You and Laurens are courting one another, but you haven't told anyone.

This one also got really sad, sorrryyyy. It starts fluffy, I swear.

Your POV:

You yawned. It was 4 AM, and you had just spent the entire night hanging out with John.

"It's cute how no one knows we're courting each other already and they keep trying to set us up togethe-hey, you should sleep." John rambled, before looking over at you and smiling softly. You hummed agreeably and kissed his cheek.

"Mmh kay...night night..." You whispered. You fell asleep quickly, when you were woken by a voice.

"John?! Y/n?! What are you- why are you- are you two...?!?!?" Peggy asked rapidly, confused. You sleepily rose, John's arms around you, bags under his chocolate brown eyes.

"Um...yeah. We are. What are you doing here?" You asked, smiling and kissing his cheek, before looking back at Peggy. She was grinning.

"So that's why you guys won't court each other! You already are!" She said, ignoring your question.

"Don't tell my parents, they'll never allow it." You pleaded, eyes widening. She bit her lip, then smiled.

"Okay! Can I tell Angie and Eliza? And Alex and Herc and Laf?" She asked. You got the inside of your cheek, then looked over at John. He nodded. Peggy squealed, then smiled.

"Anyway, I gotta go. I'll come by for milk later." She said, shrugging, then turning around and leaving.

"...How did she get a key...?" You murmured to yourself, smiling softly.

"Heh. Right. Hey, love...?" John asked timidly. "Mmh hmm?" You answered. "I have to leave today...just for a little. I'm going down to South Carolina. I'll be back in two day, tops."

You frowned slightly, then covered it with a smile. You had a feeling he wasn't telling you everything, but brushed it off.

"Okay love. I have something to tell you when you get back." You blushed. Your freckled boyfriend cocked his head to the side confused, then smiled brightly.

"Okay! See you then, I should go now. I love you so much more then you'll ever know." He grinned, kissing your forehead, then your lips, slowly and softly. You hugged him tightly, lips connected, arms around his neck. John had one hand in your hair, and the other in your waist, keeping you standing.

"I love you." He whispered, pulling away, then walking out the door, smiling giddily.

A week later and you had heard nothing from him. You read the newspaper, when you saw a story about a general who was shot and killed in South Carolina. Your heartbeat quickened as you frantically flipped the pages.

"No no no no no." You whispered, scanning the article. "Shit shit, no no no." Your eyes grinned with tears, the words on the page blurring.

You sobbed loudly as you picked up the ring you were going to give him when he returned. A small turtle was in a cave next to it, with a note reading "Will you marry me?". Your body shook with sobs as you fell to your knees.

"D-dammit. Why didn't I ask him that day?" You whispered, tears falling onto your dress.

Peggy suddenly burst in the door our of breath, clutching a newspaper as well, looking panicked. She took one look at you, then fell to her knees beside you. Her two sisters weren't far behind, and soon they were cradling your head tightly, whispering soothing words.

"If only I could tell him now..." You whispered, weeping.
