Chapter Fifty Seven- More Goodbyes than Hellos

"Please don't leave" I whispered helplessly.

Tom's arms where wrapped around my neck, holding me to his chest, as mine where wrapped around his waist, my fingers fiddling with the strings of his back pack. We were in the airport, in a few minutes he would board- leaving me here.

He rested his head on mine lightly as he chuckled "You keep saying that even though you know that it doesn't make a difference"

I leaned back so that I could look into his beautiful stormy blue eyes. "But I want you to know that I don't want you to leave" I said choking up; tears crept down my face silently.

He cupped my cheek, brushing away the tears with his rough thumb. I leaned my head into his hand loving the warmth that erupted in my stomach and closed my eyes peacefully.

He took in a shaky breath "I want you to promise me something"

My eyes fluttered opened drowning in his sad ones. "Anything" I whispered

"Promise me that we are going to be alright, that this isn't goodbye forever...just for a little while?" He asked looking like he was in pain, as he continued to caresses my cheek.

I hugged him to me tightly, not wanting to let go, never wanting to let go. "I promise" I said into his chest.

We broke apart and he smiled sadly with tears forming in his eyes as they called his plane.I sniffled and he let out a small chuckle.

He kissed me sweetly, moving our lips in synchronization slowly, savoring the moment, before his lips left mine making them turn a bitter cold. He rested his forehead on mine, looking into my eyes as I looked into his. He brushed some of the hair away from my face as I tried to smile.

Then he held my hands placing them on his chest. I could feel the warm heart beat pumping through his t-shirt. He hummed peacefully. "I'll love you Cassandra Mary Dean until the day I die"

I smiled letting out a small sob. "I-I love you too"

With shaky hands he lifted up my right hand, and removed the golden band from my ring finger, and then he let my right hand fall to my side and held my left in both of his hands. He slowly slid the ring onto my ring finger, smiling "One day" he promised.

He backed away a few steps. He swallowed, sighed, and then kissed the ring on my finger, before letting it go.

I slowly brought it closer to me, and waved goodbye as the tears flew down my cheeks like endless rain drops.

He got on the plane and left. I stood there in the almost empty air port, hugging his sweatshirt close to my body.

It was nine o'clock when I started to see familiar sights on the road. The tears hand ended, leaving me to my misery. I felt horrible, depressed, and empty. He took part of me with him, leaving a defining whole.

I sighed as I stopped at a red light, wanting to crawl into my bed under the covers and fall asleep for two months.

The street lights where on, shinning down on the dark wet pavement. Many cars were stopped at my sides. Many cars were in front of my eyes. But even though I was surrounded by the bystanders of the town, I felt irrevocably alone.

My phone buzzed in my cup holder. I snapped out of my daze and flipped the phone open holding it up to my ear as the blood red light flashed to green.

"Hello?" I asked weakly, only now noticing how pathetic I sounded.

"Cas? What's wrong?" Taylor said on the other end, sounding concerned.

"Nothing really" I said lying sparing her the story of my lamentable love life.
