If I could tell her

And Peggy

Peggy's P.O.V

I was there at home enjoying being on my sisters shadow, notice the sarcasm, my father was home today giving love to Angelica and Eliza and being uptight with me like always.

"Margarita!!!!, go do something useful, did you finish all your work for the day" and by work he meant checking the others work around the house because apparently, I'm not good enough to do anything else.

"Yes dad, everything is done" while O was here my sisters were having a french lesson, so they get better while I'm in the corner forgotten.
"So fix your hair it's a mess, did you ever saw Elizabeth with a hair like that?"

"No" I said with my head dawn.
Going upstairs I remembered the ball that happened a month ago, and a flash came to my mind, Marie du Lafayette, she was so nice, I think I have to write her maybe she'll see me as I am.
But what if I am a burden, receiving a letter from Peggy Schuyler wouldn't be so exiting as reviving a letter from Angelica Schuyler. I'm nothing more than just "And Peggy".

" Peggy, are you there?" That was my older sister Angelica, she is the only one who tries to understand what I'm going trough, but she'll never completely understand what it feels. "Yep!" I say trying to sound confident.

"Oh dear, what did he said to you this time"

"What makes you think he said something?" I respond not daring to meet her eyes.

" Peggy, you know we love you, all of us just the way you are, you are beautiful, intelligent, funny, you are perfect just the way you are, and if he can't see this it's because he is the things he calls you." She always knows what to say to cheer me up.

" You know what, tomorrow we are going for a walk downtown, just you, me and Eliza. What do you think." " sure".

As my sister walks away, I sit on the ground too tired to do something productive as my father would say.

Time skip

"Angie do you think this is a good idea, what if dad finds out..."

"Pegs don't worry he is such a softy, he wouldn't even be mad at us for being here." Said Eliza, I almost replied -he wouldn't be mad at you- but I just decided to say
" daddy said to be back by sundown" noticing my position Angie quickly said "Daddy doesn't need to know."

After that some Aaron Burr tried to flirt with Angelica but like always she roasted him.
I wasn't really paying attention but something, or rather someone caught my eye, it was the french girl from the ball, it can't be. She was wearing a soldiers uniform, like a man.

I got all the courage I had and went to her direction.
"Peggy Schuyler, and you are Marie du Lafayette, am I right?"
"How do you know my name?"
