Chapter Three

(Y/N)'s POV-

It's been a few days since I left my house. I had no idea where I was. I was hungry, and I was cold. It was snowing non-stop (c;) ever since I left, and sometimes I regret ever leaving.

"God, why are you so stupid?" I grumbled to myself.

Suddenly, I tripped over myself. I didn't even bother to get up. But, in the distance, I could see lights. And people. And tall buildings. I grinned, before passing out.

I blinked open my eyes and looked around.

Where am I?

"Ah, you're awake!" I jumped when I heard a low voice.

I turned to see a burly man with short black hair walking over to me.

I couldn't help but smile.

"Who are you?" I whispered. "And how did I get here?"

"My name is (I'm too lazy to think of a name so) Dr. (B/N).  And you're here because these three girls found you and brought you here."

"Ah... Are they here?" I stared at him innocently.

"Um... Let me see. Be right back." He lifted a finger and turned, dashing out of the room.

It was a few minutes later and he came back in the room with three girls. The one in the front was wearing a very pretty pink dress. She looked like the oldest. She had long, curly hair. Behind her were two other girls. The one to her left had long, straight brown hair and was wearing a blue dress. And the last one was smaller, so she was probably the youngest. She also had long, curly brown hair and she was wearing a yellow dress.

"Here they are." The doctor announced.

"Thank you. Can I talk to them alone, please?" I asked.

"Um... Of course, miss." He blinked, before walking back out of the room.

I turned my head to look back at the three girls.

"What are your names?" I asked, admiring their beauty.

"My name is Angelica." The woman in the pink dress smiled sweetly.

"I'm Eliza." The woman in the blue dress was also smiling sweetly.

"And I'm Peggy!" The girl in the yellow grinned a toothy grin, dashing in front of the other two.

"Those are nice names." I rasped. "Are you sisters?"

"We are." Angelica came closer. "The Schuyler sisters."

"And what's your name?" Peggy squealed, running over to the hospital bed and studying me.

"My name is (Y/N)." I held out my hand. "(Y/N) Hamilton."

Just as Peggy was about to shake my hand, she froze. She glanced back at her sisters.

"What? What's wrong?" I stared at them in confusion.

"Oh, um... Nothing." Peggy laughed nervously. "Just give us a minute."

Angelica, Eliza, and Peggy quickly shuffled out of the room.

I stared after them with wide eyes.

A few minutes later, they bundled back into the room.

"Hey, can we ask you a few questions?" Eliza blinked at me.

"Oh. Sure!" I smiled.

Eliza glanced at Angelica and came closer to the bed.

"Ok... So... You said your last name was Hamilton, correct?" She started.

"Yep." I blinked at her.

"Um... Do you live with your mother?"

"No, she died a long time ago, along with my brother." My mouth twisted with sadness.

"What was your brother's name?" She stared at me with wide eyes.

"I... I don't remember. It was a long time ago. I'm sorry, why are you asking me this?" I stared at them with narrowed eyes.

"No reason..." Angelica spoke up.

"Seriously? Whenever someone says 'no reason', there's obviously a reason. Now spill." I stared at them accusingly.

"Ok, ok... It's just... We know someone, a man, who looks about your age, maybe a few years older... And his last name is Hamilton. (Y/N), are you sure your brother died with your mother all those years ago?" Angelica walked over to Eliza.

"Are you suggesting this man is my brother?" I narrowed my eyes.

"It's a possibility... Who did you live with before you came here? If you lived with anyone, that is..." Eliza murmured. She looked somewhat excited for some reason.

"I lived with my father... He brought me with him when my mother and brother died." I looked down, confused.

"Alexander's father left him and his mother when his mother died." I heard Angelica whisper to Eliza and Peggy.

"Hey, (Y/N), would you be fine if we maybe brought Alexander here to meet you?" Eliza asked.

"I guess..." I shrugged. "When?"

"Would later today or tomorrow morning work?"

"How about tomorrow morning? If that doesn't work for this 'Alexander' man, then you can bring him later today." I nodded.

"I think he should be free tomorrow morning. He would've told me if he was doing something." Eliza grinned. "Alright, then... Bye, (Y/N)! See you tomorrow!" 

They hurried out of the room, leaving me staring after them.
