"Skype call from Ben773 skype call from ben773 skype call from ben773" I quickly get out of bed and run up my laptop and accept the call from my brother.

"Buuuuub" I yell and wave at the camera.

"Hey sis did you just get up" I nod and we talk

"Can you call in the boys I wanna. Talk to them"

"Boyyyyyyyys" I scream and turn back to my screen

"You could have just gotten up" I shrug as the boys walk in and we sit there and talk to Ben for a good ten minutes till the boys leave.

And me and Ben talk for a little while longer until someone steps into the camera and sits down and starts talking to Ben. I listen to there conversation.

Ben=hey Wyatt wassup

Guy in my view=what ya doin man who you talkin to ya got a girl man

Ben=my sister say hi Wyatt

the man looks at me and waves."

Rebecca" he sits there as me and Ben continue talkin we talk for. 5 more minutes until his Sargent calls him out.

"By rebel I'll talk to you when I can and don't forget to continue writing"

"I won't bub love you bye be. Safe"

"Bye sis love you to and I will"

"By Rebecca" I wave at Wyatt

"Bye Wyatt keep my brother safe." He smiles at me.

"I will that's a promise ma'am"

I sit there staring at my empty screen. I don't even realize it but I'm crying I wipe my eyes and head down stairs to the sound of the smoke alarm going off I shake my head and go in the kitchen. I find Kyle burning food I yell at him to get out and take over. I clean up his mess and make pancakes. I'm laying in bed but I can't sleep I'm thinking about my brother I'm scared for him I need to know he's ok.

I get up and grab some paper and a pen and start my letter.

Dear Bub,

I'm writing you cause I'm scared for you I need to make sure your ok and I miss you. I miss you here I miss you teasing me, I miss your cooking or your singing and your guitar playing. Or how you handle the boys when I can't. I miss you just being here I miss hugging you I miss you being here to help me deal with everything I miss you in general.

I want you to be safe.I want you to be home.I don't want you out there knowing there's a chance you won't come home,or you'll get hurt. I just miss and need you I guess. We'll be safe Bub and hurry home we need you back home soon.

~LOVE SISSY~

I write my letter and put it in an envelope and put the address and stamps on it and put it on my dresser. I then lay down and recite a poem i know all to we'll.

Oh lord please keep my soldier tonight, close by your guiding hand of might, give him the strength to carry on, when all is dark and hope is gone, help him to trust and have no fear, for you are watching ever near, let him know he's not alone, your light will always lead him home, he's rough and tough no emotions show, but god he's just a boy you know, he claims the tittle and wears it proud, says he's the best and says it loud, and though some day, hell guard your heights, lord please bring him safely home tonight.

I lay there a little while longer and fall asleep soon enough.
