~~~

   "Hey y/n you wanna come over tonight?" my friend Peggy asked me. it was lunch and I was preparing my final notes for an astronomy class presentation for the students. Peggy and I are professors at Kings college, her being in communications class and I being in astronomy. "my sisters are also coming we're having a little get together and you know how they are, i'd be the third wheel like always." she said playing around with her salad she brought from home. I looked at her for a bit before looking back at my notes.
   "sure, but if they start to dwell upon my dating life i'm leaving." I said trying to memorize the correct pronunciation for some of the words. I took out my laptop and continued working.
*time skip to later that night*
   there I was in front of my friend's home waiting for someone to answer the door. I already knew this was about to turn into a night about me, as I haven't really talked to the others since graduating college. plus every time I see them they insist on finding a possible husband for me to marry.
   "y/n!" a familiar voice shouted as they pulled me inside. I could tell it was Eliza even though it didn't really look like her. even though the only thing different is the baby bump on her belly, she just doesn't remind me of the Eliza I knew. as I stepped inside the home i could feel this was gonna be a long night.
   "Eliza! how's Alexander? is he treating you well? I see you two have been busy." I said. I tried not sounding nosy and just went with whatever popped in my head. she smiled and blushed at the last part. sure in college I was friends with the sisters but I always kept to myself. if anything I was more friends with Aaron Burr than anyone.
   "him and I are alright, this is actually our first child. we haven't named them yet but looking forward to it. enough about me how are you? still have your head in outer space?" she asked giggling at the last part. I could feel blush creep on my cheeks.
   "i'm okay, yeah actually i'm a professor at Kings, I teach astronomy now." I said trying to keep my talking to a minimum. I heard laughing in the next room and Eliza must've noticed too.
   "oh I completely forgot! the others are in the living room. let's go to them before they have too much fun without us." she said taking my hand and leading me to the living room. the closer we got the more I heard Angelica's voice. Peggy was there too it's just she was quieter. "Girls, our dear y/n is here! let's get the party started!" she exclaimed going to the sofa to sit.
   "y/n! I would like to say you've changed so much but you look exactly like you did in college. except I bet you finally lost you know what." she said with a smirk pulling me into a hug. I could hear the other two giggle and I just sighed.
   "nope. not having that conversation again." I said pulling away from the hug adjusting my clothes to hide the blush on my face. I mean sure I had my eye on someone but I haven't seen him since college.
   "yep our little star nerd is still too worried about our solar system to bother herself with it." said Peggy laughing. the other two started laughing too. I could feel myself start to get angry.
   "sorry i'm not ready to get laid yet. jesus." I said crossing my arms over my chest and sending a death glare to everyone.
   "y/n please tell me you're not mad. we're only joking." Eliza began but was soon cut off by her sister.
   "oh please 'Liza we need to get her laid. too bad you didn't go for it with John when you had the chance." The eldest sister said with an even bigger smirk. I could feel myself get way too pissed I couldn't control myself. she has no right to bring up John.
   "nice seeing you. i'm leaving. Eliza make sure to update me about the baby please. see you at work Peggy. bye Angelica." I said making my way outside. as I got outside I could feel myself start to shake. it was getting colder and I could feel myself start to regret walking here.
   "I stick with real things, Usually facts and figures. When information's in its place, I minimize the guessing game. Guess what? I don't like guessing games. Or when I feel things, Before I know the feelings. How am I supposed to operate, If I'm just tossed around by fate? Like on an unexpected date?" I said allowed. i hate how the girls always set me up on blind dates. they never work. i'm never in love if i'm seeking it out. I've given up on love. I started walking the lonely backroads of New York. trying to find my way home in the dark. I saw a cute little coffee shop nearby maybe I can stop there.
Ten Beans was the name. I thought it was cute. as I walked into the small shop I could tell they were about to close.
   "are you still serving? i can leave if you're closing." I said as what I believe to be the manager turns around. he smiled at me. boy his smile is cute.
   "oh no, just cleaning stuff off. what would you like?" he asked walking behind the wood counter. I looked up at the menu and saw my favorite hot drink.
   "I-I um will have that." I said pointing to the menu. he smiled and punched it in. he walked over and started making my drink. I decided I might as well speak. "this is such a lovely business, i'm surprised I-it's not so busy." I said as I swayed side to side slightly. switching from one foot to the other. the man chuckled.
   "well thank you, I own the business. in all honesty, it's worth every cent of college." he said as he set my drink on the counter. I took the drink back to a table and sat down. I realize I never payed. I pulled out some of the money in my pocket and asked him how much it was. he waved me off.
