Philidosia~Rewrite the stars

Greatest showman AU

Theodosia Burr, African American trapeze artist.

Philip Hamilton, famous preformer.

Philip was desperately in love with Theodosia, they have perfect chemistry on stage, but she's African and he's Christan. Society would never accept them.

You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied

"Theo!" Philip cried out, "Please, we can make it work." She turned to face him.

"Tell that to your family, scream it to the world, if you can't then we aren't meant to be."

"Please, I was meant to be yours." He begged.

You claim it's not in the cards
But fate is pulling you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?

"If I can tell everyone, then will you stay with me?" He asked. Theodosia didn't respond.

What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight

"Please, I can't live without you, I need you, you are my purpose."

You think it's easy
You think I don't want to run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why
Because we're able to be
Just you and me
But within these walls
Know when we go outside
You're going to wake up and see that it was hopeless after all

"I know," She whispered, "and I need you too, I just know that it's hopeless."

No one can rewrite the stars
How can we say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you
It's not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can't be ours
Tonight

"It doesn't matter, we can run away from everything." Philip replied.

"The question is- for how long? Philip, we can't run forever."

All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you

"But we can try." Philip's eyes were burning with determination. It almost made Theodosia want to give in.

If it's impossible?

It's not impossible

Is it impossible?

Say that it's possible

"I want to Philip, I really do."

How do we rewrite the stars?
And say you were meant to be mine?
And nothing can keep us apart
Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you
And it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
Why don't we rewrite the stars?
Taking the world to be ours

She ran up to him and pulled him into a hug. When she looked into his eyes she could almost imagine a life with him.

Suddenly they heard footsteps.

"Philip!" It was Alexander Hamilton, Philip's father. Theodosia saw panic and fear in his eyes and she immediate snapped back to reality and stepped away from Philip.

You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
But I can't have you
We're bound to break and
My hands are tied

"But with the look on your face, it's all just talk." She hissed. She stormed out of the room.
