Marks POV

               It had been a few weeks since my parents talked about moving Jack out. They actually decided to go through with it. My parents said Jack was to stay with my uncle in Florida when he recovered since he had a lot of money. Jack ended up healing nicely but felt sore every now and then. On Saturday Jack was supposed to leave to go live with my uncle. I spent as much time with him as possible trying not to imagine him leaving. Jack tried to keep acting happy and cheery but I could see the hurt in his eyes when we talked about leaving and the plan for us. Jack and I sat on my bed cuddling. "We can make this wrong distance thing work right?" Jack sounded worried that we were gonna have to break up. "Of course we can because I love you." I kissed his forehead hoping to make him feel at least a little bit better. "I love you too." 

              The day for Jack to leave continued to approach faster and faster. The closer it got the more attached Jack got to me. I tried to push him away at times so it wouldn't hurt him as badly as it was already going to but I couldn't work up the courage to do it because I didn't want him to go. 

              It was Saturdy morning and I woke up to Jack pressed up against me. I sighed and held him tighter. Jack moved to face me. "Morning love." I said to him hoping to wipe some of the sadness off his face. "Morning." Jacks eyes were sparkling with tears that he tried to hold back. "Jack baby you'll be fine." Jack finally let the tears roll down his face. "I don't want to leave Mark." I pulled him into my chest and let him cry. My eyes started to fill with tears as well but I held them in trying to make Jack feel better. "I don't want you to go either." I swallowed hard and pushed Jack out of my chest making him face me. "I'll come see you all the time and we can skype all the time and when I come to visit we'll have the most amazing time together, I promise." I weakly smiled at Jack and he smiled back. I wiped the tears away from his eyes and kissed his forehead once more. Jack and I finally got up and packed his bags and got ready for the day. It was noon by the time we were outside waiting for my uncle to pick him up to take him to the airport. It was a cloudy gray day which matched the way I had been feeling. I stood leaned up against garage door with my arms wrapped around Jack. Jack couldn't stand still him continued to move about and squirm as if he was so nervous about leaving which I couldn't blame him. A black SUV pulled over to the curb and by what I could tell it was my uncle. Jack and I walked over to the end of the driveway and said our goodbyes. I kissed Jack one last time and he got in the car. 

Jacks POV 

                I couldn't believe it, it was actually happening I had to leave Mark. Right when the car continued to drive away I yelled. "STOP THE CAR!" I quickly jumped out and ran over to Mark who had tears glistening in his eyes and couldn't bear to see me leave. "Jack what are you doing?" Marks voice sounded weak and broken. I ran to Mark and pressed my lips up against his again. I pulled away and our foreheads met. "I'll see you soon my love." I whispered quickly kissing Mark for the last time and getting in the car. The car finally started to drive away and I couldn't look back without breaking down. I cried anyway at the thought of Mark. Mark had saved me when no one else could, he had been there when I needed him most and he was the only person that I actually gave a damn about. I couldn't picture a life without him in it. Then my phone beeped interrupting my thought. 

Mark: in time my love I will see you again...

I cried at the message and looked back not being able to see Mark anymore. Marks uncle continued to stare me down but right here and there I didn't give a fuck what he thought of me. I was gonna be forced to live with him anyway. I cried the entire way to the airport. When we got there I wiped my tears away and bordered the plane. While we were waiting for the plane to take off I quickly texted Mark. 

Jack: Markimoo?

Mark: yes love?

Jack: I love you

Mark: I will love you forever and always 

Jack: forever and always? 

Mark: forever and always. 

Jack: Mark the plane is about to take off so goodbye...

Mark: don't think of this as a goodbye think of it as a I'll see you in time my love...

I closed my phone and pulled it into my chest. "I'm gonna miss you Mark." I whispered to myself as a tear slowly rolled down the side of my face.
