Another modern Hamilton fanfic no one asked for. Alexander Hamilton has a dark past, living most of his life in awful conditions. Orphaned at only 12 years old. However, moving to New York in search of a better future John Laurens hides his home life, scared of what people would say about his alcoholic father with abusive tenancies. There paths collide as they're both trying to simply make it to there high school graduation in one piece. Includes other ships but mainly Lams. Trigger warnings: ABUSE, SELF HARM, SEXUAL ASSAULT, DEATH, CUSSING, HOMOPHOBIA If these are triggers for you. I suggest you don't read this because this might not be for you. Also this is my first fanfic so constructive criticism is appreciated. But please don't attack me in the comments. I also do NOT own Hamilton, it's characters or the cover art
