Tristan sat down on his bunk in his dorm room. He didn't mind Military school as much as he thought he would. He actually got along great with some of the guys here and they always made it a point to take his mind off of things when he needed it. As he sat on his bunk his eyes went to the framed picture of his Mary that he had there. He couldn't stop the smile that spread across his face. He laid back on his bed and then picked up the picture of Rory and held it in front of his face.

"I miss you my Mary." Tristan whispered. He looked around and saw that nobody was in the dorm with him and he let a couple of the tears fall down his face before he wiped them away.

As much as he didn't mind Military school the one thing he did mind was being away from Rory. He hated being so far from her. He hated not being there with her. He missed her smile. He missed the sound of her laugh. He missed looking into her eyes. Most of all he missed the way she kissed. As he thought about her kisses he started smiling once again.

When he had first gotten here all he did was mope. For the first several weeks he didn't talk to anyone unless he had to. That slowly changed when Finn started talking to him. He was actually surprised that he liked the Aussie. Then again it shouldn't have surprised him because Finn made sure to sit down with Tristan and talk for hours at a time about Tristan's Mary.

As the weeks went by Tristan finally finished the letter to Rory that he had been working on and sent it out. He couldn't help but smile as he thought about the day he sent that letter out. After sending it out he had told Finn and Finn had told him how proud he was of him. He slowly got over the not talking to anyone but now when he did talk to people it was mostly about the girl he loved. He couldn't quit thinking about her so how would he not be able to talk about her.

He sighed and closed his eyes and let his thoughts be consumed by Rory. He still couldn't believe that he had got to make love to the girl of his dreams. Yes, he thought to himself make love because no matter how much Rory and him had needed one another what they did was more than sex. Every time he closed his eyes he felt her around him and he wanted to be right back there.

He came out of his thoughts when something was dropped onto his chest. He opened up his eyes and saw Finn standing there with a smile on his face. "What are you smiling about Finn?"

Finn chuckled. "Well mate if you would look at what I just dropped on your chest you will see that you have a letter from your Mary."

Tristan's eyes widened in shock and he sat up making the letter fall to the ground. He bent over and picked it up and as he saw Rory's familiar hand writing on the envelope his heart started beating faster in his chest. He looked up at Finn and saw the smirk on his face but instead of returning the smirk he just smiled. "Thanks man."

Finn nodded. "You read your letter from your Mary and then I'll tell you my plan."

Tristan nodded and went back to looking at the envelope in his hands. After a few seconds he eagerly tore the envelope open and smiled when not only a letter slip out but a picture as well. He picked up the picture and grinned when he saw that it was of him and Rory during one of the rehearsals for Romeo and Juliet. After studying the picture for a moment he put it on the table beside his bed and then unfolded the letter and read.

Dear Tristan,

When I read the letter you sent me my heart shattered into a million pieces. These last six weeks have been hell. I go to school and I come home. I hardly talk to anybody and I hardly eat. I know that I'm worrying everyone but I can't seem to stop it. The second you left the light in my world went out. I miss you so much.

I walk by the locker you had at school and my heart just breaks. If I close my eyes I can picture you standing there and looking at me but as soon as I open my eyes you're gone and I'm all alone again. I don't think I can survive without you. It's getting harder and harder day after day to make myself function.

Why couldn't I have realized that you had my heart before you had to leave? Why didn't I realize that it was you all along who I loved? If only I had then maybe you wouldn't have gotten into trouble and had to leave. God Tris I miss you so much and I can't take it anymore. I need you like I need air to breathe and the longer we are apart the harder it is to breathe.

I hope that you have made some friends there Tristan. I can't bare the thought of you being alone. I can't bare the thought of you not having someone that you can confide in. I just wish that I was there with you.

Not a second goes by that I don't think of you. You're always in my mind and in my heart. When I lay in bed at I night I dream of you holding me. When I lay in my bed I think about the night that we made love. It may have been my first time but you made it special. I just wish that we could do it again. I wish that I could just feel your arms around me holding me tight and letting me know that I'm not alone.

As I write this letter to you I'm crying again. I never knew a person could cry this much and live but they can. I cry every single day and nothing I do or anyone else does is able to get me to stop. I see you every where yet you're not here. I would give anything in this world just to have you by my side. I would give anything in this world just to have your lips touch mine one more time. Is it sad that all I think about is you? Is it sad that I can see you every where I look.

I need to end this letter now before the paper ends up so wet that you can't read what I'm writing. Just know this Tristan if you don't know anything else. Know that I love you and that I miss you every second of every day. Just know that you're my world and I can't wait to have you back with me. I love you Bible Boy.

Love Always and Forever,

Your Mary

As he finished reading her letter he felt tears fill his eyes but he blinked them back. He could tell from the tone of her letter even without her actually saying the words that she was barely surviving. He looked up from his letter with the tears in his eyes and saw Finn eyeing him. "We need to do something Finn. She's going to end up dying because she's not even taking care of herself."

Finn looked at Tristan and then took the letter from his hands and quickly read it and then gave it back to Tristan. "Okay mate do you remember me talking about two mates from Hartford? Well Logan and Collin have agreed to have their parents transfer them to Chilton so that they can keep an eye on your Mary for you."

Tristan raised an eyebrow and said "Would the Logan you're talking about happen to be Logan Huntzberger and the Colin be Colin McCrae?"

Finn though shocked at Tristan's question nodded his head. "Yes I'm talking about that Logan and Colin. How do you know them?"

Tristan chuckled and said "Two words for you Finn. Hartford society."

Finn laughed and nodded. "I should have thought about that. Anyways Logan and Collin are offering to keep an eye on your girl until you can go back there."

Tristan thought about it for a few minutes and then nodded. "Set it up man. I'll write to Rory and let her know. Tell Logan and Colin both that I said thank you."

Finn nodded and left the room to go and make the phone call.

Tristan got into the drawer in his nightstand and pulled out a notebook and then sat back on the bed and started writing. He wasn't sure how long it took him to write the whole letter but he didn't really care. He had a lot to say to his Mary and he wanted to make sure he said it all. He had just finished writing the letter when the call for lights out was heard. He put the letter into an envelope and he wrote Rory's address on it before putting it on the nightstand so he could mail it out tomorrow. He took one last look at the picture and kissed his fingers and then put them on the picture and whispered "Goodnight my Mary I love you."
