Chapter 6

Flashback: while hamilton was still in class

"sooo.. You all might be wondering why I brought you all here today." everyone looks intently at Angelica. "I am setting up a date. Between Eliza and Alex that is." John raises an eyebrow. "how'dya get Alex to agree?" Angelica giggles. "I didn't! We're gonna make him think we're all going for a coffee, but I set up a super romantic picnic somewhere, it's a secret." she looks at laf and her. "you two are going on a date too" they both smile at her. "me and Peggy are going to do some shopping." John looks down sadly. "guess that means I'll just.. Go home.." everyone looks at John sympathetically. "you poor child.. You'll find a girl someday" John shudders at the word girl. "yeah..i guess.." he says before Hamilton walks out the classroom.

End of flashback

Hamilton's pov.

SHIT.

They left us here, in the middle of nowhere. With a.. Picnic???!! That damn Angelica probably planned this. "oh.. Oh well.." Eliza giggles. "I guess we're stuck here, we can't let this food go to waste. I sigh. "I guess.." I hesitantly sit down. "so.. What's with you and John anyway?"  I feel my cheeks get warm. "nothing, just.. Friends.." Eliza looks at me suspiciously "you look upset. What's wrong?" I am upset "nothing" I shouldn't be here with you. "you're blushing too. Tell me, what's on your mind" John is "nothing, let's just enjoy this" how can I? "no, Alexander. Your sad, I can see. What's wrong? Are you and John fighting about something?" I can't take this anymore. "you can tell me anything hun.." She reaches for my hand. "Eliza please." stop. Stop it. I can't. " what?" she leans in to my lips.

I can't take this anymore

I push her away. "huh...?"

"stop it.. Eliza.. I can't.."

"what do you mean you can't.?"

"I can't do this."

"what..?"

"I'm sorry."

I run away, as far as I can until I find a cab. I need to find John.

I open our apartment door. "John?" I hear sobbing in the bathroom. "John?!" I rush towards the bedroom. The bathroom door is wide open, I see John, leaning over the sink, blood seeping out from cuts on his wrists. "a-Alex?! I thought you were.. Going to..." I cover my mouth in shock. "what.. Are you doing?" tears flow down his adorable, freckled cheeks. His beautiful curly hair, going all over the place, sticking on his face. And those green eyes. Lost their light. "I.. I just.." he struggles to find his words. I walk towards him slowly. "shh.. It's.. It's going to be ok.." I slowly pull him into a hug. His arms struggle to wrap around me, I'm guessing it's because of the stinging pain of his cuts making contact with my clothes. He cries onto my shoulder for a moment. "I.. I need to tell you.. I can't hide it anymore.." I run my hand through his hair. "I.. I'm gay.. And a-Alex.. I.. I like you.. Like.. A lot.. And.. I'm sorry..." I pull away from the hug. He looks at me in pure fear of my next words. "John.." he's crying harder than before. "I'm s-sorry. I need to go!" he runs past me, out the bathroom door and out the dorm. "hey, wait!" I run after him.

Eliza's pov

"Alex!" I run towards his dorm, desperate for answers. When I see John running out of it. "huh?" he runs straight past me, my hair going with the breeze of his speed. I look back at him, then back towards their dorm, where I see Alex chasing after him. I look back at John one final time, and sprint towards him. "John! Wait!" he looks back at me in shock. But looks forward again and keeps running. After a few seconds, we reach open ground and I see him stop for air. We catch up to him as he collapses on the ground. "I.. I'm sorry" he said weakly "for what?" Hamilton catches up to us. "huff.. Huff.. Jesus you run fast.." I put my hand on John's back, trying to calm him down a little. "what's wrong?" I ask calmly, Alex sits next to me. "Eliza... I.. I can't tell you.."
"then tell me!" Alex says after. "John I..." he continues, but stops after looking at me briefly. What is happening right now?..

"you what?" he asks Alex. "..." he stays silent.

Alexander's pov

How? How?! Eliza is here I can't just tell my "girlfriend" that I'm gay! What shit did I get myself in. I struggle to collect my thoughts and words. I love John. But I would hate to hurt Eliza's feelings.

I look at John. He's so cute. Everything about him, I love. I look at Eliza, she's a pretty woman, but.. Beside John.. She can't compare. "Alex." Eliza looks at me. "I deserve an explanation." my throat tightens. What am I supposed to say? Their both looking at me now.

That's it

I can't hold it

I can't hide it

Eliza..

I'm sorry..

"John." I start.

"i-"
"Eliza!!!" we turn our heads towards Peggy in the distance. "emergency!!! Hurry!!" Eliza stands up. "sorry, sorry. I need to go. Alex, we talk later. Bye."

"Alex.." John stands up slowly. He smiles sympathetically. "go, go after her. I'll be fine." I look at him in disbelief. "no John you don't.." he looks at me intently. "I have to say.." by this time, Eliza was already out of sight. "John, I love you. So much. I've been hiding it all this time. But.. Now.." I stop. John covers his mouth in shock. "Alex.." a smile crawls up the corners of his perfect lips. He jumps up and hugs me, tightly. I hug back immidietly. By then tears were already dripping down my cheeks. "I love you too" he sniffles, digging his face into my shoulders.

Too short? I don't care lol. Bye
