          It was 1791 , and I was sitting awake for the past three days doing papers for congress. I needed to prove to Jefferson and Burr that I could do this , and pass this law to redeem myself to Eliza and Angelica for not coming on vacation. But most importantly , I had to redeem myself to Lauren's , because of Eliza taking me out of the war on short notice after the Charles Lee situation. I needed to see his freckles again. Every night , I see the stars twinkle , and I remember the hope in his eyes , and his freckles. I glance out the window looking for the stars-the stars seemed closer than usual tonight. Little did I know , he literally was.

       The next night , I lit a candle to continue my work. I looked out to the stars. I couldn't see them-I knew they were there but , the stupid rain had covered the bright light. I lost a little confidence and started walking off to bed , as I heard a firm yet weak knock on the door. I open the door and see a tall curly haired figure drenched in the rain."Hello , can I help you-"I started.Before I could ask his name he fell into my arms.

      "A-Alex!"He wheezed.

      "Laurens..." I could hardly believe what I was seeing. I had no words , all I had to react were stars in my eyes.I felt his fore head. Besides him being drenched , he had a fever. It was random , the fact that he came to me out of all people. I layed him down on the couch , lit a candle and put a kettle over a fire. 

    I mumbled , "It's gonna be okay." 

    "T-thank you Alex,"he coughed. "Laffeyte was in France , Mullagan was at his shop and B-burr... he was busy...Im sorry I had to bother you."

     He looked so...kissable. The water made his hair fall down on his face  , so he looked a little...sexy.And he was so innocent. I really miss him.

     "Er...I-It's no problem I actually wanted you here...ER UM I MEAN..."I calmed down and stroked his hair."It's okay John I actually wanted some company, I miss you."

     He blushed and closed his eyes."I miss you to Alex."

    I smiled and started to walk off to my bed when he pulled my hand and said-

   "Stay~"
