We had been so happy. Then one thing happened. Then another. What went wrong..?

Your POV

Alex had been distant recently. I mean, I knew about his obsession with writing and locking himself away, but it had gotten worse. Before he'd barely lock himself away at all, now it was almost every single day. John thought he just suddenly got slammed with government work, and I hoped he was right.

Now was one of the rare moments Alex wasn't locked away, especially rare seeing as it was nighttime. I was laying on his lap, watching the TV. I heard his phone buzz. He turned on his phone and looked at the notification, sighing. He looked down at me. "I need to go work, (N/N)."

I looked up at him. "Do you, Lexi?"

He nodded. "Yeah. I'm sorry, love. I know I've been working often."

I sat up. "It's fine, Lex. You're doing your job."

He smiled slightly and kissed my cheek, standing up and going to his office.

I watched his figure disappear around the corner, and around that same corner came Hercules. Herc saw my sad eyes. "Abandoned cuddle session?"

I nodded sadly. "Yeah.." I turned back to the TV and Herc came and sat on the couch. He pulled me onto his lap, and I couldn't help but smile, snuggling up to him. Herc was considered the teddy bear out of the five of us. His arms wrapped around me and we watched the TV.

After a while I felt my eyes fighting to stay open. "Herc... what time is it?" I mumbled. Herc moved one arm from my waist to check his phone. "It's 12:42, (N/N). We should get to bed."

I nodded, and Herc just picked me up bridal style. As he passed Alex's office, he knocked twice, signaling someone was going to bed. When we got into our room, John was curled up on the bed. Laf had gone off to Thomas's place, so who knew when he'd be back.

Herc put me on the bed and I scooted over to John so I was facing him. "You awake, Johnny?" I whispered.

John's eyes opened slowly. "Yeah..." He moved one of his arms to pull me closer to him and I rested my head against his chest. "Is Alex in his office again?"

I nodded tiredly. "Yep..."

John looked at my tired, sad expression and stroked my hair. "Don't worry, chickadee. We'll talk about it tomorrow. Now get to sleep." He wrapped an arm around me again and kissed my forehead gently. I snuggled against him more and heard Herc leave the room quietly. I quickly fell asleep in John's embrace.

~ later the next day ~

I was currently hanging out with the Schuylers. I hadn't seen Alex at all that morning and was getting worried, so I went off to the Schuyler sisters in order to cheer myself up.

I was feeling better already, just chatting with them. Then Peggy spoke up. "Hey girls... I think I found something..."

Angie looked at her. "What'd you find, Pegs?"

Peggy glanced down at her phone again. "It's called... The Reynolds Pamphlet..? Yeah, The Reynolds Pamphlet."

I looked up from my Tumblr scrolling. "Who's it by?"

Peggy looked down again. "It's... it's by Alexander!" That peeked my interest. "What could Alex possibly be writing about that has to do with the Reynolds?"

Eliza shrugged. "I mean he works for the government. Who knows. Read it, Pegs!"

"Okay.." Peggy clicked the article. "Let's see here...

The charge against me is a connection with one James Reynolds, for purposes of improper speculation."

The girls and I shared glances. "What's that supposed to mean?" Angie asked slowly. We all shook our heads. Peggy read forward and then gasped. "No way... he didn't.."

I looked at Peggy. "Read it, Peggy!" I exclaimed.

Peggy glanced nervously at me and then her sisters. "You sure about this? I'm not sure you want to hear this..."

"Tell us! Please!" Eliza said. Peggy shrugged. "Here goes nothing...

My real crime is an a-amorous connection with his wife for a considerable time, with his knowing c-consent..." Peggy had a hand over her mouth at the end of it with tears in her eyes. We were all in disbelief.

"An amorous connection? You're saying he had sex with this women under our noses?! And her husband knew about it?!" I exclaimed.

Peggy scrolled further down. "He also wrote that he paid James Reynolds money so he wouldn't tell anyone."

My eyes widened. "When did he publish this, Pegs?"

Peggy scrolled back up to look at the date. "Around midnight."

It clicked. That's why I didn't see Alex this morning. He was hiding in his room.

"It all makes sense now... him hiding away all this time... he's been lying to all of us!" I yelled, tears threatening to spill.

I stood up. "I'm sorry girls... I need to go home. I need to see my boys.."

The sisters gave me a tight hug. "Good luck. You know where to find us (N/N)," Angie said. I nodded. With that, I rushed out the door and into my car.

I walked up the driveway slowly, and opened the door. The house was oddly quiet. No one was in the living room. I took a step forward, closing the door behind me. "Guys? You home..?" No response.

Met with the hurting silence, I felt the tears all over again. I tried to take a step forward but I collapsed, bursting into sobs as soon as I hit the floor.

I heard a pair of footsteps. "Oh my god... (Y/N)!" It was John.

I soon found a pair of arms around me, rocking me back and forth. "Shh... it's okay, chickadee."

I could barely even answer. "He... h-he... A-Alex..."

"Shh... I know. We know what he did. He's not in this house anymore, chickadee. Don't cry."

I heard more footsteps then two pairs of arms around me. Herc and Laf.

I cried into John's chest until I couldn't anymore. And they all stayed put. We stayed there until I cried myself into sleeping. I couldn't even feel John picking me up and carrying me to bed. I couldn't feel anything at that moment.

If only I had known it was only the very beginning...
