Hmm, maybe. Something a bit more interesting before that, though, possibly. This whole thing's been in my head for ages xD
It was coming up to the end of the first week of his twelfth month in Vietnam. During the time he'd been there, he'd written to Lucy, called her, and taken pictures and had continued to carry out everything he'd promised her he'd do. And now there were three weeks left. Three more weeks left until he could finally go home and see Lucy, the thought made him ecstatic.
Only, something caused a complication on the very day, exactly three weeks until he was due to return, which was then about two weeks before Lucy's eighteenth birthday.
An attack from the Vietcong was launched, and it crushed through several US Army Camps, including the one where Asher had been stationed. It being totally unexpected, the effects were devastating. Many men lost their lives.
Only a day later, a letter was pushed through the letterbox into Lucy and Asher's apartment. Enclosed was the news that they both never thought and prayed would never have to come; that Asher had been one of the unfortunate ones and had, and I quote "fought valiantly until the very end. His life was cut short, but for a noble purpose."

HOLY CRAP! I HATE THIS!!!!
Lucy received the letter, and read it, her hands trembling, her eyes watering. She had known what the letter had meant, from the moment she had seen it pushed through the mail slot. "No... no... this can't be happening!! God, you can't do this to me!" She wailed, falling to her knees on the floor, sobs wracking her body.
Eric rushed over to her, throwing his arms around her. "Sis, sis, you just cry it out, okay? Just cry, let me hold you." Lucy turned and buried her face in his chest, still weeping bitterly. "I had been so hopeful! The only person I ever loved after Richard... gone! Gone!"
he'd better come back. Because... then I'll be the only one with any characters left xD

Hahaha. Hey, it adds drama, though, right? xD
It was to be expected, in such a large scale massacre, that there would be few survivors. There would be missing people and there would also be some who could be mistaken for others. Because, in truth, if rockets had been fired, how would you know who had died from who was just hiding and who someone was when there was almost nothing left of them?
Mistakes were made, and that had devastating effects on some families, who grieved for men who had actually lived through it.
Asher, blissfully unaware of this mistake, was in the hospital wing, in the central US camp. He wasn't dead, just in a bad state. It would take him a month to recover enough to be able to get out of bed. Lucy would be worried, disappointed, he thought, that he wasn't coming home right on time.

Lucy would pull a Juliet, though. And she doesn't have a sassy gay friend, either. OH NO!
but yes, it does add to the drama.
Lucy suddenly ripped herself from Eric's arms, running out to her car and jumping in. Her hands shook as she put the key in the ignition, then sped away, towards the place where it had all began. She drove silently, no music, no crying. Just her, staring ahead at the road, the land becoming flatter and flatter. After over twenty hours of traveling, she stepped out of the car, and onto the fields of her old hometown, back in the west. She looked around slowly, then left her car on the side of the road, and started walking. She knew where she was going, her body remembered it perfectly. Eventually, the grass grew shorter, and she climbed over a small stone fence. Then she walked, past stone after stone, until she found exactly what she had been looking for. She knelt down and took a small box out of the pocket of Asher's jacket, then laid a pair of dog tags down on the ground.
Softly, she touched Richard's grave stone, and whispered, "I'm letting go now, Richard. Please don't hate me, but I can't do this anymore. I lost you... and now I've lost Asher. Nothing is right in the world."

OO: She needs one!
Asher was a bit of a nightmare, in all honesty, while he was in hospital. He was bored of not being allowed to do anything, all day everyday. And he fought with his doctors about how long it would be before he could go home.
"But I have to go home. I should be going home in less than three weeks. It's my girlfriend's birthday-- I have to be there!" he would say to them, several times a day, every day, "I can recover fully back at home!"
But the doctor's weren't having any of it. Of course, that would surely only make it worse for Lucy: The fact that he wouldn't come home when he was supposed to would be more confirmation of his death to her, when actually it was all just a big misunderstanding. Nothing in this twist of fate was going to make things any easier for her.
He wasn't allowed to write, either. He was injured all over, and the doctors weren't prepared to take any risks, no matter how minor. The last letter she would have from him was the one tucked away in his leather jacket from a little over eleven months ago. It had been sent right away, when he'd started serving. It was customary for all army members to write one then. The front of the envelope read: "Do not open unless in the event of your loved one's death". Wow. Sincere. Heartfelt.

OoC: Yes, she does.
Lucy took off Asher's jacket and sat there, staring at it intently, the tears in her eyes drying up. She didn't want to feel anymore, not after this. It was too painful for her to bear, the thought of Asher being... Wait... what's this? She asked herself as she felt something crinkle in one of the pockets. She wondered why she hadn't noticed it before. She pulled out the letter and sighed. "Oh no, another letter..." Cautiously, she opened it, afraid of what she might read once she had. But then she saw Asher's handwriting, and her heart seemed to stop for a few moments. Once more, she was crying, and she knew that nothing would be able to stop the grief. So, she read what Asher had written for her, saved especially for this moment in their lives. In her life.

