Heartbroken [Phillip Hamilton x Reader]

Ch. 6 Take a Break

Y/n POV

"Bertha? What are you doing here?"

"Well Miss y/n, I have been ordered to assist you in your paintings for today since your father is busy at the moment."

"Okay...?"

It was a bit strange that dad wasn't coming this time. He never missed a painting contest of who can paint either the fastest or the best. I wonder what he's busy doing.

"So Bertha, have you painted before?"

"No I have not. That's honestly why I'm excited to today."

"Oh! Well it's fairly easy. You just take this brush, dip it in the paint, and move the brush however you want on the canvas."

One week later

I was getting ready for going out with daddy to town today. We were gonna walk around, see the shops, and stop for food. Until I saw who was at my door today.

"Hello Bertha! What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to take you out to town. Your father is busy once again and can't be disturbed."

"Oh. Okay then."

Two weeks later

I'm finishing up a painting I had been doing for a while as a surprise for my dad. I hope he likes it.

"Bertha? Can you tell my father to come down here please?"

"Yes y/n."

Thomas POV

I have been working nonstop. To try to get ahead of Hamilton but it isn't working.

Knock knock knock

"What do you want?"

"Mr. Jefferson, your daughter will like to show you something."

"Tell her it can wait. I'm busy."

"Yes sir."

I then got back to work. But then thought for a moment. What could y/n possibly have for me? I better go see. I walk over to her room and see...a giant mess! Her room is covered with paint can (pretend they have paint cans) and I see y/n covered in paint.

"Daddy! What'd you think?"

"Y/n! What have you done to your specially made dress?! And your floors are covered with paint!"

"It's fine! I can clean it later."

"No daughter of mine will clean this mess. Gentlemen, clean this up."

The men came running in and started cleaning.

"You didn't have to call them. I should be cleaning it, it's my mess."

"Nonsense. Now what did you want to show me?"

"This."

She showed me a drawing with two silhouettes at the bottom looking at the night sky. It was beautiful.

"Did-did you do this for me?"

"Yes because this is how you should be right now. Relaxing, taking a break. Not working day and night. I'm getting lonely."

Y/n looks down and I see tears forming in her eyes. Breaks my heart. I caused this to her?

"Oh sunshine. I'm sorry for not spending more time with you but daddy is going to be busy almost all the time now. I can't always be there for you. You understand right?"

She looks away.

"Yeah. I understand."

"Good Girl. Now, is you'll excuse me, I need to finish some papers."

Y/n POV

And like that, he walks away. I run outside, curl into a ball, and cry. But then I stop, he doesn't deserve these tears. Just go with it y/n. This is life and life hurts.

Authors note: sorry for a short chapter. I couldn't think of anything. Byeeeee
