Audrey and billy were sitting down at their kitchen table eating dinner.

They both got the news that billy was going off and they hadn't really talked to each other ever since.

Audrey looked at billy and got mad she stood up fast "WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GO!" She yelled and he rolled his eyes and looked up.

"Audrey I have to go"

"Why?!?"

"Because I mean I'm saving America you know like how I saved the school"

"But this is different" she said

"How?" He asked standing up to put his dish in the sink.

"Because I mean when we were at the school I was there Hank was there everyone was there.

"They're coming with me"

"But I'm not" she said in almost a whisper.

"Yeah I know that I mean I don't want to leave you Audrey but I'm good at this"

"I know you are its just I don't want you to go" she said about to cry so she ran in their room.

"Audrey" he said going after her.

She was sitting on the edge of the bed and was crying.

He sat down next to her and held her.

"Audrey I'm coming back"

"Yeah Joey thought he wasn't going to die either but look at him now he's dead he got shot billy" billy hated it when she brought up Joey but she didn't mean to.

He put his hands on her shoulders and held them tightly.

"I know that Audrey so would you stop bringing it up" he said shaking her his grip was getting even tighter to the point where she could barely feel her shoulders.

She started crying more because of the pain.

She started to cry even more.

Billy finally realized it was because he was hurting her and he let go.

"I'm sorry Audrey" he said rubbing her shoulders.

She looked at him but he was blurry and she jumped in his arms.

She cried in his chest and he had tears in his eyes to.

"I don't want you to go" she said between sobs.

He kissed her shoulders hoping it would take the pain that he caused away.

He always had a hard time controlling his temper.

"When are you leaving?"

"April 5th" he said she pulled away "that's just next week"

"I know that's why I want to spend as much time as I can with you"

They sat in complete silence for a couple minutes.

"I'm gonna go clean up the kitchen" she said.

She put her unfinished food in the fridge and wiped off the table and everything and she went to go get ready for bed.

She put on one of his shirts and let her hair down.

She crawled into bed and hugged the shirt as if she were hugging billy.

A single tear fell from her eye and on to the shirt.

She heard billy walk in and heard him changing out of his clothes then getting in bed.

"Audrey?" She didn't answer she she heard him start to turn over and they both turned to face each other at the same time.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and hers around his neck and crashed their lips on each other's.

Billy turned the lamp off never leaving her lips.

They both laid down slowly.

He got in between her legs and she wrapped them tightly around his waist.

Their was nothing between them but to billy it seemed like they were already a thousand miles apart.

So he held her tighter.
••••••••••••••••••
The week went by way to fast for both of them.

They woke up on April 5th and he was fixing his hair and putting on his uniform.

She rolled out of bed and she got ready herself.

The night before they had been packing all his stuff and it was already in the car.

She looked over at billy standing in front of the mirror in their closet admiring his uniform.
