Hamilton

Chapter 10

"Alright alright! That's what I'm talking about!", Jona yelled smiling, "Now! Give it up for the best man, Andrew Schuyler!"

Andrew stood up "A toast to the groom! To the bride! From your brother who is always by your side! To your union! To the revolution!  And the hope you provide! May you always, be satisfied!"

~Rewind, rewind, rewind (I remember that night I just might regret that night..)~

Andrew looked around, noticing he was walking around in his own memories. "I remember those soldier boys trippin' over themselves to win our praise. I remember that dream light candlelight like a dream that you can quite place, but Alexandra I'll never forget the first time I saw you face"

Alexandra walked in with her friends and looked around. 

"I have never been the same. Intelligent eyes in a hunger pang frame. And when you said 'Hi!' I forgot my dang name! Set my heart aflame, every part aflame! This is not a game!"

Alexandra looked around Andrew. "You strike me, as a man who has never been satisfied", Alexandra examined Andrew.

"I'm sure I don't know what you mean, you forget yourself", Andrew said, almost brushing off Alexandra. 

"Your like me. I'm never satisfied."

"Is that right?"

"I have never been satisfied", Alexandra said smiling. 

"My name is Andrew Schuyler", Andrew bowed. 

"Alexandra Hamilton", Alexandra curtseyed.

"Wheres your family from?"

"Unimportant, there's a million things I haven't done but just you wait", Alexandra managed to say and got called by Jona and Georgia. "Just you wait..", Alexandra walked. 

"So so so! So this is what it feels like to match wits with someone at your level! What the hell is the catch? It's the feeling of freedom, of seein' the light, it's Beatrice Franklin with a key and a kite! You see it, right? The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes, everything we said in total agreement! It's a dream and it's a bit of a dance, a bit of a posture, it's a bit of a stance. She's a bit of a flirt, but I'm 'a give it a chance. I asked about her fam'ly, did you see her answer?! Her hands started fidgeting, she looked askance?  She's penniless, she's flying by the seat of his pants. Handsome, girl, 'does she know it!  I wanna take her far away from this place, then I turn and see my brother's face and he is...", Andrew said in his mind and turned t see Elijah

"Helpless!", Elijah ran over to his brother with big eyes and a helpless smile. 

"And I know he is", Andrew said looking at his brother.

"Helpless!", Elijah repeated.

"And his eyes are just!", Andrew yelled in his mind. 

"Helpless!", It seemed like Elijah kept repeating it. 

"And I realized three fundamental truths at the exact same time!", Andrew thought while walking over to Alexandra. 

Andrew talked a little to Alexandra and started walking her to Elijah. 

"Where are you taking me?", Alexandra asked and looked at Andrew who was linked to her arm. 

"I'm about to change your life", Andrew said, almost wishing she was Elijah. 

"Then by all means lead the way."

Everything stopped in time. "I'm a man in a world in which my only job is to marry rich. My mother has no daughter so I'm the one who has to social climb for one, so I'm the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in New York City is insidious, and Alexandra is penniless, Ha! That doesn't mean I want her any less..", time started again and the next thing Andrew knew, Alexandra was being introduced to Elijah. 

"Elijah Schuyler, It's a pleasure to meet you.", Elijah said bowing.

"Schuyler?", Alexandra wondered and looked at Andrew. 

"My brother!", Andrew said and time froze again. "She's after me cuz I'm a Schuyler brother. That elevates her status, I'd have to be naïve to set that aside, maybe that is why I introduce him to Elijah, now that's her groom. Nice going, Andrew, she was right, You will never be satisfied.", Time unfroze. 

"Thank you for all your service.", Elijah bowed again, over bowing and took Alexandra's hand and kissed it. 

"If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it well has been worth it.", Alexandra blushed. 

"I'll leave you to it!", Andrew said, over smiling fakely. 

Alexandra and Elijah walked away and danced together and Andrew stood there as time froze when he realized the third fundamental truth. "I know my brother like I know my own mind, you will never find anyone as trusting or as kind. If I tell him that I love her he'd be silently resigned, she'd be mine. he would say, 'I'm fine' and he'd be lying."

~A little time skip still in Andrew's flashback~

Andrew watched Mar and Elijah put away the letters from Alexandra in a box. Andrew walked into his room and wiped away tears. "When I fantasize at night it's Alexandra's eyes, as I romanticize what might have been if I hadn't sized her up so quickly. At least my dear Elijah's her husband; at least I keep her eyes in my life...", Andrew closed his door and slip down it, still crying softly. 

~Back to normal time!~

"To the groom! To the bride! From your brother who is always by your side!", Andrew exclaimed, starting to get rid of his sadness by yelling. "To your Union! To the revolution! And the hope that you provide! May you always, be satisfied.", Andrew said giving a shy smile after yelling. 

After the wedding, Andrew walked back into the room where he had given his intense speech. "And I know. He'll be happy as her husband. And I know...she will never be satisfied. I will never be satisfied.", the moment struck and Andrew fell to his knees crying, wishing he could have been in Elijah's place.
