New Reid and Luke one shot. This is going to be different, hope you like it. Be patient with me Sanda, it will be a beautiful Story, with some scary, and dangerous moments. I actually got this idea reading Melinda's M.A.S.H, stories on fanfiction. Her stories are amazing, she inspired me to write a war story, with a bit of romance put in it .
Chapter 1
Reid walked into Bob Hughes office, and Bob told him to sit down. Reid wondered what was so urgent, that he was called into Bob's office.
"Reid you know that Dave was going to Afghanistan for two months, in a week"
"Yes he was chosen, he was really happy about it"
"Well we have a problem, we promised them Dave was going to go, but he has backed out"
"Backed out, why"?
"His wife is pregnant, he doesn't want to leave her"
"It is for 2 months, he wanted this, it was all he talked about"
"Reid you were the next in line to go, we really want someone from the hospital to go to help out"
"What about Chris, I'm surprised you are not asking him"?
"Chris wasn't in the running, but he doesn't want to go there"
Reid was speechless, but he smiled, "I will go, they need Doctors over there, I will do it"
"You should discuss this with Luke first"
"He will understand, it is something that is important" Bob got up shaking his hand, and Reid walked out. He was happy, but scared at the same time. He hoped Luke would understand, it was something he needs to do. He went to work, and tried to not think about it much. He was finished, and was about to go home, Bob ran over," here is all the details. You leave in 5 days, and come back this date, 2 months. We will talk some more, but I'm really proud that your representing Oakdale Memorial"
"Thank Bob". Reid left , and drove home, Luke wasn't home yet. He put the papers on the desk, and ran upstairs, to shower before dinner.
Luke walked in, he knew Reid was home, because of his car outside. He heard the shower, he smiled, he was going to run upstairs. He put his coat on the chair, and noticed documents on the desk. Luke knew it wasn't right to read them, they were Reid's but he lifted them up. He saw the official document, and his heart sank. He couldn't believe Reid would volunteer without telling him first. He sat down he felt sick, he knew he could lose Reid over there, it happens everyday to Doctors, reporters, and the Soldiers, and anyone who volunteered to help out.
Reid ran downstairs, he smiled, "your home do you want to order a pizza Luke"?
"No I want to discuss these papers Reid"
"Oh God Luke, I was going to discuss this tonight, I just found out"
"This says you agreed to go to Afghanistan "
"Yes they need someone, it is something, I really wanted to do"
"Really you could die, you don't think I have a right to be part of the decision"?
"Yes, I thought you would understand Luke"
"I don't understand, and I'm mad as hell at you".
"Come on, lets talk"
Luke grabbed his coat, "why Reid, you obviously make you own decision about something so important, you don't need me. I'm going to my Mom's, I won't be home tonight, order pizza for yourself". Luke ran out, and Reid yelled, but Luke took off, and Reid shut the door, and never felt more alone, he knew he would be angry, but to run out, he didn't think that would happen.

Great start to your new story Jessie. I LOVE the idea of Reid wanting to help out over in Afghanistan. I don't like the idea of Luke walking out on Reid without hearing him out after he saw the papers that Reid turned in to volunteer to help out over in Afghanistan. I also love all of the drama you added in this story as well. I LOVE that you mentioned Melinda's wonderful stories over at Fanfiction.net. I actually had an idea about writing a Reid and Luke story about them helping out over in Japan after I saw all of the devastation with the eathquake and the tsunami.

