Ships: Hamiliza, Jeggy, and briefly Angelica/Lafayette.
Warnings: Angst, and a whole lot of it. Abuse. Abandonment. Bullying, and more. I will try to put a warning in front of each chapter. No smut and no swearing cause my parents would kill me. Credit for the cover and chapter banners goes to @whatifiwasanonion.
Seventeen-year-old Alexander Hamilton should feel lucky. He should feel lucky that he survived the hurricane and the illness he and his mother had when he was twelve. He should feel lucky that he has a family now, an adoptive one at that. He doesn't. His traumatic childhood still haunts him day and night and Hamilton swore to himself to never befriend or to come close to anyone, for fear he may lose them. But when Hamilton arrives at King's High, all of that changes. He meets the dashing, charming, handsome blue-eyed John Laurens and instantly befriends him. But after his recent break up with his girlfriend Martha Manning, Laurens learns his father will be visiting him and expects Laurens to be with Martha, possibly even engaged to her. So, panicked, Laurens asks Hamilton to be his fake girlfriend because Hamilton looked "feminine" enough. Hamilton agrees nonetheless but little did they know, will the two teens actually become helpless for each other.
