Hercules's POV
I laid awake for nights on end. Lee hadn't returned to camp, he was probably long gone... I told Lafayette not to pursue him because that's not what John would want but the truth was that I wanted to be the one to knock Lee around. I'd hit my limit with people hurting John and I was finally going to do something about it. Lafayette wasn't going to get in my way this time. John tried to act as if nothing happened, and the medic had told Washington what happened so Washington was trying to make it a point that he stayed away from any firing squads. He kept him back at camp, alone but rarely did Washington allow someone to stay and help him. We kept it under raps, no one else knew about the incident. We would be able to see John go through that pain as well... But Washington did grant Lafayette more time to spend with John, which helped me in the long run. It got him out of my way.
Laurens's POV
I felt like the married women awaiting their husband's return from the war, constantly worry if he'll return with a beating heart or in a cider wood box. I'd spend each day sitting and waiting for Lafayette to return to me, greeting me with a kiss like he did each time. I wasn't looking forward to the day that would stop...
Lafayette's POV
I stood amongst my fellow soldiers, firing at redcoats and taking them down like it was nothing. The whole time I had been imagining them to be Lee... I imagined putting a bullet between his eyes. I also wanted to know what happened to John in his sleep that made him scream like that... He sounded so broken and lost.. I prayed that he'd never have to sound like that again... I sighed while I reloaded my rifle, wishing I could cradle John in my arm right now... I wanted to hold him and kiss his warm, freckled cheeks then see his beautiful smile... John was the reason I got up in the morning, he was the reason that I made sure I survived. John was my everything...
John was my reason to live...
John was my whole world and I'd never let anyone take him away, I loved him too much to let him go...
I prayed that one day I would be able to marry him...
I dreamt of being able to be with him for the rest of our lives...
'God I love you John Laurens...'
