Bad Things Happen

The Hospital!

A/N: I'm really sorry, but I'm feeling really angsty today, so be prepared. Warning: Pain, suffering, near death experience. I'm sorry to have to do this to.....

Monday. The day everyone hated the most. Monday. The day the school week started and the weekend ended. The only thing is Alexander, Lafayette, Eliza, and Laurens, were relieved that the weekend was over.

Alexander's headache finally wore off. He was a little upset that he missed the debate, but he knew he would have lost it for them if he went.

He went downstairs for breakfast. Washington had left early that morning and wasn't there to join them.

"Morning Alex, are you hungry?" Martha asked when he sat down.

"Just some cereal or something light." He still didn't really feel like eating.

"Bonjour mon ami, what are you planning on doing today?" Lafayette chuckled. Alexander had been grounded for the rest of the month, which was only like a week left, but it still sucked.

"Not going on a date with Eliza like I hoped." Alex pouted. "This is going to be the longest month of my life."

Washington said the boys were no longer allowed to go to college parties anymore while they were in high school, and Alex and Laf lost all video game privileges for lying. Alexander got the additional grounding for drinking as well. Laurens got off easy since he told the truth, and didn't know someone spiked his drink.

"Relax, it's only one more week, and two days." Martha teased.

Laurens came downstairs next. He still looked tired, but much better than he had looked yesterday. He kept holding his stomach for some reason.

After breakfast, Martha dropped them off at school, not trusting Alexander or Lafayette to drive just yet.

When they arrived, they jumped out and ran to their first classes.

Chemistry.

"Laurens? The other day, at the party." Eliza started. "I know a lot happended, and I..." She trailed off.

He looked up from his desk, waiting for her to respond.

"You said, you didn't have a driver's license?" She asked sadly.

"Yeah," He gave his usual one word answer. "I don't." He whispered.

"Well, if you want to learn how to drive, I'd be happy to teach you." She offered.

Laurens never got the chance to learn how to drive. None of his foster homes cared enough to teach him, none the less pay for him to get a license. He was lucky enough to have a permit.

Laurens looked up and smiled at her. "Sure." He gave another one word response.

He started to feel woozy, he assumed it was probably a side effect to the alcohol. He tried to relax and hoped it would go away.

Lunch.

Laurens made his way over to the table Alexander and Lafayette were at. He held his tray in one hand and grasped his stomach with the other.

"You ok mon amie?" Laf asked, being the first one to see him.

"I think so." He replied.

He sat down next to Peggy and she started to smile. She knew he liked her, his face lit up like a cherry tomato whenever he was around her. But she thought it was cute.

"So Eliza, I need to talk to you about something." Alexander started. "We need to reschedule our date Friday."

"Yeah, I already did. I knew you'd get caught." She giggled.
