Theodosia's POV

Poor Philip. I don't think he understands that lightning doesn't make noise. There was lighting, but the sound was clearly thunder. I'm wondering if 16 year olds are allowed to be enrolled in kindergarten. Me and Philip walk to the window and see two boys. They are probably about our age. I can't help but stare. They are dressed kind of weird. Futuristic, honestly. I wonder if they need help. They're just sitting there on the street. Quite confusing if you ask me. That's when I see my dad, Aaron Burr. He asks Alexander Hamilton, how he is doing. Phillip is still looking at the two boys.

"Philip, who's that?" I point at a young woman in a red dress walking towards his dad. He looks at her.

"I... don't know..." He walks out the door.

"Hey dad!!!" He yells pretty loud and runs to Alexander. I could tell he was paranoid about something. I just couldn't place it.

"Umm... yes, son...?"

The woman stops walking. Alexander looks over at her. That's when the boys come running up to him. He looks away and at them.

"Yes?"

"Umm... we... are... ummmm.... sick! We need help." The blonde boy says to Alexander.

"Oh, what do you need?" He asks.

"We need rest but we... are homeless." the black haired boy says.

He looks over at Philip.

"Would you take them into Theodosia's and let them rest, Philip?"

Phillip looks worried.

"Ummm.... I guess." He hesitates.

Phillip leads them into my house. We introduce ourselves.

"Hi. I'm Philip, and this is my girlfriend, Theodosia."

"Cool! I'm Will! And this is my boyfriend," The blonde boy says.

"Nico." The black haired boy interrupts.

"Anyways, how are you sick?" Philip asks.

"Oh, we were faking that. We need to stop your dad from... something... questionable."

"Huh?" I intervene

"He would never do anything... questionable."

Will shrugs

Maria POV

This is the third time today that my husband, James, has hit me. He really scares me, honestly. Before I say the rest, I have a few wishes that I would do anything to make them come true.

1. I want to be financially stable. I hate bring sooooo poor. I want to be able to get nice stuff and not have to worry.
2. I want my daughter to go to school. James won't help pay for it. I don't know how I'm going to get that much money, though.
3. I want to have someone who actually cares about me. James abuses me and doesn't help with anything.

I want to go out to the market today. I have a few dollars, maybe I can get a loaf of bread. I get on a red dress, put in golden eyeshadow, and red lipstick. I ask my daughter to clean the house while I'm gone. I leave my house, and start walking. It takes a pretty long time to walk to the market from my house. As I'm walking, I see a person off in the distance. I could be wrong, but I thought it looked like Alexander Hamilton. I've heard of him before. He seems like a very nice person. I start to walk up to him, just to talk to him. That's when a 16 year old boy comes running out of a house claiming that Alexander was his dad. I stop walking.
