Ten Duel Commandments

Duel

'Laurens, Do not throw away your shot.' 

Alexander words echoed in the freckled mans ears the entire time that he and Lee loaded their guns and began to pace off. John was angry yes but, could he shoot a man? Would he be willing to kill this man? For George? of course, For Alexander? He would kill anyone for him.As they counted off, John took his aim at Lee when they reached ten, just as he was about to pull the trigger he hesitated. He was met with a loud,ringing bang seconds after his hesitation. 

That...wasn't his gun...was it...?

 John soon felt a rush of pain fill his body as he dropped to the ground and held his side in pain as blood poured from his wound. "A-Alex...?" John choked out in a broken sob as he held his side in pain, He failed...He failed Alexander.

Everything has happened so fast. Just minutes ago John and Alexander were joking around and having a ball, planning on spending the night drinking in celebration! But...all those happy thought seemed to drop as Alexander witnessed his dearest,Laurens get shot.

"John! Oh my god...John!" Alexander choked out as he held himself back from crying as he knelt down by John and held the man in his arms as he pressed his hand on the wound. "John, look at me! speak to me! y-you are going to be okay, I promise!" Alexander voice cracked as he shoked back a sob as he looked at John who was already looking so close to death from blood lose.

Lee looked at the two and laughed. "John do you yield?! Just as I said! Washingtons men are just as sorry as him!" He laughed as he turned to Burr for a hug in victory but was shoved aside when Burr spoke up. "W-We have to leave the field" Burr ordered as he could see Washington rushing up the hill, The general rushing toward the location of the gun shot heard. "Yeah! Lets go, We won! Drinks are on me!" Lee cheered as he put an arm around Burr but was left alone when Burr went to aid Alexander with John as Washington came closer. "What is the meaning of this!?" The man shouted as he knelt to John and applied pressure to the wound as Alexander craddled the bleeding mans head. "Burr, get a medic!" Washing ordered. "Y-Yes sir!" Burr said before he ran off. Washington glared at Hamilton and Lee. "Laurens, keep your eyes open! Talk to me, Thats an order from your commander!" The general hissed, he couldnt loose another man.

"S-Sir...?" John choked out. "Damn it Laurens, You and Hamilton are the mo-" "I-Im sorry...I shouldn't of agreed to the duel...I shouldnt of hesitated....their are so many things I shouldnt of done...." John croaked as tears ran down his face. "L-Laurens...D-Dont you talk like that! you are going to be able to make up for what you fucked up on! Do you hear me!? You are going to pull through this! " Washington shouted as he pressed down on the wound as he gave John a slight shake when the man was about to fall asleep,waiting for Burr and the medic to return.
