Jaz POV
Our deployment had just ended. We were all getting a 6 months leave back stateside or wherever we wanted. Preach was excited to go home to his wife and girls. McG was going back to visit with his mom on the ranch. He was even bringing Hannah with him for a month. Amir was heading to hang with his family the back to Virginia. Adam was going home to his sister's then to his cabin on the lake. Me on the other hand. I had no clue. I didn't really have family to go home to. This place on base felt like home and now I have to leave it for 6 months. I don't really have a place either. When I'm on leave I just rent a place last time it was a beach house in Florida. This time it's a cabin on the lake in Minocqua Wisconsin.
I'm finishing packing when I hear a knock on my bedroom door. I look up to see Adam standing there. "hey need any help" he asks. "thanks but I'm almost done." I say trying to smile. He Sense something's off and walks over to me. "you know it's going to be okay it's only 6 months" he says "yeah 6 months to long." I say "I thought you were getting better with the nightmares" he says taking a seat on my bed. I toss aside what I'm doing and join him. "Yeah that's here. I have no clue how I'm going to do back stateside. This is home. I feel more comfortable here than anywhere else." I say trying not to tear up. "Where are you staying this time?." He asks me. "Small cabin in Wisconsin. It's right on the lake." I say "cabin nice choice" he says "yeah I wanted something different but still with water." I say going back to packing. "well I'll let you get back to packing I have to go drop Amir off at the airport. He told me you already said your good byes to him." He says getting up off the bed. "Yeah we did he knew I needed to finish packing. Ill see you when you get back maybe we could grab a bite to eat be for we leave." I say "Yeah sounds good" he says leaving

I had just finished talking with Jaz when I had to take Amir to the airport. "You ready to go man" I ask him as he was loading up his stuff into the truck. "Yeah all set. I'm excited to finally get so leave." Amir says. "yeah I hear yah we all could use it. I'm just worried how Jaz is going to handle it." I say a we get the truck and drive off. "isn't she doing better." He asks me "yeah that's what I thought. But you know Jaz she likes to act tough and like everything is alright even when I might not be." I say "true. Let me know of there's anything I can do to help her. I know we started off Rocky at first but she's grown on me." He says with a smile. "will do maybe we could all do a get together over our time off." I say as we turn into the airport. I parked the car in front of arrivals and help unload Amir's bags. "hey man have a good flight. Let me know when you land. So I know you're safe." I say as I shake his had goodbye. "will do and let me know about Jaz I don't mind flying to wherever she's going to be staying to keep her company." He says as he turns to walk away. "sure thing. See you later." I say hoping back in the truck to go back to base.
Once back at base I have an two hours before Jaz and I leave for the airport. We are lucky out first flight is together before we head off to our sperate places. McG and Preach left this morning. On an earlier flight. I plan on taking Jaz to dinner at the airport I know it's not the best place but it's at least something for us to eat before out long flight back.
