Two broken souls (Lams)

twenty eight

Maria kissed Eliza on the cheek "Well I better get home babe." Eliza smiles then nodded "lunch tomorrow still?" Maria nodded then started climbing out the window. Peggy laid her head on John's shoulder "alot easier that I thought." She mumbles. John sighs "being straight is ew." She laughs "poor baby had to act straight how terrible." John rolls his eyes "so Angelica and Eliza. Pink one and blue one you remember Alexander. Alexander Hamilton?" They nodded "Yeah he worked with me when at the tattoo parlor." Angelica says leaning forwards "is he back?" Peggy nods "yeah he needs to talk." Angelica looks at Eliza "okay? About." Peggy groans then sits back up "do you remember doing a man with French flag? Two men came in getting matching." Angelica nodded "yeah ummm Thomas Jefferson and his brother like umm Martin or something." John nods then pulls out his phone as it buzzes, opening the text message. Peggy leans over to looks "Alex?" John hums reading the message "Angelica what are you doing tomorrow?" She shrugs "nothing probably." Peggy nods "cool you have date plans with a boy we will call it." She nods "ok? What is all this about?" John hears a knock at the door "we can explain tomorrow." Philip walks in "Peggy, John we have your room together." He smiles then points down the hall. Peggy looks at John standing up and grabbing his hand "let's go my sweet love." John smiles at Philip then follows Peggy. 

They sit on the bed leaning against the wall Peggy laid her head on Johns shoulder and fell asleep. That night John didn't sleep much with all the shit thats been going on. When Peggy woke up John was already awake "Hey John." John smiles "Hey." She looks at me "Oh sorry did I." he shakes his head "Nah your good." she nods "Ok todays the day?" john nods "yup." Once they got up and finally left the room Philip rushed them over to the kitchen to eat. 

John sits down next to Peggy as Philip went on and on about everything "and isn't Elizas new girlfriend so nice." Peggy stopped eating "Huh." Philip turned red "Oh uhh she didn't tell you." Peggy's eyebrows kneed together "No she told me." Philip sighed "Oh good but anyways I just love them together." Peggy shakes her head "Hold up. the man that refused to come to my wedding the man who called the love of my life a fag and not including me. The person that would scream at me 24/7 about being gay is ok with my sister having a girlfriend." Philip frowns "well yes aren't I suppose to be supportive of my daughter." John looked at Peggy then at Philip, he went to say something but sat back in his seat. Peggy laughed "Well no fuck dad you should be. But why the hell was mine any different." Philip shakes his head "it just was I didn't understand that it was ok then." Peggy could feel tears of frustration coming "Ok then why did you never come to visit? why did every time i tried calling you never answered?" He sighed "you never called." Peggy took a breath "I called constantly I tried everything I could to get ahold of you." Philip sighs lost for words. "Im fucking happy that your not giving Eliza hell you gave me. Im happy you're not making Eliza go to church ever Sunday to pray the gay away. That your not screaming at her. That your there for her that you didn't smack her the day she brought her girlfriend over and that night you ran off, stayed at your girlfriends place and spent the night crying." Philip looked at the ground "I I I." Peggy shook her head and was now leaning forwards "Exactly and If you are sooo supportive why the fuck when you opened the door from the second you looked at me you had something to say about Kenzie." Philip sighed "Because I just want what's best for you." Peggy looked at John tears now falling then back at Philip "I have what's best for me I have the love of my life I have amazing friends that are there for me. I mean god John is fucking taken he is with Hamilton but was willing to kiss me so we could make it believable. He was willing to stay in the same room with me he was willing to wear a ring for Pete's sake." Philip looked at John "so you guys aren't." Peggy shook her head "No dumbass I'm still with Kenzie and I will be until the day I die wether you like it or not." she stands up along with John "Fuck you fuck this family name and fuck you I just wanted to help you." She grabs Johns hand and the march out of the room. 

They bump into Eliza and Angelica in the living room. Eliza looked at Peggys tear stained face "Peggy?" Peggy raised her hand "No. Today at noon at the cafe we need to talk." She told Angelica then at Eliza "Congrats on getting the good side of dad." then they walked out the door. Once they got out the gate Peggy stopped and crumbled into Johns arms. John let her sob into his shirt while he wrapped his arms around her "its ok. He a fucking asshole." Peggy shook her head "He might be but he my family I just-." she couldn't finish her sentence. John shook his head "You don't need that family if they are going to treat you like that." Peggy laughs "well I can't ditch them." John sighed "We will be your family." Peggy smiled "I like that." he looked down at her "Peggy as soon as we get what we need here we are going to run back to New York and live the life we need. and if you and Kenzie want to join, join we can be one big happy broken family." she nodded "I want that." he rested his head on hers "perfect." She looked up "Ready?" John smiles "ready. can you walk." She laughs "yeah but i don't want to." he shakes he head "I'm not carrying you." she shakes her head then rolls her eyes "fine I'll just put my body weight against you and walk." He pats her on the head then they start walking back to where Alex wanted to meet.

When they reach there he called Alex telling him where they were. Peggy and John sat down in a booth her still leaning on him "You know you could lean against the wall." he points out. she laughs "the wall is cold and hard. be grateful." he shakes his head "should we tell them." Peggy shakes her head "No let's just keep what happened this morning between us. it can be our first family secret." John nods and smiles "okay."
