I'm currently in between coming home from my camp and going to North Carolina. So I'll try to update before I leave.

You stayed at the hospital 24/7, never eating, never sleeping. Alex would always come to check on you and Laurens. He couldn't make you eat anything, but he made you drink some water. Here's how that went:

"Come on! You'll die if you don't eat!" Alex said. "Alex I'm fine." You grumbled back."

Your brother sighed. "Well then at least have some water."

"I said I was fine."

"No you're not!" He shot back. "If you won't drink anything, I will personally shove this glass down your throat!"

You gave Alex a death glare and took the cup from his hands. He watched you carefully as you took one small sip. "The whole thing." Alex stared you down. You drank all of the water and and angrily slammed the cup down on the bedside table. "There! You happy?" You snarled.

"Well I would be happier if you ate something." He said. You almost threw a chair at him.

Alex finally left and the sky turned from a baby blue into a swirl orange, yellow, and pink. It was as if a painter had dabbed his brush and rubbed it across a canvas, creating a perfect scenery. You watched all of this out of a small opening in the corner of the tent.

The bright colors didn't last long, sundown turned to twilight, and twilight into night. Your favorite time. It was always a getaway from your step mother, but most of all, the stars. Hundreds, millions, way to many to count dotted the sky, sprinkled in random places, creating constellations.

You looked back at John, and sighed. you wished he was able to see what you were seeing. You walked away from the small window-like hole, and made your way to the chair next to the hospital bed. you sat in complete silence for a moment, but then a quiet voice could be heard near you. "What were ya looking at?"

Immediately realizing who it was, you jumped out of the chair. "Laurens? Is that you?" You asked. "Yup." He chuckled slightly. Tears of joy came to your eyes. You embraced him gently. "Th-they thought you would die." You said crying harder. John touched your cheek lightly.

"Well I'm here, aren't I?" He said. Then he gave a you bittersweet look. "Y/n, listen. Even if I did die, I'll always be with you, and I will always love you. There's nothing that will make me stop or love you less. The day I first saw you, I fell. Well rather you fell, literally, but I fell in love. You should know, when I fell in love, I knew that I could, or will never be able to get back out of it."

"I love you, so much." You said to him, and kissed him gently.

"Ahem." You heard someone in the background clear her throat and you quickly pulled away. "Well, I see that you've woken up." Mary said. She eyed you as to say 'I knew it from the very beginning.'. You blushed a deep red. "Was this a bad time to come?" Mary said, continuing to tease you but according to John's bright red face, she was killing two birds with one stone.

Mary continued with her teasing, obviously amused the both of you, but then turned her voice to a more professional tone. "Since I see that Laurens is doing better, he is now released from his hospital charges, but no fighting for two weeks.

"Thank you so much." You said to your friend.

"Yes, thank you very much, ma'am." John said happily.

"You're very welcome, and call me Mary." She replied, giving a goodbye wave.

When she left, you started twirling around the room in celebration. "Y/n I don't think I've ever seen you this happy before!" John joked, slowly getting out of his hospital bed for the first time in days. His legs were a little wobbly at first, so you had to help him, but his steps gradually grew stronger until they were back to normal.

When the others heard about his release from the hospital, they all came over. "Ve need to celebrate!" Lafayette exclaimed. Hercules chimed in. "How 'bout we go to the bar!"

"No thanks guys," Laurens said, "I'm gonna wait for a while." The men looked at him, surprised, but then shrugged it off, and started their usual shenanigans.

So that, is how the seventh week went.
