An hour later, we were standing face-to-face near a ticket counter at O’Hare Airport.

We hugged good-bye, holding on to each other in the middle of a sea of suitcase-toting strangers. Nothing else mattered to us except each other. The world was an afterthought, just a backdrop for this crucial scene in our lives.

I closed my eyes, not wanting to forget the feel of Diego’s body close to mine.

“It’s only twelve days,” he said, trying to reassure us both. “It’ll go by fast. You’ll see.”

“I’ll stay busy,” I said. “I’ll probably work an extra shift or two. Hang out with Starsky. Get caught up on homework. Prepare for my interview. Anything to keep me from missing you.”

He locked eyes with me. “I already miss you, Justin. And I won’t stop. Not until—”

I hugged him again, afraid to let go. “You’re the most incredible person I’ve ever met,” I whispered into his ear. “I’ve fallen madly in love with you, Diego Delgado. You’re the most beautiful man in the world. I don’t care what we have to go through to be together, I’m yours.”

I pulled away from him. The tears in his eyes surprised me. I touched his cheek and wiped them away with my trembling fingers. He reached up for my hand and covered it with his, squeezing gently.

“I’ve never felt like this about anyone before,” he said. “And I know I never will again.”

He kissed my cheek.

He stepped back.

We spoke silently with our eyes for a few seconds.

And Diego started to move. I kept my feet planted. The distance between us started to grow. I fought the urge to run after him, beg him to stay, convince him to become a music teacher instead of a rock star.

Instead, I stood in the airport and I cried.

As I watched the love of my life walk away, I already wanted him to come back.
