To add suspense, listen to the music above.

The very next day, the John Laurens arrived at the dueling ground with Hamilton for backup. Charles Lee arrived with George and Samuel. The dueling ground was a secluded spot on a cliff far from camp.

Alexander's POV

"Laurens, I love you more than anything in this life. Do not throw away your shot." I advised him. John pulled my face close to his. "I have to defend my honor. I love you Alexander." then he walked to Charles.

Unsuspectingly, Charles turned around and punched John in the gut. He fell to the ground.

Fighting Starts Here

He took a step forward and stomped on John. Ouch. That looked painful. Next, he picked up John to throw him. If you didn't know, Charles has at least one foot on John, height-wise.

John decided to fight back and punch Charles in the face. I could hear something crack all the way from where I was standing. He dropped John to the ground and pinched his nose. Laurens saw this as the opportunity to attack Charles. George and Samuel ambushed him. Punch after punch. All of this over an argument. I had to do something. Anything. I ran and kicked George where the sun doesn't shine. He fell to the ground in pain.

As I ran to get Samuel off of John, Charles pulled something out of his leather jacket. A gun???!

"Take one step closer, and Mr. Freckles goes." He said, motioning the barrel towards John. I froze. Let John get beaten, or let John die. I could do neither. I was torn between two decisions.

How did that idiot get hired for a childrens' summer camp?

John's POV

I looked the barrel of the gun in the eye. I knew what I had to do. "Alex!" I called. I ran over to him and kissed him. "Remember me." I whispered, and ran towards Lee, in an effort to defend us. I heard Alex call my name. I looked to see Charles put his finger on the trigger.

The whole world froze and the only thing in sight was Alex. A single tear went down his cheek. He knew what was about to happen. Charles pulled the trigger. I heard a resounding bang. I felt a sharp pain in my side as I fell to the ground, unable to move. I screamed bloody murder (literally). Alex ran up to me and kissed my lips. Tears poured out of his eyes and hit my cheeks.

"John! John....stay with me! Stay WITH ME!! I LOVE YOU, DON'T GO!!! PLEASE!!!!" he screamed.

His image got more blurry, and everything started to fade away.

Then I saw white.

Oops well i made dying sound cringey that is absolutely weird oops also the rest of this is cringey so read at ur own risk.
