The Schuyler Scandal || Modern Meggy

Chapter 13 (Edited)

Peggy POV

"PEGGS!" Eliza screeched while barging into my room.

"AHHHH!" I shot out of bed and screamed. I had finally got to sleep in my own bed for the first time in a while because the hospital released me last night. "Don't scare me like that!"

"Sorry," she laughed. "I just wanted to show you something that I found." A mischievous smirk appeared on her face as she sat down at the end of my bed.

"What is it?" I questioned, my voice riddled with confusion.

"Well, I was cleaning your room a few days ago, and I found something pretty interesting," she said, attempting to draw the story out as much as possible.

"Whatttttttttttttttt?" I asked, getting closer to my sister. Eliza reached into the pocket of her cardigan and pulled out several pieces of paper.

"Alright. This one says, 'My Dearest, Mari-'" I cut her off by flinging myself on top of her.

"Give those back Liz!" I shouted, trying to grab them. Eliza stood up and dangled them above her head.

"You'll have to catch me first!" she exclaimed while running down the hall of my apartment.

"Dammit Eliza!" I grunted as I started to chase her.

Maria POV

"MARIA WAKE UP!" Eliza shouted before she divebombed my bed.

"What?" I groaned while rolling over onto my side.

"Stop being a potato and read these love letters from Peggy!" the girl practically screeched.

"And I'm up," I giggled, looking toward Eliza with perked interest. Suddenly, I heard a shriek from downstairs.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU ELIZABETH SCHUYLER!"

Eliza just laughed and handed me a stack of crumpled paper.

"Did............did you find these in the trash or something?" I questioned.

"Maybe. Now I suggest hiding if you want to read those. I have a feeling Peggy's gonna burst in here any minute," Eliza replied with an all-knowing smirk. I quietly obeyed and hid under the bed with the letters clutched close to my chest. After a minute of suspenseful waiting, I finally picked one out and started to read.

Peggy POV

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU ELIZABETH SCHUYLER!" I screeched, searching every room downstairs before storming back to the second level. I checked every single little nook and cranny before mentally face palming.

"She's in Maria's room," I sighed while turning and sprinting towards Maria's bedroom.

"ELIZA!" I shouted, practically kicking the door down as I entered the room.

"Mhmmm. I do believe that's my name," Eliza said jokingly. I rolled my eyes, then looked around the room and started to panic.

"Where's Mar?" I asked my sister worriedly.

"Well, I can tell you that she's DEFINITELY not under the bed," Eliza quipped while giving me a shit eating grin. I quickly got on my knees and lifted up the bed skirt. As I bent my head down, I was met with a pair of lips crashing onto mine. It took me by surprise, but that was soon washed away as I melted into the kiss. I loved this girl so much. Words cannot contain my love for her. As the kiss deepened, I could here Eliza squeal. Finally, though, we had to part for air. Maria gazed up at me in totally bliss.

"Did you really write all these for me? Are these all true?" she asked in a whisper.

"What do you mean?" I said. Maria picked up a stack of letters by her side and presented them to me. I quickly snatched them back. I hope she didn't read them all.

"Did you really mean all those things you said?" she inquired. The love I could see in her eyes gave me confidence. I looked down at the letters and wondered why they had made me so nervous before. With a shaky breath, I carefully handed them back to Maria.

"I meant everything I said," I stated lovingly, folding her hand around the letter. She smiled wide before pulling me for another kiss. This time, I slowly dragged her out from under the bed and sat her in my lap. When we parted, she rested her forehead on mine. "I love you," she whispered contently. I smiled at her before replying.

"I love you too."

Eliza POV

I don't think they know that I'm still here. All well! My ship's canon and I'm happy. All it took was me breaking into their apartment early in the morning and exposing my sister to her girlfriend! Easy!

Alexander POV

"I can't do it," I whispered, practically hyperventilating. I clutched onto John for dear life.

"Shhh baby girl. I know. I don't want to do this either. Now, I realize that she is the last person in the world to be considered guilty, but we have to consider the evidence. Her DNA was on everything. Again, trust me when I say I don't want to do this," John cooed, attempting to comfort me. He kissed my forehead before asking me a question.

"Would you prefer if I did all the talking?" I shook my head no as we arrived in front of apartment 1814. I grasped John's hand in a death grip before knocking on the door. A girl in a pink dress opened it with a smile. Taking a deep breath, I made an announcement that I had been dreading.

"Angelica Schuyler, you're under arrest."
