Alexander Hamilton and John Laurens are in love during the American Revolution, when their love could get them killed. 

 Alex's POV

I guess you can say that I have been through a lot during the nineteen years I've already been on this earth. I saw the destruction of my home, the death of my dear mother, and many other terrible things.

So I did the only thing I could do. I wanted a place to start anew, wipe the slate clean, become a different person.

I found myself in no place other than America. Talking to none other than a strange man named Aaron Burr.

" Talk less, smile more," he stated, his facial expression grim. I rolled my eyes. I had asked where the nearest bar was located, I desperately needed a drink. I had to get my mind off some things.

" Thank you for your time," I half-heartedly thanked the man. I guess I'm doing this myself. I turned around and stared down the street. People were walking here and there, going about their busy day, minding their own business.

Who should I ask for directions now? I glanced to my left and saw a young man around my age leaning against a wall, all alone. After a moment of contemplation, I decided to walk over.

When I did, he smiled kindly then stepped forward to greet me. " Hello, my name is Alexander Hamilton, do you have a second?" I asked politely.

" Yeah sure," he replied, casually reaching behind his head to fluff up his hair. I nodded and explained my dilemma. Suddenly he gasped and exclaimed, " Fortunately for you, my friend, I'm headed to the bar at this very moment. Would you care to join me?"

I thought for a minute. I hardly know this man, but how else am I going to get drunk?

" Sure, is anyone else going to be there?" I asked him. He shrugged. " Just a couple of friends." I nodded.

As we started to walk, he introduced himself as John Laurens. I found myself being quite drawn to John, he's very easy to talk to. I told him everything that had happened to me in the past few weeks, arriving in America, traveling, and much much more.

I think I may have even finally found a friend.