- Lucy,
I know we both wished you'd never have to open this letter. I didn't really want to write one, I suppose; it made it seem too much like we were all expecting the worst if I did. But if the worst happened, and, seeing as you're reading this, it has, I couldn't waste the opportunity to tell you one last time, the way I feel about you.
As I write this, it's only been a few weeks. But it's already too much for me to bear-- missing you, wishing I was home. And now I'll never get the chance to see you again. Nothing hurts me more than that thought. Because I know it's you that has to live with it now. I had the easier job, I suppose. I'm hoping and praying that you'll be alright, and go on without me. You're so talented and beautiful, you have a great future ahead of you. I beg you not to waste it. I'll be watching you every step of the way. Know that, even though you can't see me, I'll be there.
You're the best thing that ever happened to me, Lucy McClintock. And I wish now that we could have had everything I promised you, a future together, making you Mrs. Scott, and so much more.
I'm not so good with words the way you are when you write your beautiful songs, and I wish I could find something truly romantic to say to you.
All I will say is that you are perfect in every way-- I knew I never truly deserved you--, you're beautiful, you make me laugh, the thought of being away from you makes my cry, and you have the kindest heart of any person I've ever known. Our time together was so short compared to what it could have been, but I'm grateful for every millisecond of it, for every millisecond that you loved me in a way that noone had ever shown to me before.
I will always be in love with you,
Asher.
Old tear stains could be seen on the pages of his letter to her, smudging and blotting the ink in various places. He had cried while he'd written it, hoping she would never have to read it, his only means of telling her what she meant to him. It had felt so distant, not meaningful enough for his liking, for words could never have described his feelings for her.

Lucy read his words slowly, over and over again, trying to will herself to do what he had asked of her-- to go on and live. But she didn't want to, she couldn't bear the idea of being alone, without him, for the rest of her life. She knew she wouldn't fall in love again; two heartbreaks had been enough for one lifetime, she didn't want a third. She felt guilty as she noted the tear stains that dotted the page, but she knew she couldn't move on, even if it had been what he had wanted. She folded the letter and put it away, then just laid on the ground of Richard's grave, crying, holding onto Asher's jacket for dear life. As she wept, she curled up into a ball, burying her face in the leather material, taking in its smell, trying to remember what it was like to hold him in her arms. Maybe his body would be sent home soon, maybe she could see him once more. What about his parents? Did they know?

If Asher had known what had been happening back with Lucy, he would have found his own way home. To think that she was willing to end it all. This would be a huge mistake on the army's behalf, should he go home to find her gone, because she thought he had been.
But there was nothing he could do, because he had no idea, and he had no ways of proving that he was still alive.
In regards to who they thought had been Asher, all of the men who had died in the last few weeks were sent home, and a procession would be held in their hometowns in a few weeks time. Though, that was to say, not much was left of those who had died then. It would be impossible to tell whether it was Asher's body or not. Which had been the problem.

As Lucy lay sobbing, the sky began to darken as twilight settled on the countryside, a melancholy feeling seeming to tinge the whole world around her. The golden grass of the fields swayed softly in the breeze, like a million whispering voices bemoaning their fate. Even the crickets seemed somber, only chirping occasionally and softly, leaving Lucy to her own tears. The world was falling into a restless slumber all around the young woman, and she vowed that soon, she would sleep along with it, and everything would be all right. Lucy assumed they would find her, cold, in the morning, and she would be buried her, with her ancestors. The sun, a blood red orb that hung in the sky, lowered itself below the horizon, and darkness swallowed the graveyard.
But then a light shattered the darkness, and she heard voices all around her, making her feel faint, dizzy, sick. "Who's that?" "I don't reckon I've seen her before!""Yes we have! it's miss McClintock from town!" "Lucy, are you okay? Talk to us!" "Lucy?" "Lucy!" She let the dizziness sweep over her, and just fainted in their arms.

That DVD was wayyy longer than I expected it would be. Sorry about that
So we've established that Asher didn't like being in hospital as it was. It was only a few days, however, before things got worse. One of Asher's comrades had been brought into the ward late at night. When things had settled down, and doctors had left the room, Asher heard his name being whispered.
"Asher.. Asher.. Is it really you?" he said.
"Yes, it is me.. Why do you sound so surprised?" Asher replied.
"We.. We.. We thought you were dead! We thought they'd found remains of your body after the massacre.. They.. They sent the letter home and everything, you know."
Asher's eyes widened. "Are you serious..? No, no, this can't happen.. Lucy will think I'm.. And I told her to.. But she won't listen.. I have to get home!"
For days, and for the next month, every day, several times a day, he would protest, shout that he had to go home. But nobody listened.

