Hamilton OneShots

"Happier" by Ed Sheeran

My inspiration for this came from a comment on one of my previous stories "I Love You ~ Laurette", @Ham4Lams said they were listening to "Happier" by Ed Sheeran while reading. It made me think of this story idea. So Ham4Lams, your comment was the inspiration for this OneShot! (Art at the top doesn't belong to me. I found it on google.)

Thomas Jefferson's POV

I had fucked everything up. It was a mistake too... I never meant to kiss Hamilton. He kissed me. But all James saw was me cheating on him, so he broke up with me. I cried for so long. James Madison meant the world to me, and he was gone now. I hated Hamilton so much for ruining my life, but he was happy with what he did. Had no regrets. So now, all I could do, was walk around... and try to forget.

But we never forget the ones we truly love.

Walking down 29th and Park. I saw you in another's arm.

One day, I was walking, calmly, just trying to clear my head. When I saw it, I saw him. He had already moved on. I stood from afar and watched as John Laurens wrap his arm around James. My James... but he wasn't anymore.

Only a month we've been apart. You look happier.

It feels like it was just yesterday, he screamed at me and told me to get out. To leave and never talk to him again.

Saw you walk inside a bar, he said something to make you laugh.

On another day, I walked by our favorite bar. But I saw him there with John Laurens. John was talking and James was blushing and giggling. Something he only ever did with me...

I saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as .ours. Yeah, you look happier, you do.

He never smiled that way with me. But when he smiled, damn. Time seemed to stop, I could look at it forever. But now, time only slowed as I watched him kiss John Laurens. It didn't take long for the tears to fall.

Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you. Ain't nobody love you like I do.

God, I love him so much. I would've given the world to him. I gave myself to him, though now he seems to have forgotten me.

Promise that I will not take it personal. If you're movin' on with someone new.

Why did I feel like it was my fault? I tried to explain it to him. For an hour, I was begging at his feet, crying. He was crying as well, before he told me to get out. But he was with someone now. By the looks of it, someone better...

'Cause baby you look happier, you do. My friends told me one day I'll feel it too. And until then I'll smile and hide the truth.

Aaron tried so hard to help me move on. But I just couldn't.

But I know I was happier with you.

I sat in my room, there were things that reminded me of James everywhere I looked. I could associate anything with a memory of him.

Sat in the corner of the room. Everything's reminding me of you.

I wouldn't stop drinking. What did I have left to lose? James was everything, but he looked happier with John...

Nursing an empty bottle and tellin' myself you're happier, aren't you?

Why? Why was he still on my mind? Why couldn't I get over it? There were so many other people. But I only wanted one. I wanted James Madison.

Oh, ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you. Ain't nobody need you like I do.

I just wanted him back. I wanted to hear his soft innocent voice as he curled up on my lap and fell asleep. But those were just memories now. Because John had him now.

I know that there's others that deserve you. But my darling I am still in love with you.

James Madison. James Madison, the name never left my mind. I felt like when he left, he took a part of me with him. He took the part that was able to love. I reserved myself for him. But no, Hamilton had to go and get fucking drunk and kiss me in front of James.

But I guess you look happier, you do. My friends told me one day I'll feel it too. I could try to smile and hide the truth. But I know I was happier with you.

On one of my walks, I bumped into them. I asked James if I could just say one thing to him. He said fine. One thing. With tears in my eyes, John walked away a bit, knowing I wanted this to be personal.

"James,"

"Hurry up Jefferson."

I took a breath. There was only one thing I needed to say to him.

"'Cause baby you look happier, you do. I knew one day you'd fall for someone new."

He looked at John.

"But if he breaks your heart like lovers do..."

He looked back at me.

"Just know that I'll be waiting here, for you."
