Once In A Lifetime

The Beginning

"Dad!"

"That's enough Hunter! You can protest all you want but this is happening. I'm taking you on this mission trip and while gone you can't have any communication with anyone. This is for your own good."

"How?"

"Son, I'm just worried you got caught up in everything. I just wan to make sure you're still the talented young man you are."

"I am, and you can't just force me to go. I'm an adult. I'm twenty-three with a house and a girlfriend I have to think about."

"I will treat you like an adult when you stop acting like a child. I know you think this is some sort of punishment but it's not. And as for Libby, she'll still be here when you come back and if she really Loves you she'll wait."

"I won't go."

"Yes you will. We're leaving in the morning so get packed. End of discussion." And with that Leo Hayes left his son standing in the living room upset and confused.

~Hunter's POV~

I couldn't believe how ridiculous my dad was being. I just had to call Libby.

Phone conversation

Libby: Hello?

Hunter: Hey sweetie.

Libby: Hey is everything okay?

Hunter: No not really. I proceeded to tell her everything that would be happening.

Libby: I'm sorry Hunter. I don't know what to say. I Love you and I'll be here when you come back.

Hunter: I know. I just hate how we're finally public about us and now I have to leave for six months. I'm sorry. I Love you.

Libby: You too. I have to go, I'm still at work but I guess I'll see you in six months.

Hunter: Okay.

Libby: Hunter?

Hunter: Yeah?

Libby: I Love you. Bye.

Hunter Love you too. Bye.

End of phone conversation.

And that's what happened. The next day I left with my dad. I kissed my mom goodbye and called Libby one last time. The net six months of my life were spent on a missions trip. I thought it would have been unbearable but by the end I did enjoy helping people. But needless to say I was ready to get back to Nashville.
