Mark sat staring at the wall of his new dorm. Why oh why had his dad made him enrole here? He missed his old life, well he missed one part of his old life, he missed Jake. The reason being Jake had been his longest relationship and his first and only love. They been together for a year in till marks father had found out and did what any normal father would do: pack his sons bags and send him halfway around the world to Ohio America. Never again to see the rolling hills of England, never again to see his friends but most importantly never again to see the love of his life Jake.
Mark decided he would stop sitting around and he wondered over to his bed and opened his suit case: he took out his clothes and sorted them into his new wardrobe and dresser. After a few minutes of sifting through his stuff he came to the conclusion it wasn't going to get any better so he wondered over to his bed ready to put away his suit case but before he even had chance to zip the case up a red envelope fell out onto his bed spread. He turned the envelope over with the air of a person touching a live bomb, it was addressed to him. He stared at his own name for a few seconds then with his eyes widening he recognised the neat curly hand writing that could only have been one person – Jake. Mark sat down and once again turned over the envelope and delicately prised it open. Inside were 3 things: firstly a folded piece of paper , secondly a photo strip of him and Jake from when they had gone to London for the weekend and lastly a photo from marks 14th birthday. Mark lay back and read jakes letter:
Mark,
As I'm writing this letter your asleep on my bed in your
adorable Monkey onzie. this is the hardest thing Ive ever
had to write but i know i must as your leaving In the morning
for Dalton Academy for boys. I cant thank you enough for this
last year and there is nothing I would rather than spend the
rest of my life with you but alas this cannot happen. So i give
you the only gift I can. I give you your freedom as i know it is to
much to ask for you to remain faithful. I must let you go.
Remember you'll always have a place in my heart.

Mark lent back onto his bed and started to cry. He crawled under the covers and cried in till he fell into the darkness off a dreamless sleep. When he woke up he was surprised to see the stunningly well built bronzed naked teen drying his hair with his towel abandoned some distance from where he stood.
