Jill's POV
couple of weeks later
It never really hit me that Hayes could leave anytime. It could be in the morning, evening, or even afternoon. It didn't really occur to me that our love was so strong, till it be ripped away for 3 months. It didn't occur to me at all that this is what's going to happen. Hayes is gonna leave for 3 months and possibly forget about me. Find his new lover, and I'll just be another brick in the wall.
I haven't cried that much actually. You know why? Because I said all of that could possibly happen. Not that it could. You never know.
Hayes and I have been spending time like normal couples would do. We haven't been separated, but when we do, it will hurt like hell because none of us will see it coming.
I didn't think my life would become like this. In California I was just a nerd trying to go somewhere in life and here I am.
I didn't think it would hurt that bad when Hayes would leave because he would be coming back.. Right? He would have to be coming back...
I didn't think it would hurt like hell till it was late at night and Hayes' phone goes off telling him he's leaving. For 3 months.
"Do you have everything packed?" I ask him, whispering.
"Yeah," he says, whispering back.
It's 2 in the morning and I didn't think I would be wide awake, but I am.
"I don't wanna leave. Especially because I'm leaving you." Hayes says, looking at me.
I notice a tear slipping down his eye and be quickly wipes it away, turning the other way.
"I don't want you to leave either. But that would be selfish of me for you to stay here because of me, so I want you to go."
I get up and wrap Hayes in a hug. I put my arms around his neck while he put his arms around my waist.
A tear dropped on my shoulder and I knew it wasn't from me. That's all I wanted to do.. Cry. But I need to be strong for Hayes.
I take one of my hands and grab his face, bringing him to a small kiss. I then wipe his tears with my thumb.
"We can make this work. We can. We can do anything." I say, whispering and sending him a confident smile.
He sends me a weak smile back.
We laid on the bed with my head on his chest as he had his arms wrapped around me. We were waiting for Elizabeth to come and tell us it's time to go. We didn't even say anything to each other. It was so quiet, yet peaceful and relaxing. We didn't need to talk. We knew we would see each other again. We knew this would not be the end. 3 months will zoom by fast and we'll be together. I'll be his and he'll be mine. Like it always has been.
I laid on Hayes' chest as I collected my thoughts. I've had enough of them. With Shawn leaving me and now Hayes. Although Hayes is coming back, Shawn will not. And it hurts my heart to even think of that.
I was out of my thoughts as Hayes grabs my hand and intertwines with mine. He starts to use his thumb to rub my hand. He then puts his lips on my forehead.
"I'm gonna miss you so much," He says, softly. "I hope I can survive."
"I'm gonna miss you too." I state.
"I love you, princess."
"And I love you. Forever and always."
"Forever and always," he says, whispering back and looking into my eyes.
