The Most Painful Part of Love

The last day was finally coming to an end, Stella agreed with Lindsay and that Danny can come visit Danny once every two weeks if they wanted to so Stella wouldn't be completely alone for the six months Mac and her weren't together.

"Well Mac, in a few hours we'll be going our different ways, for quite some time," Stella sighs and Mac pulls her close.

"No matter how far apart we live, you will still be in my heart."

"Mac, I love you, and that's all that matters."

"I love you too, I can never, ever love someone as much as I love you."

"I guess I gotta go back to hotel and get me and Lindsay situated for tomorrow and then Danny will drive us back here, and we can stay until we have to leave."

"That sounds good, it's just hard to realize that we've only known each other for a week and we already have strong feelings for each other."

"I know, that's strange it usually takes me months to get to know the person and really love them, but the relationship never gets that far."

"I get what your saying Stella, they're probably waiting, you go get done what you need and hurry back. I'll be right here waiting just for you, okay?"

Stella nods and gave him a quick kiss, "I'll miss you."

"I know your only going to be gone for a few but without you here it will feel like an eternity."

Stella's eyes start getting watery, "You really do love me," she smiles and gave him a quick kiss this time on the lips, Mac never wanted to let go but he knew if she didn't leave soon it'll only make things harder.

"Like I said I'll be right here," he let go of her and Stella walked over to the car.

"You ready now Stella? We'll be back in like ten minutes, you know we didn't unpack anything."

"Yeah I know, let's just hurry back before I break."

Danny put the car on and they go and actually come back quicker than all of them thought.

Mac was standing outside when they came back. Stella rushed up to Mac and gave him a hug.

"Hey babe, you must of missed me."

"More than you know," Stella smiles and kisses his cheek. "I love you."

"I love you more," Mac smiles.

"Don't be so sure about that," Stella teases and pulls him closer and kisses him right below the ear.

"Stel…la, you know that's a sensitive spot."

"Oh really," she grins. "I find you very sexy Mac…" she whispers in his ear and then adds, "Wanna go in your bedroom?"

"I like the sound of that," Mac blushes and he leads her inside and to his bedroom. He locks the door and sits down on his bed, and Stella sits on his lap wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Make love to me Mac."

"Are you sure Stella, remember what you told me a few days ago?"

"Mac, when I woman like me wants to have sex with a sexy guy like you, you don't deny it."

"I was um… just making sure you were…" he was stopped when Stella kissed him. She pushes him back on the bed and she starts kissing his neck.

"Oh Stella," he moans just as her hands slipped down below his waist. She stops and looks at him.

"Give me all you got," Stella grins and they start "getting it on."

A few hours later Stella fell asleep in Mac's arms naked and breathing slowly.

"I don't ever want to let you go," he looks at Stella and kisses her nose and she scrunched it up. "You are so adorable," he grinned at Stella and snuggled closer to her and he fell asleep.

************

A few more hours passed and the sun just started to rise at 5:30, and Mac had to get ready to go, but he rather stay with her until she left.

He was deep in thought, when he felt her move.

"Morning handsome," she grins.

"Morning Stella," he sighs.

"Hun, what's wrong?" she asked and sat up.

"I don't want you to go, that's all."

"It'll be okay Mac, you should take a shower," she grins wanting to change the subject.

"Only if you join me."

"Um… I rather you go by yourself."

"Come on Stella I want to spend every second left with you, please?"

"If you insist, let me just grab my clothes," she got up and they both got a pair of clothes to change in. Mac turns on the water and Stella locks the door. They take turns washing each others hair. Mac was surprised they actually took a shower without making out.

He steps out and dries off and gives the towel to Stella as he gets dressed. It was 6:30 when they got done, all they needed to do now was chill.

"Don't you have to leave in an hour?"

"Can we try not to talk about leaving, it'll make our last minutes together very painful."

"I know, and I'm sorry," Stella frowns and hugs him.

An hour later Mac took Stella outside and Lindsay and Danny came along. Mac's ride just pulled up, and he couldn't take a step because Stella wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Well, I guess this is it," Stella frowns her eyes starting to water.

"We gotta stay strong, Stell, I know this is going to be hard on you, but I promise six months will go just like that."

"I sure hope so," Stella sighs, and they kissed one last time, neither wanting to release, but Stella pulled back and frowned. "See you in six months I guess, unless I die from being away from you first."

"I love you Stella, just keep that in mind and it'll keep you going strong."

She nods, "I love you too Mac," she smiled and Mac put his hand on her cheek and Stella touched his hand with hers.

"Good bye Stella, my love, I'll be seeing you," he nods and they release. And their hands let go and Mac walked over to his ride, and he looks back and waves to them and he blew Stella a kiss and she waved back, and Mac got into the car.

The car drove off, and Mac took the paper with Stella's address out of his pocket and into his hands and then started to cry.

This has to be the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

Stella watched the car leave and then her eyes finally released her tears and they seemed like they couldn't stop coming.

"I can't believe he's gone just like that," she cried and then Lindsay pulled Stella near her and gave her a hug.

"I know it's hard for you, but trust me, he's not going to be gone for good."

"I know, it's just painful seeing him go, I wanna be alone for a while before we have to go," Stella sighs and wipes her tears and heads inside and into Mac's room, and she pulled up the covers and sniffed his pillow.

I'm going to miss that man. I love him and no other man will EVER replace what we have. He's the only guy who can ever own my heart… Stella sighs, This is going to be a long six months. I don't think I can take the pain. I wish he never had to leave… I love him so much, I just want him back already.

So yes the end of the chapter was a little depressing sorry I had to do that to ya (and trust me I started to cry), but it'll get happier, and only I know what's gonna happen, I'm not telling anyone until they read, so if you have a suggestion what I have planned take your best shot :D
