Peggy POV
It had been weeks since I arrived. Mr. General had moved the nurses and troops all over the eastern sea board. I wasn't used to this much work but it was fun. I knew my sisters wouldn't enjoy it. They support me no doubt but they would never join. I understand. It's a lot but I can handle it.
Aaron, Herc, and Mr. General were getting ready for a big fight. Yorktower or something. I was the assist to mr General which meant I got to be on call for him at all times.
Alex is in South Carolina {prolly writing a shit load of letters to laurens...} and Laf was stuck in Brittan. I had helped him with his English accent which sounded more southern than anything. I mean as long as he doesn't sound French...
I was in the tent preparing bandages when I heard a loud shout. Guns were being fired. Men were being rolled in. Reality hit me like a ton of bricks. This was war. People were gonna get hurt. People were gonna die. Tears came to my eyes but I blinked them back. Aaron could die.
I pushed the dark thoughts out of my head. I was the one in charge. Ow as the head of this nurse tent. I was calling the shots...
"Clara, over there. Amanda, get the bandages. Julie get the damp cloth." I barked orders like never before. I can't remember a time at home when I was this assertive. We're not at home, I reminded myself.
Laf POV
I have been in England for a few weeks and have not recieved any letters. Which is good because someone might see it.
I am Lafayette: súper spy... no one knows.
A Frenchman spying on the British government, I take the measurements information and I smuggle it. Tell my brothers revolutionary- oOoOoOOo a pretty butterfly...
I like butterflies. They're pretty. oH! You know what else I'd pretty? Herc- I wonder how he is...
Herc POV
God I miss Laf-
Im stationed in Chesapeake Bay. The General is way up the eastern seaboard with Peggy and Alex is a little below me. But Mari Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier de La Fayette, Marquis de La Fayette? Yeah he was in England.
Probably hadn't thought of me in a while. Maybe he even forgot about me?!
Nevermind
I need to focus on the fight
My questionable feelings are invalid
Alex POV
I was stationed in South Carolina. I can't believe Jakie grew up here! I wish he was here. For no reason in particular. I just miss my family.
I heard word from one of my men that the battle of Yorktown began a week ago.
We gotta attack while we still can.
Peggy POV
Everyone was busy running around, helping people, mending wounds, saving lives.
The battle had come to a lull. Only about 1 ½ patients in the tent (don't ask it was an accident)
I felt farmiliar hands on my shoulder. "Hey pegs." Aaron whispered soothingly. "Got a second?" He let go of my shoulders and wrapped his arms around my neck but like not tight. In the cutest way. You know. Right? Anyway so I laughed and kissed him on the cheek.
"Well, you you have a minute?" He asked as I crossed the room to put some bandages away. "Well I guess I could-" I turned and looked in a full length mirror and saw a bloody handprint on my shoulders.
I dropped a tray and it clattered to the floor. My mouth is agape. I couldn't move. "A-A-Aaron, y-your ha-ands." I managed slowly turning around. Sure enough, his hands were covered in blood that seemed to be coming from his mid-calf.
He looked at his hand sand gave me a sheepish smile, hiding them behind his back. "I didn't wanna worry you"he trailed off.
I shook out of the shock. Oh my lord. My boyfriend had been shot in the leg.
Shoving him down onto the operating table, I poured some alcohol on it making Aaron wince. I took some steak tweezers and slowly plucked the bullet out. To be completely honest, I gagged a little bit. I've done it at least 10 times today already but there's something's bout plucking a bullet out of your loved one that's just not very appealing.
~an hour later~
"Whew" i exhaled plopping down on the side of Aaron's bed. "You are all set mister Burr"
He pushed some of my hair out of my face, "you make quite a nurse, Schuyler" I blushed hard at this,
God he's amazing.
Washington's POV
After 3 weeks of fighting a. Your gonna man in a red coat stands on a parapet. We all lower our guns and Hercules and I made our way over to negotiate the terms of surrender.
We won
We actually won!!
I get to see my wife
Laf POV

Herc POV

ALEXANDER POV
So I heard the war is over. This is great. All of the groups are retreating. Nothing could go wrong.
I made my way to the mail boy. He handed me a letter from Jackie at which I was very excited.
I made my way across the field. Thinking of how I would be able to meet me son!!!! Or daughter...
OR SON!!!
Either way I'll love them.
I found myself tripping on a root and dropping the letter. I bet down to grab it and heard a horrific sound.
It echoed in my ears. I could hear it vibrating my bones an penetrating my soul.
I heard a gunshot.
