Hello! I've decided to shout out to some reviewers every Author's Note (like I'll do with all my other stories)! So my shout out is to Gliese Pixel, and Edward'sBella21! Thank you so much for the reviews!

Chapter 14 of Time

"Bella?" Edward shook me awake. I opened my eyes slowly, and saw him leaning over top of me. He was standing up, beside my bed. I smiled at him, and he smiled back.

"I have to go catch my plane," My smiled faded as soon as I saw his Army uniform.

"Do you have to?" I groaned, and got out of bed.

"Yes I have to," He chuckled. I got dressed quickly, and put my hair in a loose bun. I turned around, to an awaiting Edward, and we walked hand in hand to the front door. Alice and Rose were there waiting, with sad smiles on their faces. Jasper and Emmett were going to meet us at the airport. We walked to my car, and got it. Rose and Alice sat in the front seats, while Edward and I sat in the back, for a little alone time.

But we never said anything. We didn't have to. We know that the hard part is coming up, and we were getting prepared for it. We sat there with our hands tangled together resting in between us. We arrived at the airport, and all of us got out. Alice and Rose went ahead of us, while we slugged behind holding hands. We got inside the airport, but we had to say goodbye there, because of security. I saw Rose and Alice standing next to Jasper and Emmett.

"Well, we should say bye now, and let them have their moment," Alice said, and gave Edward a hug, and a kiss on both cheeks.

"I'm going to miss you, bro. Stay safe,"

"I'll try. I'll miss you too," He said and she pulled away to let Rose say goodbye.

"I'll miss you. Until next time, goodbye Eddie," She smiled and gave him a hug.

"You know I hate when you call me that," He smiled softly. "But I'll miss you anyway."

Emmett stepped up in front of him. "Hey man. Don't get yourself killed, and come back to your girlfriend and your friends." He gave Edward one of those weird man hugs.

"Thanks for the advice." Edward laughed.

"Hurry up and get back, so we don't have to listen to Bells be sad all the time." Jasper smiled and gave him a man hug.

"I'll try to be back as soon as possible." He gave him a small smile.

"Well, we'll leave you two alone." Alice pulled them away from us, so we could have alone time. I turned toward him, and was holding both of his hands.

"I hate having to go through this once, let alone twice." I looked down at the floor.

"But you won't have to go through it ever again." He put his finger under my chin, and lifted my face up toward him. "This is my last term I have to go through." I grinned up at him.

"I'll miss you." I whispered, looking in his deep green eyes.

"I'll miss you more." He pressed his lips to mine lightly. "I love you."

"I love you, too." I leaned my forehead on his.

"Goodbye, love." He whispered, and pulled his forehead back.

"Goodbye, E." I whispered back, and let him walk, through security. He made it to the guard, asking for his ID. While the guard looked at it, he looked up at me with sad eyes, and a sad smile on his face. I felt a tear fall down my face. I wiped it away and waved at him, with a sad smile. He waved back. The security guard gave him his ID back and Edward turned around away from me, for the next 6 months.

I stood in the same spot for ten minutes, staring at the gate, with tears running down my face. After the tears slowed down, I walked out to my car with my arms folded over my chest. Rose and Alice must have ridden with Emmett and Jasper, so I had the whole car ride home to cry. I sobbed as I drove out of the parking lot. I wiped away my tears, as soon as I pulled up to the condo.

I walked in, and everyone was standing around the island in the kitchen. They had worried looks on their faces as I put my purse down on the counter.

"Hey." Alice sighed.

"Hi." I said, softly.

"How are you doing?" Jasper asked. He stood at the counter with his arms out in front of him, pushing out against the island.

I shrugged, because I couldn't find my to say anything. My throat burned in the back of my throat. I felt the sob coming up from my chest, but I had to stay strong in front of them.

"Bella, you are not okay." Rose butted in.

"I'm perfectly fine." I managed to get out, finding my voice again.

"No you're not." Emmett argued back.

"Do you expect me to be alright?" I let the tears fall. It didn't matter anymore. "My boyfriend got shipped way for six more months, and the only way I can talk to him is through the mail. Which, in case you have noticed, takes like three days to deliver each way. And each one of you guys has their boyfriends or girlfriends standing right next to them, not worrying if they will get home alright. And on top of all that, I don't know if he's going to make it out alive. He doesn't even know if he's going to stay alive. And that might have been the last time I'll ever see him. So I'm sorry if I can't be okay, and not live up to your standards." I yelled.

"Bella, we're sorry."

"No, Alice. Save it. I know you're just saying that so I can go back to being your normal friend. Sorry, but I'm not going to be normal, until my boyfriend comes back with not a scratch on him." I threw my arms in the air, as they stared at me in shock.

"Well, what do you want me to do? Bring Edward back here? Sorry, Bella, but that won't happen. We're not telling you if you're okay or not. Because believe me, we know that your not okay. You don't have to yell it us." Alice yelled back.

"Actually I do. For you to get it. And I wasn't asking you that. I just want my friends here to support me, and not argue with me about if I'm okay or not. I know what I am." I rose my voice louder.

"We are trying to support you, but you're making it a little difficult for us to even attempt to." Rose stood next to Alice.

"Oh, now it's my fault? It's always my fault." My voice went a little softer, but not much.

"Bella. Stop talking. You're going to do something you'll regret." Jasper stepped up.

"Bossy much? You could ask nicely." I smirked, and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Please, Bella, just shut the hell up." Emmett wrapped his arms around Rose.

"You don't know how it feels. None of you do! Try having half of your heart being ripped away from your chest, and taken across the whole world. Or try having to live with you guys, being all 'love dovey' with your boyfriends, rubbing it in my face." I directed the last part toward Rose and Alice. "So, don't tell me to 'shut the hell up'."

They all looked like there was steam coming out of their ears.

"Just go. Leave! I don't want to listen to any more of this." Alice pointed toward the door. "Go!" She yelled. I ran out of the kitchen, and up the stairs to my room. I slammed the door closed, and threw myself on the bed. I dug my face in my pillow, and cried myself to sleep.

Will they make up? I don't know...
