Hamilton
"Alex!"
"I'm coming James, hold on!" I swim against the strong current of the water. My brother, James, is holding onto a piece of wood and drifting away from me. "James! No!" I watch helplessly as he drifts further away and goes under. I swim as fast as I can but I don't get to him in time....
"Eliza!" I sit up quickly just as a bolt of lightening strikes outside. "Eliza!" Then I remember, she's not here. I have to deal with this on my own. I hear thunder outside and it rattles the whole house.
"Betsy," I say and hold her hand. "I-I think we need some space.."
Tears form in her eyes. "P-please, no." She holds onto me and squeezes my shoulders.
"I'm so sorry."
She lets go and wipes at her eyes. "I-just shut up. Take your stupid ring back." She takes the ring off her hand and throws it at me. "I can't believe you, Alexander. Messing around with Laurens when you knew I was pregnant. And now you're leaving me and your baby." She fake laughs. "And to think I ever loved you."
The memory fades. Thunder rolls outside and I hide under the covers and try to steady my breathing. I grab my phone and call John.
Laurens
I pull away from Francis when I hear my phone ring. I check the caller ID. And of course it's Alexander. "Are you gonna answer it?"
I hesitate for a minute before I stop the ringing and put my phone back down on the nightstand. "Nope."
Hamilton
"John please answer." I've called him at least five times already and he keeps ignoring it. "F-fuck." I take a few deep breaths and close my eyes. I try to think of good things but they all turn out bad. The rain lets up a little bit and I eventually fall asleep.

"You look like hell, Hamilton."
"Fuck off, Jefferson."
He walks over to me and bends down to my height. "Aww was someone scared of the rain last night."
"I said fuck off!"
"Poor thing. You probably even had a panic attack too, huh?"
That's it. I ball up my fist and punch him square in the jaw. "What the hell was that for?!" I ignore him and walk away. "You're not gettin away that easily, Hamilton." He pins me to the wall and knees me in my stomach repeatedly. I try to push him off of me but I can't.
"What is the meaning of this?!"
He stops hitting me and I fall to the ground. "Oh uh Mr. Washington, it's nothing sir."
"Nothing, huh?" He helps me up and I lean against him. "What started this?"
"I did," I say weakly. Washington looks down and sighs. "Both of you to my office, now."
He drags us up to his office. "Tell me exactly what happened, Hamilton."
"The rain last night gave me a panic attack and he was making fun of me for it."
"Even you wouldn't stoop that low, would you Thomas?"
He glares at me. "Of course that's not what happened."
"You bitch." I jump on him and punch his face.
Washington pulls us apart again. "Jefferson go out in the hallway for now."
"Yes sir." I flip him off as he goes out the door and go back to my seat.
"What really happened?" I tell him what really happened between us. "Son-"
"I'm not your son."
He sighs. "Whatever. The next time something like this happens, just tell me."
"I'm not a little kid that needs to be looked after. I'm fully capable of doing stuff myself."
"Right. You're dismissed."
I walk out into the hallway. "How'd it go ya little slut?"
I ignore him and go to my office.

"What did you want last night?"
"It's nothing and you obviously don't care so it's none of your business."
"F-Francis~"
"Are you fucking serious right now?"
"What?"
"You're seriously with that prick?"
"Excuse me?"
"Never mind. Forget I called you."
