John Laurens was leading his soldiers during the Battle of Yorktown. Laurens and his battalion fought relentlessly with the British. But little did they know, a few minuter ago the war ended. The Americans won.

John Laurens was shot by a British soldier.

*gunshot*

I'm going to die on the battlefield in glory and rise up.

I'm running out of time.

*hits the ground*

My phone's still in my pocket. I need to call Alexander, let him know that I still love him. I reach into my pocket and grab my cell phone. Ow. Bullet wounds suck. From the wounds I've seen, I have about 5-6 minutes. With difficulty, I dial his number.

*ring*

John?

Hey, Alex.

I haven't talked to you in so long, how are you?

Ha. Not great.

I'm fine.

You sound different.

Just a stomach ache.

Oh. Did you need anything?

Actually, yes. You probably won't care. Actually, you'll probably be disgusted. I wanted you to know that I still love you.

Alex paused.

You...you do?

I never got over you. You're the best thing that ever happened to me.

He paused again. What was he supposed to say? I just confessed my love for him...again.

Yea. I know Eliza can probably provide for you better than I can. You guys are better for each other.

A beat.

J-John. Eliza and I broke up 2 months ago.

My heart lifted. I could have him back! Oh wait... how did I forget? I'm dying.

Wow... you did?

I've been thinking, maybe you and I could get back together?

Ha. I wish.

It's getting harder to breathe.

My time's running out.

That's exactly what I was thinking. But it won't happen, Alex.

What? Why not?

Oh, you know, I'm dying.

I struggle to pull a breath in.

Alexander, I love you. I hope that whoever you find gives you the best life.

Wha-

I hang up. I'm not going to let him hear me die. I struggle to pull in my last breath, and feel my eyes softly close.

I'll see you on the other side.
