HAMILTON: Truth or Dare

Chapter 5 ~ Broken

(Filler chapter, really short but worth it!)

BURR'S POV

I came up to Eliza and rubbed her back.

"I am so sorry for your loss." I said, hugging her.

Eliza nodded and tears rolled off her cheeks to my shoulder. We released after a couple seconds and I gave her my prayers. It's so sad how Peggy went... and that I had to experience it. Even though we weren't considered friends, she was a fighter and a sassy person... I liked that. Angelica stood at the other side of the room, talking to Alexander and John. I approached the Crew.

"Hey guys," I awkwardly said.

They all stared at me with blank expressions.

"I'm sorry for your loss." I said, my eyes explaining themselves.

Angelica looked down at the floor and nodded.

"Thank you." She mouthed.

I turned away and sat down, checking my watch. Theo should be here? I don't know what's taking her so long. Then Angelica and Eliza approached the podium.

"We are gathered here today to celebrate the life of Margarita Schuyler, or as many of you knew her by; Peggy Schuyler," Angelica stated, scanning the room and making eye contact with multiple people.

"There is no hesitation in stating that Peggy was a fighter," Eliza exclaimed.

She was. I'm surprised she never joined the Gang.

"She was a lover, a caregiver and so much more." Tears rolled down Eliza's face, and Angelica wiped them away.

A door suddenly opened and shut. I turned to the right side of the venue to see Theo. I waved my hand gently so I wouldn't disrupt anything. Theo quickly ran over to me and sat down.

"Would anyone like to share some words?" Angelica asked, scanning the crowd.

Theo turned to me with a menacing smile. Oh. No. I slowly backed away, pushing Theo away from me.

"Truth or dare." She whispered, grabbing my leg.

"No, Theo," I yelped. "Stop!"

But that didn't stop her.

"TRUTH OR DARE!" Theo yelled, her voice filling the venue.

"Not again!" Alexander yelped, getting up from his seat.

Angelica and Eliza stand dumbfounded up at the podium, watching the scene.

"Dare, I don't know!" I replied, falling to the floor as Theo toppled over me.

"Break Eliza's hand." Theo cackled, slowly inching off of me.

"No, let's not do that?" Angelica cried, holding the surprised Eliza close to her.

"Break Eliza's hand... or else." Theo laughed, getting on her feet.

"Break mine." Angelica pleaded, holding her hand out on the podium.

"Angie, that's not the best idea!" John yelped, running up to her side.

Hercules got up and pushed Theo against the wall.

"John?" Hercules questioned, gesturing him for help.

John came running over and the boys both held Theo to the wall.

"I'm not breaking anyone's hand." I stated with no hesitation.

"Goddamnit, Aaron," Angelica yelled. "Just break my hand! Do you want to die?!"

I shrugged my shoulders as I got up to my feet. Alexander looked at me, his eyes curious.

"Why? It's your chance to hurt someone from the Crew, isn't that your dream?" Alexander asked, sarcasm in his voice.

Angelica bit her lip and closed her eyes when Alexander handed me a hammer.

"I told you to break Eliza's hand!" Theo yelled, struggling to get out of John and Hercules grip.

Eliza stood up next to Angelica, anger in her expression. She threw Angelica's hand off the podium and slapped her own hand on the podium.

"Do. It." Eliza stated.

This is the most angered I've ever seen Eliza. I took the hammer and held it in the air over Eliza's hand. And on the count of three, in my head, the hammer came slamming down and a yelp escaped Eliza's mouth.
