"Hello?" I mumbled into the phone a few hours later. I didn't answer it the first time, but when it rang again I picked it up. "Hey Macey, it's Mikael." He said. "Hey. Whats up?" I asked and yawned. "Did you party to hard last night?" He asked. "What?" I asked. "Did you party too hard? I missed you in class today." He explained. "OH SHIT!" I shouted, and jumped out of bed. He laughed. "It's okay. You didn't miss anything important. Just some reading out of the book." He said. "Aw man, I totaly forgot." I said. "It happens to the best of us." He said."Did you enjoy yourself last night?" "Yeah, I guess." I said, and yawned again. "Well, you sound like you need more sleep. I'll call you later if it's okay." He said. "Sure." I told him, and then said goodbye. I stretched and walked out to the living room. I heard my phone ring again, and ran back to my room to get it. "Hello?" I answered. I didn't hear anything but static. "Hello??" "Macey." "Andy?" I asked. "Yeah." He said, and I cried imediatly. "How are you?" I asked. "Jason is dead." He said flatly. "WHAT? What do you mean?" I asked confused. "He was dead. We lost half our troop in the last mission." He said. "Oh my god." I whispered. "Are you okay?" I asked. "No." He said. "I'm so sorry!" I told him. "It happens. I'll see you soon." He said. "What? What do you mean you'll see me soon?" I asked. I just heard a click and then silence. He had hung up the phone. "ANDY!" I screamed, and then cried harder. Elizabeth came running in the room. "Whats wrong?" She asked. "Jason died." I told her. She walked over to me, sat down on the bed next to me and gave me a hug. "It's okay sweetie." She said. "Andy's not okay. Something is wrong." I told her. "Of course something is wrong, his best friend just died." She said. "NO! You don't understand. Something is wrong." I said. She just wiped my tears, and hugged me tighter. My phone rang again, this time it was Jarrod. "Hello?" I answered, my voice shakey. "Oh my god, you heard." He said. "Andy called me." I told him. "He did? Is he okay?" He asked, franticly. "He said no." I told him. "Did he tell you where he was injured?" He asked me. "What?" I asked. "I just got a call from his mother, she said he was wounded and would be home after he was sent to some military hospital in Germany." He explained. "WHAT?" I shouted, and started crying more. "I'm coming over." He said, and hung up the phone. "Lets go out to the living room." Elizabeth said. "I'll heat some tea." I just nodded and let her lead me out there. I sat down on the couch and curled up under a blanket. Jarrod was there onlya a few minutes later. He must have been on his way while he was talking to me on the phone. When he knocked on the door, I started to get up, but Elizabeth yelled at me to sit back down, and she answered it. Jarrod came running in, and ran over to me, grabbbing me and giving me a big hug. I noticed he had been crying too.
