2. ~{Thomas in the bathroom}~

{Thomas POV}
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! 
"Agh! fuck!" I said to myself. I woke up feeling like shit. I have a stupid migraine and a weight of sleep is carrying around on my shoulders like bricks. I look to see my clock saying 7:00. Great. I only got three hours of sleep. Ever since I got out of high school, I started getting less sleep every day and every year. I went to doctors to help me, even therapist's. They told me I had insomnia. The mythic bitch of my life. 

I started to get up and look for my police uniform around in my dark messy room. Honestly, if I had the time to clean it, I would. But when your a police officer, you barely have anytime. After I got dressed and ready, I headed out the door to Starbucks. As I walked by the shops and tiny person bumped into me. I heard them curse and mumble to themselves and looked at me.

"I am so sorry officer- Thomas?!?!" The small boy said looking at me in shock. I looked down at the human and my eyes widen. His long dark brown hair was in a bun, his violet blue eyes staring back at me. I couldn't believe it. It was Alexander fucking Hamilton. 

"Alex!?" I said. We both didn't get along in high school nor college. We were always at each others throats at times. This was a surprise.

"Jesus Christ Jefferson, its been too long." He softly smiled. I smiled back and held out my hand for a proper hand shake. "It has Hamilton, it has." He shook my hand and was still smiling at me. By now I thought we would be arguing or something, but he is actually being civil, and peaceful really. I kinda like this.

"How have you been Jefferson?" 

"Oh I have been better, how about you?" I asked. He giggled and started to tell me something but I didn't hear. I started to get lost in his blue eyes. What...Me...getting lost...in Hamilton's eyes!?!? Oh God please don't tell me I'm starting to like Hamilton.

"Well that's good Hamilton. So where you heading?" I asked. Why was I so curious about how he was doing? Oh God my feelings are getting messed up.

"Oh I was just heading my way to work. That's all." He said as his hair gets in his eyes. I blushed a little. "Well that's great Hamilton, well I won't keep you from your job. Have a good day Hamilton." I said. We said our good byes and I went back walking to Starbucks. Even though our conversation was short, it felt good to talking to Hamilton. I didn't feel that hate I had for him at all...I guess my sins have been washed away.

{Time skip}

Ugh. Paper work. I rarely do paper work and let me tell you. I was a bitch to do. I was sitting on my desk signing and filing the stack of paper on my desk until I heard a knock.

"Come in." I said as I was putting a file up. "Hey Thomas." I recognize that quiet, calm and sick voice anywhere.

"Hey JemJem, what's up?" I looked down at the one and only, James Madison. He had his comfortable coat on and scarf. He looked better than usual. Not his sick self at all. That's a change. 

"Oh nothing. I just wanted to ask If you wanted to come with me to a party tonight?" He said with begging eyes. I hesitated. 

"Jem, you know I'm not really a party person anymore."

"I know I know, but please! Its gonna be the biggest party of the fall!" He begged and started to cling to my arm and gave me puppy eyes. God I always fall for the puppy eyes.

"Okay, fine fine. What time do you want me to pick you up?" I asked crossing my arms as he let go. His eyes started to light up. He looked like a child on Christmas mornin'. 

"At 7 o'clock sharp! Be ready and be there!" He said smiling as he dashed out of my office. I sighed and chuckled to myself. I was about to get back to work but my partner came in. 

"Okay, what did you do to make James so happy that he was running back to his desk and make him ramble on and on about a party?" John Lauren's said with a amusing tone. I laughed and pat his back. "I will tell you in all in good time my friend." I said smiling. He laugh.

"You asked him out to the party did you?"

"No, quite the opposite really, and plus we are going as best friends." I said while rolling my eyes. Why does everyone think I like James? We have been best friends since we were kids. I don't love him in that way and he doesn't love me in that way either. Does he?

"Well okay whatever you say, but I will see you later at the party okay?" He told me as he left. I nodded and went back to the eternal hell of filing papers.

{Another time skip}

I was outside waiting for James. What could he be doing that is taking him so long? I wait for another minute and see him walking to my car and getting on the passenger side. 

"Ready to party Tom?" He said as he side smiled. 

