Warning: This chapter is VERY short therefore don't be mad at me. I'm sorry I really don't know how to make this chapter longer.

FangPOV
I woke up in the morning with Max clinging my side. Normally I would have ignored it but she started shaking her head, crying, and yelling "No."
"Max," I shook her lightly waking her up.
"Fang, don't leave me!" Max held onto me and burying her face in my chest and crying more.
I didn't know how to respond to her other than just holding onto her. Max pushed away and got out of the bed walking to where her bag sat on the floor she pulled out a pair of jeans then went to my closet and grabbed one of my shirts and sweatshirts. She went into the bathroom and closed the door.
When she came out of the bathroom she left the room as I got out of bed. I pulled on my boot camp uniform and carried my bag out to my truck.
I walked into the house and got hugged by Max immediately. I felt tears run down my face and onto Max's head. Max hugged me tighter and she cried into my shoulder.
At 10 we left the house and started for the military base.
Location: Military Base
MaxPOV
Fang and I stood within the groups of families saying their 'Goodbyes, I love you's, and be safe." We were silent as we stood there holding onto each other.
"Max, I want you to read this when you get home." Fang handed me a sealed letter. I took it and put it in the pocket of the sweatshirt.
"All recruits report to their sleeping quarters immediately." I pulled Fang into a hug and started crying again.
"I'll be okay Max, I promise. Max, I love you." Fang looked me in the eye and kissed me.
"I love you too." I said after we pulled away. Fang backed away slowly and waved before disappearing into the crowd of soldiers.
I stood there for a little while longer hoping he would come back and kiss me again. After a little while longer I headed back to the truck where I burst into tears.
Location: Max's House
I walked into the kitchen where I sat on the counter and pulled out the envelope Fang gave me an hour ago.
Dear Max,
I know you hate crying and you've probably already spent a few hours crying. So I want you to know that I love you and that I'll be fighting to stay alive so I can come home and see your beautiful face. Every day we're closer and closer to seeing each other again. When we came home from the fair that day and you fell and broke your arm I was freaking out because you were unconscious and all I could think was that I didn't want you to leave me. So I know how you must feel about me leaving. When I get back I expect you to be out saving people. My mail address for here is on the envelope and you know my email. I'll be able to check my email on Wednesdays and Saturdays while I'll probably get a letter in a month and you'll probably get my response a month later.
Max, please make sure you stay safe and I'll stay safe too.
Love you a lot,
Fang
It was safe to say I was in tears by the end. I hopped off the counter and I ran to my computer and started writing a letter back to Fang while I continuously wiped stray tears from my eyes.
After I sent Fang my email I texted Iggy asking if he could make me food, his message back to me just told me to come over and have dinner with them.
I stood up, grabbed my jacket and headed out to Ella and Iggy's.
When I arrived Ella came over to me and hugged me tightly, when she let go I could tell she had been crying a little.
"Dinner's ready guys." Iggy came out and handed Ella and me a bowl of soup.
We ate in silence and watched the movie Pitch Prefect.
Later That Night
I went back home and was lying in bed holding Fang's pillow to my chest as I cried trying to fall asleep. By the way, I totally didn't steal Fang's pillows from his house.
FangPOV
I leaned back against the cement wall with my laptop resting on my legs. I opened my email and started typing out a letter to my mom and siblings. I put my ear buds not wanting to hear the guys fighting over the bunks. I started listening to a playlist Max had made me. I heard my email alert go off and I minimized my start of the message to my family.
I smiled seeing the email was from Max; opening it I started reading the message as if Max was talking to me.
Fang,
You're very right about how long I've spent crying but that's not the point. The point is I'm going to have to try to get used to when it's Sunday night when I'm over and not hearing you yelling at the TV as if all the players could hear you. Or waking up in the morning and not being able to roll over and see you smiling (or what you call smiling) at me, when I fall asleep at your house.
On a happier –kind of– note, since I can't cook Iggy's going to start teaching me how to cook more than just cereal. I've also signed up for paramedic classes so then maybe when your back I'll have my license.
Ella's dragging me shopping soon so I should be trying to hide from going into stores other than Hot Topic.
I'm about to go to Ella and Iggy's for dinner so I should probably go.
Love you,
Max
I smiled at the thought of Iggy teaching Max how to cook while he's dressed as a chef. Re-opening my letter to my family I wrapped up my letter and sent it.
I slid the laptop into the bag and lay back on my cot trying to fall asleep.
That's the chapter, I'm sorry for it being so short but it's actually longer than I thought it'd be.
