42 - At Last

||Alexander Hamilton||

I woke up one morning with literally everything hurting. I let out a groan and opened my eyes slowly. There was a bright light shining in my face. I adjusted to it and looked around the room. A hospital room. What happened?

Well, whatever happened. It looks like it was a big deal. My right leg had a cast and I had bandages everywhere, excluding an ice pack on my head. It hurt like hell.

I looked to my left to see a lamp with a bunch of letters and a balloon next to it. They must have been from my friends.

I wonder how long I was out for...

I hope not for too long. I don't want to really worry the people I care about.

I picked up the letters on the desk and looked through them. I read the names on all of them. They sounded very familiar and I tried to remember who each of them were.

Hmmm...

Nothing.

I sighed and put the letters down. I lied back down and stared up at the ceiling.

It's so quiet.

I don't like the quiet.

Uggghh, get me out of here.

Suddenly, the door opened. It was a nurse. Her eyes widened when she saw me awake. Then she smiled.

"Alexander! You're awake!"

Alexander?

"How are you feeling?" She asked as she walked up to the bed.

I awkwardly looked around, "Um, painful? Everything hurts. What happened?"

"Don't worry, your memory will soon return to you. But you got hit by a car. They were assumed to be a drunk driver but who knows these days. They nearly hit your boyfriend too but you pushed him out of the way. But you only ended up fracturing a leg plus earning a few scars, thanks to your strong bones. Your condition could have been much worse, you know."

Boyfriend?

"Oh. I see. Um, when do my memories return? Because I literally can't remember anything."

"Depends. But in your state, probably just an hour or so. Maybe reading those letters will bring them back. When your memories return, I'll tell your friends to visit you. Probably best this way because we don't want anyone getting affected over your memory loss." She said.

I smiled, "Okay. I'll do that then. Thank you."

She left then I picked up a letter from the desk. I read through each one and ended up recalling a few memories. Memories such as friends I have, moments with them and so on.

But when I read through the last letter, the one from "John Laurens", I remembered so many amazing things. I remembered him. Everything about him. And my world was suddenly colorful.

Dearest, Alexander

I don't even know where to begin with this. It had been such a struggle dealing with what happened to you, you have no idea. I have spent countless hours thinking about you. Well, that's a lie. I've more-so spending countless hours crying over your fate. But please do not place the blame on yourself. It was stupid for me to let my guard down. It should have been me in your position. I would do anything to go back I'm time to change all this. You are too perfect to deserve any of this. I'm so sorry for what happened. I will never forgive myself for being so stupid. I promise that this will never happen to you again. I will protect you with my life.
