Y/NS POV

Your father didnt send you home in fear that you might pull something, so he kept you by his side at camp. You wrote to the sisters and your mother to explain what happened. Angelica called you mad, and was angry for tricking her. But she was glad you were alright. Eliza was suprised you had done such a thing, but was also glad you were alright. Peggy was the only one proud of you, and said she supported your decisions. Your mother was the worst. She was hurt and angered when she figured out what you had done. But she, being the best of wives and women, soon forgave you and was glad you were ok. It had been exactly 2, boring, painful months. And after your argument with him, he hadnt stopped by your tent much anymore. Which hurt. You two were so close, it hurt you to see him push you away. It also hurt when you thought about Lafayette. You missed him. You missed so much some nights all you could do was cry. You were secretly praying that he felt the same way, and that he handnt forgotten you. You still planned to find him, and it was only a matter of time. You were snapped out of your thoughts when you heard the familiar swoosh of the tent flaps. You turned and were suprised to find your father. You were expecting the boys, who visited you frequently to try and save you from being painfully lonely. "Father"? You were able to sit up without pain anymore. You could also walk, but it was a little painful. He came and took your hand "Y/N I am sorry for not visiting you. But I have exiting news". His voice was montone and certainly didnt sound "exciting". "What is it"? The heavy suspicion was very clear in your tone. He sighed and faked a smile "I have found you a husband". You yanked your hand away from him in conplete shock "What"?! He plopped into a chair "Dont be this way. He is a fine man and comes from wealthy decent. He will be able to keep you in comfort for all your days". You shook your head in disbelief "No! Father you said that you wanted me to marry someone who made me happy. I dont even know who this is"! Your father nodded "That was before the..incident. And youll learn to love him. Charles"! I looked and a slightly short man bowed to me "Hello. I am Charles Lee. It is a true pleasure to meet you". You immeadietly disliked him. He seemed untrustworthy, and had an annoying perky vibe. He was also a little displeasing to the eyes, nothing compared to Lafayette. "The pleasure is not mine". You growled at him. His cheesy smiled faltered. "Thank you Charles". You father dismissed him quickly and frowned at you. "Y/N". Your father warned. You shook your head "No father. I told you that I love Lafayette. I am not going to accept anyone else". "You seriously think I'm going to let you be with him"? Your turned back to your father "I am an adult father. And I dont need your blessing. You known me, im technically you made over". He glowered at you "Y/N I only want whats best for you! Dont be so hard headed"! You shook your head "No father. I am not marrying him. I dont love him"! He stood "Youll learn to love him. Im doing this for you, Y/N. I love you and I want you happy and safe". "Dont you understand? I wont be happy"! He froze at the opening. You could see he was clearly conflicting with himself, debating what really is best. After a few beats he shook his head "No. This will be good for you. Im sorry Y/N". It looked like he was convincing himself more than talking to you. Before you could argue he left. You cant marry him! You cant. 'You need to leave tonight while its still dark'. It hit you. You need to leave. Now or never. You held the bedframe and stood. It hurt a little, but not to where it was crippling. You slipped into a loose dess and grabbed a quill and paper and wrote to your father:

Dearest Father,

I love you. You are the best father that anyone would ever ask for. However, I simply can't marry Charles. I would never be happy, not when my heart already belongs to another. I am so sorry but this means I will have to leave. I don't know when I will see you and mother again, but I wanted you both to know you were the most amazing parents on the world, and I love you. Take care of mother for me, you know how tender hearted she is. Thank you for everything. I can't say that I love you both enough. I love you.

Your Dearest Daughter,

Y/N, Y/M/N, Y/L/N

With that you slowly left the tent and went to the boys tent. "Guys"? You called into the tent. "Y/N? What are you doing"? Herc grumbled and lit a candle. You went and sat at a desk. "Im leaving. Tonight". "What? Why"? Alex and John were now awake and attentive. You sighed and told them about the arranged marrige and how you need to leave. "Thats why I need to leave". They nodded "And you need to know where Laf lives"? Alex stated knowlingly. You nodded "Correct". Herc shrugged "I heard him once mention Paris. I believe he said he has a grandmother there". You smiled as adreniline and hope coursed through you "Okay. Thank you, you have all been amazing friends". I gave them all a swift hug. You turned to Alex "Take care of Angelica for me"? He nodded "Oh and if you hurt her.." He looked you and nervousness was written all in his eyes. You smirked "Just remember that im fully trained with a pistol". He swallowed "Ofcourse. I love her, I wouldnt dream of hurting her". You nodded, satisfied with his answer. Herc snickered behind you and you turned "Dont think your discluded. Peggy is the kindest, most pure person ive ever met. If you hurt her, you'll have hell to pay". Herc tensed up and nodded "Y-Yes ma'am". You sighed and looked at them all once more. "I dont know when Ill see you again. But goodbye and thank you". They smiled at you "To you aswell Y/N. Goodbye". You turned and left. You shouldered your little bag and grabbed a horse. On the way in you knew there was a port near here. You mounted with a little effort and started down the road. After about 20 minutes of riding you finally reached the town and its port. You dismounted the horse and gave it to some random stable boy. There was one ship boarding. You made your way onboard. "Woah there pretty lady. Where are you headin"? Who you assumed was the captin based off of his clothes winked at you. You were extremely annoyed by this but answered "I am hoping to go to Paris, France. Would your ship happen to be going that way"? He straightened up, realising he wouldnt get anything out of you, and nodded. "Yes ma'am. It will take about a week". You nodded "That will do". You handed him $10 (THIS PROBABLY ISNT ACCURATE EITHER SO PLEASE EXCUSE ME!) and boarded without further conversation. Some sailor showed you to your "room". It was basically a room with a hammock and hole for a toilet. "Here you are miss. Have a lovely night". The kind sailor gave a curt bow and left. You quickly threw your bag in and collapsed into the hammock. Soon you felt the ship swat slightly and you were on your way. You sighed and relaxed into the swaying hammock. 'Im coming Lafayette. Its only a matter of time...'
