About a week passed. It was time for Travis to go.

Travis's Pov

I looked at my bag as I waited at the doorway to say my farewell to Zane. I wished he could meet me at the airport. He has work. Zane opened the door his hair flipping in his eye as usual.

"Oh you came."
"Well I wasn't going to leave with out saying goodbye."
"Come on in we can talk for a few moments."
"Thanks."
He shut the door behind me.
"Feels like I only just got here."
"Yeah it kinda does. I wish we had of hung out more while you were here..."
"Same here."
"I hope you had a great visit though....."
"It was wonderful seeing the greatest the person in my life again."
"A-are you referring to me?"
"Well yeah..... You're the best everything I've ever known."
"Oh why thank you......." I could see the blush or well redness that creeps on ones cheeks when they're sad.
"Zane...... Come here," I held my arms out to him. He plopped into my arms his head resting on my chest.
"I'm going to miss you......." He sniffled.
"I'm going to miss you too Zane...."
"I wish this moment could last forever."
I blushed a little, "maybe not forever but we can make it feel like it."
"Travis......... I'm really sorry."
"Wait what? Why are you sorry!"
"I'm sorry because....... Well you came all this way and I barely spent time with you. I can't even say goodbye at the airport I just feel so horrible."
"Zane don't beat yourself up over it."
"But still....."
"But still what?"
"I'm sorry I can't say I love you one last time."
"Why can't you?"
"You can't love someone without a heart...."
"Zane..... You loves me before didn't you? You were so happy yet still yourself. You have one of the biggest hearts I've ever seen," I wiped a tear from his eye.
"Travis thank you for everything," he glanced at the clock.
"No thank you for everything. I guess this is goodbye until my next vacation?"
"When's that?"
"A year maybe."
"Oh goodbye then Travis you best be going now anyways. I have work in a little and your flight is soon."
I grabbed my bag and went to the door way about to open it and say goodbye.
"wait! I have one more thing."
"What is it-"
He got on his tippy toes clearly embarrassed as he kissed me gently on the lips. Surprised at the sudden act at first I soon kissed back. I felt my hand down along his arm before we finally linked hands. I used my other arm to pull him closer and deeper into the kiss as he wrapped his arms around my waist. For a moment the world was forgotten. Everything was perfect. But sadly, this moment could not last forever.
He stepped back braking us apart, "Goodbye Travis. Have a nice life."
"....... Goodbye Zane."
With that I left.

Zane's Pov

I washed my haves as my late shift was finally over. It was around 1:00 am. Thus restaurants open 24/6 and I take as many hours as I can get. I walked home the same way as always looking at the clouds which blocked the stars from me. I walked 15 minutes in the cold before fumbling with my keys at the door. Travis left for his bus to the airport at 8:30 am. That's probably the last time I'll ever see him. He's going to meet someone nice there and forget me. Again. Well again again. That made him sound like a jerk. I took my shoes off and curled up as a turned on the tv.
Nothing interesting was on. Rain crashed against my window as I stood up and went to the kitchen. I got a glass of water as I listened to the news from a distance.

"A small accident accrued earlier involving a bus. There were only a few passengers and the bus driver was miraculously unharmed. The bus was headed for the airport. The passengers are not being revealed to the public for now. So now back to John."

The glass of shattering glass is all I heard as I dropped my glass on the floor.

"Travis........"

I couldn't move as I heard the loud bang on my door as if someone had ran into it. I had been to tired to even think about closing the upper floor windows I had left open. I regained control as I ran up the stairs and into the room with an open window. I was immediately blasted with wind. How can weather change so quickly! I ran splattered on my face. The room around me was a mess just like my life. I was able to run over and slam it as another loud bang came to my door. But this one was like a loud knock. I could've cared less. My mind was racked with too many thoughts to describe.
I ran back down stairs to make sure the door was locked. I tripped over the last step sadly and crashed on to the floor. Scraping my arm across the glass I had shattered.
The knocking mouse came again a scrambled to my face with a daze as I made the gutsy move of opening the door to see who was out there or what was what out there.
