Ok so I changed John's birthday in this one and made it March 28th instead of October 28th just to fit the story better.
------------------------------------------
Alex's POV

It has been six months since John left and frankly I'm getting a little worried. I haven't gotten a single letter since Christmas and no sign that he is even alive. Aspen misses him so much, but on the bright side her and Eliza are now officially a thing. Peggy came up with a ship name for them, Elizspen. We are all doing the best we can without him but it has been really hard.

Currently we are sitting in my living area in my dorm. I started singing a song we made up in a bar. Sure we were all drunker then anything else but that song just kind of stick with up.

"I may not live to see our glory," I sing.

"I may not live to see our glory," sings Eliza, Aspen, Peggy, Maria, Thomas, Angelica, James M, Natasha Jefferson, who had joined our group as well as James and Thomas, Herc, and Laf sang.

"But I will gladly join the fight," I sing.

"But I will gladly join the fight," sings the group.

"And when our children tell our story," I sing and the group repeats it. "They'll tell the story of tonight."

"Lets have another round tonight," says Herc.

"Lets have another round to night," says Laf.

"Lets have another round tonight," I sing. Then we all stop. Who will sing John's part.

"Raise a glass to freedom," sings Aspen, she sings beautifully just like her brother. "Something they can never take away."

"No matter what they tell you," Thomas takes over.

"Raise a glass to all of us," sings Peggy.

"Tomorrow they'll be more of us!" We all sing, "tellin' the story of tonight!"

"Lets have another round tonight!" Sing all the girls.

"They'll tell the story of tonight." Sing the girls.

"The story of tonight!" We finish the song.

Aspen picks up her glass of milk, "to John, wherever he may be."

We all raise our drinks or just raise our hand, "to John."

Aspen's POV

We go back to the dorms later that night. Peggy and I walk into our dorm and we both sit together and talk for a long time.

"I miss him, Pegs," I say.

"I know, I do to," she says.

After that we go to bed. Tomorrow would be John's birthday.

The next morning

Alex's POV

I woke up the next morning and went to the kitchen area in my dorm. I still don't sleep on John's side of the bed. I walk into the kitchen half expecting to see John cooking breakfast. Of course he wasn't. Today would be John's birthday and I got him a present even though he isn't hear.

Why am I talking about him like he's dead? Well, for all I know he could very well be dead. I wouldn't know because he has completely disappeared from the face of the Earth.

All I know is I miss him so much. If he were hear I would make him a special breakfast, or, at least try. Knowing me I would burn the dorm down just trying to make toast. I sit at my desk with a bowl of cereal and my laptop writing. I hear a knock at the door.

I go and answer it to be met with a sight I was so sure I would never see again.

"Hey, Lexi."
