You are sitting at your room working on your law studies. Alexander knocks on your door.
"It's open!" You tell him. He walks in.
"Y/N, did you hear about what happened to Laurens?" He asks.
Your eyes light up as you hear him say Laurens, "No, I didn't. Is he coming here?" You smile, wanting to see him again.
Alex takes a seat next to you. "Y/N.... He... he got shot and died while in South Carolina."
You feel your heart drop. "Wha.... what? You have to be kidding!" You choke back tears. "He's alive I know he is!"
Alexander hands you the letter. You begin to read it,
"On Tuesday, the twenty-seventh, Lieutenant Colonel John Laurens was killed in a gunfight against British troops in South Carolina.
These troops had not yet received word from Yorktown that the war was over.
He's buried here until his family can send for his remains.
As you may know, Lieutenant Colonel Laurens was engaged in recruiting three thousand men for the first all-black military regiment.
The surviving members of this regiment have been returned to their masters."
Tears spill from your eyes as the letter falls from your hands. Alex gives you a hug, you hug him back. You sob on his shoulder as he hushes you softly.
I wish I forgave him sooner.

RIP Laurens, everyone's favorite freckled boy.
