Satisfied

Chapter 7

Angelica's perspective

As soon as Thomas hung up, I knew I lost him. I knew, I now had no chances with him at all. He was Eliza's now. I can't say I wasn't happy for her but I must admit I still have feelings for Thomas.

It was only a few months ago when I met him. My sisters and I were throwing a party at our rather expensive house while our mother and father went on a vacation on their 25th anniversary. We invited a few friends and everyone on the block, including Jefferson, Burr, and Madison. Alexander wasn't a big fan of this idea, but it'd be rude not to invite them. Eliza and he were boyfriend and girlfriend at the time, and he purposed just two weeks after the party. I remember the exact moment he walked, I felt my heart skip a beat. I hadn't known what love felt like 'til I saw him. He was like a magnet, I could tell many other ladies felt the same way. I didn't want to be too distracted by him, so I continued partying. But I couldn't help but glance at him every once in a while, and each time he was surrounded by a group of women. I most likely couldn't even get near him, and even if I could I'd most likely be ignored.

I looked at Peggy, who was flirting with John, and then I looked over at Eliza, even she was brainwashed by his charms. But it was completely understandable for her liking another man while with Alexander. I'd known how bad he'd been treating Eliza, but I'd need a reason to confront him first. I'm pretty sure he's cheating on Eliza, but I'd need more proof. I know he's after her for our family's money. I felt sympathetic towards Eliza. She really did love him and I didn't wanna ruin their relationship.

After a ton of partying, I noticed the group of women usually surrounding Thomas were gone. I eventually built up the courage to talk to Thomas and I approached him.

"Hi," I manage to say to him awkwardly.

"Hey, you're Angelica, right?" He said. He was so much more confident than me.

"Heh, yep. That's me." I giggle awkwardly. I immediately want to faceplant.

"Nice party, I'm Thomas, by the way."

"Yeah, I saw you surrounded by all those girls." I laugh, a bit more confident

"Heh, yeah...they're all just hoes who want money and sex." He rolls his eyes

"Sounds like my soon to be brother-in-law," I say motioning towards Alexander

"Ew, I work with him. I feel bad for you now,"

"I know right!"

"So, which one of your sisters is 'in love' with him?"

"Eliza," I say and motion towards Eliza. I noticed Thomas' face get slightly red when he looked at her.

"Woah, she has the Schuyler Sister charm!" Thomas says laughing awkwardly. I could feel my heart slowly sink when I realized he had a crush on Eliza. I continued on with the conversation, though.

"Why thank you," I said sarcastically

"Hey! It's true! The Schuylers are known for being charming," he says smiling at me.

"No, it's mostly the money, to be honest. We always have guys chasing after us just for our money," I shrug

"I can completely relate! I also have gold-diggers following me around."

"Hehe, yeah. Hey, can I have your number?" I accidentally blurt out

"Oh someone has a crush?" He jokes

My cheeks turned red. "No!"

"Rude!" he jokes, pretending to be offended

"Sorry!" I respond

"It's fine but give me your phone," He says still smiling that smug smile of his. He typed his number so fast it kinda scared me.

"Well uh, see you soon?" I said, not knowing what to say. Thomas nods, before I walk away, I pull him down into a kiss. I then simply walked away like nothing happened, and look back to see the priceless look on Thomas' face. His face was a deep shade of red and his jaw was basically on the ground. I laugh, almost uncontrollably, and I keep on looking forward to see Alexander kissing Maria.

Now I know that I was right, Hamilton is a dick. Every time I saw him, I wanted to strangle him on the spot. He was not at all worthy of my sister and family. That man is completely insane, god knows what my sister had to go through. I was surprised she was still with him after all he's done to her. Eliza is the best thing in my life, I can't believe Alexander would treat her like this. Trust me, I wanted to kill him right then and there, but I kept my cool for the guests.

A few months passed, Thomas and I dated briefly before agreeing it would be better to just remain as friends. Still, I can't help thinking of him when just lying in bed. It was a total shocker to the system when Eliza told Peggy and I she was pregnant...with Thomas' child. I felt my shatter into a billion little pieces. Many say I will never be satisfied with any relationship, they aren't wrong. I never know how important someone is to me until I lose them...

Only about a moment ago, Thomas FaceTimed me and told me my sister was in danger and begged me to check on her. I agreed and ran to her house not knowing what to expect. And when I opened that door I felt a million daggers stab into my heart. Eliza was laying on the floor crying, blood dripping out her nose while she clutched Philip. I felt my eyes water up when I saw this horrendous scene. I had no idea how to feel about this-I was angry, infuriated, in fact, but I also felt extremely sympathetic and distraught towards Eliza. I couldn't let my emotions get the best of me, I had to help Eliza and Philip.

"Eliza!" I shout in a complete state of panic. All she did was slightly open her eyes.

"A-Angie?" she whispers, I can hear that she is clearly in pain. I run over to her side, holding her head up.

"I'm here Eliza," I say, gently lay her head back down, and went to go get a few tissues for her blood and tears.

"Thanks, Angie," she weakly says.

"Eliza, I don't want you seeing Thomas if this type of stuff is going to happen to you,"

"This always happens" She sighs, still holding Philip in her arms. Those three words really hit me.

"W-wait, what...?" I manage to stutter. Eliza looked down, and I took it as her answer. I hugged my sister close to me as if our lives depended on it.
