Running Into Hamilton

Away- part 22

I wish none of this happened. I'm such a nuisance to the cast. I just cause them trouble. I can't do it right now, but i need to leave.

Maddie went to her room and jazzy and I got to talking. I finished telling her what happened, and I was still outraged. I was trying not to show it, but i could tell Jazzy saw it. We were keeping quiet, so Maddie wouldn't hear. After a while, Jazz went to bed. I watched tv for a little longer, then turned it off. I slowly opened Maddies door and kissed her forehead. I snuck back across the apartment and into mine and Jazzys room, and got in the bed. I kissed Jazz goodnight and tried to fall asleep, but I couldn't get Maddie off my mind.

I set my alarm for earlier in the morning than usual. I really wanted her to wake up to something nice. I made her chocolate chip pancakes and bacon. Just before I was done, Maddie and Jazzy both came into the kitchen. Jazzy came over and gave me a hug and kiss, whispering "You're a really good dad, ant. Love you." She said. "Love you too." I replied, putting the last of breakfast onto into a plate. It was about 6 now, so we had plenty of time.

"Thank you dad! It's really good!" Maddie said after eating a bite. She ate 2 pancakes and 3 pieces of bacon. At 6:20 she got up to get ready for school. I could hear her Broadway playlist blasting through her room. She came out at 6:50 ready to go, and sat on the couch for 5 minutes before leaving for school.

*Maddie pov*

I wake up to the scent of pancakes and bacon wafting through our apartment. I got up and saw Jazz coming out of her room at the exact same time. We both walk into the kitchen. Jazzy goes up to Anthony, and I go to the fridge to get orange juice. I eat and run to my room to get ready. I leave the apartment at the same time as every day, 6:55.

I walk through the school and meet Cara, Riley and Julia at my locker. I throw my stuff in and pull out my binder and books, then spray some perfume on me. Riley and i walk to homeroom. I hadn't said anything but hi to the group. Then I realized I hadn't told Riley what happened last night, and i didn't plan on telling him, at least not today. I was gonna run today. I'll ask Anthony and Jazzy if I can stay at the apartment when they go to the show. I'll write a little letter to my family, then i can go.

"You ok Maddie? Did something happen? I swear if someone hurt you." He says, pulling me out of my own head. "Oh, ya, I'm fine. I woke up super early, just tired." I respond, putting my head on my hand. I write the note in my head. "Anthony, Jazz, I'm sorry. I love you forever, but I can't stay; I'm a burden, a nuisance. I don't want you to have to deal with me anymore. To the rest of the cast, I love you guys. I'll miss you all so much. I'll always have my Hamilton sheet music and shirts. Daveed, I'm sorry oaklander. Lin, I'm sorry. Groff, im sorry. Everyone, I'm sorry. Maybe I'll see you again. If I do, I'll take it as a sign, a sign to stay this time. I'll love you all for the rest of my life, but I'm so much trouble. Kisses. Maddie."

I somehow lasted through the entire day, and got into Anthony's car. "Can i stay home tonight? I don't feel like being quiet." I asked Anthony, who agreed, as long as I didn't throw some wild party. That wouldn't happen. When we got home, I gave Anthony and Jazzy an extra tight hug and a kiss each before they left, then wrote the letter, then realized something. I left my friends out.

"Riley, I'll always love you, but you need a new aurora. I'm not fit to be a princess. Cara, Julia, sara, I'm sorry. I'll miss you, don't think any of you did this but I love you. Bye."

That letter killed me. But i had to write it. I threw 6 shirts, 6 shorts and 3 pants into my bag, ditching most of my school stuff. I left, putting the key on the counter. I don't know where I'm going, but i have to go away. I ran at least 3 miles in about an hour, then realized Anthony and Jazzy would read my letter soon. I cried and kept running. I can't stop.

*Anthony pov*

I unlocked the door, still laughing from a joke Jazz told me. I look over and see Maddies key on the counter. Weird. She always has it on her keychain. I call for her, but hear no response. I start to panic. Jazzy grabs my arm and leads me to the kitchen table. There's a piece of purple notebook paper folded, labeled to: everyone. Clearly in Maddies handwriting. I open it and read it over, noticing tear stains on the edges.

I choke up as i try to talk to Jazzy. Once I can, I pick up my phone and call the entire cast. Within 20 minutes, everyone in the lead cast was there, cause I don't think theres enough room for the entire cast here. We decide to split up and drive around the city to try and find her. Jazzy and I go to her favorite places. The mall, the bookstore, Rileys house, all the girls. We don't tell them what happened, figuring we dot want them stressing out, especially at school.

We keep driving, but we can't find her. We decide to just go home, and we can't file a missing persons report for 24 hours. Neither jazzy or I can sleep, so we just watch tv. I cried when I looked at the letter again. I love her so much, I wish I could've helped her, made her feel better, made her stay.
