True Love (Lafayette x Maria) Hamilton

Notes

Maria POV

Weeks passed and it was finally time to go on the trip to France. I got my bags and carried them to the car. Lewis drove me to the school and I assured him that I would be fine, I thanked him a lot because he didn't get the movie he wanted just so I could go on this trip. He worked many jobs, day and night just so I could go. I hugged him tightly and grabbed my bag to go put it on the bus. I stood around with my friends waiting for Mr. Washington to call out the seating arrangements. My brother wouldn't leave until he knew I was on the bus safely. I told him I would be right but ever since we lost our parents Lewis became really protective of me. Soon Mr. Washington called us all over and told us the seating arrangements for the bus. Luckily, I sat next to Peggy. It was a 2 hour bus ride to get to the airport from our school. I waved goodbye to my brother then sat next to Peggy. Our whole friend group was around us so it didn't really matter who we got to sit with. I could tell Peggy was sad she didn't get to sit next to John but she was still happy that she got to sit next to me. Hours passed after singing alone to music and playing card games when we finally got to the airport. We unloaded from the bus then went to go through security and get ready for the plane trip. I messaged Lewis telling him that I was ok and everything was going well. He replied thanking me and telling me to have a good time. I was worried about him though. We hadn't really been apart since mum and dad died, especially not for this long.

We sat in the waiting bay (A/N Is that what you call it?) waiting for the plane to come when Mr. Washington told us who we would be sitting next to. Peggy was sitting with John and Thomas, which Peggy was over the moon about. All she wanted was to be next to John and watch movies with him. I sat with Lafayette and because there was a spot in first class that was free Mr. Washington said me and Laf could have it because we were responsible and he had to keep an eye on the other students so they didn't annoy the other passengers. We took the offer and walked into first class and found our seats. We sat down as the plane started to take off and I ordered us both a glass of lemonade. Laf asked if I wanted to watch a movie so I agreed. An hour went by and we finished watching the movie. I saw Laf getting nervous, I wasn't sure if it was because he was scared about going back to his home country or not. He didn't speak a lot of French anymore.

" Hey Laf?" I turned and looked at him, our eyes locking together.

"Yes Maria?" He replied with his eyes becoming glossy like he was about to cry.

"Whats wrong? You look nervous are you ok? Can I help in any way?" I asked him nervously trying not to freak him out.

"Maria." He paused, taking his eyes off me. I continued to look at his face. I never noticed how great his skin was. (A/N What the beep am I writing )

"I need to tell you something and I think it's important and please don't freak out." He spat out. I continued to look at him and I grabbed his hands.

"Laf? Are you ok?" I spoke and there was a small pause before he began talking again.

"Maria, The note, do you remember it?" He said weakly. For some reason it sounded like he was about to die. I nodded, with thoughts running in my head for what he was talking about, still not letting go of his hands.

"I-I-I wrote it." He sounded like he said it in a shameful way. After a while of me running through my thoughts and him just sitting there, I spoke.

"I'm friends with Angelica as well. Why didn't you come to me?" I asked in confusion. He looked at me with tears in his eyes.

"You don't understand Maria." His voice said deeply and in a stern way. I looked back into his eyes making eye contact with him again, still holding his comforting hands. We were halfway through the flight at this point in time but I wanted to get to the end of this before the plane landed so we would be on good terms for the trip.

"What don't I get Laf? You like Angelica and you could have come to me for help but you didn't so you obviously don't trust me like I trust you." These words came out of my mouth so fast it sounded like I was about to rap a song.

"No Maria, that's not it, I do trust you alot." He said softly. He paused. I looked deeper into his eyes knowing something was going on that I hadn't picked up on for some reason.

"Maria, that letter I wrote that you found" He paused again.

"Yeah?" I whispered. I'm pretty sure the people around us had started listening to our conversation. We were trying to be quiet but I don't think we were being quiet enough.

"It w-was about y-you." Laf blinked as two tears ran down his cheek. I was shocked it definitely didn't go down the path I thought it was going down. 

A/N 

So I wrote in here that Maria's brother is called Lewis and its because hes a half brother so his last name is BuBois. 

So yeah.
