» CHAPTER SEVENTEEN «

At about eleven am the alarm clock went off and AJ woke up. He rolled over to see Rachael still asleep. He decided to let Rachael sleep a little longer so he went and got in the shower and finished packing his stuff. He looked at the clock it was noon and they had to be at the airport at one thirty so he went and sat down next to her. He rubbed her back and kissed her forehead till she woke up.

"What time is it?" She asked still more than half asleep.

"It's noon. You got to get up sweetie." He told her rubbing her back again. Rachael grunted and groaned and dragged her sleepy corps to the bathroom and turned on the shower. "Man it's my spring break and I'm getting up early. He is lucky I love him so much." She growled as she got in the shower.

When they got to the airport Kevin and his girlfriend Jamie were the only ones missing. Rachael and AJ sat in the chair and waited for the flight. Rachael had a grip on his hand and did not want to let go. When Kevin and Jamie got there it was time to get on the plain. Rachael was in tears she did not want to be apart from AJ.

"Baby don't cry." AJ told her as he wiped her face with his hand

"I can't help it." She told him as she pressed her forehead against his. "I don't want to say good-bye."

"It's not good-bye it's just see you later." AJ told her trying to keep a smile on his face. "It is just one month and I will call you every day."

"I know." She told him "One month that's it I can do this." She looked up at him and gave him a smile "I will be marking the days."

"Yeah on one part of the wall put little cuts like in jail." AJ joked.

Rachael laughed and gave him a kiss. "I love you!"

"AJ man we got to go." Brian told him.

"Ok man I'm coming." AJ told him looking back. AJ looked back at Rachael and wiped the tears away.

"Well this is good. I mean see you later." Rachael told him.

"That's right one month that's it." AJ assured her "I love you." H gave her another kiss and a hug and left for the plain. Rachael did not want to let go. She stood there as AJ boarded the plain with her arm crossed. As AJ gave the lady his ticket he turned around and waved good-bye to Rachael and blew her a kiss. Rachael acted like she grabbed the kiss and waved good-bye to AJ and walked him walk into the plain. Rachael stood there and watched the plain take off.

A week had gone bye since AJ left and all Rachael did was mope around they house. It was the day before Justin left to go back to school. Rachael was on the couch watching TV when Justin grabbed the remote.

"Hey!" She snapped.

"All I have seen you do the past week is sit around and sulk." Justin told her "Now get up we are going out."

"Why?"

"Cause its my last day in town and all we have done is sit around." Justin told her "Now go get ready." Rachael got up and walked upstairs

That day Justin and Rachael went to the movies and shopping and dinner at their favorite restaurant McDonalds. When they got done with dinner Justin had her stop by Brittany's so he could say good-bye to her.

"Brittany will you do me a favor take care of her she only has two weeks three days and 11 hours before she leaves." Justin told her.

"Is some one counting?" Brittany joked

"Yeah Rachael is." Justin gave Brittany a hug "Keep her busy."

"I will don't worry." Brittany whispered in his ear. "School starts on Monday so she will be busy with that."

"Thank you!" Justin told her as he got in the car.

"Have a safe flight tomorrow." Brittany told him as she gave him a hug threw the window.
