" You said that you would come home after basic training," I cry into my phone. " Babe, I'll be fine I gotta go it's time for dinner here," I hear my boyfriend say. I hang up, and just cry into my pillow. " Kennedy, time for dinner," I hear my mom say from the bottom of the steps. After a few minutes of me not answering, I hear heavy steps coming up the wooden steps signaling that my dad is frustrated. I lay on my bed, and stare at the picture of Jase and I last fall when he took me hunting. I hear banging on my door. I get up, and look in my full length mirror... I look like CRAP! " Kennedy Hope Dawes open your door now," I hear my dad's muffled voice yell. I open my door, and my dad says " Oh, sweetie what's wrong." " It's Jase, he is being shipped overseas," I say. My dad hugs me, and says " Well, let's go eat dinner and then we'll sit down, and watch Rudolph The Rednose Reindeer." I say " Okay, thank you daddy. Can I change first?" My dad says " Yeah go ahead." He kisses my head, and closes the door. I walk into my bathroom, and take off my make-up, place my blonde hair in a messy bun. I head downstairs, and my younger brother Chris says " Ah, here comes the soldier's princess." I start to cry, and run back upstairs shutting me in my bedroom. My dad comes up, and knocks on my door. I let him in, and he walks with back downstairs.

Chris says " Sorry, Ken." After eating dinner, I put the dishes in the dishwasher. I am the last one to get into the family room. I lay on the floor, and post on Facebook * Watching Rudolph The Rednose Reindeer, and missing my marine.* The first comment I get is from my best friend Tyler, she says " After you finish the movie, call me girl." The second comment is from Jase he states " Ah man you're watching it without me, I love you baby remember if you miss me look at the stars, because if you do we will be looking at the same stars." Later that night, after I hang up with Tyler. I fall asleep while looking out my window at the stars as snow starts to lightly fall.
