I'll tell the story of tonight.

Chapter 1

I was walking down the street to my cousins house, when I bumped into someone and fell.

"I am so sorry, little girl, here let me help you up."

I looked up to the woman. She had black hair and wonderful brown eyes. Next to her stood another woman with brown hair and she held a little boy on her hand. The boy looked so familiar. I took the woman's hand.

"Thank you Miss.", I said.

"Where do you live? We can come with you.", the woman said to me.

"I live two blocks away."

"That is a coincidence. My sister lives there too. Well come on then."

We walked to my house. While we were walking, the boy talked to me:
"Hi, I'm Phillip Hamilton. Who are you?"

" My name is Frances Laurens."

"You have the same dots on your nose as me."

Phillip was so sweet. When we arrived at the house of my cousin, he waved at me and went away with his mother and aunt. I opened the door only to see my cousin lying on the floor and bloodstains everywhere. I ran to him and started crying. I must have cried so loud that my neighbors heard it.

I must have passed out, because the next thing I saw was the mother of Phillip.
"I am so sorry for what happened, little girl. Do you have anyone to stay with?"
I shook my head. So I stayed with the Hamiltons. Needless to say me and Phillip grew close.

........

On Phillips ninth birthday I started my first summer job. I was only fourteen at that time and it was hard but I got ahold of it. One afternoon I cleaned the office of Mr. Hamilton and found a bunch of letters. I almost passed out when I saw the signature. John Laurens. My father. In that exact moment Mr. Hamilton walked in.

"Mr. Hamilton, what are those? "

"Well, how do I explain this, well I loved your father and as it seemed to me, that he loved me too. And we kept exchanging letters, until...well"

"Until what?"

"Until he died. I still miss him."

"He died? I thought both my parents left me. At least that is what my cousin told me."

"Really? Oh, I am so sorry you had to find out this way."

I started crying and Mr. Hamilton pulled me into a hug.

Welp thats all for today. Hope you like it. I'm going to make time jump so please don't wonder.
