Easton deployed a couple months after high school graduation and left behind his old life for a few years. He left his friends, family and even his girlfriend, now ex Madison. Easton knew it was harsh to end it with her but he felt like it was best. EAston walked into his house, smiling as his mother hugged him. He was so glad to actually be somewhere familiar for once.

    Logan rubbed his eyes mechanically and rolled over to cuddle with Harper, only to discover that she was no longer in bed. He stretched and rolled out of bed. Yawning, he headed towards the bathroom where he commenced with his daily routine.

    He took a deep breath and smelled food which caused his stomach to growl. He hoped Harper had made enough food for two and he went down the stairs, two at a time. The past year had been on of the best yet, he loved his wife more than anything else.
    Madison smiled over at her boyfriend, Brandon, as they rolled along in his truck. The windows were rolled down and the wind was whipping through her ponytail. She turned the radio up and sang with it as she tapped her feet on the dashboard. She loved and hated moments like these; they made her happy but also tended to remind her of Easton.

    Brandon was the fifth guy she had attempted to erase Easton out of her mind with, and for the most part it was working. They had been going steady for a little six months and Madison was almost positive he was the one. Or at least as close to the one as she could get.

    Harper smiled when Logan came down the stairs, "Morning baby." She said as she kissed him softly. "I made breakfast." She said as she set their plates down. It wasn't often that they had a day off together and she wanted to enjoy it. She took a sip of her coffee, "How'd you sleep?" She asked as she are a piece of her bacon.

    ----

    Easton walked up to his old room and set his things down. He sighed as he looked around, seeing that his parents changed it a lot. He walked downstairs hearing them talk about going to the local bar in town. It was a nice place to get something to eat and drink. Easton looked at his phone and texted Logan, "Guess who's back in town fucker :)" he sent the text then looked at his parents. He had kept in touch with Logan but wanted to surprise him about his visit.

    "I knew I smelt bacon." He grinned at her. "My sleep was wonderful until I rolled over and you were missing." He pretended to pout when suddenly his phone vibrated. "Who's texting me this early in the morning?" He groaned, fearing it was his boss.

    When he glanced at his phone, he was stunned at what he read. Easton was back in town! Easton had been Logan's best friend for as long as he could possibly remember.
    Madison and Brandon pulled into the little dinner and made their way inside. They scanned the menu and decided what they wanted. Once the waiter had come, and gone, to retrieve the menus and their orders Madison whipped out her phone to check the time.

    She knew it was early but she also knew her best friend would be awake, so she sent a simple text asking Harper, "What's up, love?" and patiently waited for her reply and her food.

    Harper looked at him as he looked at his phone, "What is it babe?" She asked as she finished cleaning up her plate. She looked at her phone reading Madison's text, "Just go done eating breakfast what about you?" She texted.

    ------

    Easton sat down on his couch and looked at his phone, "You wanna meet at the diner for dinner tonight? You can bring the wifey." He texted. He was excited to see his friends.

    "Easton is in town!" He grinned ear to ear. His phone went off again. "He wants to know if we wanna get together tonight at the diner." He looked at his wife expectantly. Hoping she hadn't made plans for them and if she had, that she would be willing to cancel for him.
    The waitor brought their food back just as her phone vibrated with Harper's response. She responded quickly with, "Eating breakfast with Brandon. What are you getting into today?"

    Then she put her phone away and went to enjoying her meal. When she looked up, she saw Brandon staring at her. "What?" She asked, suddenly feeling awkward.

    "Nothing.." He blushed at being caught staring. Even though they had been dating for awhile he still managed to shock her with the little things he did. This was one of the many things she would find him doing, and his reaction is always the cutest when he gets caught.

    Harper smiled, "Sure i wouldn't mind eating down there." She said. She looked at her phone, "We are going to eat at the diner tonight. You and Brandon should stop by!" She sent the message then looked at Logan, "How's Easton doing anyway?" She asked as she sat at the table. She took a sip of her coffee again and ran her fingers through her hair. She hoped that MAdison would be okay tonight if she saw EAston.
    Easton smiled when his friend agreed, "See you tonight." HE sent. That night he walked into the diner and looked around at the bar half. He talked to a few of his friends that he hadn't seen in a while and got a beer. Easton was wearing a nice flannel that showed off his muscles and his dog tags hung from his neck. Easton looked over, seeing Logan then walked over, "Hey man." He said as he gave him a small hug. He hugged Harper, "Hey Harper." He said smiling. He looked at the two of them, "So how's married life?" He asked. The only that really had changed about Easton was he had a scar down his right eye now and a slight touch of PTSD. Though it didn't show.

    Logan looked Easton up and down, not much had changed about his friend. He noticed the scar that now marked Easton's cheek and looked away. He didn't want to stare, he didn't think Easton would appreciate that too much.
    Madison was getting ready to meet Logan and Harper at the diner. She had invited Brandon but he had a meeting to attend to. She glanced at herself in the mirror and noticed how she had changed in the past few years; the way one normally changes with age. She held her head up high and was much more graceful with how she went about things. She smoothed her dress down and was satisfied with what she was wearing, she snatched up her car keys and headed out the door.

    She stepped into the bar, scanning for her friends. She noticed a man with his back to her talking to Logan and Harper. He was wearing a flannel shirt and you could see his muscles fairly clearly. He turned around and her eyes met his. Those familiar eyes stopped her in her tracks and heart wrenched. Her phone clattered to the floor and her hand went up to her mouth as she noticed the scar that now adorned his beautiful face.

