Philip sat in his room angry at his father but at the same time he wasn't. He sighed then had walked out of his room. He looked over at his parents room since he had smelled smoke. He felt his heart sink as he heard his mother yelling at his father. He slowly walked over to the room and had pecked over to see his parents,, his mother was burning something.. his father balling his eyes out. He whimpered then had ran out of the room. He ran out of the house then started to take small deep breaths. He sighed slightly as he had looked around trying to see if he could fine the man who was talking shit about his father,, which he went by the name of George Eacker. He grumbled as he walked around then he saw to girls. He sighed and let a smirk grow on his face as he had walked over to the two girls. "Ladies,, I'm looking for a mister George Eacker,, made a speak last week our 4th July He disparaged my father's legacy in front of a crowd,, I can't have that I'm making my father proud ! " one of the girls raised an eyebrow. "I saw him just up Broadway a couple of blocks ,, he was going to see a play " she said with smile on her face. "Well I'll go visit his box - " Philip was cut off "god you're a fox ~ " the other girl had said. Philip chuckled playfully and kept that smirk on his face. " and y'all look pretty good in ya flocks,, how about when I get back we all strip down to our socks ? ~ " Philip smirked then had walked off,, he hated doing stuff like that at times but he just continued his walk to go see no good Eacker. He had snuck in and went over to Eacker. "George - " Philip whispered. "Shh " "George ! " "hush! I'm trying to watch the show ! " Eacker has grumbled and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Ya should've watched your mouth before you talked about my father though ! " Philip yelled. "I didn't say anything that wasn't true Your father's a scoundrel, and so, it seems, are you " Eacker said with a small shrug as he crossed his arms. "It's like that ? " Philip said putting one of his shoes in front of the other. "Yeah,, I don't fool around,, I'm not one of your little schoolboy friends " Eacker grumbled. "Well,, I'll see you on the duelling ground,, unless you wanna step outside and go now ? " he grumbled. Eacker pinched the bridge of his nose. "I know where to find now piss off I'm watching my show now ! " Eacker rolled his eyes then had sat back down. Philip grumbled and snuck back out of the place. He ran home,, still being able to smell the smoke in the air in the house. He sighed slightly then went over to his fathers office then bust the door up. "pOpS,, if you'd only heard the shit he said about you,, doubt you would have let it slide and I was not about to " Philip sighed. "Slow down ! " Alexander said turning around and looked over at Philip.
"I came to ask you for advice, this is my very first duel They don't exactly cover this subject in boarding school " Did your friends attempt to negotiate a peace? " "He refused to apologize, we had to let the peace talks cease " " Where is this happening? " "Across the river, in Jersey Everything is legal in New Jersey! " Philip and Alexander had said together and looked off to the side. "Alright, so this is what you're gonna do Stand there like a man until Eacker is in front of you When the time comes, fire your weapon in the air This will put an end to the whole affair " Alexander stated with a soft smile on his face. " But what if he decides to shoot? Then I'm a goner ..? " Philip had asked a bit paranoid now " No, he'll follow suit if he's truly a man of honour To take someone's life, that is something you can't shake Philip, your mother can't take another heartbreak " Alexander sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. " Father! " Philip yelled it had almost sounded like gibberish though. " Promise me,,
You don't want this young man's blood on your conscience " Alexander said gripping onto his pant leg.  " Okay, I promise... " Philip said quietly.  "Come back home when you're done
Take my guns, be smart, make me proud, son " Alexander said with a small smile on his face with a soft chuckle as he passed the gun. Philip nodded then took the gun. He hugged Alexander then had sat down at his desk then grabbed paper, a quill then a bottle of ink. 'To my Angle Theodosia Burr Jr,, this is yours truly Philip Hamilton,, I might not live to see you grow older then me and me being able to be taller then me - I love you Theodosia with all my heart.. ,, your love Philip Hamilton. '
He sighed then had heard a knock at the door. He walked down the stairs then had opened the front door. A letter had been handed to him which he saw it was for his mother so he didn't open it. He pasted the letter that he had just wrote. "May you take this to the Burr household ? " he asked which the postman had nodded. He closed the door then had walked back upstairs. He put the letter on the nightstand seeing his mother was asleep.  He sighed then had walked out of the room.
