Hamilton ship oneshots

Peggy confided in me

Historical

Peggy's pov,

I was at my family's annual ball, the winters ball.

Me and my sisters were standing gracefully at the front of the ballroom.

I felt kinda out of place though, I was used to being to tons of balls and gatherings, I always felt less special next to Angelica and Eliza.

Anyone would love to be standing next to them like I am, but not me. I would love to be appreciated for who I am, not just Angelica and Eliza's little sister.

The third choice.

People would ask me to dance.

Only for money.

Or because Angelica and Eliza were busy.

OR because my parents told me to dance.

A while later Angelica and Eliza are on the dance floor.

I'm standing there watching.

I don't mind, dancing isn't my thing. But I do always feel lesser of a person because my sisters are so great.

Everyone knows we are close.

But when we are all together Angelica and Eliza only ask for my opinion occasionally.

I was just there little bunny that follows them around.

And when I didn't, they would call upon me and say they "needed me" but once I was there it was as if I was one of those maids.

I watched as petticoats and silk skirts flew gracefully in the air. Angelica and Eliza looked stunning.

Eliza seemed to have found a new boy toy.

Everyone thinks Eliza is the sweet one, And Angelica is the belle of the ball. The "thief of hearts". But sweet Eliza has had many boy toys, just like Angelica.

I studied the mans face that Eliza danced with. I recognized him as General Washington's new aide-de-camp.

His right hand man.

Alexander Hamilton.

As the music ended Eliza danced with him again. I have never seen her do that. She must really like him.

Once their second dance was over Eliza was swept away to someone else. I could see a hint of jealousy on Hamilton's face.

Alexander saw me and smiled, he's approaching me.

Oh great, here we go again.

If someone can't get the other Schuyler sisters, they go for me. Again, the third choice.

But I can see right through them, they don't like me. They flirt with me and tell me all kinds of things I have heard before.

I know if I courted one of them they would only use it for boasting. " I'm dating a Schuyler sister" and for the riches my family has.

He approaches me and bows low, kissing my hand.

" Alexander Hamilton" He says. His voice is charming. I hope Eliza doesn't break him too hard.

" Margarita Schuyler" I smile, curtsying.

" Your very beautiful Margarita"

I talk with him well into the night.

He is very kind. We have a lot in common. I heard he was going to write to Eliza. He told me he would write to me too.

I talked with tons of other men that night as well. But I couldn't keep my mind off Alexander.

The next day me and Eliza both received letters from Alexander.

Of course I kept my letters from him a secret.

He told me he wanted to court Eliza. And that I should be his confident.

A month of exchanging letters went by.

Sometimes he came to visit. But Eliza would always be talking to him.

I would usually sneak in conversations with him while Eliza went to get tea.

Another month of us writing went by.

We were great friends, him and Eliza were courting now.

One day I came home from a walk to Eliza balling her eyes out and Angelica comforting her.

When I came in Angelica glared at me.

I didn't know why.

Then I realized I was supposed to get a letter from Alexander today. And that Angelica was holding a letter with my name on it.

" Go away" Angelica growled.

I noticed the letter wasn't even open.

So she just assumed since he was writing me letters he was secretly in love with me or something?

The nerve!

" Go" Angie glared again.

I gathered my skirts and headed up the stairs.

Once I am safe in my room I huffed loudly.

I open my window and look down. The cool wind blowing in my hair.

I swing my legs over the edge.

Angelica and Eliza, They are the Schuyler sisters.

I place my hands by my side on the edge on of the window sill and I push off of it.

I start falling.

And everything goes black.

Hi! I hope everyone is having a good day!

I haven't been updating on here because I've been busy with my other oneshot book.
