Hamilton is Mine

Chapter 12: The Truth Comes Out

A/N: I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a while I've been so busy that I completely forgot about my stories. I promise I'll try to write more. Anyway, enjoy the chapter.
Jefferson and Madison hate me for some reason, and they always make fun of my friends for it. Madison was one of my friends while Jefferson was studying abroad in France. But now he's just as bad as Jefferson. "Oh look. The foreign nerd and his idiot friends." "What do you want Jefferson?" I was hammered so I wasn't able to talk well. "Oh my god you're so drunk Hamilton. Better not be late for Washington's class." He laughs and elbows James to make him laugh and he laughs. "Alright Thomas.I've had enough." I swung at him. God what was in those shots. I hit him in the nose. "You little orphan bitch!" He swung at me. He missed! Haha!  I swung again hitting him over and over. John pulled me away. "Alex that's enough!!" I stood with him. "Guys. Let's go." I start walking away. Suddenly Thomas got up and he hit John in the back of the head "Fag!" I turned and looked and Thomas angrier than I've ever been before. "Hercules did you know Laf was trans???" Herc looked at Laf shocked and confused and Laf looked like he was about to cry. "Hercules, baby I can explain." Herc walked away which made me even more angry. I stepped towards Thomas. "And you, Alex did you really think I wouldn't learn your little secret?" "Don't say it jackass." Lafayette looked at us confused and stepped forward. "What secret?"  "Your dear friend Alex was abandoned by his father and his mother cheated on her husband with his father. His mother was a whore." I clocked him. As hard as I could. I felt the bones in my hand crack against his jaw. I heard the snap of his jaw. I helped John up and we walked away. "Alex why didn't you tell us that?" John looked at me with pity. "I didn't need pitied by you or anyone." "Alex we've known each other since you moved to America and started dating Burr. I don't even know what happened between you two." I shuddered at that thought. For as long as I live I never want John to know Burr shot me in the ribs. "Hercules please talk to me." Lafayette had been trying to get Hercules to talk to him since we left. I sighed. "Hercules this shouldn't matter to you. You still love Lafayette don't you?" He nodded slowly and slowly reached for Lafayette's hand. "Why didn't you tell me baby?" He looked at Laf hurt and scared. "I was scared you would leave." Laf looked away shamefully and Herc laughed grabbing his chin. "Baby I am not going anywhere. I'm here forever." He kissed his forehead and started to walk with him. "So, Alex. What happened with you and Aaron?" I stopped, looking at John shocked. "John you know I don't talk about that stop asking." I was getting defensive. I needed him to know I wasn't going to talk about it. "But Alex, I need to know what I'm protecting you from." "No you don't John! You don't need to know!" He flinched as I yelled at him. I took a step back feeling awful. "Baby, I'm sorry." I looked away ashamed. "Aaron shot me in the ribs." Everyone looked at me shocked. "What?!" John and Herc asked at the same time getting angry. "Yeah. Two years ago before I met John at the cafe I was shot by Burr in the ribs because I was trying to break up with him. My cousin found out and saved me." "You have a cousin??" "Had. He killed himself last spring." Everyone looked at me even more shocked. "Oh Alex honey, I'm so sorry" John hugged me tight kissing my head and I started to cry. I've never been one to cry in front of people but I couldn't help it. It felt amazing to talk about this stuff. I've bottled it in for years and I'm finally talking about it. I stood there with all my friends holding onto me. I felt safe and calm and okay. I feel like this is going to be a good summer break. Boy was I wrong.
