Alexander rushed around.

The word had gotten out- his career was done. 'Why would i publish the letters?' He questioned himself.

He ran into his work, Jefferson snickered.

Jefferson walked towards him, and proceeded to whisper into his ear.

"Your never going to be president now.."

He shuttered, as Jefferson smiled his evil smirk.

Jefferson walked back to Madison, smiling with him. 

Alexander ran back to his home, hoping to avoid his wife, and ran into his office, surprisingly., Angelica was there.

"Angelica!"

"Alexander..." She said, taking a breath.

"Congratulations

You have invented a new kind of stupid

A 'damage you can never undo' kind of stupid

An 'open all the cages in the zoo' kind of stupid

'Truly, you didn't think this through?' kind of stupid

Let's review

You took a rumor a few maybe two people knew and refuted it by sharing an affair of which no one has accused you

I begged you to take a break, you refused to

So scared of what your enemies will do to you

You're the only enemy you ever seem to lose to

You know why Jefferson can do what he wants?

He doesn't dignify school-yard taunts with a response!

So yeah, congratulations!" She sang, pacing around him, he shuttered. "Angelica..."

"You've redefined your legacy

Congratulations" She continued singing, ignoring him.

"It was an act of political sacrifice!" He yelled, Angelica backed away, her angry expression turned to pure sadness.

"Sacrifice?

I languished in a loveless marriage in London

I lived only to read your letters

I look at you and think 'God, what have we done with our lives and what did it get us?'

That doesn't wipe the tears or the years away

But I'm back in the city and I'm here to stay

And you know what I'm here to do?" Angelica felt her warm tears fall down her face, "Angelica"

Alexander tried reaching for her, but Angelica backed away once again.

"'m not here for you

I know my sister like I know my own mind

You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind

And a million years ago she said to me 'this one's mine'

So I stood by

Do you know why?

I love my sister more than anything in this life

I will choose her happiness over mine everytime

Eliza" She yelled, but sang beautifully.

"Eliza..." Alexander murmured, he had been ignoring the one he loved.

"Is the best thing in our lives

So never lose sight of the fact that you have been blessed with the best wife

Congratulations

For the rest of your life

Every sacrifice you make is for my sister

Give her the best life

Congratulations!"

And then Angelica was gone, she slammed the door, only saying hello to Phillip. 





Alexander decided to sleep in his office instead, considering Eliza was too mad at him- probably furious, he sighed, falling asleep.


He knew his career was over.
