It was a sad day for everyone who knew Eleanor Laurens, she was the life at every party and loved by all in their little community. John Laurens the son of Eleanor held onto his small sisters hand (Y/n) Laurens as they watched their mothers coffin lower into the ground. Muffled cries filled the rainy sky as the rain fell like tears as they were witnessing the death of someone who was loved dearly. John carefully picks up his little sister hugging her as she cried on his shoulder. Their father Henry Laurens shadowed over the pair as he watched his wife leave them. He walked away angrily as everyone followed behind. John knelt beside his mothers grave placing (Y/n) beside him. She looked at the grave not really knowing what was happening.
"Johnny is mommy coming back?" Her big tearful (E/c) eyes looked at John as his head cowered down tears slipping.
"N-no, (Y/n), mother is with God now darling. S-she isn't coming back."(Y/n)'s eyes widen as she hugged Johns side.
"Johnny I l-love you" He smiles wiping his tears, he ruffles her hair. "I love you too (Y/n), come on let's go home huh?" She nods, a red flower catches her eye she runs over to it picking it from the earth. She runs back to John holding it smiling.
"I think mommy would like this Johnny, can I g-give t-this to mommy?" He nods and she places it on her mothers grave smiling.
"That's for you mommy, me and Johnny will come see you when papa let's us. I l-love you mommy." John smiles picking up (Y/n) he tickles her sides a little causing her to giggle. He looks to his mothers grave smiling sadly. "Don't worry mother I will look after (Y/n), I promise you mother I will protect her with my life and help her in any way possible. She will be a beautiful woman I promise." He hugs little (Y/n) close to him as he walks back to the carriages, he sees his father in one already, John places (Y/n) inside getting in himself. (Y/n) climbs up onto the seat looking at her father. "Papa, a-are you okay?" He grumbles looking out the window. John holds (Y/n) close to him brushing her curly (H/c) hair with his fingers. "Father, (Y/n) asked you something, would you kindly answer her?" John says getting angry. Henry turns to his children angrily glaring at them both scaring little (Y/n). "I'm fine, I need to get home, I have a lot of work." The carriage starts moving. (Y/n) yawns cuddling into Johns side sadly.
The ride home was silent, the carriage was full of anger and sadness. (Y/n) fell asleep on the way home so John had to pick her up when they exited the carriage after their father of course. Henry walks into the house barging past one of the maids, she falls over immediately standing back up brushing herself off. John approaches her holding (Y/n) in his arms. "I'm sorry for my fathers behaviour miss." He says sadly looking up at her. "Master Laurens do you want me to take young mistress to her room?"He nods handing (Y/n) over to her. "Miss, please make sure she is tucked in I will come see her soon after I am dressed, also please call me John when my father isn't around." She smiles nodding, she walks off with little (Y/n) in her arms placing her in bed after of course changing her in her nightdress. She smiles sadly walking away closing the door silently leaving a peaceful (Y/n) sleeping, dreaming about what her life will be like in the next years.
~4 years later~
John looked at (Y/n) as she sat in the garden reading a book. She always had her head in a book. He smiles approaching her. "Hey (Y/n), what you reading now?" She peaks a small part of her face up from the book, she giggles. "The same book as yesterday when you asked me John." He smiles ruffling her hair. "John no! You'll mess my hair up." She giggles again smiling brightly at her older brother. He smiles back poking her nose. "I was just pulling your leg, I'm going to head out into town you wanna come? We can go to the market to go see what they have today if you want?" She nods smiling she quickly gets up running back to the house to get her money she had been saving up and her cloak. She puts it on over her (f/c) dress, she grabs her basket heading back to the garden. John smiles laughing, "You were quick lets go see. Make sure you stay close to me though while we are in town, okay?" She nods smiling as he holds her hand heading into town which wasn't too far from their house. (Y/n) turns back sadly looking at the window of her fathers study.
The last four years have been hard for both John and (Y/n), their father rarely spoke to them, he was always locked away in his study doing his work. Their father just ignored them making John and (Y/n) invisible to him because they had a part of Eleanor and it just made him upset and hold some hatred towards both John and (Y/n). Who knew what was going to happen in the future for the Laurens family. Whether it be good or bad? If there will be love again?
