Royal Soldier

Going home

Harry's Pov:

It has been 7 months since I was deployed to Afghanistan and I am finally going home.

I packed up my bags and put on my uniform and carried my bags out of the place that has been my home for the last 7 months.

I put my 3 large dark green duffle bags in a pile with the bags of every soldier going home.

After a while of waiting the soldiers returning home Loaded up onto the plane that would take us to the airport where we would then get on another plane and go home.

After a while of flying we arrived at the airport and got off the plane and loaded up into another plane and waited for our bags to be loaded onto the plane.

After 30 minutes of waiting we started our way down the runway on our way back home.

( Hours later)

We landed in London and put on our bullet proof vests and put our kit bags on and we walked off the plane.

I walked into the airport and saw Pa and William waiting for me.

I walked over to them and hugged them tightly.

" It's good to have you back home." William tells me

" It feels good to be home." I tell him

" Let's get your bags and go home." Pa tells me

I retrieved my Duffle bags and William grabbed 2 and I carried one and we walked out of the airport and too Pa's car.

William and I loaded my bags and my bullet proof vest in the trunk and drove off.

We arrived at Kensington palace and William and I grabbed my bags and put them in the laundry room.

" I am going to go get a shower. Make yourself at home." I tell them heading upstairs

I tried trimmed my hair and got a shower and got out and shaved my face.

I got dressed in a pair of dark denim blue jeans and put on a white T-shirt and socks and shoes and went downstairs.

" Harry, your grandmother wants to see you." Pa tells me

" Alright Let me grab a sweater." I tell Pa going upstairs

I walk back downstairs and go outside and get in Pa's car and we are on our way to Buckingham palace to see Granny.

After a few minutes of driving we arrive at Buckingham palace. Pa, William and I start towards Granny's place and after a few minutes of walking we finally make it.

We knock on the door and it opens to reveal my uncle Andrew and the entire family.

" What is everyone doing here?" I ask

" It's not everyday my war hero, grandson comes home from Afghanistan after 7 months away." Granny tells me

" Granny I'm not a war hero." I tell her

" So you didn't carry 2 injured soldiers back to the base?" Granny asks me

" Yes. I did." I tell Granny

" Is it true that they would have been killed had it not been for you?" My uncle Andrew asks me

" I can't say for certain." I tell them

" Just face it Harry. You are a war hero." My grandpa tells me

" Fine. I'm a war hero." I tell them

Happy with me finally accepting that I am a war hero they came up and hugged me.

" It's so good to have you home and safe." Granny tells me hugging me tightly

" It's good to be home." I tell her truthfully

" Can a Grandpa get a hug from his soldier grandson after not seeing him for 7 months while he was deployed to Afghanistan?" Grandpa asks me

I laugh and hug my grandpaand we pull away from each other and once I am in an upright position my grandpa salutes me and I salute back.

" Welcome home soldier." Grandpa tells me

" It feels good to be home." I tell my grandpa

After greeting everyone and talking to everyone we all go to the dining hall for dinner.

Once everyone is seated our meals were placed in front of everyone we all started eating our food and enjoyed conversations with everyone.

After on hour dinner was over and slowly everyone started to go home and soon it was just Granny, Grandpa, William and I.

" Tomorrow my unit will be awarded their Afghanistan medal. I hope that you will both be there." I tell Granny and Grandpa

" We wouldn't miss it for the world." Granny tells me

" We better be on our way. I have to be up early tomorrow morning for the medal ceremony." I tell them

" Very well. We will see you both tomorrow morning." Granny tells William and I

William and I leave and go back to Kensington palace.

" Goodnight Harry. I will see you tomorrow morning." William tells me

" See you tomorrow morning, Wills." I tell William getting out of the car and walking to my front door

I went upstairs got out of my clothes and brushed my teeth. I set my alarm and climbed into bed and under the covers and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
