Lafayette's POV
I felt anger flare in my chest.
"L-Lafayette...p-please, I feel sick and everything hurts..." He whined, gripping my purple coat.
"Shhh... don't talk, mon amour, I'm going to go get the medic for you..." I said and laid him down, covering him up with blankets. I got up and rushed out of the tent, I saw Hercules and I grabbed him by the arm.
"You need to get in that tent and watch Laurens now while I go get the medic." I said quickly. He didn't ask questions, he just went inside the tent and sat with Laurens as I ran to the medic's tent. I wasted no time, there was barely anyone outside the tents. I grabbed the medic by the arm and practically dragged him back to my tent. Once we reached it, I almost shoved him inside. I stepped inside and saw Hercules holding Laurens as he shook. Laurens looked pale and about ready to barf on his lap.
"Both of you need to leave while I try to figure out what's wrong with him. I promise I'll let you two know what's wrong as soon as I can." The medic said and shoos us out. I reluctantly left without any protest.
"Lafayette. What. Happened." Hercules demanded, livid. I shakily sat down on the ground, holding my head in my hands.
"I-I should have been here with him. I-I let this happen, I shouldn't have left him alone..." I whispered, shaking my head.
"Laf, tell me what happened to him." He asked again.
"I-I don't know... I-I plan to ask John but he told me that Charles h-had r-r...." I choked on the word, finding it too hard to say. It felt like hours, even years when really it was only minutes before the doctor came outside.
"He's going to be fine but he needs to stay on bed rest for the next few days...Right now he's trying to clean himself up, you can talk to him for a bit once he's done but then you need to make sure he gets some sleep." He said, patting my shoulder before going back to his tent. I waited a few minutes before calling at John inside the tent,
"Can I come inside mon amour...?"
"Y-Yeah...." he answered. I came inside, sitting on his cot, brushing his hair. He hadn't changed his clothes yet so I got into my stuff and found a tunic of mine and gave it to him.
"Here, mon amour, change into this..." I said sweetly. He took it and changed once I turned around to give him privacy. Once he was finished, I turned back to him and sat beside him.
"John... I hate to do this, but you need to tell me what happened..." I told him quietly. And then, he told me.
'I am going to murder Charles Lee.'
