pov. Aaron Burr
I couldn't handle it I could handle the occasional little flirting between Thomas and James But this. I watched as Thomas Kissed James on his cheek and James Kissed back. I let out a small growl of utter anger. I never got angry at anyone. It was almost impossible but one whole week of these two and I already couldn't take it. I would get rid of James this time and This time he wouldn't come back. I'd make sure of it. I felt a hand on my shoulder causing me to flinch. I turned around to see Charlie.
"Hey it's okay" He said noticing me staring at Thomas and James.
"I just don't understand how he loves James so much He doesn't even notice the person who's loved him for years standing right here in front of him" I said back. I noticed Charlie made an odd face before replying.
"Well I guess that's just how it works" and then he left. Had I done something wrong. He seemed upset with me almost all week... I would check on him later. I also noticed That Thomas had been avoiding me. I mentally face palmed, why had I sent that text just because I was upset.Now he was James and they were together... and I was alone. I wished I could cuddle with Charlie again. That feeling of holding him in my arms was indescribable but I longed for it. I stood there by my locker, I had lost Thomas to James and he probably wasn't coming back. I sighed thinking of the life I may never have. I was fine with James being in the picture of when Thomas and I were in love but now he had to go. I looked back now thinking of all the memories with me and Thomas and in every place I checked James was the problem. If he wanted Thomas He would have to fight me in a pool of his own blood. I heard the bell ring and silently cursed to myself before grabbing my book and quickly going to class.

I sat in English class bored as the teacher rambled on about symbolism in stories. When I first found out that Thomas and James were together it was the greatest feeling. Maybe Aaron would finally give up and love me instead. I was wrong, Aaron just got more jealous and kept pushing me further and further away. After a few more boring classes it was lunch. I sat next to Aaron who was staring at James like he wanted to burn him.
"Hey Ronnie" I said sitting next to him. He removed his gaze from James to look over at me. I placed one arm around his waist and he blushed.
"Hey Charlie" He said back leaning a little closer.
"Maybe, you should try and find someone else" I said pulling him closer and praying he would get the hint.
"No, maybe Madison should just find someone else" He grumbled. I sighed in frustration. I was about to tell him something to calm him down when James leaned over and kissed Thomas's cheek. Thomas's face turned bright red before he kissed James back.
"I swear I'm going to murder that boyfriend stealing piece of shit" he whispered angrily. I paused for a minute. He would actually hurt James wouldn't he. I remembered when he was happy with Theodosia. Even though it hurt seeing him with someone else I liked Theodosia and knew he cared about her. Then John Adams had to bully her to the point of suicide. The next morning I caught Burr crying while yelling at Adams with a knife at the man's throat. I had to physically stop Burr from killing him. after that he became love sick. he clung to Thomas getting almost an obsession with him. While Thomas on the other hand had now formed what seemed to be a healthy, loving, trusting, caring, sweet relationship with James. Almost like the one Burr Had with Theodosia.
"You won't actually hurt James right?" I asked. His glare turned to a mischievous smirk and I paused nervously.
"he won't suffer too much" He seemed to whisper almost to himself. I felt my heart drop. what the fuck was he about to do.
"Aaron..." I said trailing off. He glanced back at me his expression softening.
"sorry I just" he said not finishing. I pulled him a little closer and with a shaky sigh he rested his head on my shoulder. he pulled himself a little closer before putting his face into my neck with a heavy sigh. I blushed and leaned my head on his. Why the fuck are you like this.the voice hissed in my head. I tried to drown it out but I couldn't. it kept whispering tiny things into my head making me feel like I was about to cry. I took a deep breath and pushed everything far down.

I glanced over at Aaron and Charles. Aaron, who seemed upset at me and Thomas for almost the entire week had his face pressed into Charles' neck. Charles on the other hand had an odd expression on his face. Maybe I should talk to Aaron, he was usually so nice. I got up and walked over to their table. I noticed Charles eyes widened and he shook his head at me. I paused and he flicked one hand away from their table. I backed away and he gave me a small smile. He rested his head back on Aaron's and his usual glare turned into a small smile. They were so cute together. I sat back down next to Thomas and he quickly wrapped his arms around me.
"Jemmy" he said making me feel like my heart was melting. I leaned into his side and he kissed my forehead. I smiled and kissed him back on his cheek. He let out a content sigh and I grinned. I glanced back over at Aaron and Charles only to see an upset looking Charles, and Aaron glaring holes into me. I turned around nervously.
"Hey, is everything okay" Thomas asked sweetly.
"oh it's nothing" I replied. He gently took my hand in his for the rest of lunch and held me close to him. At the end of lunch he gently kissed my cheek.
"I love you" he said happily.
"I love you too" I said back hugging him tightly. the rest of the day was a sweet and exhausting blur. whenever I was alone in the halls I would catch Aaron glaring at me. I was grabbing my bag when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see Aaron.
"hey so I noticed you've been going home with Thomas a lot did something happen" he asked. I paused mentally panicking. did somebody say or see something.
"yeah I've just been staying at his place, it's personal" I said quickly. He smirked before looking back at me.
"oh I was just wondering" he replied before leaving. That was odd... what ever. I met Thomas outside of the school and he took me to his house.
