Avery's POV:

We're driving to the airport and Kendyl's in the back, with her earbuds in. I told her before we left the house that I wanted a few minutes to talk to Hunter in the car. She seemed supportive but insisted on going with us.
"So this is it huh?" I say, trying to break the sadness I know we're both feeling.
"Not for long babe." He says, sadly.
"Yeah I know. I'm gonna miss you these next couple of months though," I say sadly.
"I know Aves. It'll be over before you know it and I'll be home. Or in Breaux Bridge." He says with a smile.
We arrive at the airport where Kendyl hugs me and says she'll miss me. We just met but we've become close over these past few days. I hug her back with tears in my eyes. Then I turn to Hunter.
"I'll miss you Miss Avery," he says, tears in his eyes as well.
"Don't cry Hunt. You're gonna make me cry," I say with a small laugh, tears are flowing now.
"I'm just gonna miss you babe." He says, wiping my *running* mascara away.
"I know. I'm gonna miss you more Hunter."
"Impossible, Avery," he says, tears are flowing for him now too.
"I'll call you when I land?" I asked, missing him already.
"I'll wait up." He says, and kisses my forehead.
