Eliza smiled brightly as she headed down the staircase. She was adorn in her favorite night gown, an ocean blue long dress that flowed around her with every fluid movement she made. "Alex!" she giggled, as she hopped off of the stairs, skipping the two last steps. Alexander turned and smiled as he watched Eliza run towards him, seeming to glide across the room and settling herself in his arms.

"Hey, Lizzy," he cooed, while watching John out of the corner of his eye. Laurens didn't seem to particularly notice or care about the actions the two lovebirds were making, which made Alexander's throat close up. He then felt guilty for feeling this way, as his loving girlfriend  was wrapping her arms around him.

Eliza's heart fluttered as Alex hugged her tight, but she couldn't help but feel that something was off, as if Alexander's mind was wondering. That was not surprising, as Alex often got lost in thought. "I'm so glad you came," she said, quickly backing away from Alex. "Peggy really does have the smartest ideas, a sleepover is perfect!"

"I'd disagree," came a soothing voice from the bottom of the staircase. Angelica stood, smirking slightly in a teasing manner, with her arms crossed. She leaned back against the wall, her coral pink satin sleeping gown ruffling with her movements. "If Father finds out about this, Peggy's ass is grass."

"Oh, ease up Angelica," called a voice from the top of the stairs. Peggy ran down the steps, wearing a light yellow sleeping shirt and lovely floral blue pajama pants with coral colored flowers lacing around the legs. "No ones ass is going to be grass, unless someone has like, butt sex, then--"

"That's enough, Peggy," Angelica sighed, shuffling out of the room and presumably to the kitchen.

"Hehe, now that the Debbie downer is gone, we can have some fun!" Peggy said as she flopped on the couch next to Hercules and Lafayette , who where, at the moment, having a very heated conversation about language barriers. Alexander chuckled softly, and sat down next to John who was currently staring off to space. Luckily, the couch was large enough for all the friends to sit on it. Eliza took a seat next to Alex, entertaining her hand with his. She couldn't help but feel a bit odd, as the feeling of off-ness from earlier hadn't yet left the room. No one else seemed to notice it, though, so she ignored is and laid back into the plush pillows laid out on the couch.

"So," Lafayette said, cutting off his earlier conversation, "what do we do know? I've never been to a.. eh, sleepover before, I am afraid."

"Really?" Hercules gasped, astonished. "How have you not been to or had a sleepover before?"

Lafayette shrugged. "I just... never have had one  before."

"Well.... we could watch a movie," Alexander suggested. Angelica popped out of the door, popcorn in hand.

"Did I hear movie?" Angelica crawled into the space next to Eliza and shoved popcorn into her mouth.

"You did indeed," Peggy smiled, grabbing the remote off of the coffee table and clicked the TV on. "Now all we need are blankets!" Peggy jumped up. "C'mon Jerkules," she said, grabbing Hercules' arm and yanking him up. "Lets get the blankets!" As soon as the two left, an uncomfortable and awkward silence filled the room. No one here were to good of friends, and they had nothing to talk about to pass the time. So they just waited until Peggy's harsh footsteps could be heard. They all watched as Peggy hopped down the stairs. "Staring is rude," she pointed out before throwing blankets at everyone's face and settling herself between Herc and Lafayette once more. "Okay, what do you guys want to watch?"

"Thor Ragnarok—"

"Mama Mia!"

"Amélie!!"

"Infinity War."

"Aquaman, he's super hot—"

"What the hell Herc? I suggest Venom, since we're all so into Marvel—"

"Can we watch a documentary on—"

"I'm going to stop you right there, John," Peggy said, disgusted. "A documentary? At a sleepover? Your taste in film is so horrifying that I think I'm going to vomit."

"Jesus Christ, never mind then. I vote for Mama Mia."

"Yes, thank you! Finally, someone with common sense," Eliza cried, a distraught look on her face. "No one ever wants to watch Mama Mia with me!"

"Okay Mama Mia wins," Angelica said. She grabbed the remote from Peggy's hand and began to look for the movie.

"Angiiiiiiiiie," Peggy whined. "What happened to the other votes—"

"I'll watch Mama Mia," Alexander cut in.

"Same," Hercules said. Peggy glared at them both.

"I have never seen it, so I vote for it as well," Lafayette said.

"Okay, I get it, let's just watch." Peggy slouched into the couch, but she wasn't mad for long because despite her earlier distaste for it Mama Mia wasn't actually terrible.

Eliza was absolutely thriving.

She was watching her favorite movie with her favorite people and her favorite boyfriend. Her only boyfriend. God, she had a boyfriend. That was just to much to handle. Every time she thought about him her chest hurt because holy shit. Ya' know?

And he was here at her house spending the night! And, wow, why wasn't she this excited earlier? Because of that off feeling. And it was still there, deep inside her. Something was wrong with Alex. She'd have to ask him about it later.

Eliza grabbed a handful of popcorn from Angelica and poured l of it in her mouth, relaxing into her boyfriends side. That something is wrong feeling creeped over her again, but she ignored it.

Later.

She'll figure this all out later.


warning, really long authors note ahead!!

hi friends!

I wrote the beginning part of this chapter a really long time ago, so the writing may be a bit different then the end (not saying I improved,,, at all. I think I got worse but whatever lmao)

anyway I know it's been a hot second since I worked on this, or any of my stories, but I just want to say I'm feeling so much better (mentally) now! I think I was just in a really bad place and I just couldn't write for a while.

sorry about that!

anyway, hopefully I'll be more active again so I can finish up this fanfic and give you the writing that you guys deserve!

I'm sad to say that I am not in the Hamilton fandom anymore, but I still want to finish these fanfics. I owe to you guys and to myself, so that I feel accomplished and happy with my work.

sorry if none of this makes sense lol. basically, I hope that you enjoy the story still!

also, thank you all for your kind and encouraging words, and I hope this chapter is to your liking!
