Sorry this took so long!!! Here it is, and I hope you enjoy it~!

                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You and John Laurens sat underneath a big willow tree in the local park, it was late at night, so you were both alone. Meeting together on nights like this was typical for you and John, as you had to keep everything secret from your Mother.

Your Mother was a strong Loyalist, and she didn't want you with the Patriot rascals, like John Laurens and his friends. So she put you into an arranged marriage, you didn't know the man you were to wed, but you knew you wouldn't like him.

John and You had been secretly courting for almost a year now, and your wedding was approaching fast. You were supposed to meet your fiancé the night before the wedding, and you weren't happy about it.

"John, I'm scared about our future." You told him, as you nuzzled your head into his chest.

"I'm scared too, (Y/N). But I know that this will all end well." He replied, while resting his head on the top of yours. You pulled away to look at him in his deep, dark eyes.

"What makes you say something as ridiculous as that? John, there's no way out of this marriage! I'm going to be wed, and you'll be alone. Maybe you'll find someone to replace me.." You said, beginning to cry.

John lifted your face with his fingers, your (E/C) eyes looked at his face, John's eyes sparkled with hope.

"I know this will end well, because we're simply meant to be. If we've been together this long, then we must be destined for one another." He assured you, as he wrapped you in his warm embrace. You hugged him back, before you realized the time.

"Oh no, John I have to go. Mother is going to kill me if I don't get back now." You stood, before rushing off. You turned around, now walking backwards to wave to your boyfriend, then you spun back around and ran home.

       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You got yelled at by your Mother when you got home, she yelled at you for being late. Thank God she didn't know about you and John, but you were greeted with not so good news.

"Your wedding has been moved up to next week, as your fiancé has business plans scheduled on your original wedding date." She told you, her face stern and her tone, stiff.

"Yes Mother." You replied simply, before going to your room. You closed the door, and walked to your bed. The soft blankets wrinkled as you sat down on the mattress, you put your head in your hands and began to weep. Life was not treating you well.

                            ~~~~~~~~~

That week had passed quickly, and you were in your room again, but you were dressed in your white wedding gown. You were crying, quiet and slow sobs escaped your lips. You stopped your tears, as you heard tapping on the window. John was in the tree outside your bedroom window! You opened the window and let him in.

"John! What are you doing here? My Mother could catch you." You said, hugging him tightly.

"(Y/N), I've been thinking. Your life isn't fair, you're going to be wed off, and I can't bear he thought of you being with some stuck up noble who won't pay attention to you. So.. let's run." He looked into you deeply.

"John.. what if-" He put a finger on your lips.

"I love you, and that's all that matters. You Mother can never break true love apart." He said, before holding out his arms.

"Let's run away." He repeated. You took his hand and he lead you out of the room, the two of you began to run, and you never looked back.

'This is my future. I'm with my love, and life will be okay.' You thought.

'This was simply meant to be.'
