She was all packed and ready to go. It was time for her to leave. Everyone was sad but on the outside we couldn't stop smiling.
I gave Jessica a kiss and hug goodbye. I knew she was going to be safe but there was something that kept on telling me that she wouldn't be.
I watched her from the crowd as she boarded. I heard my phone ring. It was her.
Me: Hello.
Jessica: Hey.
Me: Jessica I'm going to miss you.
Jessica: I will miss you too John.
Me: I love you.
Jessica: I love you.
Me: JESSICA WAIT GET O-
The connection was lost and the engine already started rumbling. I needed to tell her to get off. Something was wrong. I could feel it.

~JESSICA'S POINT OF VIEW~

The connection was lost. He was screaming. There was something wrong. I HAVE TO GET OFF THE SHIP.
Me: LET ME OFF!!
Pilot: Take off in 3...2..1.
Me: NO STOP.
Pilot: We have take off.
It's too late.

We are here. We are in space. I automatically start taking pictures. It is beautiful.
Everyone is looking outside. I sit down. They all move to the back of the ship to get a better view. It is all quiet. Until I hear a boom. I turn around quickly. Everyone is dead.
What do I do? I was completely clueless.
There was something wrong with the ship. That's what John was trying to tell me. I need to get back to earth as soon as possible. There was not going to be another dead person on this ship.
