Alex POV
I'm not vomiting anymore and my stomach isn't sore. My head still sore and my arms still hurt but I'm getting better. I'm not getting discharged for another day or two and I wish I was dead for that but at the same time, I'm glad I'm not.

"Hey, how're you holding up?" John asks walking into my room, I sigh, "This is so much worse then a hangover." I say and he laughs. He sits down next to me and takes my hand and kisses it. "You're looking better." he says. I sigh again and look back up at the heart monitor.

I cover my eyes with my free hand and groan. "Is it too loud?" he asks, "No, I'm just being a baby." I say dropping my hand next to me. He squeezes my other hand, "You're not being a baby! A lot of people don't like that noise."

I close my eyes, "Is there a reason you don't like it?" he asks, I look at him. I turn onto my side so I'm facing him. "When I was 12 my mother and I were sick. Ironically, it was Yellow Fever." I say, "I managed to recover before hitting the toxic stage but my mom wasn't so lucky. I remember her holding me close to her as the heart monitor flatlined."

"Oh my God. Alexander..." I put my other hand on his, "It's a noise I really hate hearing because it reminds me of her. The same with hospitals, I hate them because nothing good comes out of having to be in one."

He kisses my forehead, "You're so messed up." he says bluntly and I laugh. "Yeah I suppose."

The door opens and Washington, Martha and Bella walk inside, "Alexander!" Bella yells running up to me, she hugs me tightly and not gonna lie, she's really strong. "Oh! Hi Bella." I say slightly in pain.

"Bella be careful he's probably still in a lot of pain." Martha says sitting down on the other side of the bed, "No, I'm fine. It's just my arms... And my back." I say lying down again. "The doctors say you're lucky to be alive. You're so stubborn your temperature went to 106 and you still refused to go to the hospital."

Bella looks confused, "Is 106 bad?" she asked, "Well, 106 is five away from death so, yes." John says and I roll my eyes. "So, do you know when you're getting discharged?" John asked and I shook my head, "Won't be today though." Bella jumps onto the bed and I sit up so she can sit next to me.

"Sucks too because exams are in two weeks and-" "Don't even say it!" Washington says cutting me off. "Say what?" I ask, "You are 17, you're in your final year of collage and you're top of your class! You know work that hasn't been set out and finish assignments weeks before they need to be handed in. You have a GPA of 4.0 and are probably gonna be valedictorian! It's March!" Washington says.

"What's that mean?" Bella asks, "It means your brother is a genius." Martha says and I cover my face in embarrassment. "I am not a genius, I just work hard." I say and John laughs, "My boyfriend's a genius." he says kissing me on the cheek and I lightly punch his arm.

"Alright what are you all doing here anyways?" I ask, "We're here to see you silly." Bella says. I look at Martha and Washington and they nod. "Oh. Well now I feel like an idiot." I say leaning my head against the wall. "A genius." I say and laugh. "A genius." John replies.

~time skip~

They left after about an hour and it was just me and John now. He sat down on the bed next to me and pulled me into a side hug. "I can't wait for you to be out of here." John says looking into my eyes, "Why?" I ask smirking.

He smirks too, "You know why." he says and kisses me on the nose gently, he moves to my lips, "Nuh!" I yell, "What?" he asks confused. "I'm sick!" I yell, "It's not contagious! Come on, kiss me!" he says trying to get me to stop moving. "Nooo, gross." I moan and he sighs pulling me into his chest.

He kisses my head instead and rubs my back. I flinch a little but it actually feels sort of nice so I let him continue. "Is this okay?" he asked and I nodded, "Yeah.. It feels nice." I say putting my hand on his chest. "If you like, you can take off your shirt and I can kiss you where it hurts." he says.

"That would be nice." I reply. He smiles as I sit up about to take my shirt off. That's when the door bursts open and Lafayette and Hercules sprint in.

"Alexander Hamilton!" Lafayette yells speed walking up to the bed. I sigh letting go of my shirt. "Did you know about this?" Hercules asked. The sisters ran into the room out of breath.

"Don't hurt him please!" Angie yells, Laf takes a deep breath. "Did you know that Angelica was going to start training to be a cop?" Lafayette asks slowly. "What?!" John asks staring at me, "What? It's not like I'm the one who's becoming a cop." I said.

"So you did know?" Lafayette asks, I nod my head, "Yeah, of course I knew." I say. "Alex is my brother! Of course I had to tell him." Angelica says. "Yeah, and besides, she was gonna tell you guys anyways." Peggy said also taking a seat.

"So, when are you starting the training?" John asked, "Tomorrow." she replied. "Mmm and you're going to come back here afterwards to tell me how it went." I say and she laughs. "Yeah, I will don't worry." she says.

"You have any idea when you're gonna be discharged?" Eliza asks and I shake my head. "Which symptoms are left over?" Hercules asks, "Headace, sore muscles and back and a high fever."

"At least you're not still bleeding." Laf says. John leans his chin on my shoulder and kisses my neck. "Wow! Hey, there are like five other people in here you know!" Peggy yells, "Well there were two before you came and you ruined the mood." John says coldly glaring at her.

"Ew!" Angie yelled getting up. "Mhm, bye bye." I say as they leave. They shut the door and I turn back to John. "You still wanna...?" I ask, he pulls my shirt up and off. He starts kissing my neck moving down.

The door opens again and Laf walks in covering his eyes. He grabs his jacket and walks out again.

I look at John and he shrugs his shoulders and continues to kiss me.
