Philip's POV

Burr came back with the doctor.

"Theo you will be here for 6 days I can stay here I can just not run for President and give it to Jefferson I can-"

She held her finger up before he could say anymore.

"Pa is fine go do it run for president I'll be fine"

Burr looked at me and put his hand on my shoulder.

"Stay with her no matter what you can cast your vote in but you must promise to come back to her"

"Ok I promise"

We watched as he left reluctantly.

"Good luck Pa" Theo waved

I sat on the edge of her bed and watched as she brushed her hair.

"Philip you can go home you don't have to sleep in that uncomfortable chair all week"

I raised my eyebrow and gave her an evil grin

"I know"

I walked towards her bed and make room and lay next to her.

"That's better" I said with a smile

She gave me a frown

"Don't worry there isn't enough room for us to do anything so it is still innocent" I reassure her

"I can't be doing much so I'm afraid I can only lay down and sit up the only time I can get up is when I have to use the bathroom" She tells me

She sits up and hands me her brush.
"Can you brush my hair?" She ask

I nod and She scoots up and I get behind her and start to brush through her dark brown curls. She closes her eyes and starts humming a tune. I brush through her long wavy curls that reach down to the middle of her back.

"Can you give me a braid?" She ask

I freeze. I don't even really know what a braid is.

"Um hehe I don't-"

"Don't worry I'll teach you" She says
She turns around and takes half of her hair to her side and splits it up into 3 sections. She then starts alternating them and switching them around with each other until the former a braid. She looked at me and laughed.

"You look lost still you can just put my hair in a pony tail"

Good something I was familiar with. She turned back around and I threw her hair into a low ponytail.

"Your dad is running for president that's pretty cool" I say

"Yeah if he wins we are going to be rich"

"Yeah but the second place person becomes Vice President so you will still be rich but not just as rich"

She looked at me sadly

"Y'all this is really important to my dad though I hope he wins" She says with a hope of look in her eyes

6 days later

I'm on my way to the voting booths. I place my vote in and start to walk away while I see Burr talking to people and smiling and laughing.

He sees me and waves at me and rushes over to me.

"Aaron Burr hey" I wave

"Hey today's going to be a great day Hamilton it's the last day of votes" He says while waving at everyone