"Ready as I'll ever be." I said and I started driving to the party. After some time we got there and the house was huge. I found out that "King" George was throwing the party. I knew he was very rich and I also knew him back in high school and also college. All I could say is that he was a whiny brat. 

"Thomas? Are you alright?" Jem asked. I only nodded and parked on the side and we both got out and started walking to the house. When we got in, the party was wild. Girls dancing and grinding on every guy or girl they see. Guys doing beer chugging and some playing beer pong. I heard music blasting through the house and was a little too loud for my taste. I could smell cigarette smoke coming from all directions and also smell a hint of weed too. Jesus, this place was a zoo. 

"Jemmy! Thomas! You made it!" I heard Charles Lee shout at us over the blasting music. He went over to James side and hugged him and patted my back. "Have a beer! Or two and both of you just relax! Have fun!" He said smiling like a goof. He was trying to impress James, and I could see that. It made me happy that James at least had an admirer. As Charles and James keep talking on and on about stuff. I started feeling out of place. I told James I was going to the bathroom but he didn't pay any attention to me. I quickly slipped through the crowd and found my way to the bathroom. I locked on the door and sighed. I sat in the bath tub by myself. I was thinking and decided to talk to myself

"I am hanging in the bathroom, at the biggest party of the fall...I could stay right here or disappear and nobody would have notice at all.." I started to think how James didn't notice me as I left him with Charles. 

"Im the creeper in your bathroom 'cause my buddy kinda left me alone. But I rather fake pee, than stand awkwardly, or pretend to check a text on my phone." I said out loud as I didn't want to go to this party in the first place, but I did it for Jem. 

"Everything felt fine when I was half of a pair. Now through no fault of mine...there's no other half there." I said thinking about the times when I went to college parties and I would keep Jem company in the bathroom as everyone partied. 

I laughed at the thought and sighed. "I'm just Thomas in the bathroom, Thomas in the bathroom at a party. No you can't come in!" I said getting up from the tub and sitting on the edge. 

"I'm waiting it out 'til it's time to leave, and picking at grout as I softly grieve! I'm just Thomas who you don't know, Thomas flyin' solo, Thomas in the bathroom by himself!" I said  getting up and paced around the room still talking to myself.

"I am hiding, but he's out there, just ignoring all our history. Memories get erased, and I'll get replaced, with a newer, cooler version of me." Thinking about Lee and how he is trying to swoon James off his feet. I hear a girl scream out lyrics and I just shook my head.

"And I hear a drunk girl sing along to Whitney through the door.. "
"I wanna dance with somebody!" She yelled again and felt like it was Peggy doing the yelling. 

"And my feelings sink, 'cause it makes me think: now there's no one to make fun of drunk girls with anymore!" I said as I feel myself drowning in my emotions and started to feel tears in my eyes. I could feel depression take over me. Its been awhile since I had felt this sadness...whats going on?

"Now it's just Thomas in the bathroom, Thomas in the bathroom at a party. I half regret the beers." I said remembering taking a couple beers since I was here.

"Thomas in the bathroom, Thomas in the bathroom at a party. As I choke back the tears." I said as I started to feel tears running down my face like a never ending fountain. 

"I'll wait as long as I need, until my face is dry, or I'll just blame it on weed, or something in my eye!" I said as I wipe my tears with anger from my face. I hated it when I cried.

"I'm just Thomas who you don't know, Thomas flyin' solo. Thomas in the bathroom by himself!" I said as I banged my hand on the counter of the sink.

Knock, Knock, Knock, Knock. 
Crap. They're gonna start to shout soon. 
Knock, Knock, Knock, Knock. 
"Oh hell yeah, I'll be out soon." I said so the person would hear and stop knocking.
Knock, Knock, Knock, Knock. 
Damn its sucks that he left me here alone...
Knock, Knock, Knock, Knock. 
Here in this blowing up battle zone.
Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang.
I feel the pressure building up!
BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG!
My big mistake for showing up!
Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!
I pour some water on my face, and I am in a better place. I go to open up the door and open to see Alex and Lauren's...Why is he here?

*OOF, CLIFHANGER~*
