Don't You Die On Me!

Part 3

Summer's PoV
First day isn't as good as i thought it would be. Our instructor is giving us a hard time. So many physical training, and he also wanted us to memorize the F-18 Natops. He wanted us to know our aircraft inside and out.
Memorizing things is definitely not my thing. Don't get me wrong, i'm good at memorizing but i just simply don't enjoy doing it.
By the end of the day he will give us test based on the natops.
Bradley sat in front of me, i really like seeing him wearing his uniform. Damn it bradshaw.

"Summer, everything's good?" He asked looking back at me.

"Yeah. I just don't like having to memorize things quickly. But i'll manage. You good?"

"Yeah, i'm good. Hangman there can't stop looking at you, and it kinda bothers me by a lot."

"Relax, that girl on the back also has been eyeing you ever since you sat in class today. She's pretty."

"Nah, not quite my type."

He turned his attention back to the natops after saying that.

This day will surely feel longer than it should. I really can't wait when i'll finally able to be inside the cockpit and actually control the plane.

Skip to the end of the day, after the test

I already did my best, whatever the result is i'm sure i won't regret it.

"Summer, wanna hangout at the bar later?" Hangman approached me out of nowhere.
Well someone's not an ass today.

"I'd love to hangout but maybe not today, i'm kinda tired from all those exercise. Maybe tomorrow, is that okay?"

"Oh yeah sure, get some rest. Goodnight summer."

What has gotten into him. So not like him.

I walked to my room and see pheonix ahead, i jogged bit to reach her.
"What a tiring day. Have a good rest pheonix." I said to her and then i went into my room.

I took a shower and then lay on my bed, trying to sleep early when someone knock my door.

"Summer, you still up? Wanna go on ride with me? You can sleep while i'm driving."

Oh that's rooster. I guess he got something bugging him. He always love to drive his car whenever he got something in mind.

"Yeah i'm up. You can come in, it's not locked. I'll grab my jacket."

I didn't change from my pajamas, i only cover it with oversized jacket.

"Sorry to bother you, i know you're tired."

"Nahh, i'd do anything for my baby bradley."

We walk quietly to his car, i rested my head on his shoulder while he put an arm around my shoulder.
He opened the car door for me, like usual.

After a few minutes drive i asked him," is something bothering you roos? you know you can always talk to me."

"I just miss my dad. Seeing your dad at the academy kinda bring me the memory about my dad dying. Don't get me wrong, i don't hate maverick. It's just it's still hard for me to let go."

I stay silent. I guess he just wanted to be heard.
I stare at him for quite a while, i can see that he didn't shave his mustache. He looks so handsome.

"Just know, whatever happens i'll always be here for you, whenever you need me." I said to him.

After that i fell asleep.

But i woke up inside my bedroom, i guess rooster carried me to bed and tucked me in.
