Hamilton College AU (ON HOLD)

Chapter 15

I know I said this chapter won't have a tw, but I realised it needs one. So, basically, suicide mention/attempted suicide mention. Thanks, y'all, and don't hate me for the last chapter.

Hercules' Point Of View

I rush forward, catching John before he falls. I'm glad he took the noose off before falling. He sobs in my arms, and I carry him gently to the ground,
"It's okay, John... We're here." I whisper as he cries. He pushes me away and moves to Alexander, who was almost wailing.

Alexander's Point Of View

He didn't, did he? But he did... I heard the chair...

"I'm sorry, Alex... I'm here. I didn't..."

He...

I wipe my eyes, and see him in front of me. I wrap my arms around him, kissing his neck. I pull away,
"Never do that again..." I hear a sniffle, a small chuckle,
"I only promise if you promise to never do it yourself."

I breathe in, attempting to get some relatively good amount of breath, but I start coughing. I feel John hold me closer,
"Sh, it's alright. I'm here, I'm here." he whispers. How is he that calm? It was him that almost ended his own life. It doesn't really make sense. What exactly is going through his mind?

Laurens' Point Of View

I hold him. He loves me. Those are the only thoughts in my head at the moment. I know I should be freaking out, but I can't. Alexander freaking Hamilton just said he loves me. I realise now, it wasn't my fault, but Thomas'. He was trying to place the blame on me. I don't know, exactly, what made me think this was the best way to sort things out.

We spend an hour just sitting there, hugging. I know the others haven't left; they must be terrified. I go to stand, but Alex's grip on me tightens. I smile, kissing his cheek,
"I'm not going far." I whisper, and he loosens. I stand, and immediately hug Hercules and Lafayette in a group hug. I have no words to say to them. They're probably so angry, at the same time as being scared. I know this was my fault. But I don't say anything.
"I'm sorry for not believing you, John." I hear Lafayette whisper, and I sniffle,
"It's alright, Lafayette."
"I'm sorry for not doing anything." Hercules mutters, and I hug them tighter,
"Just shut up, you guys did nothing."

Jefferson's Point Of View

Jesus, how long do they take? James is freaking out, and won't stop until he knows John is okay!

This is all my fault, I know. I shouldn't have done anything. Alex and I are actually acquaintances now. That's a step up from enemies. I regret it all, now. Watching James break down like that made me feel horrible. The fact that he's still in my arms, sobbing and muttering things... It gets to me. I try to calm him down,
"James, please. I'm sure he's okay." I whisper, kissing his head. I have my phone in my hand,

Lafayette, what the hell is going on? James needs some closure right now, and I have none to give him. Is he okay or not?

I impatiently wait for the response.

He's okay. Got here just in time. Sorry we haven't told you. Hercules was kind of freaking out as well, just wanted to make he was okay.

[Message Sent 12;32pm]
Thank gosh. Thanks for letting me know. Hope you're okay =)

I straighten James,
"Guess what? He's alright. Lafayette just texted me saying they were just calming down."

I hear a small sound from him, and stifle a laugh. He makes the strangest sounds sometimes.

James' Point Of View

He's alright? It's a miracle. A freaking miracle!

I really thought I'd lose my best friend. I hate myself for not doing anything, but Thomas tells me it's normal to freak out like that. He says Alex and the others reacted out of knowledge. I'm not sure what they mean by that, but I shrug it off.

I'm just glad he's okay.

So, for my friends. I'm sorry for the suspense, and mildly trolling you. But, I promise you, this chapter was the original from the start and I never changed a bit of it. (Except when editing the mistakes xD)

I guess that's it for today. I haven't actually written the next chapter so it might be the weekend or something but-

I'VE UPDATED A LOT IN TWO DAYS IM SURE YOU CAN WAIT
