You Are My Story~ Alexander Hamilton x Reader

~Chapter Four~

~(Y/n)'s P.O.V~

~Two years later~

My brother has been gone for two years already, we exchange letters every day we have never missed sending one, although the letters were nice to have I missed seeing him in person it was boring and sad without him. It's been hard for me these two past years, when John left, papa used all our money to bet on different things, stupid things. Gambling had become one of his many habits that he has picked up since John left. The terrible thing is we have lost all our money, which pushed us out of our beautiful home. Lucky enough I had my own money saved that I used to buy myself a place to call my own. I was glad to be out of that house every single night papa would come home drunk and hurt me. I have a few scars from where he has hit me with his cane. He would beat me to take his anger out if he lost a bet or something like that. I didn't tell John, I really didn't want to worry him. He has a lot going on right now. So, I therefore moved into a little apartment block near John's favourite tavern. It was very noisy and somewhat scary during the night, men would hang around the streets eyeing up women who obviously sold their bodies for money. I was lucky enough to get a job at the library in town, I loved my job so much, it wasn't much money but it payed my bills, I was able to buy food and then something nice for myself. I usually bought myself new ink or paper seeing as I love to write. I know I'm only sixteen nearly seventeen but I wanted to make John proud when he left and that is what I'm doing.

I smile to myself as I walk down town heading to the library, I walk in seeing the owner I wave smiling to him. He walks up to me ruffling my hair. "Good morning (Y/n), it's a lovely day, out isn't it?" I nod heading to the desk seeing books that needed to be put away. "It most certainly is Grayham, you should go home and help Mary with the allotment. I can lock up here." He smiles nodding he walks to me slowly seeing that he suffers from back problems because of his age. He gives me the keys smiling. "I hope you have a wonderful day (Y/n)." I smile as he walks out I sigh happily as I pick up the books that needed to be put away I hum to myself putting the books away having a nose at all the books that I was yet to read. This was one of my favourite parts of my job, getting to see all the books and picking one to read throughout the day. I pick up a romantic novel and head back to my desk, I place it down going to the library door I open them up to show it was open. I smile heading back to my seat I sit down reading the book. I spend most of my day doing that.

I looked up seeing it starting to get late afternoon. I stand up holding the book to my chest, I smile as I grab the keys heading to the door, I lock up the library after cleaning it up for tomorrow and I head back home. I hold my book tighter getting scared seeing a group of men approaching me. They smirk looking at me. "Hey baby~ What's a pretty girl like you doing out here...alone~" I feel myself getting scared I walk faster getting pulled back. I look up at the man who pulled me back. "I-I'm g-going home." I feel a tear. "Aww look she's crying. I can make you feel better baby." He grabs my ass my eyes widen, I feel tears. I shake a little pushing past them I run off home, they chase me. I gulp running into the apartment block heading up the stairs. I run into my apartment locking the door after myself. I slide down the door, bringing my knees to my chest. I feel tears falling I hold my necklace in my hand. John, I miss you, I just wish this revolution was over and you could come home to me. I look to the side seeing a letter. I pick it up smiling a little wiping my tears. I open it reading it.

"To my dear sister (Y/n),

I hope everything is well back at home and you are safe. I hope you are not getting any bother off anyone. Father wrote to me yesterday and I was very confused to as of why he of all people would write to me. He told me that you have been a very independent young lady with a job and your own place. I'm very proud of you my dear and can not wait to see what you have done the time I have been gone. 

Although, I am writing to you because of something very important. I may or may not have gotten into a little trouble. It's okay now, everything is fine but I kinda duelled someone on camp. He was talking shit about my friends and I couldn't let that slide. He was also saying shit about our general! I wasn't harmed so please don't worry about that.

Anyway, my darling (Y/n), I hope to be home soon for a break. I will let you know sooner to the date. I love you my dear sister.

Your brother, J. Laurens"

My eyes widen reading the letter, I was mixed with feelings because he had duelled someone, I told him before he left not to do anything stupid and there he was in a predicament where he could of got shot. I stand up holding my book and letter close to my chest heading to my room I place the book on my bed and the letter in the box beside my bed, full of all my letters from John. I get dressed into my night dress getting into bed.

 I can't wait to see John hopefully I will see him soon. I will write my letter to him in the morning. I tell myself making a mental reminder. I look to the window looking up at the bright, beautiful stars taking in all they had to offer I smile blowing out my candle lying down. Goodnight, God bless John, I love you. Please come home safe to me soon. Mother I love you also, I hope you are doing well and I hope you are happy.
