Hope you guys are liking this story! I think that I will be posting a chapter each day until the story is up, so not for that long, a couple more days, but I hope you enjoy it! Next I think I will be starting either a Supernatural or Walking Dead story. That or I will continue with Twilight. Let me know your thoughts!

I sat up in bed, still half asleep, trying to rush to get up to answer the phone. In a groggy voice I answered, "Hello?" I pried my eyes open to look at the side table's alarm clock, which read 3:47 a.m. in bright red text. Who would be calling at this hour? A stern male voice answered: "Yes, is this pilot Jonathan Cutler?" Jon sensed urgency in the voice. "Yes sir, Pilot Cutler here." He replied, trying to sound as alert as possible. "You are needed on a mission. We launch in two hours at the most. You must be here within the hour. Understood soldier?" The voice responded in the same authorized tone. "Yes sir." Jon replied. Before he could say another word, the phone clicked off. He must've had to go make more calls. By this time, Maddy had sat up in bed, looking at Jon. When he said nothing, she moved to sit on the edge of the bed next to him. Not hearing the calls' contents, she looked very concerned and confused. Jon pulled her into a tight hug, not quite able to meet her eyes. When he was finally able to gather the strength to, she looked up at him as they let go of the embrace. He wasn't quite sure what to say. He had to leave on a dangerous mission. How does one explain that? "I-I.. I have to go." He could see the gears turning in her head. Her eyes went wide before filling with tears when she finally understood. "What? But you just got your license a few weeks ago…!" She had begun to sob hysterically, and Jon just sat and held her tight, doing whatever what was in his power to comfort her. There they sat for at least twenty minutes, before she finally sat up. She watched sadly, still shedding tears, as he prepared to leave, dressing in Class A and packing his bag. Maddy walked him to his car door, and they made preparations for her to call the family later in the morning. Finally they had to say their goodbyes. Everything was loaded, and R1L3Y was patiently waiting. Jon kissed her softly before hugging her again. He pressed his lips against the top of her head, inhaling the sweet jasmine scent. Finally, Jon and R1L3Y departed, leaving Maddy.
