What If Hamilton[On Hold]

Chapter 3

We are about to cross! We get in a boat with other soldiers. I'm near the the edge of the boat. It is a hard crossing. There is ice in the river. We hit a piece of ice and I almost fall out. Washington catches me. I hit my side hard on the side. It hurts badly.
"Are you alright?" he asks.
I nod, "My side is just a bit sore."
He still looks worried but nodded. We stayed quiet after that. When we got to the other side Washington goes right to General Mercer.
     "Hugh, my aide hit his side. Will you look at it?"
     "Sir I'm fine. Really. You fuss too much"
      "Someone needs to. If your family doesn't care about you so I'll take the job for them," Washington said touching my face affectionately. His eyes widen. "Alexander Hamilton you told me your fever had left! Why didn't you tell me?"
       "Because sir I knew you wouldn't let me come with the attack. I'm sorry."
   Washington shakes his head, "You're just like me when I was your age. Wasn't I Hugh? You need to be careful. I don't want to lose you."
When the rest of the army got to the Jersey side of the river we head to Trenton. The ride pains my shoulder by I don't say anything.
       "Alex make sure General Sullivan goes on this road."
        "Yes sir", I say stopping my horse.
     When I see see General Sullivan and Corneal Glover come I point to the road," The River Road." They nod and change the way their horses are moving. I ride back to Washington. He looks over at me, "How's your shoulder?"
I sigh, "Painful." I leave it at that. He seems to understand. We ride in silence for a while. "Alex." I look up,"Yes sir?"  
"Its 7:30. Go find Sullivan and tell him we attack at 8."
"Yes sir." With that I speed off. I quickly tell my news and get back to Washington. He smiles when he sees me. "You ready for this?" I nod. Then all hell broke lose.
