[Hiya! This is my new fanfiction, and my first ever Hamilton one. It's v inspired by Abi_Fanzel 's fantastic story "Adopted by Hamilton", which I couldn't put down for a moment. I won't copy her story, I want to create my own one. And since the topic is quite usual, I'll try to write the best I can to make it seem interesting. I'm also from Sweden, 14 years old, so I'll also try my best at writing it in English]

I sighed as I dashed my hand on the ancient alarm clock, it was at least 20 years old. I could barely remember last night, only punches and curse words. I picked up my phone, exactly 5:45. Good, right on time.

Yawning, I dragged myself to the bathroom, only to look in the mirror. My shrunken, green, eyes stared at me, shining of tiredness. My skin was even worse, dry and almost grey-looking. I shook my head. I did it for ten seconds, because I had to.
I walked into the shower, let the water pour downon me, only to let out a weak squeak as the cold liquid hit me. I kept my mouth shut, not wanting to wake them up.
They put the hot water on around 6 o'clock. But that's when it was theirs turn, so I couldn't do much about it.

Walking out after a 2 minute shower I quickly rolled the towel around me.

Go in there again. Otherwise your dear beloved mommy & daddy will die.

I threw the towel off me, sprinted into the shower and let the water punch me again. Stood there in exactly 2 minutes again, only to go out and feel my skin turning red.
I started shaking, the warm, old, towel not helping much. Put my clothes on as quickly as I could, feeling slightly better.

I sneaked out of the bathroom and saw my stepbrothers and stepsister on their way to the bathroom, forming a queue outside the door when Rachel sneaked in first, everyone glancing over to me as I walked pass them.
"It took a long time today, Ruth", the three step-siblings said, their eyes looking at me with pure hate.
"S-sorry", I stuttered under my breath.
"Apologies won't take you anywhere, sis", the oldest, Ansel, said, slapping me. I whimpered, but backed away quickly, leaving them laughing.

I walked down the stairs, my phone buzzing in my back pocket. That's my call for helping Mrs Lovell with breakfast. I sprinted down, only to see her already making the dough for the bread.
"Ruth, your late", she said looking away.
"I'm sorry. M-my alarm went off a bit late", I apologised, afraid.
"Start making the pancakes", Mrs Lovell said. I sighed, good. She wasn't angry at me.

As Mr Lovell came down at 7, everything was done. He gave his wife a kiss on the cheek, glanced over at me, giving an evil smile.
"Thank you, Sarah", he said, turning to his wife again. They were probably about to throw me out in two months, I could feel it. I couldn't really say that I wasn't looking forward to it. They wasn't that lovely after all. The bruise on my shoulder & the black eye told me otherwise.

Soon, everyone sat down at the table. Me, the last one. A took a bit of the loaf, and a glass of juice. I started reaching for the yoghurt, when Mr Lovell took it to in front of me.
"You don't need it, you've not earned it today. You were late", he said. I shrunk down, and nodded. Rachel whispered something to Warren, laughing. I looked away, ate my breakfast, just wanting to go away from this family. They were probably the worst one I'd ever been in.

Walking 15 meters behind my siblings, as I'd been instructed to do.

"We don't want anyone to know that you're our step sister", Rachel said.
"Okay. I have your surname now, and the teacher will probably introduce me as your step sister...", I tried to protest. Ansel kicked me hard on my leg.
"Well then, don't go near us, freak"

I picked up my phone, put my headphones in and pressed shuffle.
I saw a text from Georgia,

-> Hey, Ruth, Mr Vector is sick and they can't find a substitute, so our school day's over at 2:30 !!

I smiled, even though Mr Vector was my favourite teacher.

<-YAS! What about coffee at Starbucks?

I instantly regretted texting her that, because I knew her answer.

-> ah, sorry, I've already planned on meeting up with someone. And I've got tons of homework too

No surprise. Counted the road stones, not placing my foot on a crack.

<- Okay! Have fun c:

I entered the school building, and walked up to my locker. Slammed my backpack in it, and pulled my English folder out, took a pen, and a eraser. I walked in my own bubble to the classroom, and being the first person to enter, I sat down at the chair, right in the back.

My English teacher rushed inside about five minutes later, nodded at me welcoming. The rest of my classmates ran in after that, one by one, and no one decided to sit by my side. Not even Georgia, the girl who's got the Mission by the Principal to take care of me. She probably hated me, to be honest.

And so, my day began. I ran from classroom to classroom, hoping no one would see me. My thoughts seemed to work, but after two lessons I bumped into Ansel & Warren's gang. It was only two years between them, but you could barely notice it. Warren's muscular body made him look older than Ansel, and every girl in my class probably had a crush on both of them. Crushing into Warren's shoulder by accident, he looked at me black hearted, and grabbed my arm. I whined, as he punched me in the side. Another bruise to the collection.
"S-sorry", I said when he let go of me, and kept running away.

At 2:30 everybody cheered, including me, happy that my siblings didn't go in this class. I was meant to be home at 5, and I didn't want to go back this early. I packed my stuff and started walking into town. Not to have a coffee - I didn't really have the money to get that. No, I wanted to sit by the coffee shop, watching the people. Wonder how they felt about their coffee. Picturing their daily life.
As I was on my way into town, headphones plugged in, I saw a mildly big crowd. People seemed to walk there for some reason. I decided to go over, and realised it was the Richard Rogers Theater.
"Aha, the musical about Hamilton", I said out loud without thinking about it, and I stopped while being in the crowd. More people joined, and it kept on filling up. Soon, there was about five meters til I could get out, everywhere there were fans.
I'd heard people in school talk about it, Georgia and her friends usually listened to it during their lunch break. I had it on my playlist too, and it was good. Real good. I couldn't really stop listening to it. But why people were right here, at this time, I had no idea why.

After a span of about 8 minutes the doors opened, and I realised that in front of me, stood Lin Manuel Miranda and Daveed Diggs. People started pushing more and more, giving me less space to breathe. They kept on pushing, now screaming too. I didn't push, but I screamed. Half by the realisation that the cast stood just a few meters from me, and the other half by the panicky feeling I had. I needed to get out of there.
"Hi everyone! Y'all having a good day?", Lin said, laughing happily, as he glanced over the crowd. Everyone shouted back in response.
"Good! Well then, what are we gonna do today then?", he asked Daveed, standing beside him.
"GUNS... AND SHIPS", Daveed shouted.
"So you guys have the 'Lafayette' & 'Hanilton' line, 'kay?", Lin said, only to continue "aaaand I'll take Mr Burr's lines"
"Y'all ready?...", Daveed called out, but his voice drifted away as people started to press themselves forward. I desperately looked around me, only wanting to get out, as I started sweating and reality flinging in front of my eyes. I breathed heavily, shaking. The music started playing a long way away from me. A girl turned around, put her hand on my shoulder.
"Hey! You okay?", her voice sounded so distant, like her lips was the only thing that moved. I nodded, but other people turned around, trying to ask me stuff.

That's when my legs gave up, and I fell to the stone ground. My head hitting it, people jumping away from the lifeless body that was me, that I couldn't control.
They looked at me, shouting to each other. I couldn't comprehend what everyone was saying. I lost control over my breathing, the world getting smaller and smaller.

My mind went pitch black instead, all in slow motion.
