A/N: While writing this I'm watching TRL and I just found out AJ is an alcoholic! I thought they broke up! I guess were not all that lucky. Oh well sorry for all you BSB fans and I'm not going to be an ass and go haha, cuz alcoholism is really serious I have a bunch of family members who are alcoholics and it's sad. Well enough with this here's another chapter.
Kirsten McCawley and Danny Walker lay under the stars in between the tall, full corn plants. The warm summer sky was filled with a glorious show of lightening bugs circling around their heads. The sweet aromas of flowers were faint from where they were. But in their minds the gap in the wilting buggy field of corn was the romantic place in the world.
"Danny?" Kirsten asked still looking up at the sky.
"What?" he responded.
"What is to happen to us when you leave for the army?"
"I don't know, maybe you'll visit every so often. And we can write to each other, every thing will be the same. Except we won't be together everyday."
"Danny, the closest training camp is Mitchell Field!" Kirsten sighed, "that's like 600 miles away!"
Danny sat up and looked at her, "I know," he said excitedly, "Come with me!"
"I don't know how to fly! And besides girls aren't allowed in the army!" She sat up looking at him.
"No silly! You can be a nurse! They're stationed near Albany and that ain't that far."
"But I don't think I'm very good at cleaning people up and stuff."
"Aw, come on you can do it! It's easy. Besides," he said rubbing noses with her, "it will keep us together."
She smiled ruffling his hair in her fingers, "Okay," she said.
"So what now?" he asked rolling on top of her.
"Well I have to turn 18," she said rolling him off of her and standing up.
Danny sighed as he got up and followed, "wait for me!" He shrieked chasing her to the door.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The day Rafe and Danny got their acceptance letters into the army was the day after Kirsten's 18th birthday. The day they would leave would be a month before Kirsten would. Rafe and Danny wanted to be officers and the easiest was for them was the officers candidate school. They were always the types to boss people around rather than being bossed.
The cool fall air was crisp in Mid-November and it wasn't cool enough to keep the two young men home.
Kirsten held Rafe in a tight hug, "now you be careful!" She told him as the tears began to trickle down her cheeks.
"I will, I will," he responded with a giggle.
"Do what they say."
"All right, for you."
"And before you fall in love again do a background check, we don't want another Marla incident."
Rafe lightly giggled again, "maybe you should set me up, you know since I've got such bad taste an all."
"I'll miss you!"
"Yeah me too, but I'll see you in a month, right?"
"Yep, a month," she said hugging him tighter.
Rafe ruffled her hair a bit, "Bye," he said as he got into the cab.
Danny walked up to her as he hugged her. "I'm gonna miss you so much!" Kirsten said, her tears falling more rapidly.
"Don't miss me," he said pulling her hair behind her ears.
"Why?" She asked her face confused.
"You're acting like we're saying good bye, like we'll never see each other again, but we will! Kirsten I wanna spend the rest of my life with you! I love you so much," he sighed, "I'll see you later."
"I love you too, so yeah later."
He then kissed her softly and shortly, "Now that wasn't a good bye kiss, it was a see ya later kiss."
"I didn't know see ya later kisses still made your knees weak," Kirsten said softly.
And with that the two most important people in her life had left her, sure she would see them again. But those 31 days would be the longest loneliest days in her life.
