You and your boyfriend should consult with an experienced immigration attorney who will be able to unpack the issues and advise you of your options. As the other responses indicate, it is not always possible for someone who was deported to return immediately to the U.S. On the other hand, I have seen many cases in which people think they were deported, but were in fact allowed to leave the U.S. voluntarily, which doesn't necessarily carry the same penalty but still depends on the details of their immigration history in the U.S.
