As Thin As Paper: Jamilton (Hamilton x Jefferson)

Cannons and Ships

Hamilton's POV:

Writing has always been my strong suit, but not love letter writing. Eliza thinks that they're great but it's hard when your writing it for someone else to pass onto another person. Especially when it's your best friend.
"Are you done yet?" Laurens asked... again. he asks this question quite frequently when I'm writing.
"I'm almost done, just gimme a sec." I say unimpressed. John taps his foot on the ground repeatedly & aggressively. I give him the note and he runs off. I wipe the sweat off my forehead as I get up from my chair.

I hate being on boats. I barely get to do anything on here anyways. Washington runs across the boat to tell his men what to do with his sword ready in case needed. I rub my eyes and look around to see if anyone needs help. I wish I would've known what was about to happen.

Before I know it, a cannon fires from a British ship and splits one of our ships in half. The ship is coincidentally the one I, Laurens, Lafayette, Mulligan, Burr and Washington are all on. The boat splits in half splitting me away from everyone except Lafayette.
"What do we do?!" Lafayette exclaims. He sounds scared, I think we all are to be fair. I run towards the side of the boat with Lafayette.
"We jump and we swim. It's the only way." I say.
"Are you insane?!?" Lafayette yells in a thick french accent. I stare at the other side as another cannon fires and my side of the boat. Lafayette and I are stuck in a small corner of the boat.
"If we don't go now, we won't make it out alive." I exclaim. "C'mon!" Lafayette grabs my hand as we run off the side of the ship, jumping off as another cannon fires and explodes the remaining quarter of the boat. Laurens, Mulligan, Burr and Washington all jump off into the water as well. We all swim towards shore (which was quite far away).

Once we get to the shoreline, we make sure everyone is okay. Everyone seems fine, but Lafayette looks traumatized as all hell. I stand up and look to see one of the other boats welcoming us aboard. I let everyone get on first and then I jump on last. We all sail back to New York Harbor. I sit in the ship, wondering when this will end.
