Hi everyone , Its been a while since the last time I wrote a story here so I thought id share one with you and if you like it I will write more stories or add to this one . Id been sleeping , suddenly woken up by the rumble of something outside, I wasn't sure what it was but it was too close to be a train and too heavy to be a semi truck. I know it wasn't my imagination but the rumble left just as quick as it had come. I looked outside and saw nothing unusual just my dog sleeping in his kennel and the moon light hitting the tops of my sunflowers. It was almost 3am and Jessie hadn't called yet , she always called around this time every day , even on my days off from working the nightshift , shed call me just to see if I was still alive and breathing. Even though Jessie lives far away she still finds time to make me feel special and remind me that we are but a phone call from each other. 345 am and no call from Jessie , I guess ill just go back to bed. I closed my eyes and thought to myself sleep but instead I couldn't get comfortable. I had a bad feeling that something was wrong , Jessie called me every night since she went home to New York , it didn't matter the time she would call. I tried to close my eyes one last time , Jessie flashed before my eyes and she had a long scratch on the side of her face. It was then that I sat bolt up in bed with a cold sweat and my heart racing. I knew then that Jessie was in trouble. I called LAX and said I needed a flight to NYC on the earliest flight possible Jane , the lady on the other end of the phone said " sir the earliest I can get you onto a flight would be 730am with a lay over in Chicargo. A few moments latter , my phone rings , its Jessies Mom " Jock , Jessies been in a car accident and they don't know if she will survive " I could hear the fear in her voice and knew that I had to get to New York as soon as I possibly could. Jessie was my best friend and soul mate , if I didn't get to New York soon I would loose her forever. Sitting at LAX waiting for my flight was tedious . knowing I should be by Jessies side instead I'm being held prisoner by the airlines flight schedule. To Be continued