Ohhh, which dvd!
Lucy stopped talking completely after she was found in the graveyard. Her parents welcomed her home with open arms, and she held them close, two of the people who had stood by her forever. She cried openly when they saw her, because they cried as well. After that, she just didn't make a sound. Occasionally, she would smile, when she fed the chickens or milked the cows at the neighboring farm. Her parents had thought it would be good for her to get a job outside the store. And it seemed to work, at least on the outside.
When Lucy was alone with the animals, or wandering through the field, she would sometimes miss the roar and bustle of New York City. But then she would think of Asher, and her heart would sink even further, so she went back to her chores.
Eric tried to call multiple times, but their parents said that Lucy was not speaking to anyone. She was still listless and melancholy, and sometimes she would go to her room and cry to herself.

I have to go to dinner, and Tae Kwon-Do after that. So I'll be back at.. Lets say maybe 3:15pm your time? Should be, anyway.
Asher's parents had recieved the news as well. They had phoned the apartment to see whether Asher's girlfriend-- this Lucy girl, who he never stopped talking about whenever they phoned-- knew that his body would be taken back to Montana. Eric, of course, had answered, and they had asked him to pass his parent's number on. Apparently, she wasn't speaking to anyone, but it was worth a shot.
Asher's mother, Sarah, phoned the house, praying Lucy would answer.

Okay, I'll talk to you then! =)
Lucy's mother answered the phone politely. "McClintock residence. Lucy? Oh well, she's not speaking to-- Oh! I'll try to get her." She put down the phone, then walked to the barn to get Lucy.
Lucy was brushing the coat of one of the horses when her mother entered. She looked over at her and smiled, her form of greeting as of then.
"Honey, you have a phone call," she said softly, taking the young woman's arm and leading her back to the house. Lucy struggled at first, giving her mother a stern look, as if to say I'm not talking to anyone. Sighing, Lucy's mother said, "It's from Asher's mother. She wants to speak with you."
Lucy's eyes widened greatly, but she simply stood there, unsure of what to do. It had been so long, she didn't know if she would be able to talk. Finally, she went into the house and picked up the phone, placing it up to her face.
"Hello?" Lucy said, her voice still holding the soft, melodic quality it had always possessed.

Sarah was almost startled when she heard Lucy's voice on the other end of the phone, she had been expecting her mother to come back and say that Lucy couldn't talk at that moment. "O-oh. Hello, Lucy.

Well, I was wondering if you knew that they're bringing him back for burial. And, well, I know they're asking me, but I'd think he'd want you, rather than me or his Dad, to say where he should be buried. They could bring him here, or to New York. I just thought, maybe, since you're living there, that maybe you'd want him brought back you New York?"

Hooray!!!
Lucy sighed and thought about it for a few moments, unsure as to what he would have wanted. She didn't want to keep him from his parents, but he had loved New York. It was where they had made their home, where they had built a life together. It was where they fell in love. Gently, she said to Asher's mother, "Ma'am, I think he would have wanted to be buried in New York. But I want you to be there with me. I know we really haven't talked very much, but... I feel like you're a part of my family, too. Give me your address, and I'll drive you and Mister Scott to New York City for the burial. But, you really should know that... that I... I'm low on gas, so we might have to make a few stops." She had originally intended to say I'm not going to live in New York anymore, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. She couldn't bury their son in New York, then say that she wasn't going to be there anymore. That would be selfish of her.
OH, and you can ignore happy hour for now! We have a plot to do here! xD

Okay, and now, with previous arrangements still in place, I must dash!
Sarah smiled to herself a little. She and her husband had both been pretty sure that Asher's heart belonged in New York now. But it was good to know that Lucy agreed. She was surprised by her offer. "Oh, hun, that's an awfully long way. All the way up to Montana to pick us up and then to New York. You realky don't have to. We could meet you there if it's less trouble." Of course, they would be very appreciative, but it was a long way for someone whom they'd only ever heard about from their son to drive.

I do too! <3 Yay for emotional trauma!!!
Lucy said, "It's the least I could do, Mrs. Scott. Besides, my parents want me to get out of the barn more often, and... I think that Asher would have been okay with this." She choked on her words, having to put down the phone, coughing to cover up the fact that she was crying. When she returned she said, "Sorry, I had something in my throat. I'm okay now... I'll leave right away, as soon as I get off the phone. I think Asher had the address somewhere in his jacket, so I'll look off of that. Thank you so much, Mrs. Scott. Thank you!" She hung up the phone, tears streaming down her face. She grabbed Asher's jacket, then checked the address on the tag inside, before putting it on and jumping into the car.
Lucy's mom just watched, a sad smile on her face. Her daughter was running once more.
Lucy said, "It's the least I could do, Mrs. Scott. Besides, my parents want me to get out of the barn more often, and... I think that Asher would have been okay with this." She choked on her words, having to put down the phone, coughing to cover up the fact that she was crying. When she returned she said, "Sorry, I had something in my throat. I'm okay now... I'll leave right away, as soon as I get off the phone. I think Asher had the address somewhere in his jacket, so I'll look off of that. Thank you so much, Mrs. Scott. Thank you!" She hung up the phone, tears streaming down her face. She grabbed Asher's jacket, then checked the address on the tag inside, before putting it on and jumping into the car.
