A/n this based on the song First Burn I suggest you hear it it's amazing

In my room with his letters scattered around me. I hear him enter but stands by the doorway. "I saved every letter you wrote me from the moment I saw you I knew you were mine You said you were mine I thought you were mine" i look at on letter where you state how you envy my family closeness and how it would be a blessing to be part of it. "Do you know what Angelica said When I told her what you'd done?
She said "You have married an Icarus He has flown too close to the sun" i remember my sisters embrace when she told me that how she also let tears slip but she never cried i hear him come closer " Don't take another step in my direction I can't be trusted around you don't think you can talk your way Into my arms I'm burning the letters you wrote me You can stand over there if you want I don't know who you are I have so much to learn" he listens and stops where he is, i hear him trying not cry
" I'm re-reading your letters and watching them burn..." i grab the lighter i hid under my lighter and flick it on and put his letter where he just compliments me and watch it slowly burn until i put in into the trash can "You published the letters she wrote to you, you told the whole world how you brought this girl into our bed in clearing your name, you have ruined our lives" "IT WAS AN ACT OF POLITICAL SACRIFICE!!" he cries choking on his tears. I feel all my emotions fill my soul and I stand to face him. Hot tears pouring down my face "HEAVEN FORBID SOMEONE WHISPER 'HE'S PART OF SOME SCHEME YOUR ENEMY WHISPERS SO YOU HAVE SCREAM!!!!" I lower my voice into a whisper and look at him in the eye "I know about whispers
I see how you look at my sister" his eyes widen and opens his mouth to say something but I cut him off
"Don't...I'm not naive I have seen women around you don't think I don't see how they fall for your char-" i'm choking back on my tears now but i refuse to let him see me broken "...All your charms, I'm erasing myself from the narrative Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted When you broke her heart You have thrown it all away!!! I push him away from me turn back to the letters and trash can with the small fire going "Stand back, watch it burn...just watch it all burn" i give a sad smile til i remember. "And when the time comes explain to the children the pain and embarrassment You put their mother through When will you learn THAT THEY ARE YOUR LEGACY? WE are your legacy" i grab every single letter i can and throw it into the flame i march towards him he meets my glare and walks back til he's outside the room "If you thought you were mine...Don't" i slam the the door and collapsed onto the floor sobbing. "How could you do this Alexander?" i whisper to the door
