Whats This Connection You Speak Of

2 Weeks Later

~Alex~

Considering the likelihood of me crashing my car if i even tried to drive with my broken leg, Jefferson had to give me a ride to work. I got the braces off though so that's one less embarrassing thing.

I grab my crutches from the backseat and start walking. Jefferson stops me when we get to the stairs though.

"You do realize you can't walk up stairs with crutches, right?" He says.

"Im a strong, independent man, i can walk up some stairs" i mutter. I attempt to do so and almost fall.

"Need some help, darlin'?"

"Ha ha, very funny. Fuck you and your southern accent." I trip him with one of my crutches before limping up the stairs.

I walk into my office, nearly falling on the way there. Unfortunately, Washington noticed.

"Alexander"

I cut him off, "look, i know what you're going to say, but I'm fine"

"Son, you-"

"Its just a broken leg. Ill live... I think. Ive never broken it before so..."

"Fine. But Jefferson will help you until you're healed" he says while leaving.

"Im a grown man! I can take care of myself!" I drop in my chair and start typing.

A Few Hours Later

~Angelica~

"We can all agree that he likes him at least a small amount, right?" I state.

"Yes, but you can't force love, Ang" eliza says.

"Its not forcing love, it's... Relationship support"

"I still dont think this plan will work..."

"Just trust me." I set the flowers and note on Hamilton's doorstep before we walk away. "If this works, which it will, Alex will think the flowers are from Jefferson"

"I'm a better matchmaker than you" she sighs. "And besides, theres a flaw in your plan"

"What?"

"That." She points towards a car that pulls up. Alex steps out with crutches as Jefferson steps out to help. "You forgot that alex currently cant drive. And hes barely capable of taking care of himself. Now who do you think would have to help him? Jefferson, obviously"

"Why do you have to be right?"

"Because im always right"

I laugh a little before we start walking home.

~Alex~

I pick up the flowers from in front of my house and read the note.

"Hey Jefferson... Is this from you?" I ask.

"No." He says.

"Weird. They're probably from John. Maybe. Speaking of" I take out my phone and text John.

HamilTONofCoffee: hey, want to hang out?

TurtleKing: sure. Bar?

HamilTONofCoffee: sure

I think that's the shortest conversation I've ever had. I immediately start walking when Jefferson stops me.

"Where ya going?" He asks.

"To see John"

"I could give you a ride-"

"I don't need a ride. I can walk." I eventually got to John after what felt like an hour. It was just like old times when we were dating.

"Ok John, you already know what I'm gonna ask. Your soulmate... Is he cute?"

He laughs a little. "Geez Alex, jealous much?"

"I'm not jealous, I just want to know! I got stuck with a guy i dont even like" I say. Some random guy next to me glares at us.

"You're definitely jealous. Maybe if you didn't break up with me you wouldn't be in this situation"

"Hey don't be like that. Here, take this as an apology." I hand him a beer.

We may have gotten drunk. Or at least i did. John had to walk me home after i got in a fight.

"Shoot, I think that guy punched out a tooth..." I say. "And i just got my braces off"

"Yeah well, maybe you'll think twice before calling someone a 'son of a shit' when you have a broken leg. Youre not exactly a tough guy when you cant walk properly" he sighs.

"I wasright though! And he had it coming"

"Sureee... Well, see ya"

He leaves as i walk in my house and pass out on the couch.
