A/N -
hey guys! So this ones a little shorter but I really had fun writing it! So this chapter is three separate letters between our couple and we get a bit more backstory on Leighton. Anyways just incase its not clear italics is Leighton and bold is Tommy and it will stay this way for the rest of the story anytime they talk not in person or have a dialogue only scene.
I have updated this chapter yet again! Sorry guys I needed to change a little of Leighton's family history! I will not be changing anything else now promise!
Hope y'all enjoy!
Disclaimer- I own nothing I just like to play in the sandbox.
Tommy,
I hope all is well there with you! I'm sorry I waited so long to get back to you . I just had to make sure that I hadn't dreamed up the feeling I get when I think about you. Also I had to be sure my heart could handle something like this. My last relationship ended bad and I'm still not sure my heart can take another break like that. Anyway, I want to know all about your life now what's going on with you. I know you were worried about everything before the fight and that you still are but I still say everything will be alright.
Brendan and Tess invited me over for dinner Tuesday night. Not sure why agree to go but I really would like to know you better so what better way than drilling your family for info. Haha. Just kidding! :-)
Tommy I agree with what you said in your first letter about there being something between us. That night I realized, you and I are connected.
I will wait for you. I've never had such an intense connection with someone before. And I can't just let it go without figuring it out.
I realized after I got off the phone with you and ran home, that I forgot to give you my address and phone number. I don't want you to just call me when you have a chance to call, split your time between me and Brendan and Paddy they deserve to hear from you too and I would hate myself if I took you away from your family. But at the same time I would really love to hear your voice sometime. My number is 999-123-4567 my address is 7890 West Parkway.
I hope to hear from you soon Tommy. Wishing you luck,
Leighton

Leighton,
I hope Brendan got you this letter. I realized after we got off the phone that you didn't give me your address so I sent it to him and told him to send it onto you. I'm so glad you finally got back to me. I totally understand why it took you so long but I'm just glad that I have someone other than the family to talk to.
Life here is interesting I don't remember time on base being like this; then again I didn't spend much time on base locked in a house unable to leave but at least I'm not in the brig. I spend most of my time reading or writing letters but that doesn't really fill the time. There are a lot of things bouncing around my head at the moment. Why Brendan did what he did? Why I left? What will happen? But most of all it's about mom and you. I keep thinking back to that summer when me and mom left; trying to figure out why we didn't just drag Brendan along with us. I guess I'm starting to feel guilty now that we're getting closer again. I wish now that I had called him when mom died he deserved to know. He tells me that he's got two little girls, I hope I'll get to meet them someday. I like kids. Pilar has two kids they look just like Manny. Bren told me what he did for Pilar. It blew me away. He doesn't even know them. I got him to send her a letter from me and I've got a couple back. She says the kids are good and that everything is better now. She told me that my brothers a saint and I think I believe her. I hope you two get to hang out some; get to know each other, that would make me really happy.
So you know all about my life. Tell me something about yours. That night we really only talked about me and your friends but I want to know more about your life. What was your childhood like, how you got there that night, what you like, what you don't like, tell me everything.
Thank you Leighton for everything you have done for me and for being there I always knew deep down we would talk again.
Talk to you soon,
Tommy

Tommy,
Life there sounds a bit boring! I'll have to see if we can't send you better books. Anyway I hope this letter finds you happy and well! Brendan tells me the court-martial is next week. Don't be too nervous everything will be ok, I'm sure that they will take the good deeds you have done into account and that whatever they decide everything will be ok. Just remember that I will be here when you come back to everyone here.
I met your family on Tuesday. The girls are adorable, you would love them! They are the cutest things in the world and so well behaved. I think Rosie really took a liking to me she would hardly leave my side all night. Brendan and Tess are great, so sweet and kind. You really have a great family Tommy.
You wanted to know about my life well where to start…
I guess I'll start at the beginning, I have a younger brother who is fifteen months younger then me and we have never really gotten along unless something major is going on. We both have sorta clashing strong personalities. Anyways my parents have been together for 38 years now and have always been incredible. Their the kind of parents who are always there for you. We grew up with dogs in the house and big ones at that. As a consequence of that I have a Great Dane named Princess who is always around to lift me up! I love movies, music, hanging out with friends and reading on a dreary day with nothing else to do. I absolutely can't stand football and baseball they are both so slow that I just cant handle it! I much prefer soccer and hockey I could watch them all day. I work for a software company as an engineer developing programs for Macs. I know geeky right? Well thats me I guess just a geek! I was there that night for a friends bachelorette party, I hand't really wanted to go but my friends dragged me. I'm not sure what else to tell you and I think my boss just caught me writing this instead of typing up code… OPPPS! :)
Be safe Tommy. I'll be here waiting,
Leighton

Leighton,
It was great getting your letter today! I'm really glad you had a good time with Bren and Tess. I can't wait to meet those girls in person, Brendan put Emily on the phone the other day when I called and she sounded so cute. Still cant get over the fact that I'm an Uncle now that just seems crazy! A Great Dane huh? Never seen one in person before but I always like the Marmaduke strip in the paper. No Football or Baseball? Girl do you not like America? Just kidding! Never was much into soccer but I do enjoy a good hockey game now and again, maybe we can go see a Penguins game sometime. I don't know what any of that computer stuff means, not super up on the latest tech.
So you gotta tell me more now girl! Where'd you grow up? How was it growing up? I want to know everything!
My court-martial is set for Tuesday. I don't know what to expect here and I really don't want to end up in jail. Guess I just gotta keep up the faith right?
Leighton will you do me a favor? Will you pray for me?
Talk soon,
Tommy
SASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASA SASA
Tommy,
Of course i will pray for you! My girls group at church is praying for you too, I hope thats alright.
I would love to go to a Penguins game with you but I cant root for them... NO WAY! :)
I was born in a little town called Renton in Washington state its outside of Seattle. I don't know if you have ever heard of it since you were over in Tacoma when you were there. Anyways I grew up in Dallas and went to a small private school for 1st - 12th grade. I was always the shy little girl with crazy hair. I was not in with the "it" crowd ever and was always seen as weird. I grew out of my shyness for the most part but when you go to school with the same core 60 people for 12 years others perceptions of you never really change. Anyways growing up was interesting and its hard to write down. I never really had friends growing up. I had a few but I was always more of a friend to them then they were to me. High School was particularly hard because my Sophomore year I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I don't know if you know anything about it but its a chronic pain disease which attacks the nerve endings. Basically all of my nerves are constantly firing off pain to my brain so that my brain believes I'm in pain even though there is no external reason for it. I missed a lot of school because, there were days when I was in so much pain that I could not physically get up out of bed. I lost a lot of friends because they believed I was faking for attention. By the end of my senior year I had one friend who really stuck by me and the rest were gone. I tried to go away for school but that didn't work and so i came back home and did online classes while I worked full time at a movie theater. I found my church a few years later and found the best friends I could have ever asked for and then when I graduated I got a job up here and moved. since then I have found a new church and new friends and I love my job!
Anyway enough of the dreary! Remember that everything will be okay and I will be here waiting!
Be safe Tommy and remember you are in my prayers.
Leighton
