Okay, so this is sorta, kinda, not really based off of Dear John. Basically, I just borrowed the title. But, please do not compare the two if you are fan of the book. This is my second try at a love story for Kyle, this one will be better than my first. Just bare with me for this chapter.

Disclaimer: Do not own anything, as usual.


Dear Kyle

"Harmon!"

Kyle looked up from his bunk and stood to greet his captain. The captain smiled and handed the young man a letter. When Kyle took it, he smiled, immediately recognizing the handwriting on the envelope. His captain left and Kyle sat back down and opened the letter.

Dear Kyle,

I miss you, a lot. It's funny to think that you've been gone for two months. Only four more to go still right? You seemed happy in your last letter, I like that. I'm proud of you for doing this, even though I worry from time to time.

Well, school is good; nothing exciting to report anyway. I've been dubbed by my roommate as "Army Girl" thanks to the picture of us with you in your uniform…I kind of like it though. Don't you? I've decided to become a teacher. Don't ask me what kind because I haven't gotten that far yet.

Good news! Your dad said that when I go down to Miami for Thanksgiving that I could use his webcam and maybe talk to you. Would that be alright? It would let me your face again and vice versa. He worries about you, you know, your dad. I'm pretty certain he worries more than me. But, that's because he loves you.

I love you Kyle. Promise to keep thinking of me.

Yours always,

Emma

Kyle reread the letter three times. His smile only got bigger when he read the last line. Of course he thought of her! He thought of Emma all the time. Kyle took out a picture from one of the pockets on his uniform and traced her face. It was a photo of the two of them over the summer, both had smiles on their faces and Kyle was holding Emma close.

"So, who is she?"

Derek, a member of Kyle's unit came in and sat on his bunk next to Kyle's. Derek was a few years older than Kyle and treated him like a little brother. Kyle rolled his eyes and handed over the picture.

"She's cute." Derek handed it back, "She got a name?"

"Emma."

Derek nodded and handed over a photo of his own girlfriend, "Katherine, going on four years."

Kyle was surprised, most of the guys talked about their loved ones back home but Derek never did. Though, neither did Kyle. He handed back Derek's photo and smiled again at his own of Emma.

"I met Emma a year ago."

Derek once again nodded in understanding, "Let me guess. She's special, right?"

"Yeah, she's definitely special."


A/N: Sorry it's so short but next chapter will show how Kyle and Emma met. R&R por favor.
