Her voice fades as she melts in her husbands arms. He walks her home.

        Days pass.                                                                      Alex P.O.V

Someone answers the door. I look at Eliza who has been in bed for the past couple of days. I go down stairs and answer it.

A: B-Burr!

B: Hi Alex just wanted to make sure every thing is alright. I heard what happened.

A: Ever thing is just fine.

B: When will you comeback to work?

A: Well Eliza is pregnant and she has been in bed, I don't know....

B: Alex...

A: Yes Burr?

B: Forget about what happened.

A: Burr....

B: Take care.

I watch him walk away. I .... No you do not. You love Eliza, Right? Great talking with your self.

El: Alex?

I turn around to see her come down the stairs.

A: Your up!

El: Could you please go to work?

A: Its been three days since I saw my son dead and hear in nine months I'm going to have another son.

El: I can get a abortion

A: No.

El: Alex?

A: Yes?

El: Go hang out with your friends...

A: Thank you, but I am staying here.

El: Poppy will be here later.

A: I said no.

El: Alexander please.

A: No.

El: What happened between you and Burr?

A: Nothing.

El: Then go.

A: No.

El: For fuck sake go.

A: No.

A: Thank you.

El: I'm gonna kill you one day.

A: And I'll deserve it.

I walk into the bar.

B: The strongest you got.

Bar tender: Bottle or glass?

B: Bottle.

he then slides me the bottle.

B: Put it on my tab.

Every Friday I pay off my tab. I go sit at a table in a corner. I open the bottle. I take a sip. I feel lonely and empty. Is it because of Alex. I mean I love him. Ever since he first asked if I was Aaron Burr. He was so young. Wanting a revaluation and he got one. Now he is growing old with a women he loves. I get up and walk out the bar. I take a sip every now and then.
