Hello, John how is life? Are you excite for the new year?
Hi, OP here! First, I would like to say sorry that this post would be bit surprising. I had posted John's story on Amino too and as there was more ask, I was able to finish John's story in the way I wanted. I should probably send these post here too, sorry about that.
Second: Not all pictures in this post are mine. I added names of the autora as I know them from Amino.
Before start: themes and art in this post could be quite dark, read with caution.
Lafayette's diary
It was few days before Christmas 2019, when my roommate, John Laurens, ask me to go with him to see his family on impromptu trip to US.
Family he almost never had been talking about.
How could I be so stupid?
When they told us that States are under martial law and that we will lend in Canada, John totally freaked out. He almost insulted fly attendant.
We slept on the airport that night. I woke up in the middle of the night, with John nowhere to be seen. I found him outside, trying to climb the fence, bruised and with scraped knees.
I should have grabbed him, drag him to the departure hall and sat on him until we should left for England in the morning.
But I couldn't.
He already told me that he is there because his "friend" Alexander. I saw that he is scared and sad and I couldn't tell me that I don't help him.
Even tho we"borrow" a car, we spent days walking over borders. In freezing weather, with shadows we didn't know yet are dead walking, all around us.
But it wasn't dead who get us...
He shoot me to the side when I try to help John.
The other soldier punch him and call help.
Her name was Angelica Schuyler.
But it was too late.
They take us to army base. I spend three nights in hospital.
When I got better, I try to find out what happened with Alexander. That's how I met one of my now friends, Aaron Burr.
I broke his nose when he told me about Alex.
He was bitten.
Hide in house in Weehawken.
Died after few agonizing days.
Aaron met him in Lincoln tunel And shoot him.

Well...maybe he shouldn't start with that part.
We were together in Washingtons unit during war. I help to save his and Hercules Mulligan's life, when bunch of crazy white guys decided that apocalypse is good excuse for their racist bs.

My kids think I'm liying what I tell them this part. Sadly not because of that racism thing, but because of me riding on a horse, Aaron's pregnant wife and our current president being there.
But it's true!
She was, and still is, that type of girl. She survive week in house surrounded by dead, marry Aaron Burr and get whole Washingtons army to get him from trouble.
Still not sure which of those things is the craziest one.

It actually wasn't the first time I met Thomas...I mean president Jefferson.
Washington send me to get him, which, in the hindsight, wasn't the best idea.
He swore that he was in France only as a kid...
It was bit like that Termination movie to go there and try to help your "older self“

I always skip the detail about what they do to Herc. I'm... I'm just glad he is alive.

Because he was the one who hold me when Aaron chopped my leg off...

It's no use to tell people again and again that we are not zombies waiting to happened and that they don't need to be afraid to sit next to me in subway... To be in one lift with my beloved wife..
But c'est une autre paire de manches
I try to contact John's family after, but... They already create “true story" they want to told about John. They don't one to talk...
This is the story they are showing.
They wasn't married.
I don't thing they were more that friends.
Just two scared people who didn't know how to live their own lives.
Only John's younger brother was willing to talk with me. He is great guy, he study univerzity.
He don't let anybody control his life.
Something I think that if John would be more like that, he would...
He wouldn't be...
But that cannot change the past.
So I try not to think...
