Enjoy the photo of George Washington above :)

I wake up to the sun shining in the room where I fell asleep on Lafayette. Not to my surprise he's still there just peacefully sleeping. It may sound creepy but I like watching him like this. He's so calm and beautiful. Just perfect.

As I'm looking at his sleeping stance he starts to move and I know he's going to wake up soon. I smile at him even though he can't see it as he cuddles in closer to me. He makes a groaning noise and begins to ask me something in his morning voice,"What day is it?"

Then the realization hit me. Today is the last day before we have to part our ways so he can go back to war.

"Is it really the day I think it is?" I sigh as he sits up to get out of bed.

"I'm afraid so." he replied going to change his shirt,"Y/N I don't want to leave you like this. Not again. I'm so sorry."

"Hey." I say as he takes off his shirt so he can replace it with a new one,"Don't apologize for something you didn't do."

I wrap my arms around his waist before he can get another shirt on making him smile,"How's your foot today?"

"I can walk without being in pain so I guess that's a plus." I reply not letting go of him.

"You do know that I can't put a shirt on when you're arms are around me right?" Laf asks smiling once more.

"Who said I wanted you to put on a shirt?" I ask jokingly and we both laugh a little as I still don't let go it now being silent.

"I have to see General Washington today."

I quickly let go of him,"Yeah let's get on a shirt." He starts laughing while finally putting on a shirt finally,"Alright I'm going to go get dressed." I tell him as I grab some clothes and head to the bathroom so I could do my hair also. I get ready quickly not wanting to waist a minute I could be spending with Lafayette. Who knows how long he'll be gone. I push thoughts of what could happen to him at war as I go back to our room. He's no longer there and I assume he's talking with Washington since he told me earlier. I walk to the General's office only to stop early behind a corner hearing my name. The person who said it sounded like Lafayette.

"I can't believe you would do that. Lafayette you have to tell her." I hear Alexander say. This can't be good. What could he not want to tell me?

"In time I will." Lafayette replied.

"That time may be running short she's leaving today for the Schuyler's and you're returning to war. You have to tell her today. Lafayette please. She deserves to know." Hamilton said to him as I stand there listening.

"She's going to be so disappointed. What if she breaks up with me? I couldn't handle that. This might hurt her. No. I know it will hurt her. Alexander I can't do it."

"Relationships aren't healthy if you aren't honest." Alex replies,"I have to go just promise me you'll tell her." After Hamilton said that I quickly walked back to the room Laf and I share hoping he'll come in and tell me what him and Alexander were talking about. What could possibly make me want to break up with him? There can't possibly be anything.

"Hi." Lafayette said making me jump up from the bed startling me.

"Hey." I smile like I never knew anything about what he was probably going to tell me.

"I have to tell you something and I already am very sorry Y/N. I was just so scared and-"

"Lafayette whatever it is I'm sure it's fine. I love you." I interrupt him making him give me a weak smile on his stressed out face. He then runs a hand through his hair preparing to tell me something that will "hurt me" as Lafayette said earlier.

"I just don't know how to say this." he says quietly and calm,"When General George Washington said that you couldn't fight in the revolution I was the one who told him to do that. Y/N I was so scared. I had just met you and you were so perfect I couldn't lose you so quickly. I'm sorry." he sighs probably feeling relieved after telling me that. I sat there staring at the wall tears dwelling in my eyes.

"So." I began my voice cracking while I started talking,"Let me get this straight. You told my boss to basically fire me then proceeded to lie to my face this whole time even after he told me and you saw my reaction." I started to get worked up so then stood up my voice getting louder with every word,"Not only that but you just said that if I were to fight in the war I would get killed. Wow. I can't believe you right now."

"Y/N I didn't mean to." He says standing up then trying to get me to sit back down but I refuse.

"You didn't mean to? Are you kidding me? You didn't mean to walk up to General Washington and say "Hey there's this girl I like and she can't handle herself on the battlefield so please tell her she can't take part in this war." I totally see how you couldn't possibly mean that." I say probably raising my voice higher than I should've.

"I would never say that about you!" Lafayette yelled regretting it afterwards based on the expression of his face,"I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell."

"You can't do that." I say with a tear falling down my face.

"Do what? Please don't cry. I don't want you to cry." he said wiping away the tear.

"You can't just say I'm sorry and expect that everything is going to be okay. That's not how it works. I can't forgive you right now. Right now I can hardly look at you. You ruined so much for me. Do you even realize that? It's like you don't even care." I say as more tears fall.

"Of course I care about you. I love you Y/N."

I try to speak but no words come out until,"I have to go."

"What?" Lafayette asks as tears are now falling down his cheeks.

"I just need to." I reply now tears flooding my vision,"I love you too but I need time."

"Wait."

I turn around from where I was heading to the door only to be met by his strong arms. Instantly I fall into him and he catches me as I cry into his chest,"This is all my fault." he says quietly as the tears keep coming for both of us.