Chapter 2
Luke got to his Parents home, but he didn't want to talk, he just wanted to go to his old room, and be alone. He walked upstairs, Lily followed him up, and knocked on the door.
"Mom please leave me alone, I'm upset , and need to be alone". Lily walked in, "Luke what happened, did you have a fight with Reid"?
"Yeah it is over this time, are you happy Mom , throw a party"
"Luke you are being a jerk, what happened"?
"Not what your thinking, he didn't cheat or anything, he just did something, without discussing it with me first"
"What did he do"?
"He is going to Afghanistan Mom, I know he wants to help, but it is so dangerous"
"Oh Luke, it is scary, but so many Doctors go over there to help"
"I know that, but I could lose him Mom, stuff happens to so many innocent people. I don't want to get Reid back dead, please Mom, I need to be alone, I'm so angry"
"You are being selfish, maybe he needs to do this for himself"
"Yes maybe, but I'm his partner, he should have asked me first"
"Well you would act like this, can you blame him for being scared"
"I thought you would understand Mom, I don't get you sometimes"
"Why Luke"?
"You don't like Reid, but now your sticking up for him, or is it you just want him out of my life that bad Mom". Lily got up, and walked to the door, "That is one of the cruelest things you ever said to me, I will expect a apology, when you grow up". Lily walked out of the room, and Luke threw a pillow at the door, and screamed jumping off the bed. He felt like he couldn't breath, he got up running downstairs.
Holden ran out to the hallway, "Luke you are too angry to drive, just come in the living room, and talk to us"
'No, I'm going to the pond, but if Reid calls don't tell him where I am promise"
"I won't but you have to talk to him Luke"
"I'm not talking to him right now, he is a jerk". Luke walked out, Holden looked at Lily, they both were worried, but hoped he would be ok, just driving to the pond. Their phone rang, and Lily ran over answering it.
"Hello"
"Lily it is Reid, can I speak with Luke please"
"He was here, he ran out, he is beyond angry at you"
"I know, where did he go"?
"I can't tell you Reid, why didn't you discuss this with him before you made the decision to go away"
"It happened so fast, I didn't want to let Bob down. I was wrong, I have to talk to Luke, please tell me where he went"
"I can't betray my son, but think about it, you will realize where he is" Reid yelled, "the pond". He said goodbye, and ran to grab his coat. He grabbed his car keys, and ran out locking the door, and ran to the car. He had to sit for a minute trying to calm down a little he was so upset. He started the car, he hoped Luke would listen to him, he couldn't leave knowing Luke was so hurt. He drove off knowing Luke wouldn't be happy, but he hoped, he would forgive him.

Great update Jessie. I hope that Reid and Luke will be able to patch things up before Reid leaves for Afghanistan. I happen to agree with Lily that Luke is being selfish right now.

Chapter 3
Reid drove to the pond, and parked, and walked out to the spot he loved to visit with Luke when they came to the farm. Reid saw Luke sitting by a tree.
"Luke "
"Oh God , I need to be alone, go home Reid"
"No, you are angry, I get it, but stop being a baby"
"I'm being a baby, you are a jerk Reid, why do I bother with you"?
"You really feel that way"?
"At the moment yes, I'm so angry with you Reid"
"I should have told you, but I would go anyways, you know this is my passion. They need Doctors over there, and I'm scared but proud of my decision"
"So I wait here for 2 months not knowing if your are coming home in a coffin or not"
"Yeah pretty much, think about all the wives and husbands, that do it for years, while their loved one fights this war. Grow up Luke, can we go home, and talk like two adults"?
"No, I'm not coming home tonight, and tomorrow doesn't look promising either". Reid smiled, "God are you two"?
"Yeah make fun of me Reid, that is your specialty, being a cold hearted jerk, it makes you feel better"
"Yeah you are right Luke, I love being a cold hearted jerk, I'm not standing here listening to you, put me down. I'm going to Katie's, I'm not going to waste another minute on you"
Luke was shocked, and angry, he got up, and ran over grabbing Reid's arm. "You are angry at me"?
"Yes, I said sorry , what do you want me to do, beg for your forgiveness? I'm not going to do that , so why waste another moment, talking about it". Reid walked away, and Luke yelled, "I guess it is over Reid, why did I leave Noah for you"?
Reid turned, "You made a play for me, just as much as I wanted you. If you want Noah go to him, I'm not keeping you"
"You don't really love me Reid, you wouldn't do this to me"
Reid walked away, Luke sat down by the tree, he was so angry he was shaking. He yelled, "I don't care if I ever see you again Reid".
Reid got to his car, he heard what Luke said, and it hurt him. He got in the car, and was driving, his head was pounding. He drove to Katie's house, and knocked on her door.
Katie ran over opening the door, and Reid smiled, "Hey Katie, can I come in to talk"?
"Yes Reid, it is late, what is wrong"?
"Me and Luke are over, and I don't really get why"?
"What did you do Reid"?
"I didn't tell him something important, I should have, but to act the way he is, shocked me"
"What did you keep from him, Reid"?
"I'm going to Afghanistan to help out"
"Afghanistan you are kidding"
"Katie you know I wanted to do this, Dave was chosen, he backed out, and I was next in line"
"Well give it to someone else, I don't want you to go"
"Oh not you to Katie, I thought you would understand"
"I do Reid, but I'm scared, I need you, Jacob needs you". Reid walked over hugging Katie, and whispered, "I will be back, I promise". They both stood holding each other, both knowing something could go wrong, but they knew thinking that way, would only make it worse, on everyone.

