Hamilton College AU (ON HOLD)

Chapter 6

Alexander's Point Of View

I hold Eliza at the bar as she cries. Something about Angelica yelling at her. It must have been about Peggy. I look around for John; he's close with Peggy – just like Hercules and Lafayette, I realise – so I wonder why he isn't with her as Angelica 'talks' to her. Laf and Herc are only around the corner, probably to make sure Peggy doesn't break down, or that Angelica doesn't go over the top.

Honestly, this isn't how I imagined Angelica's reaction to find out about Peggy and Maria. I mean, I knew she wouldn't be the happiest girl, but I never thought she'd react like this.

I continue to look around, and I see Maria next to her brother, James. The sight on its own scares me. I lightly push Eliza off of me, moving slowly over to Maria. Eliza follows, her hand locked in mine. We stop in front of the Reynolds'. James looks at me, a glare evident. I look over at Maria,
"How you feeling?" I ask, my voice drowned in pity. Maria blinks a few times, droplets of tears rolling down her face. I take this as an answer, and notice that her brother isn't going to do anything about the crying girl, so I go to take her in my arms, but Eliza does it quicker. James' face is a permanent glare, so it seems. I watch in concern as Maria starts whimpering.

Oh, I hope this doesn't last too long...

Hercules' Point Of View

Lafayette has his arms around me, and we listen in worry as Angelica scolds Peggy,
"I can't believe you kept this from me! And with her, none the less! I expected more from you! You're a Schuyler! We're meant to grow up and marry a man who will provide us with a good life!"

I wince. At least Peggy knows to keep her mouth shut when Angelica's angry.

"I don't want a man! I love Maria!"

Never mind. This is going to get messy.

"Oh you love her, do you? Well, isn't that wonderful? That's so going to change my mind about this!"

"If this was Eliza, you wouldn't care! You'd rather make out with Burr than let me date who I want! You only care about her, not me!"

Oh shit. Peggy, shut up...

Lafayette's grip tightens.
"She's in trouble now." He whispers. I can't help but whisper back,
"Who? Peggy or Angelica?"

Laf tightens his grip by a lot on purpose, making me squeal the tiniest bit. This conversation was about to get interesting.

"How dare you say that, Peggy! I have done so much for you-"
"No! You've done so much for her! You forced Alexander on a date with her! You never did anything about the time I had a thing for John! You never braided my hair. You left me in a shopping mall once! You can't help but keep forgetting about me!"

The silence tells me that Angelica is thinking over her options. Honestly, I don't want to know what happens next.

Burr's Point Of View

I sit back in my dorm, moving my phone to the desk. Lee sits on his bed, headphones on, probably listening to My Chemical Romance or something. I sigh, wiping small sweat beads off my face. This night has been rough.

I jump when I feel a hand on my shoulder. Turning around, I see Lee looking at me, a worried expression on his face,
"Are you okay, Aaron?" He asks, and I nod half-heartedly.
"Just tired, that's all." I smile lightly, and Lee chuckles.

I don't really process what happens next, my whole mind cleared of thoughts.

Charles Lee is kissing me. Charles bloody Lee is kissing me!

Not sure what to do, I just blink, and Lee pulls away.
"Shit- Sorry. I should not have done that without your permission. You just looked like you needed... Sorry..." His voice is shaking, and I don't reply straight away. Lee goes back to his bed, head in hands.

I wander over, so many thoughts in my head, and kneel down in front of him so I'm relatively the same height.
"Charles..."
"What?"

I take a breath.
"Don't tell anybody about what's about to happen."
I see the confusion in his eyes, and just push my lips against his. The confusion changes to surprise, before he starts kissing back. When we pull away for breath, Lee winks and pulls me on top of him as he falls backwards, connecting our lips back together.

I'm not complaining to what's gonna happen next.

Jefferson's Point of View

I ignore all the drama going on inside, and follow Laurens as he goes to the canteen. Luckily for me, James and I didn't agree to a relationship, so this is going to be easier than I thought.

Just as Laurens turns the corner, I rush up and push him against the wall.
"Huh? Thomas, what're you doing?"

I smirk, and lean in, close to Laurens' ear.
"You're so bloody hot, John..." I whisper. Of course, I don't mean this. My plan is only to piss off Hamilton. And this will do the trick.

The stuttering from Laurens, and his bright face tells me my plan's working. I bite my lip, my hand laced into his hair. Laurens looks so conflicted, it's amazing.
"You know I'm with Alex, right? Thomas, this isn't right. James would be heartbroken if he saw this."

Those words strike me like a bolt of lightning. James would be heartbroken if he saw us. But, pushing that aside, I know I have to do this. I just need to do this. I quickly curse at myself mentally, before planting my lips onto Laurens'. He looks so concerned, not kissing back.

That doesn't matter, at least I've got him where I need him.

Heh.

Laurens' Point Of View

I try to push Thomas away, my hands on his chest, but he's too strong. I look around, trying to at least stop him from kissing me. But I see something that makes me feel so helpless.

No, I see someone.

Alexander.

And his expression looks broken.

-=-

IM SO SORRY I HONESTLY AM BUT I REMEMBERED I SAID THOMAS WOULD FLIRT WITH LAURENS IM SO SORRY DONT HATE ME.

I've got a small problem; so I got a spare laptop cause my normal one is minorly broken and school needs to fix it. The problem is I can't access Wattpad (or discord or anything like that) when using that laptop. So, I'm gonna need to update on my bro's laptop, which means some of the updates could be a bit late. I really will try not to take too long.

Alright~ 

BurrLee is my jam,
-Me <3
