Madison's P.O.V

I watch through the corner of my eye as Thomas paces back and forth across our dorm.

"Babe, what are you doing?"

"Shhhhhhh... I'm thinking."

"Can I know what about?"

"No... Not yet." What? Why can't I know? Is it bad? Should I be worried? It's not like he hasn't done bad things to me before. But then again, it could be something good. I do always think worst case scenario. I sneeze. Blasted cold.

"Maddy, are you ok? You've been sneezing an awful lot! Are you sure you don't want me to stay back from class with you and- and look after you?" Jefferson questions, sounding very distressed.

"Tom, I'm fine, you sound worried."

"Of course I'm worried! Y-your sick! We should stay home and not go to class." Ok, something is definitely wrong.

"Thomas, is there a reason you don't want to go to class?"

"What? No... I-I could go to class... But I'm feeling sick, so we should stay home!" He says, fake coughing profusely. Something is fishy here...

Burr's P.O.V

I wake up and find messages from an unknown number on my phone.

???: Burr, I need help, now.
???: You're the only person I trust who is available right now
???: Please Burr!
BurrSir: I apologize but whoever this is, I don't have your number in my phone.
???: Oh, shit sorry. It Theodosia
BurrSir: Oh hello! How did you get my number?
Theo: One of your friends gave it to me. Anyway, no time! Be at my dorm ASAP!
BurrSir: Be there soon.

Why would she be freaking out so much? What could have possibly happened? I practically run down 2 flights of stairs on knock on her dorm room door. The door swings open to reveal a flustered Theodosia.

"Good, your here. Come in."

"Hey what's wr-"

"My ex is here."

"What?"

"My ex boyfriend goes to this school, and let's just say that there's a good reason we broke up."

"And that reason is..?" She slowly lifted the bottom of her shirt to reveal a scar stretching from her hip to just above her belly button. I stare in horror as I immediately know the one responsible for that scar.

"Let me guess... Jefferson." I say through gritted teeth. She nods her head and tears start falling down her cheeks.

"Your lucky he didn't get you pregnant..."

"He got a girl pregnant?"

"And then left her to deal with the child alone? Yeah..." More tears fall from her eyes. I pull her close to my chest, letting her tears stain my shirt. She lifts head and looks at me.

"Thank you" she said

"For being there." And with that, she kissed me.

Maria's P.O.V

I'm sitting on the couch with the sisters watching The Fault In Our Stars on their huge TV, the tears neverending. To my left, Peggy has her head on my shoulder as she cries whilst shoveling popcorn in her mouth. Personally, I don't mind the amount of tears and popcorn destroying my favourite jacket, because Peggy seems ok with it. Well, that might just be because she's too busy being a blubbering mess because Gus just died to really care about anything else... Yeah that's probably it. Angelica seems to be giving me strange looks and I'm not sure why... Is it because of Pegs? It's not like anything's going on between us. That doesn't mean I wouldn't want anything going on... Oh, shut up Maria, your talking shit. Peggy is just a friend.
