• Still Waiting For It • Reader X Aaron Burr

Chapter 20: Red

"(Y/N).. Oh, my God. You're alive!"

    "Aaron!"

    I hugged him, tears streaming down my face. "What happened to us?"

    Footsteps rushed down the hall. Aaron drew his pistol and fired at the noise, a Brit dropped to the floor.

    "I can explain later. I promise. We need to get out of here right now."

    "Wait, I have to go back!"

    "Why on Earth would you want to go back?"

    I grew quiet. The cold reality sunk in. "Rose... She... Burr, I..."

    Burr looked down. Burr and Rose have always been close, he must've been devastated.

He tossed me one of his spare pistols. "We're gonna fight our way through. Okay, so you load your pistol by-"

I rolled my eyes and loaded my pistol.

"Wait, you know how to use that thing?"

I shrugged. "I spent a few years on the streets in France."

    Burr smiles. "Damn. (Y/N) Schuyler was in a gang?"

    I groan. "Burr, I wasn't in a gang."

    Eliza pops out of her hiding spot. "Wait, you were in a gang?"

    I sigh. It'll be a while before they drop this.

    We began making our way down the hall. My heart felt like it was trying to break out of my chest. Liz was jumping at every small noise the building made. I looked over at Aaron. He hid behind his wall, a shield, acting calm and collective. I could see straight through him. Deep down, he was just as scared as we were.

    "The cell is right here!" I looked into the barred room. Rose was laying on the ground. Her clothes were stained red.

    Burr dropped his gun along with his confident exterior. He slowly walked over to Rose and picked her up, shaking and sobbing out of pure grief. Without a word, we walked out of the facility. In times like this, words aren't enough to express emotion.

    Okay...

1. 4k views?! This is crazy and I can't thank you all enough! I'm so happy that 4,000 people have decided to read my cringe Hamilton fanfics 😂

2. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been busy for the entirety of July with vacations and such. I am so sorry, I'll try to update more frequently but in a few days, I'll be going to a camp that doesn't allow phones for two weeks. I'll respond to everything when I get back!
