Good-bye Hector

Ariel's POV

My alarm was blaring as it ripped me from my peaceful slumber. I looked over to see that it was the godawful hour off 4 a.m. To make matters worse today was the day Hector left to be stationed over in Australia, for the next 10 months and I honestly don't know what I going to do without him.

A deep sadness washed over my body only for a moment, then Hector rose up from the duvet, " Ariel come lay down and sleep with me." He said in the most adorable morning voice, I'm going to miss that. I felt like I was being stabbed with a knife.

" Hector we have to get up, it takes two hours to get to the airport and it's 4:10 now, and you mister have to be there by 7 so that means we only have 50 minutes to get ready to get your a*s up!" I huffed.

I heard a deep laugh from underneath the duvet that gave me goosebumps all up and down my body, " Hector I'm being serious! Please get up!" He got out for underneath the duvet and looked at me very serious like, " Ariel I love you." I looked at him and took in his big brown eyes, his darker complexion, his hair and how it was cut shorter on the sides, and I replied back, " I love you too Hector, now get you a*s up and brush your teeth or something, morning breath isn't the best babe." I winked at him.

While he went to the bathroom to do his thing, I picked out what I was to wear. I picked some lightwash skinny jeans with a navy blue tank top, and my black and white converse he got me some Christmases ago. I smiled at the memory.

When he was done, he came out and I went in and sleeked back my died red hair into a high bun and secured it with a hair tie and many bobby pins. After that I add the little bit of eyeliner and mascara that I had left and finished it off with skin tone eye shadow that Hector won't even notice. I looked over myself, I was pretty satisfied.

I felt the knife to the heart again as I looked over to Hector and smiled as he smiled back to me. " I have something for you!" I said excitingly, his face lit up, " That's kind of funny I have something for you too! But please you first?" He implied. I smiled and nodded as I took out an envelope from my backpack, and handed it him. " Your very first letter! But the catch is you can read it to you get there!" He smiled and thanked me with a well wanted kiss. I smiled at him as we finished the kiss and came back to just put nose and foreheads touching.

" My turn!" He whispered to me, I watched him as he walked out of the room, into the bathroom, I heard the cabinet open and the shut again, he came back into my sight and he was holding something behind his back, " Close your eyes he said."

I did as I was told, he pulled my hands out and say what feels like a tiny box on them and told me to open my eyes. I smiled at him as I opened the box to find a heart necklace with a key shape missing from it, on this heart it read the words ' He who holds the key can unlock my heart' on it and I looked up at him as he pulled out a key necklace from underneath his shirt.

" Hector I love it! Thank you so much!" He smiled at me. " I just wanted to give you something to remember me by." I looked at him and said " How could I ever forget you?" He smiled and we kissed again but this one was urgent and needed and we let this one happen a little longer than the first.

All of a sudden a knock on the door made me jump and depart my lips from his. " Hector it's time to leave." His mother called to him. He gave me a reassuring look and he grabbed his stuff and we headed out the door and piled into the car. The two hour drive was the worst drive ever. I had all these nerves going on, I couldn't imagine how he felt. The only thing that keep me from going crazy is he never let go of my hand.

When we got to the airport we could tell this was a sad day for all the other family's as well, there were many men dress in navy uniforms, but the one next to me was clearly the best. Then all of a sudden over the intercom the flight attendant announced that everyone on his flight were to be leaving now. He hugged his mom first then hugged his dad.

I got to be last. He hugged me hard, like he didn't want to let go, and I didn't want him to let go either. There was a huge loom of sadness between the both of us. Then finally I spoke up, " Hector you are going to miss your flight, you better go, I love you to the moon and back one million and three time!" I smiled as a tear ran down my face.

He gently wiped it off, " I love you more Ariel." I laughed light heartily, " I doubt that, goodbye my sweet Hector, I love you!" I said and suddenly I was enveloped into the best kiss I've ever had before. When it was over I took one last breath of him in and I look one last look at those brown eyes and that dark hair and his dark complexion and he just walked away.

I felt like I was dying, I didn't want him to go. I was scared that I would never see him again. I was going crazy, ' Keep it in Ariel, we are almost to the car.' I told myself.

As we got into the car I let the tears out of my system as I whispered " Good-bye Hector."