Great update Jessie. Poor Reid, Luke, and Katie. Poor Reid is in a very bad place right now. He needs a hug bigtime and not everyone giving him a guilt trip for wanting to go and help in Afganistan.

Chapter 4
Luke would not answer Reid's calls all week. Bob was holding a going away party friday night for Reid. It was at the the Lakeview Lounge. Reid was leaving on Saturday, all the nurses, and Doctors came. Katie , Jacob , Carly, even Lily and Holden showed up. Reid walked over to them, "Luke isn't coming, I leave tomorrow"?
"I don't know if he is coming or not Reid"?
Reid tried to act normal he was really disappointed in Luke. He walked over grabbing a beer. Katie walked over, "Are you ok, look at Jacob he is dancing with Kim Hughes, he is going to break women's hearts when he grows up"
"Yes, he will". Katie couldn't believe her eyes, Luke walked in with another guy, on his arm. She smiled, "Reid lets dance"
"I'm not in the mood, this party wasn't a great idea". Katie was staring and Reid turned, he saw Luke with this guy. He couldn't believe Luke would do this to him. Reid stormed over, "What is this Luke, I know your mad, but to bring some lover here"?
"Reid for your information, we are not lovers, but why do you care"?
"You know what Luke, it is over, I don't ". Reid walked over, grabbing his beer, drinking it fast. He smiled, "Come on Katie, lets show everyone how to dance". He walked over, they were dancing, she could see he was upset, but he was trying to put a brave face on. Luke was watching him, Ben smiled, "Luke was it a good idea to bring me here"?
"Yeah Ben we are friends, don't worry".
"You love him, he is going away, I just heard that lady say. Is it smart to get him upset before he leaves for a war zone"?
"Ben stay or go , I don't care". Ben smiled, "I will stay, but I hope you know what your doing". Ben walked over to the bar, asking for two beers. He walked over handing one to Luke, who couldn't keep his eyes off of Reid. Bob walked over to Luke, "Luke what are you doing"?
"Nothing why"?
"This is a party for Reid, he is nervous about going. He is so upset he hurt you, and you do this"
"What did I do Bob, tell me"?
"You know young man, if something happens to Reid while he is away, can you live with yourself"?
"Yes, I didn't ask him to go, you did, why couldn't Chris go, you don't want him killed"?
"No that isn't the reason, Chris can't go but that is none of your business why he can't go"?
"Whatever"
Bob walked away, he walked over to Reid, and whispered something. Reid shook his head, and Katie, walked over grabbing Jacob. Bob got them to stop the music, and he turned to Reid.
"Reid everyone at the hospital are so very proud of you. We all know you will represent the Hospital in the most Honorable way. We know you will come home safely, we all chipped in, and got you this gift"
Luke yelled, "What a bullet proof vest"?
Bob ignored him, and Reid opened the bag, and smiled, "OMG a new lap top, you didn't have to do this"
"Well we wanted to, we made sure it would work over there. We all programmed our email addresses in there for you. We expect to hear from you, we also put pictures, and jokes in there for you".
Luke clapped his hands, "Oh jokes, that will be a comfort for him". Reid turned, "Luke go home, you are being a total idiot"
"You are how could you do this to me"?
"I'm doing this for me, I want to go over. I thought I loved you Luke, but after this week, I saw a side of you, I don't really admire at all". Luke walked over, he screamed, "You are a liar, and you are walking out on me, so don't you dare put this all on me".
"I lied how"?
"You said you would never leave me, well you are, and I won't sit here everyday wondering if you are dead or alive". Reid was overwhelmed, he walked out of the Lounge, and Katie grabbed Luke, "I will never forgive you for this". She ran out looking for Reid, while Kim kept Jacob.

