Life is the one thing in life you can't control

1808

Theo's POV
The retirement party

The party was basically a small dinner party. People were laughing and talking about all of Hamilton's and My father's achievements. Everyone seemed so happy and excited that they were both taking a break.

"Hello Mr.Burr I am George clinton" This short dude says holding out his hand to shake

"Oh nice to meet you, you must be taking over my position"

"Ah yes yes indeed" He says walking away

"Not a very talkative person" I whisper

My dad giggles

"Yeah he is kindof old"

"Oh" I go to refill his drink and try to look for him but couldn't find him for at least 5 minutes

"Hey Philip have you seen my father?"

"No I haven't seen mine either"

"Maybe we should split up and look for them"

I nod and set his wine glass down and try to push past all the people. The house the party was held at was huge and I have been looking for at least an hour. I meet up with Philip again.

"I've asked my mom she said they were in the dining room last but I've checked and they weren't in there"

"Maybe they have been switching rooms as we have been moving"

Philip frowns looking down at his watch.

"Ok let's retrace our steps" He says
We split up again and I reach the library and see both of our Fathers sitting in chairs talking and reading.

"Oh finally I was literally playing a game of hide and seek"

"Oh Hey Theo long time no see"
My father waves

Philip finds us and sighs in relief.

"Yes finally"

"Philip can you get my fathers wine glass I think I left it on the kitchen counters"

He nods and places a kiss on my cheek then leaves.

"You enjoying the party Mr.Hamilton"

"Yes very much thanks are you?"

"Yes sir" I say sitting next to my father

It's quite for a moment while they are reading their books.

"I love you Pa" I say pecking a kiss on the cheek

"I love you too Theo"

We sit there smiling at each other until he suddenly holds his chest. He gets up looking like he is panicking.

"Burr?" Alexander asks worried

"It feels like heat" He whispers and coughs

He starts to fall.

"DAD!"

Alexander catches him. My dad closes his eyes as we both lift him up onto a couch. I put my head against his chest and freak out.

He's not breathing

HE'S NOT BREATHING

"HE'S NOT BREATHING HELP ME PLEASE" I sob

Tears start rolling down Alexander's eyes.

"Theo"

"DON'T CALL ME THEO HELP HIM"

"Theodosia I think we both know what happened and we knew it was going to happen sometime"

I start sobbing really hard into my dads chest.

He can't be gone

No

Please have this all be a dream!
