3rd pov

It had been a week since the winter's ball, but everything seemed fine in the Schuyler household, Angelica had finally felt loved and satisfied in her heart and she was truly the happiest girl in the world, on the contrary, her dear younger sister Eliza felt empty and sad, the poor sister was in the middle of questioning her own happiness, ever since the night of the winter's ball she had started to be more distant to her sisters and felt less positive than she used to...
But then there was Peggy! The youngest of the three sisters, she did truly believe that the oldest sister deserved all the happiness that she was getting, but she didn't fail to notice the middle sisters change in attitude, so she is determined to make everything right in this family so no one comes out hurt in the end.

Angelica pov

"Angie" Peggy yelled to me from downstairs
"I've got a letter for you" as soon as she said that I went quickly downstairs with a large grin on my face "oh!" I said as soon as I was in front of Peggy "is it from.." I went close to Peggy's ear and said "Mr. Hamilton?" I giggled a little "sure is! Here" she said as she extended her arm out and I quickly snatched it from her hands and jumped happily "thank you so much Peggy," I said as I hugged your "you're truly the best!" I said as I made my way upstairs with my cheeks rosy red "oh and if you need anything come get me! I owe you!" I said as I turned around.
"Yea yea just go already!" she says as she smiled at me and I smile back "okok" I continue my way to the stairway and I hear "I better be your maid of honor!" I hear Peggy's voice shout at me as I keep waking down the hallway.

My heartfelt so warm and fuzzy, when Peggy said that I couldn't help but feel warmer inside. As soon as I reached my room I plopped on my bed and looked at the letter in my hands

-A Hamilton

Was the signature on the bottom
I pressed my fingers to my lips and put them
On his signature, I looked at the letter so lovingly and quickly opened the letter

I read the letter slowly and then came a part that made my heart flutter

"Can our love persist otherwise than through sacrifices, than by not demanding everything? Canst thou changes it, that thou are not entirely mine, I not entirely thine? Oh, God, look into beautiful Nature and compose your mind to the inevitable. Love demands everything and is quite right, so it is for me with you, for you with me — only you forget so easily, that I must live for you and for me — were we quite united, you would notice this painful feeling as little as I should…

…We shall probably soon meet, even today I cannot communicate my remarks to you, which during these days I made about my life — were our hearts close together, I should probably not make any such remarks. My bosom is full, to tell you much — there are moments when I find that speech is nothing at all. Brighten up — remain my true and only treasure, my all, as I to you. The rest the gods must send, what must be for us and shall.
Though these days are rough in the war I desire nothing more than to be by your side

Your dearest,
Alexander Hamilton"

I couldn't help the blush that was forming in my cheeks, I felt amazing at this moment and I wanted so badly to talk to someone about this happiness
Oh, Eliza!
She's free right now, so maybe I could talk to her about today's letter
I felt as if though Alexander truly did love me and I wanted nothing more than to be by side.


Eliza pov

Things have changed for the worst in my life...I've felt less and less of myself ever since Angelica met Alexander, that winter's ball truly was a nightmare to me... I've tried so hard to look at the positive side of all of this but my heart keeps going back to alexander, and how much it hurts to see him with my older sister, maybe one day I'll be able to overcome this heaviness in my chest but the way that things are going now... It seems like that's far, far away.

For now, though I'll just stick to distancing myself from my sister since I couldn't bear to lie to her face anymore...
"Liza!" well speak of the devil, here she is
"ah! Angie, you scared me.." I said to her "I'm sorry Eliza I just wanted to talk to you" she said as she sat beside on the bed "hm?" I hum in response "oh well" her cheeks had turned a lighter shade of pink "Alexander has been writing a letter for me nightly" she said as I look down at my hands in my lap "oh" I said with no emotion, how I wished that was me.. "that one's a catch" I said to her with a fake smile "oh yes! I truly believe that he may satisfy" angelica said with such a positive tone "it sounds like your In... Love" stretching out the last word... Love huh,
So it’s true when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love "aw yes! Words can not describe this warm feeling in my chest and the pounding in my heart, it only becomes stronger knowing that mister Hamilton feels the same.." Angelica said as she put the letter close to her chest, and I only watched from the sidelines, a small frown forming on my face "aw Angie it seems like you're absolutely smitten.. Who knows maybe mister, Hamilton will propose soon? If you're lucky, heh" I close my eyes and give a small fake smile,
Internally hoping she'd say no "Ahh Betsey! I think you're onto something! Lately, the letters have been mentioning him thinking of our future together!" she turned and looked at me excitedly "who knows maybe Peggy and you can be the maid's of honor at my wedding?" she said as she started to giggle cutesy "that would be wonderful" I said as my heart started to crumble on the ground, all my hopes and dreams of ever having a chance with him had been crushed.
"I remember the time that I snuck out to see him while he was here on business, we had walked around town talking about everything and nothing it was lovely and peaceful evening"
Angelica said to me while staring at her wrist "he had given me this bracelet as a sign that one day I'd be wearing a ring" she said sweetly "wait you snuck out Angelica? I never knew of this.." I said a bit confused "oh I'm sorry liza! I forgot that Peggy was the one who helped me sneak out that day, I think that you were busy with father" Angelica said as she scratched her cheek and chuckled nervously "oh well, either way, its fine Angie.." I said as I took both of her and looked at "as your sister I hope that God may bless to live in eternal... Happiness with Mister Hamilton and may you always be satisfied" I said as I look at her with a sad smile, and watched all my hopes and dreams wash away,
Angelica looked at me then quickly embraced me with a big hug "You're the best Betsey! I hope for the same for you my dear sister!"
Yes...



Hope...
