I'm Supposed To Hate You (Philip Hamilton x OC, Modern au)

Thanks

This is absolutely not going to be historically accurate but like most of this book isn't so you probably knew that. Y'all ready for tea? Btw this is the same day as the last chapter.

PHILIP POV

"So how was school guys?" Ma asked while we ate dinner.

"Well Mary passed out in class today. I'm worried about her." Angie said while she played with her food.

"Sweetie-" My mom started but without thinking I cut her off.

"Mary, like Mary Jefferson?"

"Yeah? Why?" Angie answered.

"Ma may I be excused?" I asked while tons of thoughts filled my head.

"Sure Pip, but what's wrong?" Mom replied.

"Oh, I'm just going somewhere... I'll text you ok" I smiled, grabbed shoes and ran outside.

I have to get to Ella. If something happened to Mary, Ella is going to be a mess.

I rang the doorbell and a maid answered it.

"Hello, Welcome to the Jefferson house, how may I be of service?" Said a girl that looked slightly younger than me.

"Are Ella and Mary home?" I asked, still breathing heavy from running.

"Mr. Jefferson and Mary are not home right now but Ella is" She smiled. "And you are?"

"Philip Hamilton"

"Oh! Philip! I should've recognized you, come in"

"And what's your name?" I asked the girl.

"My apologies, my name is Charlotte, but the Jefferson girls call me Lottie. I can take you to Ella if you'd like"

"Yes please, and thank you Charlotte"

Charlotte led me to a room and said "Ella should be in there, if you need anything else come find me"

"Thank you"

I knocked on the door and no one answered so I opened it. I saw Ella on her bed, crying into a pillow while she hugged it.

"Ella?"

Ella looked up her eyes were red and puffy from crying. "Philip?" She sounded surprised.

I sat down next to her and wrapped my arm around her. "Hey what's wrong?"

She just dissolved into my arms and started sobbing.

"What Happened? Does this have to do with Mary?"

"M-Mary has... cancer" Ella then went back to sobbing in my chest.

I just held her closer to me because I didn't know what to do.

"Mary's strong, she'll get through this" I said still holding Ella.

"You don't understand... That's how my mother died"

Oh shit

I don't know how to comfort her now... She's seen the bad side of it.

"But Medicare is different now..." I tried but I couldn't think of anything "Mary will be ok..."

She cried a little more than said, "Pip, I'm scared for her"

Pip? She's never called me Pip. Shit why was that cute? Snap out of it Philip she's Ella Jefferson for crying out loud.

I lifted her chin and looked in her eyes, "But you have to stay strong, for Mary"

"Oh my goodness" she whispered.
