I was sitting on my bed in my dorm room. My roommate, Peggy, was on a date with her boyfriend, John Laurens. My phone started ringing. I looked to see the caller ID.

"Hey Herc! What's up?" I asked.

"Y/n," he said, panting. "Get over here. NOW."

He sounded urgent so I hung up and headed to his dorm. Hercules Mulligan was my best friend (besides Peggy) and he shared a dorm with my boyfriend, Gilbert de Lafayette.

I ran to their dorm. I knocked on the door and waited for it to open. Herc answered the door with anger and shock plastered on his face.

"What's u--"

"Y/n you have to see this!" He yelled as he dragged me inside thre room.

"What is it?" I asked, slightly worried.

"Laf. It-It's Laf." He answered.

"What about him?" I asked with worry in my tone. "Is he okay?"

"Just-just listen." He said and pulled me in front of Lafayette's room.

I heard loud moaning inside. My eyes widened. Tears stung my eyes as the moaning didn't stop. I walked away from the door, shaking my head.

"Maybe-maybe someone else is--"

"No Y/n. No one would go inside his room." Hercules said.

"How can we be sure?" I asked.

"The door is locked, I tried." Hercules said. "Tried calling, failed."

I looked around the room. Laf wouldn't. He woud never cheat on me.... right? I kicked open the door to see Laf on top of the sluttiest slut on campus, Maria Lewis.

Laf turned to me, his eyes were wide. He said dark red lip stick smudged on his face and hickies on his neck. He looked so shocked to see me.

I felt tears roll down my cheeks. Hercules stood next to me. The was an unfortable silence in the dorm room.

"I swear it's not what you thi--"

"NOT WHAT I THINK?!" I yelled, the tears coming down faster. "YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?!I THINK MY BOYFRIEND IS CHEATING ON ME!!"

"Y/n... ple--"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU ASSHOLE!!" I yelled. "IT'S OVER! WE'RE DONE! HAVE FUN WITH THIS SLUT!!"

I stormed off, crying. I heard foot steps behind me. I turned, expecting to see Lafayette but instead saw Hercules.

"Look, Y/n I'm sorry--"

"It's fine." I said, swallowing hard. "It-it's fine, Herc."

I walked off. I didn't know what to do. Go to my friends and ask for comfort? I doubt they'd help. Without thinking, I ended up on the roof of the dorm building.

I looked over the city. The sun was about to set, slowly disappearing from the sky. I watched as New Yorkers ran through the busy streets. Yellow cabs stuck in traffic.

Tears started falling again. Was it me? Did I so something to him to make him cheat on me? Did I love him too little? Did I love him too much? What did I do wrong?

I slowly walked towards the railing on the edge. I gripped the railing, my knuckles turning white in the process. It was going to be night soon. People in the city would still be going around with their business. Normally, Laf and I would watch the stupidest movies we could find. We'd laugh and... it was... good.

I choked out a sob as I remembered what he did. I wouldn't have a shoulder to cry on, no hand to hold. Now I was alone. Alone on this roof top. Alone where no one can see me. Alone where no one will know.

Out of impluse, I hoisted one leg up the railing. My arms were shaking. I was so close. My heart beat grew faster by the second, increasing every moment. I pushed myself up, quicker this time.

Then I heard yelling. More tears rolled down my cheek. I desperately tried to push myself off but strong arms grabbed me and pelled me back.

"Y/n don't!" I recognized the voice. Hercules.

"No! Let go!" I yelled with tears pouring down.

His grip tightened around me. His face was burried on my nape. I could feel his tears trickled down into my shirt.

"I'm not letting you do this, Y/n." He yelled, sobbing a little. "I'm not losing you."

I gave in.

The tears falling like an endless water fall. I stopped squirming and he let go. I fell on my knees, crying. What was I doing? What was I thinking?

Herc knelt next to me and pulled me into a hug. I burried my face into his chest, wrapping my arms around him. I sobbed into his shirt as he rubbed my back, whispering sweet things into my ear.

"I'm not gonna let you get hurt, not by you. Not by that French asshole. Not by anyone." He said and tightened the hug.

I couldn't answer. I just sobbed and cried. I felt his tears drip onto my shirt. I burried my face deeper into his chest. I felt safe in his arms. I felt safe with him.

We pulled away from the hug. He placed one hand on my cheek and wiped away my tears.

"I promise, as long as I live nothing and no one will hurt you. I'll always be here to save you. I promise." He said, caressing my face.

Thanks to Herc, I'm still alive. I'm saved.

A/n: This wasn't requested. I just roleplayed this one time and completely forgot the story. Then I remembered and yeah.

Herc, you amazing person.

Laf, you connard.
