Jack's POV
As I sat sat in my last class of the day, Math, I could't help but wonder why Kim wasn't at school today. She usually never missed school unless it was an emergency. Gosh I hope she's okay. When the bell finally rang, I quickly got out of my seat and rush straight to my locker. I had to get to Kim's house to make sure she was alright.
I grabbed my skateboard and quickly sped of in the direction of Kim's house. I got to the front step of her big house, picked up my skateboard and peeked through the window to see if anyone was home or not. Kim's mom sat in the corner bawling her eyes out.
I was confused but still I knocked. Kim's mom came to the door and quickly fixed her self up before answering. She opened the door and said,
"Oh Jack, It's just you."
"Yup, anyways is Kim home I didn't see her at school today so I wanted to come and check on her." I said softly.
"Um ya she's out back." She replied.
"Thanks." I said. As she closed the door I hopped of the porch and started for the gate. I slowly and carfully opened the gate trying not to make to much noise. I walked in and looked around but there was no sign of Kim. I kept looking and I was finally able to se a pair of legs through the leave of the tree. I walked to her and as I did I started to hear sobbing and as I got closer the sobbing got louder. I was finally under the tree, I looked up and I saw Kim crying in one of the high branches of the tree. I decided to climb up to figure out what was wrong. I finally got to where she was and said,
"Hey, are you okay." All she did was put her head into my chest and cried even more. I decided not to tease her and put my arm around her to support her. Then I noticed the piece of paper that she had in her hand. I carefully took it out of her hands and when I did she hugged me with the other hand. I read the letter:
Dear Crawfords,
It brings me much saddness having to write this but, Colonel James Crawford has been killed in action. I am so sorry. You know we have been friend since the second grade, I would have risked my life for him but instead he risked his for mine. What happened is that as we were in Afghanistan they started to throw bombs and James ran into a car and crash into them right as they were throwing a bomb, just to save us. Again I am so sorry, I truly wish I could've help but their was no time and I tried to stop him but it was too late. I will be flying in soon to be with you. And again I am so sorry.
Love,
Colonel Kevin Jones
"Oh My Gosh Kim I am so sorry." I then realized just how many soldiers were dying just for us, and all the kids that have to deal with the fact that they will never know when the will be that they see their parents again. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. After that day I started seeing many things in a new perspective, and I knew I would never be the same. And I was pretty sure Kim wasn't the same either.
A/N: SO I REALLY HOPE YOU GUYS LIKED IT AND AGAIN I REALLY NEED SOME IDEAS FOR KICKIN IT AROUND THE WORLD.
THANKS,