   "no no no, the only payment I will accept if you let me sit down and chat with you." he said with a smile. his eyes sparkling with hope. I couldn't help but giggle and pull up a chair. he turned the chair around and looked at me. I started to sip the drink and my smile got wider and wider.
    "oh my god this is so fu- sorry this is really good!" I said blushing at my mistake. I almost cursed to a stranger. he started laughing making me blush even harder. he smiled at me and I couldn't help but fall for him.
   ' ' I started pulling myself away from the thoughts of him. he's nice. no he's perfect. he's kind. he had lovely eyes. he makes me laugh come out of hiding.
   "um miss can I ask you a question?" he asked. I looked from my cup to him. oh he's trying to kill me isn't he?? he's so cute. I nodded. "have I seen you somewhere before? you remind me of someone. what's your name?" he asked. then I thought about it. his looks remind me of somebody I used to know.
   "not sure. my name is y/n, y/n l/n." I said looking at him. his face turned from confused to very happy in a matter of seconds.
   "No wonder! I remember you! we went to kings college together! we has journalism together! i'm Charles. Charles Lee." he said looking at me. now I remember him. his laugh. the stupid jokes he would say. how he would always ask for a pencil. and how he got into a fight with John Laurens. my best and only friend I had. he got in a really bad car accident when we were juniors in college. I remember how when I stopped going to classes Lee was one of the people who would bring me work. he was nice. he helped me. he tried being my friend.
   "I can't believe it's you! I haven't seen you since graduation." I said looking at him. I've always had a crush on him but never acted upon it.
   "h-hey um. I was wondering if you would like to u-um, I don't know, come to dinner with me?" Charles asked. I smiled at him. I could feel college me freaking out internally. 'did he just ask me out?'
   "I would love too." I said with the utter most confidence I could muster.  I could feel butterflies that haven't occupied my belly for quite some time. I could feel my brain going from, "stranger" to "please kiss me".
he smiled back at me.
   "I just have um one rule." I said quietly. I was trying so hard to not show my true self. my true feelings. he nodded signaling for me to go on. "you have to let me pay." I smiled again but this time looking up at him. he laughed. his laugh is adorable.
*time skip*
   as soon as I got home I couldn't help but think about how my night turned from completely shitty to holy shit a hot guy smiled at me. I need to call Peggy. I need to tell her how tomorrow i'm going on a date with fucking Charles Lee. (in a good way of course) Lee walked me home so as soon as we said our goodbyes and I closed the door I couldn't help but smile and slide down to the floor, with my back against the door.
   "wait... did I give him my number?" I asked myself. I realized stupid me didn't even give him my number. so I got up as fast as I could and opened my door only to find myself running through hallways to find him. the boy who stole my heart. I saw the only elevator in my apartment building begin to close. so I just yelled "HOLD PLEASE." and low and behold it wasn't closing anymore.
   "i'm so sorry i'm running after so-" I started but cut myself off to see who held the door for me. "h-hey" I said looking at Charles. I felt the butterflies return. "I realized I never gave you my number." I said looking back down. I could hear him chuckle to himself. and blush couldn't help but lightly submerge on my cheeks.
   "I guess you didn't." he said. he was no longer holding the door and the elevator was moving. until it hit an abrupt stop. the lights went out as well. "what the hell?" he said. the sudden stop caused me to trip and fall to the floor. but Lee was more interested in getting back to the lobby.
   "power went out. this happens sometimes. they still haven't fixed the generator." I said pulling my knees to my chest. he looked down at me. what he didn't know was this has only happened to me once and when it did I had a panic attack because i'm afraid of the dark. especially in small spaces. I could feel my anxiety rise. but it stopped when he sat directly down right next to me. I asked him for his phone and he quickly obliged.
   "i'm gonna enter a contact for me is that alright?" I asked looking at his eyes that seem to sparkle with the brightness of the phone. he smiled and said a simple "yeah". I created a contact with my name and number. and gave him his phone back. I could feel myself starting to get anxious again. "u-um this may s-s-sound a bit weird b-but can I hold your hand-D?" I asked him feeling my hands shake. he found my hand and intertwined them.
   "y/n I never really asked, what do you do now?" he asked me. I couldn't tell if he was talking about my job or not so i'm going with my work life. I smiled thinking about the presentation that went really well today.
   "oh, um, I-i'm a professor at Kings. I teach astronomy." I said smiling. I love my job. I love how I can inspire someone the way someone did to me. he chuckled and nodded his head.
