Kate's point of view: I spent every possible minute with Peyton. I knew he would have to go back to Georgia but I wanted him here with me. It was Friday morning. The day before Peyton had to leave to go back home. I was with Julie and I was looking for something I could give Peyton tonight before he left. Julie and I searched everywhere and still couldn't find anything. We finally went to Main Street Junction to eat so we would have a break. We ordered our food and when we got it we went to one of the tables and sat down. I looked at Julie,"I have no idea what to get Peyton. This gift is also gonna have to be a birthday present since his birthday is April 21." Julie looked at me and said,"Well there is one thing that you could give him since you and him dated for two years and never did because you two wanted to wait." I look at her like what are you talking about and Julie rolls her eyes and says,"Kate think about it. You and Peyton dated for two years. There's a three letter word that you and Peyton could do that could be his early birthday present and his going away present and he would definitely remember it." I look at her confused and Julie, completely annoyed, says,"Katherine Michelle Timmons you and Peyton should fu*k with each other."
Peyton's point of view: It was friday night. We were leaving tomorrow and tonight was my last night to be with Kate. I wanted tonight to be special but I didn't know how the h*ll I was gonna do that. I had just finished getting ready so I went downstairs to get my jacket and my keys and leave when I heard mom and dad talking... I got up against the wall to where they couldn't see me and dad said,"I just found out that I'm being deployed as soon as we get back to Georgia." I heard my mom inhale sharply and say,"They can't do that can they? We've spent a week in Mississippi and they expect you to just pack up your stuff and go as soon as we get back?!" My dad sighed and said,"Yes they can do that and I know that it isn't fair to you or the kids but I have to do this. Protecting my family is one of my jobs as a husband and a father and if it means to protect everybody else then so be it. I promise you nothing will happen to me. I'll be back before you know it." My mom was quiet and in a whisper she said,"What if this time is different? What if you don't come back?"
