Philidosia

Burr's Side

Rewind rewind rewind

Theodosia POV

Philip leaves my house and I sit on the couch for a while and ended up falling asleep. I wake up and realize it's already 3:00. I get up and make myself lunch and see my dad walking in. He looked really angry as he stomped up to his room. I was kind of sad that he didn't acknowledge me but he must still be upset about yesterday. I sit and eat my lunch in silence.

Aaron's POV

I am rummaging through my stuff and find the perfect pistol. I examine it the set it back down. I turn around and see Theodosia at the door looking sad.

"Father you have visitors" She says as she walks back down

I walk down there see Hercules and Lafeyette in my living room. I give myself a facepalm.
This can't be good.

"Oh hey Burr I thought Duels were dumb and Immature" Hercules says obviously angry

"This one is necessary" I say quietly

Theo's POV

I watch my Father and his friends argue over something and the only I can make out of it is the word duel. I walk over to them nervously and my father looks down at me.

"Theo will you be my second"

"SHES A GIRL BURR A GIRL SHE CAN'T BE BROUGHT INTO THIS" The Tall dude with the Bun screams

"YOU 2 WILL STAY OUT OF THIS" My father yells
They both storm out of the house as my father slams the door.

"Father you can't please I can't lose you" I say basically pleading

"Oh don't worry you won't" He says with a resting bitch face

"Please Theodosia"

Only Seconds can stop this I need to stop this

"Ok I'll agree to be your second"

"Thankyou" He says then He walks up the stairs

Aaron's POV

Theodosia is the only other option I got for me to be a second. Jefferson's and Madison probably hates me now Hercules and Lafeyette would choose Hamilton over me any day and Hamilton is obviously out. I sigh

"This man will not make an orphan of my daughter" I whisper quietly

Theo's POV

It's late at night and I need some fresh air. I walk out side and start strolling along the neighborhood. I see Philip sitting on a bench and he walks towards me but he looks angry.

"Um hey Philip" I say nervously

"Why are you out so late!?"

"I needed some fresh air"

He glares at me and grabs my hand and pulls me into some alley way

"I need to talk to you"

"Yes I know both of our fathers are dueling tomorrow" I say as I roll my eyes

"How do you know"

"Um my father talks to me" I say rolling my eyes

He sighed

"Let's wall and talk" He says noticing people staring at us.

It's silent for a while. I get nervous and just blurt something out.

"IM A SECOND"

He stops walking and looks down at me

"No your not"

"Yes I am!"

"Don't do it"

"Why my father told me to do it" I say while continuing to walk

"Why?!" He looks real annoyed and stops me again

"Cause last time you were near a duel you ended up in a coma"

"Pfft you should Be grateful if I weren't for me you'd be in a grave yard 6 feet under right now" I exclaim

He rolls his eyes

"I DON'T NEED YOU STICKING UP FOR ME"

"THEN I DON'T NEED YOU STICKING UP FOR ME"I yell

"Theodosia listen to me"He says trying to calm down

"NO MY FATHER HAS NO ONE ELSE"

He crosses his arms

"Pfft I wonder why" He says rolling his eyes

My blood started boiling

"WHY ARE YOU GOING TO SAY SOMETHING SMART LIKE YOUR DAD"

"YOU LEAVE MY DAD OUT OF THIS"

"YOUR DAD IS THE ONE WHO STARTED THIS MESS"

"YOUR DAD IS THE ONE WHO STARTED THIS MESS BY RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT"

"Funny you say that last time I checked YOU HELPED HIM YOU COULD'NT CONVINCE HIM TO VOTE FOR HIM"

"Oh yeah Theodosia cause I definitely didn't try" He says throwing his hands up

"Your dad is a scoundrel AN ORPHAN BASTARD IDIOT" I yell

He comes closer to me

"if your father comes anywhere near shooting that pistol towards my father he is going to end up in the ground right next to your mother" He spats. He instantly regrets it and looks shocked at himself. I slap him across the face and blood starts to come down from his lip but It doesn't look like it's from me.

He gives me and evil glare

"YOU BITCH" he says nearly crying

I run away crying until I stop near a tree and just stay there crying until I head home.

Philip's POV

I've done it I fucked up.

I fall to the ground crying with my hands in my head. I am a horrible person I deserve to die I deserve to be killed or shot in the arm and bleed out slowly. I keep sobbing and sobbing until I look up and see my Father holding a gas lamp.

"It's ok son don't be scared I promise I will never leave you" He says hugging me tightly

If only he knew the reason I was crying.

Rewind

I'm in my room with the door shut and hear my mom and Dad arguing. She's trying to convince him not to put me in this or not to do it at all. I Hear the door shut and watch my dad come in again.

"Sleeping on the couch?" I ask

"Yup"

I waited until he left to sneak out my window.
