Peggy POV
After texting Eliza and Lafayette, I sighed and put my phone away and quietly drank my tea. My phone kept buzzing in my pocket non-stop. I got it out and called an Uber. Even though the dorms are like right down the street, I didn't feel like walking.
*several moments later*
My Uber eventually came, in the mean time I was drowning myself in tears and break up music. I entered the Uber and said hello to the driver. He gave me a dirty look and began to drive away before I could close the door and get settled.
He looked at me through his mirror and noticed my black mascara dripping down my teary, red face.
The driver groaned and asked "what happened."
I looked up at him, George King?
I rolled my eyes and replied "why would you care?"
"Look I don't, I'm trying this new thing where I'm being nicer to people, so what happened."
I chuckled and told him that Herc and I broke up. He gasped and said
"Oh my honey, just got dumped, bummer."
"Hey, the break up feeling was mutual." I snapped back.
"Well here, take this."
He handed me some makeup wipes, which he conveniently had stashed in his glove compartment. He also handed me some mascara "now fix yourself."
"Thanks?" I said, hesitantly "Wait why do you have makeup wipes and mascara?" I questioned.
"We all have our kinks." He replied back.
I chuckled and began to use the makeup wipes.
"Now Peg Leg, you don't need a man, you are in the greatest city in the world."
"Aw thanks." I smiled.
George eventually pulled over and unlocked the doors
"Bye" he said waving.
"Bye"
"Wait-" he said before I closed the door "give me back my mascara and makeup wipes, those are very very expensive" putting his hands outside of the window getting his "kinky supplies"
"Okay we'll see you in class!" I said walking away.
"Wait-"
"What now?"
"Don't forget."
"Forget what?"
"To give me 5 stars and a good review dumb-ass."
"Same old George" I sighed.
"Also don't forget what I told you."
"Okay" I replied trying to walk away.
"Well I better go before I get a ticket. Later loser!" He drove away knocking down a few trash cans.
I stood in front of my dorm building and walked inside and up the stairs.
I finally get to my dorm and take a deep breath in before opening the door. I know that what awaits me. I turn the knob and creak the door open just a bit and I see Angelica and Eliza contemplating Hercules' death. I enter the Eliza shouts
"WHAT HAPPENED?"
"ARE WE GONNA HAVE A PROBLEM?" Angelica butted in.
"I'm fine."
"LETS KICK HIS ASS!" Eliza screeched.
"HELL YEAH!" Angelica shouted back.
"BRAKE HIS BONES, TIE HIM UP TO A TREE AND BEAT HIM WITH A BAT!" Eliza screeched again.
"Woah, don't you think that's a little too far?" I questioned.
"NOTHINGS TOO FAR!!" Eliza replied.
"LETS LAY A BUNCH OF LEGOS AROUND HIS BED, SO WHEN HE WAKES UP HE STEPS ON THEM AND FEELS THE RATH OF THE SCHUYLER SISTERZ!" Angelica screamed triumphantly.
"Now that's too far-you-you-YOU MONSTER" Eliza shouted.
I sighed and said I was alright.
"WHAT ABOUT LAFF?!" Eliza questioned.
"First, stop screaming. Second, I think I'm gonna take a break from guys for a while. I mean I do like Lafayette, but he'll always be here. When I'm ready I'll strike or maybe him."
Both of them nodded in sequence.
"He said he wanted to talk to me. I'm not sure about what though." I replied grabbing my bag from the couch "I'll be back."
"Hey, can you get us some legos?" Eliza asked me before I left.
"What for?"
"Oh, just something." Eliza replied smiling mischievously.
They both started to laugh as I exited.
I strolled to his dorm, hoping not to run into Hercules. I knocked on the door and John answered.
"Oh, hey Peggy!" He said smiling.
"Hey, is Laff here?"
"Yeah I'll get him."
"MARIE-JOSPEH PAUL YVES ROCH GILBERT DU MOTIER MARQUIS DE LAFAYETTE!" John screamed.
"WHAT?" Laff screamed back.
"YOU HAVE A VISITOR!!" John shouted "please, come in."
"Thanks."
I sat on the couch and waited for Lafayette. Alex was sitting on the couch next to John #goals .
"So, how's everything with Herc?" Alex questioned.
"Oh, we broke up." I replied hesitantly.
"Oh." Alex said showing pitty "I'm sorry."
"No, it's fine."
"Well you're in the greatest city in the world! There's other fish in the sea."
"Yeah, Yeah." I replied.
Lafayette finally got out of his room looking shnazy, as always.
"You ready?" He said pulling his pants up.
"Yeah. Bye John and Alex see you later, I guess."
Alex gave me a salute
"Bye Peggy, I always love our little talks." John said holding his knee.
Lafayette closed the door and looked back at Alex and John who were making weird faces at each other.
"Oh wait! Make sure you're home by 4 you crazy kids." John said motherly. (Is that even a word? "Motherly" I don't give a fuck)
I waved at the two #GOALz. I ship it hard.
Lafayette and I began to walk, he held the door open for me
"such a gentleman!" I giggled.
He just shrugged and chuckled.
We went to Central Park. A lonesome willow tree, huh.
We both sat on the bunch under the tree, so many memories.
"So, how you holding up?" Lafayette questioned putting his arm on the back of the bench, not around me or anything.
"I've been pretty good.  I think I'm gonna stay away from guys for a while."
"Oh, well a break is always nice." He said smiling his perfect smile.
"How's everything been with you?"
"Well, the reason I wanted to meet with you was to of course to see how you're doing, but to also tell you something."
"WHAT?" I begged.
"I'm thinking about joining the military. The Marines."
"WHAT?" I screeched.
"Yeah yeah I know I know. I'm just not sure yet. I never truly belonged anywhere, and I want to do my country and family honor."
My eyes started to get teary. I can't bare to lose him.
"But-but-but what if you get killed or captured?  What about your hair and your friends? What about me?" I began to hyperventilate.
"Hey, hey it's gonna be okay. We can still call and text. They said I'd be stationed in South Carolina. It's a bit of a hike I know, but I'll still be here."
"Please don't. I don't want to lose you." My stomach in knots.
"I'm sorry Peggy."
He gives me a big, long and romantic kiss and leaves.
"Laff." I cry out.
He left me, at the lonesome willow tree.
