"Heyyy." I said, walking up to Beck. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him into a hug.

"Guess this is it. You two will be getting on the plane soon and we won't see you for a few months." Cat said, wrapping her arms around herself. She looked really sad. None of us were, this was a sad moment. I think so at least, not sure about Jade or Robbie. I glanced at both of them and say that they were talking to André.

"Ahh...We'll be back in no time." Beck said, giving Cat a hug.

I smiled a little. "How long did you enlist or?"

"Eighteen months. That's if I don't re-enlist." Beck said. He scratched the back of his head, I knew he missed his hair. I missed his hair, but it was one of the requirements of joining the army. Most the guys shave their heads, which is what Beck did.

"Re-enlist? Why would you want to do that?" Cat asked.

I rolled my eyes. "Some people just do. They like what they do." Beck answered.

"Oh okay." Cat said, walking over towards André. Guess she was going to say good-bye to him. I glanced at my cell phone and saw that twelve minutes have passed.

I looked up and locked eyes with Beck. "I really wish we had more time." I said.

Beck nodded. "I know. It seems like just yesterday that I was telling you that I joined the army. We had a lot of fun this summer, certainly left a mark on the town." He smiled. I laughed a little. That was true, every day we were doing something new and exciting. We even got in trouble by the police a few times, though it was never anything serious. Everyone in town knew us because of the trouble we'd cause or get into. I hope that I'll be able to come home next summer, and maybe we'll all be able to hang out. It could be a tradition. "What's on your mind?"

"I was thinking about how we could try to make a summer tradition. You know, everyone tries to come home for a few weeks. I know you and André will most likely have a harder time than Robbie, Jade, Cat and I."

"But it's worth a try." Beck said.

I nodded. I felt my eyes start to tear up. "Don't make a promise. We'll understand why you two won't be able to come home for the summers, but at least try." I said, wiping my eyes.

Beck put his right hand on my cheek. "We'll try. Never know what to expect with the army." He kissed me on the lips.

"Hey Vega."

I turned around to find Jade waving me over to her. "I'll be right back." I said. Jade is such a spoil sport. I ran a hand through my long hair and then crossed my arms over my chest. "Yeah?"

"Has it hit you yet?"

I glanced back at Beck, he was talking to André and Robbie now. "Yeah it has." I wasn't going to lie, it can't be that hard to realize that I've been crying. "How's Cat doing?"

"She won't stop crying. Which I find ironic since their not going to war, their heading to basic training. We'll see them in a few months." Jade said, crossing her arms over her chest. I should have guessed that was going to be her answer. Jade rarely shows her soft side, but she does have one. I've seen it a couple of times.

"Be more understanding. We've hung out nonstop all summer. we weren't ready, even though we knew it was going to happen." I said, taking a few steps back. I glanced over my shoulder and saw that it was almost time for Beck and André to board the plane. How does time go by so fast?

"Almost time to go Beck." André said, as they joined Jade and I.

"Yep."

I wrapped my arms around Beck's neck. "I know you won't be able to as much, but promise to at least write." I felt my eyes start to tear up again; I'm sure a cry baby.

"I promise. I'm sure André will be writing too."

I nodded. "Kay." I said, taking a step back. I locked eyes with him, and then gently kissed him. I wasn't a hundred percent sure if we were official yet, especially since I confessed my feelings for Beck just last night. I didn't care at the moment, that was something we could talk about later. "Don't let them give you a hard time." Beck chuckled.

"Alright you two. Tori isn't the only one who wants to say bye." Jade said, placing a hand on my shoulder. I took a step back, allowing Jade to give Beck a hug.

I turned to André and hugged him. "Be safe." I whispered.

André scoffed. "I'm sure we'll both be able to handle boot camp. We'll be sore for the first few weeks, but we'll live." He said. I chuckled and took a step back, and was nearly taken out by Cat when she plowed into André. Apparently she couldn't wait to give him a hug, not that I blamed her. I glanced at my cell phone and saw that it was one forty. "Beck we gotta get on the plane, otherwise we'll miss it."

Beck nodded. "See you guys in a few months."

I wanted to say don't leave, but I knew better. I just nodded, and jumped a little when I felt a hand on my back. "We're all in this together. Your not alone." Jade said. Well that was a nice thing for her to say. We watched as Beck and André disappeared on to the boarding bridge. I walked over towards the huge window, so that way I can watch the airplane leave. I remember when I was younger I found it the most interesting thing, but now I'm going to watching with a heavy heart.

"If your going to start crying, guess now would be the time to start." Jade said, she was standing next to me.

"That's not something I can just turn on and off." Well technically I can, but I prefer not too.

Jade scoffed. "Cat's a natural at it. She's bawling."

I glanced at Cat, she was crying but not very hard. I smiled a little. "It's alright Cat, it's a normal reaction to cry when someone is leaving." I said, looking at Jade.

"I think that's the plane." She pointed at a plane that was getting ready to leave.

I nodded. "Yeah, do we really want to watch the plane leave or can we just go?" I asked, my voice cracked a little. I knew I was on the verge of crying, and Jade most likely will give me a hard time. I glanced at Jade and realized that she was starting to cry. Guess she's not as strong as she was claiming to be.

"We don't need to watch." Robbie said, rubbing my back. He was the only one who wasn't crying and that was a huge surprise.

"How do you think things will be?" I asked, looking at him.

He shrugged. "Things will be weird at first, but eventually things will go back to normal. Not that it'd matter, we're all going to be leaving for college soon anyways."

I nodded in agreement. "Come on guys." Jade said, giving me a gentle push. I glanced at her and then followed Robbie towards the exit, guess we were leaving. Part of me didn't want to leave just yet, but part of me did. I wish school was preparing to start-up, because then I wouldn't have to go home. I knew it was going to be really weird not seeing Beck and André every day.

Not sure about this one...
Okay I'm wondering should I end the story here or continue on?
I tried to remember how I felt when my brother left for basic training; truth be told...It didn't hit me until I got home. Same thing with my older sister; didn't hit me until I got home.
