ST VALENTINE’S STORY By Angel It was just another day, it was 14th of February, and Howard May hated it. He always said that the reason was that his father was killed in the St Valentine´s massacre in 1929, but most of his friends thought that the real reason was that he was just jealous of other people. Everybody seemed happy with their couples that day, while Howard felt alone, and by the end of the day he could easily be found lying on some bad-looking street, in front of a bar, completely dunk. That St Valentine´s he had another reason to be sad: his mother didn´t wanted him to go to war. -
“Why?”-he asked her-“You let Harry and Luke volunteer, Why can´t I do the same”
-
“Because I need you here to help me. And see what happened to Luke, dead in a dry and hot dessert, hundreds of miles from here…”
And she started crying, as always. So he went directly to Chuck´s bar, and asked for the first drink of the day. After two bottles of rum and one and a half bottles of whiskey, he saw entering the bar what in his eyes seemed like an angel, a beautiful young girl, with a lovely doll´s face and a nice long brown hair. She started chatting with Marco, and after half an hour she walked out the bar with a funny pace. -
“Who is she?”-Howard asked.
-
“She´s Daniella, my cousin. His family lived in Arizona, but she wanted to go to a city, and I asked her to come to Chicago. Would you like to meet her?”-said Chuck, and he smiled.
Three hours later he was on the back part of Chuck´s bar, sitting in a chair and smoking, because he couldn´t control his nerves. And she finally came. They spent five hours talking about everything: their lives, their families, the food, the war… And by the end of the
day, after they said goodbye to each other at her house´s door, Howard felt that he wouldn´t hate St Valentine´s day anymore. And he wasn´t drunk. They carried on meeting each other, and for four months, Howard was happy. They started a relationship, and one sunny day of May, she talked him about marriage. Howard was confused, he had never thought about that. His mother supported Daniella´s opinion. -
“That will make you mature, taking care of a family is a big responsibility.”-she had told him one day.
But one day of June, a telegram was sent to home: Howard´s brother, Harry, had died in Normandy. As soon as he read that, Howard took a decision: he would volunteer. He convinced Daniella that he would come back as a hero, and every girl would be jealous of her, because her husband would be a hero. He joined the Marines because he thought that a hero needed a good uniform, and two days before going to war he married Daniella. From the 24 hours a day, she spent 25 thinking about Howard and what was he doing at the moment, how he would return, and if he would really return. Howard sent a postal every week, but she was very worried. Finally, Howard would experience the baptism of fire he had spent weeks waiting for. They would take an island with a little airport in it. It was called Peleliu or something like that. They had told them that it would be an easy battle. -
“Little resistance expected, boys. We will take this island in four days.”-the general had said.
As the vehicle approached the beach, he felt nervous and excited, and started thinking in home, Daniella, and St Valentine´s day. “I´m now a happy man thanks to that day”, he was thinking. Then, they got out of the landing craft, and Howard saw how war really was. His friends were dying; their blood and their bodies –at least some part of their bodies- were covering the beach. He started running, like other soldiers were doing, and he suddenly felt a huge pain in his chest. He was bleeding, and Howard started calling for a medic. He stood there, watching his blood coming out of his body, about two seconds: a mortar round exploded under his feet, and the upper part of his body was thrown into the air. The last thing that passed throw his mind in those two seconds was the thought that he would never see Daniella again, and he felt guilty for causing her pain for his death.
-
“This is because that damned day, St Valentine´s day! She wouldn´t have known me if I had not gone to that bar that day. And I went to that bar because it was St Valentine’s Day. I hate you, St Valentine!”
And then he died.
