(Johns Pov)

"John Laurens get your ass over here now!" Washington yelled from across the store. but I see potato chips. I haven't eaten on four days. I'll just grab the chips and then go help out. I dashed for the chips snacking them before running towards Washington picking up my daughter and carrying her the rest of the way to my group, only noticing that we are surrounded by zombies. Frances started to cry.

"shh princess its ok" I kissed her forehead and told her to close her eyes, so she doesn't have to watch me stab walkers. Frances nodded and whashington shot two walkers. I stabbed one and Peggy shot one. but then around fifteen more stumbles toward us joining the ten we had not "killed". we were outnumbered...by a lot. there's no way im surving this.

"hey!" A boy shouted from the roof across the street he was short probably about five inches shorter than me. he was wearing. black mask that covered his face telling by the way he spoke im assuming he was from the around here, he wore a a hoodie and black jeans. he carried a knife he seemed familiar.  anyways he yelled hey attracting almost all the zombies and killing them only leaving us with three and an injured Peggy. the boy finished killing the zombies and walked over to us stopping infront of me.

"um hello?" not gonna lie im lowkey scared right now. the boy reaches his hand up resting it on my cheek I lean into the touch putting my hand on his. why is this so familiar. he removed his hand looking at frances.

"butterfly?" where have I heard that before?

"thank you for saving us." Lafayette said.

"I should be going now-" the stage man replied turning to leave

"no wait!" Washington interrupted grabbing the man.

"sorry da- sir I really must go" Frances started crying. the man sighed finally giving in. wait did he almost say dad? "well I can't say no to my bu- the baby. where are you guys heading to?"

"NO! this stanger will not join our group! he can't even show his face!"

"Angelica he just save our lives!"

"I don't give a shit unless you know this man we have to go now!" but I do know him...I just don't know how.

"she's right I should go" and with that he did a cool parkour thing onto the roof of a building and was gone. I sighed and me and my group went back to our small shared apartment but I couldn't help but think about the strange man the fact that a Frances and Phillip oh yea I have two kids frances is almost five Pip is ten they both knew him. that he almost called mister Washington dad. when he out his hand on my cheek. it all felt so familiar like I maybe knew him. he was so skilled with his knife its amazing. he's almost scary. I need to find him.

(I'm pretty sure that pip was younger irl but the story works better this way)

"are you ok, dad?" pip asked me. I nodded in response he smiled that beautiful smile that can make anyone happy. I smiled back at him as we enter the dirty apartment.

"Peggy where's Laf?" I asked looking back seeing everyone enter the room except Lafayette.

"he went to go look for mystery boy"

"shit, ok watch frances and Phillip he can't be out this late." I grabbed my knife and ran out of the room before any one could stop me.

(time skip)

ugh where is he- oh I found him on top of a roof talking to mystery boy he didn't seem to be enjoying the conversation he seemed very serious, he had his hood down but his mask still on he had his long dark brown hair pulled into a messy ponytail. I looked around (looOoooOOok AroOOouUund- sorry ill leave...) to check for walkers before yelling."YO MYSTERY BOY" he looked down at me."COME DOWN HERE" Laf sighed and turned to the stairs while the masked boy did his parkour thing down next to me staring onto space refusing to look at me.

"how do you know my kids?" he shook his head telling me that he will not answer. "ok well do you have a place to stay" he shook his head again.

"your friends an asshole..."yea she is.

"John, John Laurens"

"I'm sorry I cannot tell you my real name"

"thats ok" I said cheerfully.

"why so happy?" I shrugged and began walking motioning him to follow which he did. still not looking at me simply walking nothing else until I asked him one question.

"do I know you?"

"No." he answered far too quickly.

"your lying."

"No I do not I don't know you." he seemed to be getting a bit nervous so I decided to stop asking him question the rest of the walk was silent the occasional killing of zombies mostly by the mystery boy he's kinda hot when he's killing- ugh I hate my mind.
