Part two:

Alexander's POV

I hear the door slam and I groan. "JEFFERSON... COME BACK!" He didn't come back.

It's been months. Since I truly spoke to Jefferson, it was fine. I was fine, I mean, I should have thanked him but- still. "Dad! If you had heard what he said you wouldn't have let him get away with it! I wasn't about to!" I hear my son yell. I turn around, "Slow down! What are you talking about?" "This is my first duel, they don't exactly teach this in boarding school," he claimed. I gulp, "Did you try to find a peace?" He nods, "He refused to apologize, the peace talk had to cease." I nod back. "Take my guns and when the time comes shoot your gun in the air." He shakes his head, "I'll get shot!" "No, if he's truly a man of honor he'll follow." Philip nods. I hand them to him and let him go after a hug. I sit at my desk and keep scribbling on the paper.

I tear up as I rub Eliza's back. I bite my lip and bring her to our room. I tuck her in and kiss her gently. I start to walk away and I hear her broken voice behind me, "Alexander? Where are you going?" "I need a walk, love..." I respond quietly. "Goodbye," Eliza says to me as I walk out the door. I make my way out of the house and just... walk. I walk till I can't anymore.

I look up and see where I am. I hiss and knock on the door, looking down. I hear the door open slowly. "Alexander?" "C-Can I come in...Please," my lip quivers. "Oh uh, yeah, come sit down?" I walk past him and sit on the couch, looking at my knees. He sits next to me and puts one hand on my back, seeing I'm upset. "I-Is Jefferson here, Madison?" He stays silent for a moment before mumbling, "He is, but he's working." I look up to him, "Can you show me to his room? I'd like to speak with him." I'm trying so hard to hold back my tears.

He guides me to the room and I waddle along, my feet hurt due to how far I walked. He knocks on the door and peeks his head in, "Hello?" I hear Thomas, "What do you want, Jemmy? I'm working and don't like to be disturbed, you know that." He sighs, "I do... but you have a guest." I hear a questioning hum, "Well, okay. Hamilton, you can come in Darling~" I gulp and do so, "How did you uh- know?" He smirks, "I know everything, Hamilton." I shift my weight uncomfortably just before Madison shuts the door. Jefferson's face turns to that of a worried one instead of cocky. He makes his way over to me and puts one hand onto my shoulder gently, "Alex, are you okay?"

My lip quivers more as I open my mouth to speak but only a squeak comes out. My throat burns from holding back tears and my eye lids feel heavy. I just simply shake my head as tears streak down my face. He looks down at me, eyes wide. "Ah- Uhm ...Eh," he stutters, obviously having zero clue what to say. I look up, our eyes staring into each other and I just... Break. I start sobbing and gripping onto his shirt for support, "No! I-I'm not okay! My son he's- he's--" I can't finish and he nods, still not knowing why exactly I'm acting this way. He brings me into a hug. I snuggle into his chest and sob. I sob for- well hours- it seems like. He just comforts me. He makes me feel safe, like I've never felt before. I don't know what this is but... I don't want it to end.
