What comes next? -Sequel to college years-lams fanfic

Chapter 25

John POV

"What about me?" Philip asks as we walks in. both me and Alex are silent. "What's going on? Why are you both crying" he asks

"Okay Pip, If I tell you this your not allowed to tell anyone ok?" I say and he nods. "You remember Charles Lee. Well I have to get back together with him, and leave you and Alex, but I'm still allowed to see you once a month" I explain.

"What? Your joking right?!" He asks hurt.

"I'm sorry. If I don't then he'll... well it'll just be a lot worse if I don't go. I have 3 days." I say and he starts to cry.

"But that blackmail, that's illegal, can't you just go to the police?"

"It's a lot more complicated than that pip. I wish more than anyone he didn't have to. But you're gonna see him every month, you'll still have contact with him and Charles won't hurt you." Alex says.

"Why aren't you more mad about this?! He's your husband and your never gonna see him again! Charles is gonna hurt him and your just letting it happen?!" Philip yells.

"Philip, don't yell. Neither of us can do anything about it, if we could we would. And there's a chance I'll see him again. I'm allowed to see Lafayette and Hercules and Peggy and Angelica so if we're all together it'll be fine." I don't even know if I'm allowed to see them, I just can't let Philip get too upset.

"But it won't be the same! and you'll just get hurt even more!"

"Philip please, there's nothing we can do. We only have 3 days left, can we please not fight?" I beg, he slowly nods.

*Three days later*

Charles Lee: I'll be there at 3, you better be ready

John: I will be

I put down my phone. I Feel sick, I'm never gonna see Alex again, I'll probably never be happy again. It's 12 now which means we have 4 hours left. "John..." Alex says with tears in his eyes.

"Please don't, I don't wanna think about it" I say, Alex just nods. "And you know you have to act like you don't already know" I say, he just nods again. I hug him tight. I don't wanna let go, I don't know if I can let go.

*4 hour later*

"I love you so much" I say when I here Charles honk. Tears run down my face.

"I love you to, I always will, I'll do everything I can to get you back. I love you" Alex replies, also crying a lot.

"I'll see you soon pip. You gotta take care of pa for me ok?" I say and Philip nods.

"I love you!" He hugs me, I hug him back.

"I love you too" I say. I hug them both one last time and we walk to the front door.

"John! John please come back! whatever I did I'm sorry! Please don't leave!" Alex cries, it makes me cry even more.

"I-I just don't love you anymore I'm sorry" I reply and Charles smiles.

"What about me and Philip?! He needs you, I need you! You promised you would never leave me!" He continues. "Why would you do this to us? To me? I love you. Please just this once stay!"

"Goodbye Alexander" I say and get in the care. I watch as he falls onto his knees in tears. I know he's not acting. Out of everything that's ever happened between us this is the worst.

"You made the right choice" Charles says. I just burry my head in my arms. That's the last time I'll ever see him. It's over. We'll never get that happy ending.

Alex POV

He's gone. I'll never see him again. he'll be living with Charles for the rest of his life in fear. I can't let that happen. I have to get him back but how?

"Pa?" Philip asks, I can tell he's crying.

"Come here" I pull him forward and hug him.

"Is there any way we can get him back?" He sniffs.

"I don't know. But I've got an Idea. We get the police involved, they can do something I'm sure. I'm not gonna give up until we've tried everything humanly possible." I reply.

We walk back inside and I go into my room. On the bed is his favorite hoodie and a note. I put on the hoodie and smile a tiny bit, it still smells like him. I open the note.

Lexi.

I love you so much. You're the most amazing thing to happen to me. I'm so sorry I had to leave but if I didn't you would have. I know there's almost no chance of me ever seeing you again but I will always love you. I know Charles is gonna hurt me but every night I'll still go to sleep thinking about you. I'll never move on but doesn't mean you shouldn't I only want you to be happy so if that means you find a new husband or wife that's ok just please don't forget about me. I still get to see Philip, make sure he knows everything so he can tell me. I love you more than anything. If I die young I want you to know I never did and never will love Charles, he'll always be the abusive boyfriend and you'll always be the one that saved me, even if I'm still with him.

Yours forever, John Laurens-Hamilton.