Great update Jessie. I am NOT happy at all with the way Luke is treating Reid in this story at all. I just hope and pray that that Reid and Luke will be able to get past this and make up soon. I LOVE how Katie is sticking by Reid during all of this stuff that Luke is putting him through. I LOVE that all of Reid's co-workers chipped in and got Reid a new lap top computer and that put their pictures and e-mail addresses into the laptop computer for Reid while he is in Afghanistan.

You guys have to trust me as a writer, with this story. I know what I'm planning, I know Luke is acting like a jerk. This chapter he isn't much better.
Chapter5
Reid walked over to the coat check, and got his coat, when Katie ran over grabbing his arm.
"Reid wait, I want you to come to my place, and spend the evening with me and Jacob"
"I can't I have to go home and pack, I wouldn't be great company either"
"Ok you go home, I will go to my place, and get a few things for me, and Jacob. I will come over, and I'm driving you to the airport, in the morning". Reid hugged her, "thanks, can you say my goodbyes to everyone, I just can't"
"Sure they will understand, I will be over to your place soon"
"Ok Katie thanks". Reid walked out, and walked to his car, got in and took off.
Katie walked into the lounge, and walked over picking up Jacob. "Bob I'm sorry Reid left, he was too upset, he is so grateful to everyone for the wonderful gift"
"You going to stay with him tonight"?
"Yes, me and Jacob are, we want to drive him to the airport in the morning"
"Tell him I'm sorry this happened tonight, and I will call him tonight ok"
"Ok Bob thanks". Katie turned, she saw Luke sitting at the bar. She walked over, "Luke are you proud of yourself"?
"Yeah Katie"
"He is going to Afghanistan Luke, you are making him stressed before he even gets there"
'Oh he will be fine, he doesn't care about what I think anyway"
"If I didn't have Jacob here, I would smack you upside the head. You truly don't deserve Reid, and I will never forgive you for hurting him like this"
'Oh I can live with that Katie". She started to cry, and walked out with Jacob. Holden walked over grabbing Luke's arm, "you are a spoiled brat, what you did today was cruel, and downright mean"
"Yeah I have been told that already"
"I'm taking your Mom home, she doesn't even want to talk to you"
"Good I don't need the lecture" Holden shook his head, and left with Lily. Luke smiled at Ben, "want to go drinking somewhere more fun Ben"?
"No I have to get home to my Wife Luke, I didn't realize I was brought here today, to hurt you boyfriend"
"I don't have a boyfriend Ben, don't you get it"
"Luke I will drive you home, lets go"
"I don't have a home, it is Reid's actually, and I'm not going to my Mom's place"
"Ok come on my Wife won't mind for a night". Luke got up, "Oh thanks Ben, you really are a pal". Ben smiled, they walked out, and left.
Reid got home he shut the door, and threw his coat over the chair. He felt sick, he walked into the kitchen, and grabbed a beer. He was so angry, his hands were shaking. He couldn't believe Luke , he wasn't the man he thought he was. He walked upstairs, and grabbed his suitcase, laying it on the bed. He was putting stuff in it, he walked to the dresser, and grabbed a photo of him, Katie and Jacob, and smiled. He noticed one of him, and Luke he lifted it up, and whispered, "I loved you Richie Rich, but you are not the man I thought you were". He put the picture in a drawer, and shut it. He put Katie's, and Jacob's photo in his suitcase. He was putting shirts in his suitcase, they said to only bring 2 suitcases at the most. He walked to the closet, he saw a shirt of Luke's he pulled it off a hanger, he walked to the bed, looking at it. He never cried, but today, was a first, he wiped tears from his eyes, and held the shirt to his chest.

Great update Jessie. Poor Reid. I am soo glad that Katie and Jacob are going to be spending the night with Reid before he goes to Afghanistan. I LOVE that Reid packed a picture of Katie and Jacob into his suitcase. I really HATE the way Luke is treating Reid in this story. I hope and pray that Reid and Luke will be able to get past this and reunite soon.