    Harper smiled as she listened to the guys talk. She watched at Madison dropped her phone then looked over at Logan. She bit her bottom lip lightly, hoping that she wasn't mad. She looked over at Harper and waved a little bit.
    Easton turned, smiling when he saw Madison. sHe was even more beautiful than he had remembered. HE picked up her phone handing it back to her, "Hey Mads!" He said as he hugged her. "How have you been?" He asked as he stepped back and handed the phone to her. He hoped that she still wanted to be his friend. Though he wished that he could get her back but he doubted she wanted anything to do with him. Easton smiled as he looked down at her.

    Logan looked over at Harper. What did you do? He questioned with his eyes. Sure, he knew Easton would be surprised and even happy to see Madison. But as for Madison... He was entirely unsure how this was going to affect her.
    "Hi. Easton." She glanced over at Harper, giving her a what the hell kind of look. So many emotions flashed through her in that very moment. Happiness, anger, excitement, and bitterness. She definitely was not over Easton. She could tell just by looking at him. Her hand itched to reach out and cup his face but at the same time she wanted to slap him.

    He had left her cold and broken. She had wanted nothing more than she had wanted the man standing in front her, but he left her with nothing. She knew he probably thought he'd been doing the right thing, letting her live her life while she was gone but... Had she ever lived? No, she spent all her time trying to replace him.

    Harper shrugged, "I couldn't help myself." She whispered to Logan. She wanted her friends to get back together. They were so perfect for each other. She looked at Madison hoping that she wasn't upset.

    ----

    Easton smiled, "Alright let's eat." He said clapping his hands together. He sat down in the booth then opened his menu and took a sip of his beer. He closed hi menu and looked at Logan, "How ya been?" He ased as he took a sip of his beer.

    Logan looked at his friend who didn't seem to be phased by Madison's appearance. "I've been great. Not much happens when you live in a small town," he grinned at his friend, "How about you, soldier?"
    Madison sent Harper a reassuring glance. She knew her friend was only trying to be helpful, though it pained her to admit that. She watched Easton out of the corner of her eye, waiting for him to reply to Logan's question. Her heart lurching at the sight of his face. Even though the scar was there, rough and ugly, he was still as beautiful and bright as she had remembered him.

    Harper leaned against Logan as the guys talked. She was glad to see him happy with his friend. He had been talking about him a lot lately and she knew this was exciting for him. She he'll his hand and smiled.

    ----

    Easton smiled, "yea well I'm sure you have made the best of it....obviously." He said motioning to Harper with a grin. Easton nodded as he spoke, "oh great I was in. Iraq for a year then spent the rest of it in Africa. Though I don't reccomend going their because it's pretty harsh there right now." He said. He looked at Madison, "How have you been Mads?" He asked.

    Logan squeezed Harper's hand as he watched Madison worriedly. He knew he shouldn't freak out so much but he just didn't want things to go badly.
    "Oh uh.." Madison searched for the right words. Ive been absolutely horrible without you here. Completely miserable. I've tried to find someone who made me feel like you do with no such luck until recently, and then you had to just waltz into my life, is what she wanted to say. Instead she settled for, "I got the job at that little dance studio. You know how much I love dancing." She smiled in his direction without exactly feeling it.

    Harper smiled as she listened to Madison talk to Easton. She looked at her menu trying to decide what she wanted to eat. She looked at Logan, "what are you going to get to eat?" She aske him as she looked back at the menu again.

    ----

    Easton smiled, "That's great Mads I'm glad you are doing something you really like." He said. He was glad she was happy and he knew it was because he didn't make her wait for him. He looked at his menu trying to decide on what to eat.

    "I think I'm just gonna order a burger," he said in reply to Harper's question. "What about you?"
    Madison gritted her teeth together but forced out a chipper, "Yeah." She gripped onto the menu, her knuckles turning white. She wanted to yell at him; slap him. But she knew that wasn't what Harper and Logan wanted. They wanted her to be a good, nice girl. So she was trying, but she wasn't really sure how long it was going to last.

    Harper smiled, "I was thinking that too." She said. "And I'm going to eat your fries." She teased, kissing him softly. She pulled away then closed her menu. Harper ran her fingers through her hair seeing Madison was tense.

    ----

    Easton closed his menu then looked over at Madison. He took a sip of his beer then set the empty glass down and got another. He looked at Madison for a moment then looked back at Logan.

    Logan grinned at his wife, "Never fails." He chuckled and followed her gaze. He refused to let his smile falter; he didn't want Easton questioning him about it, even though the tension in the booth was so thick you couldn't have cut it with a butcher's knife.
    Madison saw Easton glance at her then to Logan, out of the corner of her eye. It was all she could do; just sit there and hold her breath. She was dying here, watching him. This wasn't how she imagined her life with the boy next to her. She had always dreamed of marriage, of kids, of growing old together. Never this. "I think I need a moment," she stated, as she scrambled out of the booth and out of the diner. She took a seat on the bench and put her head in hands, and held in the tears she so desperately wanted to let go of.

    Harper watched as Madison left ten got up, "I will be back order my food." She sai. To Logan. She walked outside then sat next to Madison, "are you okay Maddie?" She asked as she looked at her. "It will be okay he's only here for a month." She said.

    ----

    Easton watched as the girls left then looked at Logan, "She hates me doesn't she?" He said. He wasn't dumb and he could tell Madison didn't want to be around him. He got up, "be back in a bit." E said. He walked out, "Harper can I talk to Mads alone." He said. He watched as Harper went inside then sat next to Madison, "Look I know you hate me for what idid but I only did it to help you." He said looking at her. "I'm sorry and I feel awful that you are still hurt." He said
