Alex's POV:
John ended up leaving about an hour before the boys came home, thankfully Jeffershit free. Apparently they were out of Mac 'n' Cheese so he went to the store. I mean I'm not complaining. He would probably make Alex do work. Ew. It's not like he would be able to concentrate, the kiss still fresh in his mind and on my lips. Holy shit...
"Hey Alex? You have that daydreamy 'helpless in love' look...who is it?"
"Yeah..., no. I don't have to tell you anything." He gets up and starts making his way out trying to end the conversation but Burr just pulls him back onto the couch by the arm. Whatever, not like they'll believe me anyway, why not? "Fine. It's John Laurens...the Prince." Wait for the 'liar', 'you're insane', oh and the personal favorite: 'if you say so'. I know it's coming. Wait for it, wait for it, wait-
"I FUCKING KNEW IT! YOU OWE ME TEN BUCKS! WHOOP WHOOP!......ah-em....
.
.
.
I freaking called it!" Was not expecting that...nonetheless from James.
"Fine." Burr reluctantly fishes out a 'Lin' dollar bill and forks it over. Why did he...? Oh, it was a bet. But on what? "He bet that you were the mysterious man that showed up to the ball...well, technically, he bet Jefferson would lose his shit if you went to the ball. YOU. COST. ME. A. LIN. TO. JAMES. DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE?!" Uh, oh spaghettios. And Alex retreats to his 'room'.
They're gonna question me, Jefferson's gonna find out, he'll punish me, and I'll die! He has a legitimate reason to be terrified. Jefferson is a truly evil being. Beatings, okay. Being called names, sure. But NO. That little turd confiscates all writing and reading material. He's the actual devil. I mean who else could be so evil?
Alex flops face down on his bed. "UGGGGHHH...kill me now pls. I can't go on! I won't live without my-"
"Stop. Just stop. I'm Washingdone with your shit." Even when he's dead he still lectures me. Wait-he is dead. So then why do I hear him? Is this a dream or did I finally loose my mind? He lifts his head up to contemplate more but is interrupted by George? Yep. Definitely lost my mind. "No, you're not crazy. I'm able to visit my living loved ones and they will be able to see and talk to me too."
Alex quirks a brow, "-and you haven't done this before, like when I was heart broken by your death, because...?"
"I wasn't able to then. If I was, I would've."
"So what are you? My guardian angel?"
"Uh...no. What about a Fairy Father...ya know...without the 'god' part since I'm your actual father?"
Adoptive father and besides "that role is already taken".
"BY WHO?!"
"Uh...I think his name was...Muffinman or something? Do you know him?"
"Muffinman?"
"Yeah, Muffinman."
"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......no."
