Y/N'S POV
I read the letter.
"No.... No... N... NOOOO!" I yell, sinking to the floor sobbing. Eliza hugs me. "I'm sorry for your loss. Alexander has been working non-stop ever since he got his letter. He won't talk to anybody.But.... You were his wife. So I can see how you might have been impacted mo- Y/N?" I notice I'm gazing to the side of the room. Only to find a shimmery blue image of—
"John? What are you... You're dead! How are you there?" I say, walking over to the ghostly figure. "Y/N? Are you okay? John's dead. And.... You're talking about seeing John."
"Eliza, look around over there! John's right there......." I look back to where John was, only to find him gone. "I don't see anything," Eliza says. That only makes me start sobbing harder. Eliza sighs.
"I need to go home. I'm.... I'm so sorry, Y/N. If there's anything, anything at all I can do to help, don't hesitate to come over." I nod. She smiles and walks over to the door, uttering one last goodbye before shutting the door. Only then do I see it.
There's a note on the floor.
Where John was.
I pick it up and read it.
Dearest Y/N,
I'm sorry. I didn't live to see our glory. But I gladly joined the fight. And if you tell my story, tell the story of tonight. I love you. And I promise this isn't goodbye. Until then,
J. Laurens
1 HOUR LATER
ALEX'S POV
Bills. Papers. Essays.
I have so much work.
I can't stop now! I need to be non-stop. I hear a knock, before Eliza comes in. I keep on working "Alexander? I'm sorry once again about Laurens. Just... It's been about 3 days, and you've barely slept! Please just take a break." I stay silent.
"Alexander?" I stay quiet still. Eliza starts to look annoyed.
"Alexander?" About 20 seconds after no answer, she finally yells,
"aLEXANDER HAMILTON! PLEASE. JUST. ANSWER!"
"Eliza, please. I got hit the absolute worst after Laurens' death, okay?! Can't you just-"
"That's not true." I start to get mad about that. I was his best friend! So naturally I'd get hit the hardest. Who else would? "Yes, it is," I shoot back at her. Eliza lets a single tear drip down her face.
"You forgot his wife."
Of course. Y/N. Her own sister. No one can compare to that type of love. Why did I forget?!
"Eliza, I forgot abou-"
"Save it. Stay in your office. See if I care." Eliza snaps at me.
She slams the door shut.
