Philidosia

The doctors visit

Philip's POV

We enter the Hospital with everybody staring at us.

"Mr. President is here?"

"I thought he lived in Virgina"

I grabbed his arm and pulled him into the corner

"Hey you don't have to wait on us and plus I need to get Theodosia checked out for something"

"What her mouth?" He says smirking

"hey watch it!" I say getting mad

"Oh I forgot your Hamilton's son"

"What is that supposed to mean!?"

"Oh nothing bye" He says strolling out the hospital

"What was that all about" Theo says walking toward me

"Oh nothing"

The doctor gives me and Bandage let's us rest on the beds for a couple of hours. I end up staying awake but Theodosia falls asleep. I look over and see My parents bursting through the door along with Mr.Burr.

"PHILP" Mom yells giving me a tight hug

"I'm so glad you are safe" Pa says stroking my hair

Mr.Burr wakes Theodosia up and she jumps up and hugs him tightly.

"Oh Theodosia I was so scared about you please don't ever scare me like that again!" He says nearly sobbing

The doctor comes in and smiles

"I'm glad to see you all reuniting happily" She says then she walks over and whispers something into Burr's ear he nods and takes a seat

"Mr. and Ms. Hamilton I am going to have to ask you 3 to leave we have a separate appointment with Theodosia Burr"

She waves at me.

"Bye I'll see you later Theodosia"

We walk out and jump into the carriage.

"What's wrong with Theodosia?" Pa asks

I didn't know whether to lie or not because I felt it wasn't his business about her Flashbacks. But My father did have way more Flashbacks than anyone I have ever known.

"Um well she keeps having flashbacks of that morning she got shot. Every time she would hear a gunshot or see a pistol she would freak out. I don't really know what it's like though" I explain

"I do" He sighs

"Is it painful?"

"The memory?... yes some memories can be more brutal than others it is something you'll never forget and it's hard to control and it sucks but the doctors could help her with meds and stuff it'll numb the memory a little bit it'll never disappear" He explains

I feel a sudden wave of guilt come over me.

It's all your fault Philip! If you would've never dueled Theodosia would've never have been shot.

I decide to fall asleep on the carriage even though our house was only 15 minutes away.

Theo's POV

"So Ms.Burr when we're you shot?"

I hated the word shot. It could mean so many bad things. One thing always led to another. Gun. Shoot. Shot. Dead. I struggle to remember when Exactly but I remember it was when I was 19 around maybe fall.

"Um 3 years ago ma'am"

"And do you get these Flashbacks often?"

"No ma'am"
