Trigger Warnings: Mentions of diseases? Mental break downs.

||Third Person||

"What happened!? What happened to Laurens!?"

A feeling of panic swept through Alexander. The site of his friend crying was new and discomforting for him. He had never seen Laurens so upset.

"Laurens, uh, got word that his mother is in the hospital under critical condition. They say that she has a disease that can't be treated and has a very low rate of survival." Said Hercules in a quiet tone.

"What- oh my God, Laurens." Alexander said, clearly panicked. He rushed over to his friend and threw his arms around him. Laurens hugged back and sobbed into his shoulder.

//Lazily Written Flashback//

About thirty minutes into Alexander's date with Eliza, John got a phone call from the local hospital. Confused, he walked into his room and answered the call.

"Hello?" He asked in a shaky tone.

The voice from the other line was blank, "Are you John Laurens?"

"Yes? Is everything okay?" He hesitantly asked. He prayed that no one he was close with had gotten hurt.

"Then we are sorry to announce that your mother has fallen very ill with a disease that has no cure and cannot be treated in any way. But we are safe to say that she has a below 20% chance of survival. If you ever need any questions about this dilemma, please call the hospital number, 666-666-6666."

And just like that, they hung up. Leaving John completely speechless.

Everything felt surreal.

No, it couldn't be true. His mother was always so healthy.

It couldn't be true...

Laurens felt like the entire world had stabbed him in the back. He could feel his heartbeat in his head. He couldn't think straight.

'...your mother has fallen very ill with a disease that has no cure and cannot be treated in any way. But we are safe to say that she has a below 20% chance of survival'

And that's where the words kicked in.

Tears flowed down his cheeks as he fell to the ground. He sobbed into his hands as small sobs escaped his mouth.

He had always been so close to his mother. It couldn't just end now. He had so many special memories with her but they all felt like nothing now.

His father must have done something.

His father, Henry Laurens, had a really bad temper and would often lash out at people, especially his wife. Maybe he went a little too far this time.

Laurens wanted to be mad, but sadness was all he knew.

(Guys It's Quiet Uptown came on :O It fits)

||Present||

Alexander tried to stay by Laurens' side all day but nothing he did could help the situation. Laurens was suffering and he couldn't do anything about him, and that ultimately destroyed him.

He hoped that everything would be solved soon

Quick story, I was listening to stay alive reprise because I'm a depressing bitch and you know I was crying and shit when they were counting and he died and tHEN shuffle had to hit me with Take a Break where they were younger and happily counting! That destroyed me 😭😭

Anyway

Don't worry, guys, it gets much angstier. Mwuahaha.