Chapter 6
Katie and Jacob got to Reid's house, and knocked on the door. Reid answered, but Katie could see he was hurting bad. She walked inside, and hugged him. Reid lifted up Jacob, and whispered, "Hey buddy, I sure need to see you right now".
"Uncle Reid I don't want you to go away"
"I know, but I will be home soon. I promise, I will send you emails all the time ok"
"Ok, but promise you won't get hurt"
"I will be fine, did you make me a picture yet, so I can post it on my wall when I get there"? Jacob smiled, "Yes, I made this". He opened up his bag, and Reid smiled, "Oh this is perfect, this is you, me, Mommy and".
Jacob smiled, "That is Uncle Luke, Uncle Reid"
"I love this Buddy, I will treasure it, I'm sure it will get me through my lonely nights".
Jacob smiled, "Can I watch TV"? Reid touched his head, "Sure, I will put it on. Reid put on Jacob's favourite channel, and Jacob sat on the couch watching the cartoon.
Reid walked into the kitchen where Katie was putting water in the kettle. Reid sat at the table, and Katie smiled, "You want a snack Reid"?
"No, I'm not hungry, but a coffee would be great"
Katie walked over, "Reid Luke is angry, don't you worry about him while you are away. I want you home safe, I don't need your mind being distracted over there".
"I know Katie, it is over, he proved today, he never loved me".
"I think he does, but lets forget about him right now". Reid smiled, Katie made them both a coffee. They went to the living room, and sat with Jacob watching cartoons. Reid and Katie were looking at the TV, but neither really watched, they were thinking about the future. Reid knew he was doing what he needed to do, but he hated that it ruined his life, with Luke. Katie couldn't get the thought of she could lose Reid out of her mind, she held his hand. It was a few moments, later they decided to go to bed. Reid kissed them goodnight, he went to his room. He got on his pajama pants, and got in bed, when his door opened. He smiled as Katie and Jacob walked in, getting in the bed, and they smiled, "We want to be close tonight". The three of them, fell asleep snuggled together.
The next morning Katie got up making Reid a lovely breakfast. It was time to leave, Reid grabbed his stuff putting in Katie's car. He locked up, and they left for the airport. They parked, going inside, they went to customs, Reid signed in. He turned giving Katie and Jacob, a hug, and touched their faces. "I love you both, I will keep in touch. I will come home, and when I do we will go on a little holiday just the three of us". Jacob cried, Reid hugged him, he hated seeing Jacob cry. He put him in Katie's arms, he was overwhelmed, he kissed her, and walked through the gates. He looked back seeing Katie, and Jacob crying, it brought tears to his eyes. The door shut, he walked over sitting down, he felt like he was going to cry, but he held it in. He wanted to call Katie, but his signal wasn't working so he turned the phone off. He sat there he had a 1 1/2hours to wait, he wished he could board the plane now. He shut his eyes, but decided to get up, and grab a book for the plane. He walked over grabbing a James Paterson book, and some gum, and a Snickers bar, and a bottle of Pepsi. He walked over sitting down, drinking his pop, waiting for the the flight to board.
Luke woke up at Ben's house, Maggie smiled seeing him come in the kitchen.
"Good morning Luke"
"Hi Maggie, thanks for letting me stay here tonight, it won't happen again"
"I don't mind Luke, Ben told me about your Friend leaving for Afghanistan today"
"Yeah who cares"?
"Luke you are a sweet guy, but how could you do that to him"?
"What are you talking about Maggie"?
"Did you love him Luke"?
"Yes, but he didn't feel the same way"?
"What he is doing, is amazing, he is brave, you should be proud of him, not treat him like crap".
Luke looked at Ben, he yelled, "I have to go, I have to go to the airport now". Luke ran changing, grabbing his coat, putting on his shoes, and ran out of the house. Ben yelled, "Should I drive you"?
"No, I have to do this alone, Maggie is right, I was a jerk". Luke jumped in his car, he dialed Reid's cell, but didn't get a answer, he shut his phone, and took off to go to the airport.

This chapter was soo sad Jessie. I LOVE that Reid, Katie, and Jacob slept together the night before Reid left for Afghanistan. I LOVE the picture that Jacob made for me. I HATED see Katie and Jacob crying when they left Reid at the airport. I am soo happy that Luke realized that he was being a jerk. I hope that he gets to the airport in time to apologize to Reid and that they make up before Reid gets on the plane to Afghanistan.
