HAMILTON: Truth or Dare

CHAPTER 3 ~ J-Walk

ALEX'S POV

"Okay..." I started. "Wait... guys... where's Laf?"

The Gang looked around in confusion as well. Peggy, Eliza, Angie and Herc exchanged worrisome looks. When Herc glanced back at me, tears had spilled down his cheeks.

"I-i-" He started.

"He's gone." Angie whispered, and looked down at her lap.

"What do you mean he's gone?" I snapped, like the words were poison to my lips.

"I don't-" Herc tried to explain.

Eliza rubbed Herc's back to gesture she would explain. What was going on? I just want to know where my best friend is!

"When Herc was under the 'simulation'," Eliza sighed. "Laf didn't a-answer s-so-" She started to cry.

"So Herc k-killed L-laf." Peggy finished Eliza's words.

My eyes went wide and my heart sunk. Hercules killed Laf? How?

"You're kidding." I laughed.

Herc shook his head in disagreement.

"I-i did." Herc confessed.

"YOU SON OF A B-" I yelled before Angie could punch my arm.

"I couldn't control myself!" Hercules screamed.

"OH REALLY? YOU JUST HAD TO KILL YOUR- MY BEST FRIEND?!" I yelled back, the words passing my lips.

"YOU ALMOST KILLED ELIZA!" Hercules screamed in reply.

Everything hit pause. Hercules was right.

"JEFFERSON STARTED IT!" I yelled, tears bubbling up in my eyes.

Jefferson snarled and mumbled something I couldn't hear.

"STOP," Peggy yelled. "The last thing we need right now is to lose each other,"

Peggy was right. I'm so immature. Why can't I be more chill?

"We already lost Laf, do you really-" Peggy exclaimed.

There was a distant noise.

"Shh," I hushed.

"Wanna lose-" Peggy kept talking.

"Shh," I hushed again, only this time louder.

"Each other?" Peggy cried.

"SHH!" I whisper-screamed.

Peggy shut up and everyone looked at me with puzzled looks. More noises.

"You hear that?" I whispered.

Everyone kept quiet and listened in more. Screaming. I looked towards Theo and Burr. They were hugging each other close. Then the Schuyler's and they were all wide-eyed. Jefferson's back straightened all of a sudden in alert.

"Jemmy." He mumbled.

We all exchanged looks.

"W-wait," Maria said. "So... JR is still alive?"

Jefferson shrugged. It was a stupid question anyways, considering the fact we haven't seen him since he was being shoved into the ground by demon-infested Madison. The screaming came closer and closer. More screaming... then a dirt-covered Madison came hustling in to our circle.

"He-then-I-and-he-and-knife-with-" Madison huffed, clearly out of breath.

Jefferson hugged him close.