   "I knew you wouldn't replace your love with space for anything.. I actually bet someone that you'd become either an astronaut or a teacher. I guess I won." he said. I looked at him. I smiled. he knew me even back then. I giggled couldn't help but know that he went to kings for a business degree.
   "yeah." I said laying my head on his shoulder. I felt very sleepy but wide awake at the same time. he pulled me closer one arm around my waist and one intertwined with my fingers.
   "you know, I'd never admit it to anyone but these something about you that always made me love you." he just blurted out. I was taken aback. love me? "shit, I mean um... D-don't take that in a b-bad way. I mean I do love you I-I, shit sorry. i'm rushing stuff-" he started babbling on. he tried to let go of my hand but I kept my grip firm. I looked up at him.
   "don't be sorry. I've always liked you Lee, i'm just very very anxious when it comes to relationships." I said looking for an answer in his eyes. something I said made him hold me even closer.
   soon enough the lights came back on and we were moving again. Lee had to let go of me so we could get up. I was mostly asleep so he had to carry me back to my apartment. I made him stay the night.
   "only because you're cute as all hell" he told me. he slipped into bed with me and we cuddled all night. with him occasionally mumbling about coffee in his sleep. I found it adorable and fell asleep with him in mind.
   over the months of us growing closer and closer he finally asked me out. but I was weary. so I told him to meet me at Central Park in New York. if he was there in the flower bed where I told him my favorite place in the world is I would say yes.
*time skip*
    I go ready to head out until I heard a knock at the door. I opened it quickly and it was Peggy. I haven't told her about Charles yet and she looked unhappy.
   "Alexander did something horrible y/n." was all she said before coming inside. I watched as she went and sat down on my couch. "he... he cheated on Eliza." she said. I looked at her. she looked at me knowing exactly what I was thinking.
   "i'm going to kill him. after John I made him promise to never again. he's dead Peggy. he's dead." I said. I knew that if we were in a cartoon smoke would be coming out of my ears and my eyes would have fire in them.
   "y/n, you, you're crying." she said getting up from the couch. I knew I was too emotional. she wiped the tears off my face and looked at me.
   "I hope he burns." I stated and walked out the apartment. I needed to calm down. I was on my way to kings college until I remembered Charles. I started running all the way to Central Park. I knew I was crying again but I honestly could care less.
   I got to the flower bed and ran into someone. I fell on top of whoever it was. I finally started to break down. I felt as though I couldn't breathe. John deserved better. he didn't deserve Hamilton. he didn't deserve to die so young. and then I heard his perfect voice.
   "y/n, oh my god are you okay?!" Lee asked me holding onto me. almost as if I would drift away if he let go. I sobbed into his chest.
   "promise me you w-will never hurt me." I told him. I looked at him with rage in my eyes. he looked at me with so much love in his eyes. 'this isn't his fault y/n calm down' I could feel myself soften in his gaze.
   "y/n, I love you more than anything in this life, every sacrifice I make will be for you I will give you the best life." he said pulling me closer and kissing my forehead.
   I realized we were sitting right next to the flowers. I didn't move. he didn't move. I just picked one of the flowers and looked at it. I suddenly sat up almost losing my balance and helped Charles up.
   "Charles c-can we go on a walk?" I asked looking out to the horizon. it was started to show the end of day but it wasn't sunset yet. he took my hand and said a simple sure. I started walking out of the park and past all the streets and subways. I led the both of our out of the city and into the country side. not too far from the city but far enough nobody knows about the spot.
   soon enough we reached a hill with a willow tree on top. because of the season pink blossoms were covering the tree. as we got closer you could see the field of daisies behind the hill. when we reached to top of the hill the only thing that was gloomy about this perfect spot was the grave. it read, 'John Laurens, loved by many taken too soon, ever yours, and never forgotten.' it then had his birthday. Charles tightened his grip on my hand and I couldn't help but smile. I then led him passed the grave and to the other side of the hill where the daisies were. i just lied down pulling Charles with me.
   "daisies have always been my favorite. and so are you." I rolled to my side so I could look at him. he looked back at me and smiled. "I love you." we both said at the same time. we both started a giggling fit and couldn't come down.
   "well if you don't mind i'm gonna start calling you daisy." he said looking back at the sky. it was now sunset and I was in love. I was in love with Charles. I was in love with the fact my best friend is resting in peace. i'm in love with the fact that as soon as I get home i'm going to punch Hamilton. but i'm mostly in love with Charles Lee.

(can I just say this is over 3,000 words and i'm crying. that's for requesting this!!!)
