Hamilton Ships

Laurens and Hamilton Pt 2

     It's been a good bit of time since I died... As a ghost, I've been with Alex most of the time... He's not the same... He's become distant and cold... I wish I was alive, there to hug him and tell him how much he means to me... But I'm not, and it sucks... 

     Alex admitted he cheated on Eliza with some Maria girl... He wrote like a 95 page thing about what happened... Eliza tore and burnt every letter Alex had sent or given her... Right now, Alex was talking to Philip because Philip was going into a duel... 

     I had a bad feeling about this duel... Philip has never been in a duel or seen one, and the boy he's dueling with, isnt the nicest person, so something will happen... I decided to go with Philip to the duel... 

~~The Dueling Grounds~~

     The duel was about to start... They started the countdown... I knew something bad was gonna happen I just wasnt sure what... But I quickly did... George turned and fired before Philip could even lift his gun up...

     In that moment, everything was like in slow motion... If I was alive, I would have stopped teh bullet, but the bullet just went through me, and Philip got hit with it... And like that, time was back to normal... George just walked away while the medic and Philips second ran over to him... 

     He was rushed away and I stayed with him... While at the doctors office, I heard Alex run in, and talk to the doctor... 

"Where is my son" he said quickly

"Mr. Hamilton, come in... They brought him in an half an hour ago... He lost a lot of blood on the way over" the doctor said

"Is he alive??" Alex said

"Yes... But you have to understand... The bullet entered just above his hip, and lodged in his right arm..." the doctor said

     I could see the panic set in on Alex's face... I understood why, he loved Philip so much... Philip was a lot like me, due to me being around him a lot when he was younger... Alex was pretty much losing Philip the same way he lost me... 

"Can I seem him please?" Alex said, desprate to see his son

"I'm doing ev'rything I can, but the wound was already infected when he arrived..." the doctor said sadly... 

     They finally let Alex go back to where Philip was... Eliza ran in not long after Alex was let back...

"Is he breathing, is he going to survive this? Who did this, Alexander, did you know?" she said quickly...

"Un deux trois quatre cinq six sept huit neuf" Eliza and Philip said together... 

"Un deux trois quatre cinq six sept (Un deux trois...) huit neuf sept huit neuf— sept huit..." Eliza and Philip started, but only Eliza finished... 

     Eliza screamed and started crying a lot... I could see the exact moment that Alex broke... He was crying, but looked emotionless... Poor poor Alex... 

~~3 Years Later~~

     It's been 3 years since Philip died... Alex started overworking himself, just to keep himself busy so he wouldnt break down while thinking about everyone he's lost... I'm no longer alone... Philip and Washington are here with me... 

     I was talking to them not really listening to what was happening with Alex, until I heard the word duel... When he said that, me, Washington, and Philip all froze and looked at him and Burr... Oh god... You've got to be kidding me... 

     One of those two is gonna die... I may not be very fond of Burr, but him and Alex are too young to die... I could tell Washington and Philip were worried... 

~~The Next Morning~~

     Alex got up a good bit before the sun rose... He talked to Eliza for a few minutes then set off to the dueling grounds... I was shocked to see it was the same place where Philip died... Oh god... 

     Alex had on his glasses, which he now needed due to aging... He was examining his gun and Burr had an unreadable expression on his face, while looking at Alex... They started the countdown and turned...

     Alex pointed his gun up as Burr shot at him... Just like when Philip died, it was like time froze... Philip screamed slightly and hid his face in my chest... The bullet hit Alex right between his ribs, and he collapsed... 

     Burr tried to go to him, but the doctore ushered him away... Alex was rowed back over the Hudson and taken to the doctors place... Angelica and Eliza arrived quickly... They both held his hands while talking to him... 

     They were trying to convince themselves and Alex that he would be fine, and wouldnt die... Alex knew better than that and you could tell by the doctors face that he knew Alex probably wouldnt survive either... 

     I was right... After a few minutes, Alex's breathing slowed, until he stopped breathing completly... Eliza screamed and broke down... Philip started crying and asking where his dad was, it hurt cuz I couldnt answer Philip...

     I was comforting Philip, and jumped slightly, when I felt someone tap me on the shoulder... Philip and I turned around, and there he was, my Alex... Philip jumped on him, hugging him, and crying slightly, happy to see him...

     After hugging Alex for a bit, Philip moved away, smiling happily... I looked at Alex, and smiled... We both had tears in our eyes...

"My dearest, Alex" I said then I hugged him tightly

     I leaned down to his height and kissed him passionatly... I finally had my Alex back, he finally had me back, and theres no way I'm leaving him again... We would be a family, like we really wanted... 

     Me, Alex, Philip, and Washington, stuck together, and made our own family... As we met our friends, Lafayette and Hercules, we added them to the family, and had one big family... We were gonna stick together forever, in heaven... 

     I was thankful to have my Alex back and my friends... We knew this wouldnt be the end... We had already been informed of another chance at life... And we swore to each other we could find each other again, and that me and Alex would reunite... 

"I love you, goodbye my love" I said when it was time

"Goodbye dear, I'll see you on the other side..." he said

     At that, there was a bright flash... I no longer felt Alex in my arms... Which saddned me, but we would find each other, I knew it... I grew up from being an infant again, and set off to find my love... 

I totally didn't cry while writing this chapter XD
