Home Run

Prologue:

"Hey, don't cry" he said gently, wiping the a tear from my eyes "please don't cry" he looked down at me and smiled, to everyone else but me it would seem genuine, but to me it was anything but. He didn't want to show it but he was dreading this moment as much as me, or possibly even more.

I reached up and ran my hand down his cheek gently, so gently, afraid that if I touched him any harder he might shatter and disappear, destroying my last moments with him.

"Then don't leave" I whispered, my voice breaking at the end, because of the fresh tears that were about to spill from my eyes.

I grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him against me, burring my head in his chest just as the tears started flowing. Wrapping his arms around me he held me closer and rested his head over mine, just as I started sobbing again.

"You know that I can't stay Lexi" he whispered in my ear "as much as I wish that I could, I can't, you know that" he didn't have to say the words, I already knew that he had to go, and I've known that this moment was going to come sooner or later, but I had foolishly hoped that things where going to turn out differently.

We were standing just outside departures, clinging to each other like love sick idiots and making a big scene in front of all the other people around us. I could hear the impatience of some of them, who were getting annoyed with us, because we were standing in the middle of the corridor, but honestly, they could walk around us for all I cared.

"Three o'clock flight to Sydney boarding now, three o'clock flight to Sydney boarding now" a woman's voice repeated over the loud speaker and I stiffened, my whole body going rigid. Even though I knew that I could visit him any time I wanted, him being roughly an hour away by plane, I still didn't want him to go. Because I knew, even if we both tried our hardest, things won't be the same.

He pulled back and looked down at me, our eyes having a silent conversation, the only conversation possible at this moment, because if we had one aloud one of us would start crying again.

He sighed "I have to go" he grabbed my face in his hands and kissed me gently on the lips then pulled back before things went further. Now it was my turn to sigh, but this time in disappointment.

Letting me go he began walking away from me, towards his gate, and towards the plane that would take him away from me, and achieving something that no one else was able to do. Separating us. I took a deep breath and willed my legs to stay put and not run in his direction, but I was concentrating on the wrong part of my body, because my lips decided to move on their own accord and they yelled his name, making sure they could be heard over all the noise from the busy airport.

"Travis!" Hearing his name he turned around and locked eyes with me, my eyes were beginning to water again and my voice betrayed me, making my one word come out silent. My lips moving without any sound.

"Stay" they mouthed. But Logan understood and after the longest moment of my life, even though it was probably only a few seconds, he replied.
