Mad Love [lams](BEING EDITED)

Alexander, Are You Alright?

~John~

The next day I was watching the news.

32 people found dead. One being Elizabeth Schuyler, daughter of Philip Schuyler.
Alexander Hamilton as been caught.

"How can you still want to work there? You're putting yourself in danger" herc says.

"I don't know. I just know that I need to try to help him"

"Please just find another job"

"Im not giving up on Alex"

And with that I left. Alex you idiot, why'd you have go and do that?

I walk in his room and its oddly quiet. Alex was laying on his bed.

"Hey, time to answer some questions"

"Ok" he says.

"How'd you kill Eliza?"

"Stabbed"

"Why?"

"Escape." Weird. He never gives one word answers. Normally he responds with a joke or insult.

"How did you-"

"I'm sorry John" he cuts me off.

"What? Since when do you call me by first name?"

"Unimportant" he sat up on the bed. His hands started fidgeting, he looked askance.

"What's it called when you feel bad about something?" He asks.

"Guilt"

"Right... Is it weird that thats how I feel right now?"

"I mean, coming from you, yeah. Very weird. Creepy even"

"Well I feel guilty. Not because of what I did because that was fun- err well because that affected you"

"...is this your way of apologizing?"

"I have no idea"

"Just... Answer the questions."

"Really? I thought we were past the whole "mom interrogation" "

I hold back a laugh. "Dont get too attached, I still dont trust you"

"Fair point. I just want to get through this as quick as possible" he says.

"Ok. Family?"

"All dead except dad and maybe my brother. Dont worry I didnt do it"

"Why do you kill?"

"There you go! Now youre asking the right questions" he shouts.

"...really?"

"Well gee, would you like a gold star? Maybe a pat on the back?"

"Shut up and answer the question"

"Oooo someone trying to act tough"

I sigh in defeat. You really cant get through to him when he acts like a child.

"Hhh because its fun!"

"That cant be the only reason"

"Thank you captain obvious, youve been very helpful. You're services are no longer needed, please leave" he gives me a cold stare.

"What? But you didnt answer-"

"Leave. Please. I'm asking nicely"

"But-"

He opens the door and pshes me out.

"Leave me alone"

Thats new. And not normal.

"Alexander are you alright?"

Hed quiet for a moment. Considering how much he talks, I dont know if its a good or bad thing.

"Im fine"

He walks to the cafeteria by himself. Definetly not a good sign.

~Alex~

I go to the cafeteria and hug Philip.

"Alex? Whats going on?"

"What? Cant I give my favorite person a hug?"

"Youre not someone who gives hugs. Or even knew what a hug was"

"Well I uhh i just want to be a nice person"

"Didnt you just kill 32 people yesterday?"

"And it was fun!"

He raises an eyebrow. I hear footsteps nearby but think nothing of it.

"Ok ok youre right. You know, youre just like me"

"But I havent killed anyone-"

"You might at some point"

He punches my arm. "So whats wrong?"

"Many things, im insane" i joke.

"I mean whats wrong now?"

"I...dont know. Since laurens got here i feel...different"

"What do you mean?"

"Theres just something about him..."

"Sounds like someone is falling in love~"

"What is...love?" I'm suddenly confused.

"Hhhh how do I explain this so you understand...its when you really like someone or something"

"Like how youre my friend? Or how i like murder?"

"No. Think about it"

I realize what he means. I can feel my face getting warm.

"No! Theres no way!" I yell.

"Come on admit it, you like him"

I respond in an incoherent mumble. Thats an all time low for me.

"See? You like him"

I sigh. Maybe he's right.

"Theres something else. What is it?" He asks.

"Its uhh its nothing"

"Alex, you're being less social than usual. Whats wrong?"

"I need to go"

"Alex!"

I'm already running back to my room, ignoring Philip.

Hhhh its been a while
