"Martha! what are you doing here?" John looked at his little sister shocked. "I could not stay there no longer. I could not take another beating John. So I left. You won't send me back will you John?" She looked up at him with the kindest eyes ever and spoke in the sweetest tone. It was incredible how this young girl traveled all this way to leave her father and stay with her brother. ¨Fine you may stay here. But you must behave yourself otherwise ll send you with the Schuyler sisters like I did when you spent the weekend got it?" She nodded politely and hugged her big brother like this was the first time in years seeing him. You could see the cuts and bruises from Henry grabbing her arms. They were clear as day. I knew John wanted to take her pain away.The expression was locked in his eyes. There was nothing taking this little girl away from him. Suddenly thereś a knock at the door. "I'll get it. Martha why don't you go with John to the bathroom to freshen up okay?" She nodded again and walked with John as I opened the door and Herc and Laf walked in without saying a word. "Laf, Herc why do you look so shocked? What's going on?" "We... we umm..." "Spit it out you two... what's going on?" "We heard news that France was bombed. Laf's parents are dead." I looked at Laf. He was fighting back so many tears you could see them all in his eyes. "Laf you can cry. You're safe here." Suddenly he struck the ground sobbing profoundly. Hercules dropped to the ground and held his boyfriend in his arms letting him cry all of his anger, aggression and everything out. Oh god please let this be a dream... or a nightmare. I sighed a heavy sigh and got on the ground comforting Laf. "I'm so sorry Laf. If there's anything I can do just let me know." He sobbed some more and I stroked his back. I took a deep breath knowing how it felt to lose my family. I held back my own tears and continued to comfort my good friend and his boyfriend. Laf finally choked back his tears and smiled at me, "Thank you, Alex." I smiled, it made me feel good to help my dearest friends. John came running down with Martha running around the house giggling. John looked at us on the ground. "What the hell happened here?" "Laf's parents are dead." "Oh shit... I'm so sorry Laf." "It's alright mon ami. But Herc and I have to go to France for a few weeks." He stood up, standing tall and wiping his face, he took a shaky breath and held Herc's hand tightly as he hugged me and John both. They walked out after saying goodbye and I collapsed. I started bawling and John held me tight. We sat on the floor like that for a few hours. That entire week I lost more and more sleep everyday praying that my friends were okay across the great ocean. I hoped they would come home soon, and with that, they did. And it was amazing how much we celebrated that they were home safe and sound. We got so wasted I can't even remember what happened. But, I know we had a blast. That's all that mattered. Until... Jefferson and Madison showed up. Well shit... this is gonna be fun...
