  ~John's P.O.V~

~A month later~

It was finally that time me and my friends all received a letter from George Washington about a week ago, saying that we were able to join the revolution and fight beside him to win against the British. I was scared knowing that today was the day I had to leave. It was time to tell (Y/n). I hope this doesn't break her heart she doesn't deserve that at all.

~(Y/N)'s P.O.V~

I wake up getting dressed into one of my corsets only doing it up slightly, I put a long (F/c) lace dress on that had a large (F/c) bow at the back. It had a slight puff to it not much though. I make myself presentable and head out walking past my papa's study seeing it closed like always. I sigh heading down the stairs making my way to the kitchen to go make some breakfast for Laurens and his friend, seeing as they probably have a busy day today in store for them. I hum to myself as I make the food, I hear someone walking into the kitchen causing me to jump a little. I giggle to myself dishing up the food. I carry the plates over placing them on the table. I look up smiling at my brother and his friend. "Good morning to you Miss Laurens, this looks amazing thank you so much for making this." I smile, "It was my pleasure sir, we usually never have visitors here anymore." John nods sadly sitting down beside me, Alexander sitting in front of me. They shared very small talk I just daydreamed as I ate my food, until I heard John calling my name.

"(Y/n), oh earth to (Y/n)!" I look to him quickly responding "S-sorry John what is the matter?" He looks to me sadly taking my hands in his. I make eye contact with him, his green eyes slowly becoming tearful. My big (E/c) widen as I look at him. "John? What is the matter? Why do y-you have t-tears in your eyes?" This was very rare I haven't seen him come close to tears in years. Something bad must of happen! Wait is papa okay?

"(Y/n), I'm sorry I should have told y-you this sooner, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. (Y/n) I'm going to be gone for a few weeks, months, maybe years I'm not sure. I joined the revolution." My eyes widen tear begin to fall. Alexander looks at us sadly tears nearly falling from his eyes. He looks at me as I look at him making eye contact with him, he blushes slightly and walks out leaving us have privacy. I look back to John unsure of what to say my heart was breaking. He is my only family left who cares about me, papa isn't going to spend time with me while John is gone. I'm going to be all alone and I don't even know how long it will be like this!

"(Y/n) p-please say something, I'm sorry my darling but I have to do this, I have to protect you I promised m-" I quickly cut him off tears falling harder staining my dress, I grip my dress in my hands. I look up at him. "J-John y-you can't go!  You're the o-only person I have left that cares about me! I can't lose you John!" He pulls me onto his lap and wraps his arms around me tightly I hug him back crying. He strokes my (h/l) curly (h/c) hair. I hold onto him tightly crying into his shoulder shaking. "John, p-please I don't want y-you to leave me, y-you can't! W-what if you die and I n-never get to see you again!" He lifts my head up making me look at him tears fall from his eyes too. "(Y/n) my dear, I p-promise you I will stay alive for you, I will come home to you. I promised mother that I will protect you and keep you safe. (Y/n) I will never break that promise, never! I love you too much to see you in pain I will come home to you (Y/n) I mean it!" I smile sadly looking at him. "John, p-please come home, you can't leave me. P-please don't do anything stupid." I sigh sadly looking at him.

He takes something out from his jacket pocket. He hands me over a box. I look at it sadly as he opens it, my eyes widen looking at the necklace inside. It was a small heart pendent that had a little green stone the shade of green like Johns eyes. He puts it on me and I cry holding it in my hands. He gets his necklace out showing he had a silver chain like mine just with a small stone on it the same shade as my (E/c) eyes. "We both have something to remind us of each other okay (Y/n)? Whenever you're sad or feeling lonely just hold the heart or look at it okay? It will remind you that I'm thinking of you every second of the day and that I love you dearly. (Y/n) I promise I will write to you every day."

I nod sadly looking at the pendent. I get off his lap, he stands up holding my hand he walks out heading to Alexander, he nods. "(Y/n)" He kneels looking up at me, I look at him sadly tears falling again. "Me and Alexander must leave now (Y/n) promise me you're going to be a strong young lady now please be careful when going places. If anyone does anything or hurts you please let me know as soon as possible and I will try everything in my power to help you." I nod sadly more tears fall, he stands up pulling me in for a tight hug, he peppers my forehead in kisses. I giggle a little hugging him back tighter. I hear the carriage outside I start to worry. Soon enough there was a knock at the door, Alexander heads to it opening the door getting greeted by a solider. "John, it's time." He says sadly, I start crying again holding onto John. "I am going to m-miss you terribly big brother. P-please stay safe and stay alive! I love you John more than anything p-please whatever you do don't leave me please John." He hugs me back stroking my hair. "(Y/n) I will come home safe to you, I promised you that darling. I will miss you terribly, you're my everything and the light in my life. I will come home to you. I love you too little sister more than anything. I will write to you as soon as I get there." I nod sadly as he lets me go. I feel more tears falling. I watch him and Alexander leave with the solider. The door closes harshly I jump realisation sinking in. I race to the door opening it quickly. I see them getting into the carriage. John waves to me I wave back tears falling. With a blink of an eye the carriage was gone. John was gone.

I grab a cloak quickly running out to the gate, I watch as it leaves heading into the distance. I cry whispering to myself. "Mother, if you can hear me, please l-look over John. P-please make sure he comes home mother safe and doesn't get hurt." I wipe my tears sadly walking back into the house, running up to my room I collapse on my bed crying to myself hugging a teddy I had as a child. John please come home soon I don't know what to do without you. I hold the necklace looking to it.

John, I will make you proud I promise...

~John's P.O.V~

I look out of the window of the carriage watching as we left heading to the camp. A single tear slips as I hold the necklace in my hand.

(Y/n), I will fight for you, I will be home beside you soon my dear sister. I will make you proud I promise...
