Laurens POV:

I watch as Alexander sleeps, I know it seems creepy but he seems afraid. Even when asleep, I fear that he may have been abused. I head towards the kitchen in our dorm to get myself a drink, while I was filling up a glass of orange juice I felt a wave of sadness fall upon me. It wasn't just sadness, it was fear, anger, sever hatred. I wanted to ignore it but I felt something new, hope and recurrence. I closed my eyes and listened, I heard music, music that sounded like an orchestra playing B flat minor. A sad tone, almost depressing. I saw deep blue streaks, in waves of oceans of sadness. The blue was surrounded by a dull yellow, a sign of decay and sickness. Then the sound changed a song of fear. It reminded me of fears and dreams. It sounds safe until fear strikes. 

It struck fear into my heart, the colours changed as well. Black streaks form around my vision, I was about to open my eyes when it changed again. The sounds of the drums of war, a hard pounding that sent rage into my mind. The colours changed to deep red and red-orange fire, behind it was flickering of images. The images were barely seeable, I wanted to see them. What I could see was two people, a full grown man and a small boy. The boy looked familiar but I couldn't place it where I saw him from. What I saw was devastating, the man was shouting. He lifted his hand and hit the boy, his eyes were turning dull. Through the dullness, I saw red. It haunted me and enraged me. The image was swept away by a new colour and a new sound, it was the sound of hope and safety. A stream that was secure, the colours were changed to aqua, a colour that signifies safety and emotional healing. 

Soon the colours disappeared along with the sounds. I opened my eyes to see the kitchen again. I shuddered remembering the colours. I took my drink back to my bed, I looked at Alexander to see he was awake. 'You woke up' I said.

Alexander just nodded, he was looking at his hands. I could tell he was feeling uneasy, I sat on the edge of his bed. He looked my direction from the movement of the bed, despite his eyes being dull he was handsome. He gave me a weak smile before looking at his hands again. I didn't really know what to do. I just sat there, the silence was suffocating. 'Are you ok?' I asked him. 

He just nodded, I could tell that he was lying. I didn't want to push him so I left it alone, I sighed and headed to my own bed. I laid on my bed, trying to sleep. I couldn't, I pretended to sleep but in reality, I was watching Alex. 

Hamiltons POV: 

Laurens went back to his bed, I softly sighed. I knew my soulmate was here. I knew I was close to him. I felt him seeing my emotions, he saw a fraction of my memory. I was just turning blind at the time, it still pains me to remember it all. I sat up on the bed and blindly walks in the dark that has haunted me since I was 8. I grabbed the white cane that helps me to kind of see. I grabbed the dorm keys from the countertop, I open the door and walk outside. I felt the cool night air around me, I took a deep breath in. It smelled amazing, my whole life I've been trapped inside my house. It wasn't a home to me, it was a cell. I sat down in the cold grass, I sensed people walking around. I heard them whispering and talking, they were laughing. One of their laughs was recognizable. 

I froze, Eliza Schuyler. She lived in my area when I was 3, my mother was alive then. She used to be my friend, then she turned. Something in her snapped, she began to ignore me. Whenever we saw each other at the park she seemed to have a dull look to her. Whenever my mother wasn't looking she would push me to the ground. It hurt my feelings, I got over it when she moved away. I was happy without friends for a few days. Then my mother died when I was 4, her last request was for me to make friends. I promised that I would but it was hard when my father kept me inside that house and beat me. 

I stayed quiet as I hear Eliza and her crew walk past me. I let out a sigh of relief as I know they didn't see me. I waited until their footsteps disappeared, I clicked my tongue to find my cane. I grabbed my cane and stand up. I walked inside, my cane tapping the ground looking around for my dorm. I rammed into the wall next to my dorm room, I heard Eliza's sister stop. Her name was Peggy Schuyler, she was the nicer sister as I heard. I never knew Peggy since she wasn't born when I was friends with Eliza, Angelica was never there. I didn't get to know her very well so I didn't really care for her. I felt her gaze on me, I kept still hoping she wouldn't tell Eliza. I held my breath, she turned and walked back with the group. I let my breath out and unlocked my door, I walked in and set my cane down. Clicking my tongue I walk to my bed and fall asleep. 

I sleep for what seems minutes. No dreams this time which I was grateful for, I sense someone looking at me in my sleep. I wake up to hear Laurens getting ready for class, I grabbed the special watch that told me what time it was. 7:30, I got up despite my classes being at 8:00. I grab onto the walls to find my way to the kitchen, I clicked my tongue to find Laurens eating some cereal. I sit down at the table, John looked at me. 'We don't have class till 8:00, sorry if I woke you' he said, 'I like to wake up early to get prepared for class' 

I nod, I grab a pen and paper and wrote down. 'It's ok, I like to wake early as well.' 

I clicked my tongue to see him smiling, he sits next to me and continues to eat. It was a comfortable silence that was interrupted by a knock at the door. Laurens got up and opened the door, I stand up and again used the walls to walk to the door with Laurens. I heard a voice, it wasn't familiar but it felt strange. I couldn't see but I could hear, smell, and feel. The feel of the persons' voice was strange, I walked in and sat on my bed. 'This must be Alexander Hamilton,' the voice said. 

I felt Laurens nod, the man walked in front of me. I click my tongue to see him, he was a darker colour and his hair was puffy and huge. I signed to him, 'Hello, I am Alexander,''

'I know, You can't speak huh?' he asked.

I nodded, I trusted him a bit. I sensed him nod and smile. 'I'm going to teach John sign if that is ok with you,' 

I nod, it made me happy to know that John would finally be able to understand me. He nodded again, he walked to John. 'Shall we begin?' he asked.
