Escalation

Playroom and Broken Body

"I'm gonna go play!" Angie said, but everyone ignored her and talked about other things like work and McDonald's. After a while, Hamilton said, "Hey, where's Angie?" Hamilton peeked outside the hallway.

"Ah, she's in the playroom." Hamilton realized. "Philip, go play with your sister," he said. "Okay, Pops!" he replied.

"I'm going to go watch our children," Eliza said. "I have so much work to do." Hamilton then replied to Eliza.

A few minutes had past and Hamilton was getting bored, so he decided to go check on his children as well.

A shiver went down his spine as he walked to the playroom, he remembered that there was a huge gap in the hallway on the way to the playroom. He took a deep breath and took a leap of faith, sadly, that did not end well as he did not look down at the gap or jump either.

Eliza was smiling as she looked down, but her face quickly turned to a frown. "Hamilton! Are you okay?" Hamilton was on the verge of tears. "What do you think, Eliza! I just fell 13 feet onto the sidewalk!" Eliza, Philip, and Angie all jumped down to comfort him. The only one who broke his leg was Philip.

Philip got his wheelchair sooner than his father. Instead of everyone comforting him, they all comforted Philip instead. All of them went back to the playroom and Hamilton had to limp all the way there.

He then once again leaped faith, but, like before, it didn't work out either, breaking his left leg.

After an hour or two, he was finally given a wheelchair. But, sadly, there were stairs so he had to crawl all the way up.  He then, again, tried jumping over the gap to the playroom. But, once again like before, he broke another bone in his body.

This time, he broke his right arm. "How will I write like I'm running out of time now?" He yelled, once again on the verge of tears. Angelica smirked as if she was waiting for this moment her entire life. "You do need to go to a cabinet meeting, don't you?"

Hamilton's eyes grew wide, he had almost forgotten. "Oh no, the cabinet meeting! I had nearly forgotten!

"Heh, don't worry Hamilton! I'll fill in for you!" Angelica said. Hamilton looked at her as if she was offended. "No, Angelica! I can still rap, it's not like my jawbone is broken! Angelica then scoffed, "Well, it doesn't matter if you don't want me to, I still will anyways."

Eliza grew angry. "You can't do that!" she yelled. "If Alex can't walk to the cabinet meeting, I'LL CARRY HIM THERE!"

Angelica rolled her eyes and walked next to Eliza, who was carrying Alexander. As they reached the cabinet meeting, Angelica said, "Hello, everybody. Today, I will be filling in for Alexander." Eliza dropped Hamilton onto his chair. "NO, YOU WON'T! I ASSURE YOU THAT ALEX IS WELL ENOUGH TO ARGUE!"

Angelica scoffed and left the room and Eliza followed. "Ahem!" said Thomas Jefferson, breaking the silence.

They then began as if nothing happened, thankfully. Hamilton was a little embarrassed but he tried to ignore the chuckles of spectators during that incident.
