AND LEGGY

Wait Whattttt

Lafayette POV
"wait what?" I questioned Maria sitting up.
"You know a couple. Holding hands, having epic make out sessions, going on dates, making people think "aww look how cute they are such goals" you know the things couples do." She said sarcastically scoffing and rolling her eyes as she grabbed her phone.
"Yeah I know what couple does." I replied.
"So?"
I hop out of the bed look down and thought to myself.
"Oh no,what have I done? How, why didn't I say no to this? What will Peggy think? She is my one and only, the love of my life. What do I do? Alex dated her for a while and said she was very abusive, verbally and physically, and cheated on Alex a lot. What do I tell her?"
"Look Maria, you are a beautiful girl, but this cannot happen. Any promises I made to you last night I'm breaking them. This was a one time thing and will never happen again." I say back while getting my clothes on.
She rolled her eyes at me.
"Look I gotta go." I said to her.
"Ugh what will Peggy think?" I said under my breath as I got my shirt on.
"Did you say something about Peggy?" She questioned. "Look I don't know if this will change your mind but you might wanna see this."
Maria was showing me her phone.
*Facebook status update: Pegleg in a relationship*
I grabbed the phone from her and looked at the update again. My heart shattered into pieces. I tried to hold my tears back but they just kept coming down. I handed Maria her phone back.
"I have to go." I heard my voice crack.
I ran out of her dorm, I didn't even put my shoes on. The tears kept coming down, they wouldn't stop. I couldn't breath. I felt like I had a huge lump in my throat and I just wanted to scream. I couldn't think right, or see straight. I ended up running into someone.
"Hey buddy are you alright?" He questioned.
I knew Burr could see my eyes were red, my eyes filled with tears. I was and emotional wreck.
"What do you think mon ami?" I shouted at him.
"Woah Laff, take deep breathes. Here come with me." He suggested.
I didn't have anywhere else to go so I followed him. He put his arm around me and said it would be alright. He lead me back to his dorm that he shared with Theodosia. He made me a cup of tea and we finally started to talk.
"So tell me Laff, what's been going on?"
I didn't really want to talk so I just kept sipping my tea and wiping the tears away. I felt a little rude so I finally broke the silence and told him my problem. Burr is very good with helping people, especially his friends. I was kinda glad to have someone to talk to.
"Oh" he replied back. I could tell he had pity for me. "So you had a heartbreak, it's alright. Your time will come. If not today or with Peggy, then it will come some other time with someone else. I know a bunch of girls who would want to date King's College's favorite handsome Frenchman!" He said with a smile.
I smiled, Burr was such a good friend."But mon ami, Peggy is my meant to be. I know I'm supposed to be with her!" I pouted.
Burr gave me more tea and said "your time will come." We clicked glasses and drank our warm chamomile tea.
It was good to have someone to talk to. I headed back to my dorm dragging my feet and keeping my head down. I felt a little better after talking to Burr I stopped crying, but I was still sad. I thought about the night and how it went. What came over me? Why would I do this to myself? Peggy probably thinks I'm a huge dick for leaving her alone. I hope she's alright. I made it to my dorm. The door creaked open as I put my key in. Alex, John and Hercules were all in the living room. Hercules was on his phone, John was pacing back and forth and Alex was trying to comfort him.
"Bonjour y'all" I said quietly as I entered.
"LAFAYETTE!" They all screamed "YOU'RE BACK!"
"Yeah, I live here." I chuckled.
"Where were you?" Hercules questioned.
I looked down "that's a long story, I'll share later."
They all looked at each other and just shrugged.
"Well Hercules has some big news!" John shouted pushing Hercules.
"Yeah he does, please share with us Herc." Alex said raising his eyebrows up and down.
"Yeah Hercules tell me! That might get my mind off of all the shit that has happened to be yesterday and today."
"Well I got a girlfriend!" He said happily.
"Oh my Hercules, reliable with the ladies" I joked.
"Yeah,yeah,yeah I guess." He blushed.
"So who is the lucky lady mon ami?" I questioned.
"Peg-"
I didn't even need him to finish the sentence. My heart shattered. My best friend dated the love of my life?
"Little Hercules, getting a Schuyler Sister!" Alex joked.
My mouth was open. I could feel the tears start to come down.
"I have to go."
I ran into my room and locked the door and leaned against it. I just needed to let everything go. How could he do this to me? I thought he knew I liked Peggy. I assumed Alex or maybe John told him. Or he may have known from me being so nervous around her. I heard a knocking on my door.
"Hey Laff, are you alright?" John asked.
I did not answer I just sat on the ground leaned up against the door. I grabbed my blanket and wrapped myself in it and just cried. I wanted all of this to go away. I wish it was all a dream, and when I wake up Peggy would be sitting next to me holding my arm and we would be happy. Nope. I am awake and I'm sitting on my dirty room floor, wrapped in a blanket with my roommates banging on the door. I eventually fall asleep right on the floor still wrapped in a blanket. I hope that when I wake up from this nightmare everything will be alright.
