Okay so this is song fic. I LOVE this song, so listen to it when you read :) The stroy is based of the song, not the other way round.

If I Leave

A Day to Remember

In the beginning I was up front
Nothing to think about, you'd always hear me out
We made a pact to never give up
When everything would change, we'd always stay the same

She always listened. Always, never asked questions. She was my main supporter always helped me, told me everything would be okay. I loved her for it. She was like my angel, I thought she would be there.

I often was gone on long missions, gone from her, from my friends. I remember when Bex went on a mission and didn't come back for two years. When she got back, Grant had moved on, found someone else. Everyone around us were changing. Liz went to go live in Colorado for a great job offer. Jonas went with her. Macey got pregnant and we have to help her out. No matter how different things became, we never changed.

Something went wrong along the way
You'd come around and there's nothing left to say
It's like we're strangers anyway, what more could you ask of me
It's been a long time coming, but everyones gonna hear me now

Then it happened. One drunken night ruined it all. I suppose you could say it was my fault. I'd gotten you pissed off about something, and she'd stormed off. I didn't know where at the time. Then she came back to the apartment, drunk. With Josh. I could tell she'd already done something with him, her lips were swollen as were his. I kicked him out before he could do anything you'd regret, I was mad to say the least.

"Zach," she had said. "I want to be with Josh, I'm tired of you. I think we should break up anyways."

The next morning when she woke up I could hear her apologizing, but it didn't seem to register in my brain. All I could remember was her kissing him good bye. I didn't even listen to what she had to say. So when the director offered me a blackout mission, I took it. To get away from her. She had said she wanted to break up, maybe it was for the best. She'd hurt me enough. My angel had fallen.

All of our friends begged me to stay, saying it was a mistake. Cammie never did though, but that might have been because I never told her I was leaving.

If I leave, bet you'll wish I'd stayed
Make you regret all the things you said to me
You know that time can't help us now,
If I leave this, if I leave this way.

Maybe if it was like this she'd regret it. She would regret asking me to leave. It didn't matter though, this was a mission I wouldn't come back from. And if I did, maybe the time away would be good for us.

Maybe I'd come back and we could rewrite our lives together. Start over. Maybe I could forgive her.

I've always been a man of action,
Never let anything keep ahold of me
Can always tell when somethings missing,
Like I knew everything except for you and me
I can't make you want to stay, I'll take a shot but it's broken anyway
I still gave it everything, I guess I never catch my break
It's been a long time coming, but everyones gonna hear me now

I was usually the one who made mistakes. The one who always had to beg her for forgiveness. I guess things really do change. I could always tell when something was wrong, and I'd go fix it.

If I leave, bet you'll wish I'd stayed

Make you regret all the things you said to me
You know that time can't help us now,
You know that time can't help us now,
if I leave I should move away,
and try to right all the wrongs we've ever made

well let your problems weight me down
If I leave this, if I leave this way.

Never did it occur to me that we'd be the last ones to break up. I never thought we'd ever break up actually. Some how I knew you'd be watching me, telling me what to do, somewhere, somehow. You were my angel.

Never thought you'd be the last one standing
Never thought that we would come this far
You'll always be there looking over my shoulder
Come to terms with exactly what we are

I was at the airport when I hear it. "ZACH!"
I saw Cammie running full on towards me. With bed hair, and her pajamas still on, fuzzy slippers and all. I almost smiled at her appearance.

"Zach," she whimpered, finally reaching me. "Don't go. I'm sorry I was drunk, I didn't mean it," she said, tears streaming down her cheeks. I hated to see her like this.
"I have to go."

"No. You don't, your only going because of what I did, what I said. Zach please don't go, not like this."

If I leave, bet you'll wish I'd stayed
Make you regret all the things you said to me
You know that time can't help us now,
You know that time can't help us now,
if I leave I should move away,

and try to right all the wrongs we've ever made
well let your problems weight me down,
If I leave this, if I leave this way.

"Cam, I'm going," when she opened her mouth to speak he put his hands to her lips. "I'm leaving. But I'll come back. I promise." he kissed her long and hard, before he heard the last call for his flight. She hugged him tightly before whispering her goodbyes in his ears.

"I love you," was the last thing she said to him before he left her to get on that flight.

Never thought you'd be the last one standing
Never thought that we would come this far
You'll always be there looking over my shoulder
If I leave this, if I leave this way.
