Five hours ago, John looked around him. He was surrounded by British soldiers by the river. His men had either ran away or died. wonderful. He fell to the ground when his horse was shot under him. he fell into the water. bullets whizzing past him. The rapid currents dragged him down river. away from the British. The water got faster before turning into rapids. His head slammed against the rocks. And he fell unconious.

You were waiting for your lover Laurens to return. You two were both men, and since the punishment for sodomy was death. prison for life if you were lucky. Thats why you two had to be a secret. Hen

When Laurens troops arrived but not him you started to worry, and by troops you meant only three men. one including Henery Lee. Lee went into Washington's office. (Witch was really just a desk in the middle of a large tent surrounded by Washington's Aide de camps. ) After they talked Washington walked over to you.

"Alexander. May I speak to you in private?" He asked. You nodded following him out of the room. He held your shoulders. "Laurens is dead."

... What...?

"He was shot and fell into the river. I'm so sorry I know how close of friends two were. I'll give you time to morn" He left you alone.

(present time)

You were asleep on the cot you shared with John when you heard the tent faps open. you woke up sleepily. It was John He was covered in cuts and burses, but he was alive.

"Hey love." he said.
