Chapter 3: Aaron Burr

Letting my head drop in shame, the tears streamed out of my eyes. Aaron carefully wrapped his arm around me.

Hercules sat next to me in shocked anger, clenching and unclenched his fists. Laf stared, wide-eyed and horrified.

For a few painful moments, nobody spoke. Then Hercules let out a rough growl. Rising up, he said,

"Look. Alexander, I may have only just met you, but i know for fact that you don't deserve this. Please, don't let them hurt you like this! I couldn't care less what your sexuality is- you could be really into incest for all I care! I refuse to let this continue."

There was a murmur of agreement from the other men and I felt myself heat up. Herc continued, his words making my heart swell.

What on earth had I done anything to deserve these amazing people in my life?

In my village in the Caribbean, people had gained my acquaintance. However, I had never considered anyone a 'friend'.

Yet here I was, face massacred with bruised that no longer hurt, side slashed with cuts that no longer mattered.

Here I was, in an unfamiliar dorm room, surrounded by a crazy French man, a pineapple obsessed Aaron and a hulking mountain of a man (who was currently talking about how fabulous I was).

I leaned further into Aaron, who noticed and pulled me slightly tighter. I drank in his vanilla scent and snuggled into his warmth.

Hercules had finished his speech and was looking at me. Too fatigued to be flustered by his heated gaze, I simply (reluctantly) pulled myself away from Aaron and jerkily stood up. My side screamed in protest and I winced, but carried on.

Hercules shut his eyes, his adrenaline draining out in the thick silence. I stepped away from the bed, towards him.

As I reached up and slowly wrapped my arms around his neck, I felt him tense. He was so tall that I had to go up onto tip toes to reach him. He carefully hugged me back and I nuzzled into his neck.

"I've never had a group of friends before. I promise that I'll make you all proud." I whispered into his shirt.

He chuckled lightly and pulled me tighter. I felt him smile against my hair. There was a sharp cough and I turned around, startled. I came nose to nose with a pissed Lafayette. Aaron giggled behind him. Laf glared at me.

"Back off bitch, he's mine." I stared, shocked. Suddenly the French man cracked a grin. Aaron and Herc fell about laughing and I chuckled, aware of my injuries.

However, when Laf tipped back his head and bellowed out a laugh, I couldn't control it and I laughed uncontrollably.

It hurt like a bitch, but hey. I had friends.

And, far as I could tell, the best friends I could wish for. The only ones who cared enough to fuss over some loser who had been trampled, left pathetically in a school hallway.

The only ones who now, as I was lost in thought, we're trying to decide whether 'Mean Girls' was too gay to watch, or if 'deadpool' was too straight.

After we finished watching Mean Girls, I stood up carefully and yawned. I heard Aaron shush me and turned to see him jerking his thumb towards the couch.

There lay Lafayette, curls chaotically thrown around his head. He was curled up, snoring very quietly. Cute!

However, what was most adorable was the fact that he was encased in Hercs arms. Hercules had his chin resting in Lafs curls, hugging the French man tightly to his chest.

Aaron was silently fangirling, mouthing repeatedly 'OMG SO CUTE!!' I smirked in response. He suddenly stopped freaking out, and started to grin devilishly.

He casually pulled his phone out of his pocket, going to the camera app. Eyes wide in shock, I watched as he took a picture of the two men. He grinned triumphantly and turned the phone to face me.

I'm going to be honest right now. It was the cutest couple picture I had ever seen! I grinned up at him, watching him smirk cheekily.

With that, he sent it to both the men. And most of his other phone chats.
