Aaron Burr, Sir

10. He Finds Forgiveness

10. He finds forgiveness.

In the eye of a hurricane there is quiet. Aaron learned that early in his life.

From the quietness that followed his parents death, to the quiet of his children dying, he was sick of the quiet.

As he laid on his deathbed, he caught a glimpse of the other side. Theodosia is on the other side, she's holding his daughter on the other side. His son, his parents are on the other side.

Alexander is on the other side.

Teach him how to say goodbye.

In the eye of the hurricane, there is quiet. And Aaron is ready to move on.

But for now, he is willing to wait for the moment to come.

It's only a matter of time.

And the time does come. And he smiles as his eyes become glassy. He smiles as he rises to embrace those he lost. He smiles as he cries, holding tightly those who left him, those whom he loved, and those who he hurt. Aaron Burr just smiles, and never utters a single word.

Because sometimes it's better to talk less, and smile more.

Are you crying?

I want to clarify a few things about the story. First of all, there are many historical errors in the story. I mainly took some facts and then molded them into this fictional piece. There are many things that are true, such as how Aaron adopted two boys. However, I made up many things (there are no records of Aaron seeing Angelica or Eliza after Alexander's death.) Also, in this one shot Aaron is very regretful of what he did. In real life though, Aaron didn't express guilt until much later in his life.

Thank you for reading!! Comments and Kudos are greatly appreciated! :)
