*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
Eliza jumped in surprise. She realized she had fallen asleep. That was a good thing. Alex usually thought she was sleeping, but she barely slept anymore.
"Alex? Who is it?" she asked groggily
"I think it's your sisters" he said as he walked towards the door.
"What?! No not yet! I'm a mess-" she exclaimed
Alex interrupted her. "Eliza, you look beautiful. Don't worry about it. They're your sisters!" he said.
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
"Eek! Nonononononoooo I'm not ready!" Eliza screeched, and ran into the bedroom before Alex could open the door. Eliza hid under the bed and hid her face. She heard the door creak open, and then voices.
"Alexander! HAYYYYYYY!" Peggy yelled
"H-hey Peggyl Long time no see!"
"Alexander. I am willing to forgive you, even after all these years, only if I get to do this one thing" Angelica said coldly
"Y-yeah?" Alex stuttered
Then Eliza heard a slap and a laugh
Turns out Angelica bitch slapped him REALLY hard. And then she and Peggy laughed.
"Now I forgive you" she said. "Wait- where's Eliza?"
"She's right- wait, where did she go? ELIZAAAAAA" he called
"Shitshitshitshitshit" she muttered
She heard the floor creak slowly, and the covers above her move.
And there was Alex's smiling face.
"Eliza, come on. Your sisters are here" he said, and grabbed her hands, trying to pull her out from under the bed.
"Fine..." she muttered
Alex grabbed her hand and walked with her to the room where Angelica and Peggy were. Angelica and Peggy were talking, and when they saw Eliza and Alex walk up to them, they looked at her and ran towards her, hugging her tightly.
"Elizabeth! We missed you so much!!!" Angelica yelled
"Yeah!" Peggy yelled back.
Alex was standing to the backside of Angelica and Peggy, so he saw Eliza's face. That was one of the first times in forever, where he's seen Eliza smile like that. Like a delayed reaction, Eliza burst into tears, hugging her sisters tightly. They stayed like that for a good couple of minutes, laughing and crying.
They all sat down to talk and catch up. Eliza then noticed a ring on Angelica's finger...
"ANGELICA!" Eliza yelled in shock. Everyone jumped in surprise.
"What?!" Angelica yelled back, confused and concerned.
"Angie... your finger..."
Angelica looked down at her finger and laughed. Eliza and Alex looked at her confused
"Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you guys! I'm getting married!" she exclaimed. Eliza squealed and jumped into her older sister's arms.
"That's amazing, Angelica! What's his name?" Alex asked
"Um... you might not be very fond with it... but his name is Thomas. Thomas Jefferson?" she said carefully
"WHAT?!" Alex shouted while Peggy started laughing her head off.
"Yeah... Alex, he's changed, and he proposed to me about 2-3 months ago, so yeah..." Angelica said
Angelica turned to Eliza.
"So... Eliza. When he proposed, I was thinking about the wedding. I wanted you to be the maid of honor, but we all had no idea where you were. But now that I know, would you like to be my maid of honor?" she asked her younger sister
"Wha... really? Me? O-of course!" Eliza stuttered, surprised. She gave Angelica a huge hug.
" Wait- where is Thomas?" Eliza asked. "Shouldn't you guys be living with each other already?"
"Well, yeah. But father forbid us to live together until we're married. 'He doesn't want what happened to you to happen to me' " she said, putting air quotes
Eliza felt terrible. "I'm so sorry, Angelica" she said
"Liza, it's not your fault. Things happen" Angelica said, rubbing her hands on Eliza's back.
Peggy decided to jump in the conversation. "I just feel bad for Alex" she said
"Why?" Alex asked
"Cuz Thomas is gonna be your brother now!" she exclaimed, smirking
"WHAT?!" Alex yelled. "Wait... how?"
"Cuz your gonna marry Liza one day, right?" Peggy asked, laughing as Alex turned red
"Maaaaybe?" he said, and all for of the adults were laughing.
"Oh! Alex, your going to be the best man at my wedding too" Angelica informed
"W H A T ? ! ? !" Alex yelled for the third time, shocked.
"Well I made a deal with Thomas. If I found Eliza and made her the maid of honor, he would make you the best man! He didn't believe we would find you after all these years. But I won!" she exclaimed.
They all laughed as Alex went red. Eliza hugged Ale from the side and rubbed his shoulder to calm down. The girls "aweee" 'd
"I wish Pippa were here to see this" Eliza whispered as she leaned her head on Alex shoulder and started to tear up. The eldest and youngest of the Schuyler Sisters looked confused
"Who's Pippa?" Peggy asked
"M-m-m-" Eliza started, but the tears started to spill out.
"That's- that's our daughter" Alex choked out, starting to tear up as well.
"Oh..."
"Liza, its okay. I'm sure she's a great kid. She'll be fine" Angelica said reassuringly
"S-she is an amazing k-kid..." Eliza whispered
"Hey, Eliza. I think Pippa's a pretty name!" Peggy offered. Eliza smiled
"That's actually her nickname. Her full name is Phillipa Schuyler" she said
"Oh wow, that is pretty! I'm sure they'll find her. You can't give up yet" Angelica comforted
The two Schuyler Sisters continued to comfort their middle sister. Alex couldn't take anymore. He got up and started to walk towards the small balcony. Less then 5 minutes later, Eliza was by his side.
"Hey" she said
"Hey" he muttered back
"I know it's hard, to remember sometimes. But you gotta keep your head up" she whispered. (Some Andy Grammar for u guys :P)
"Heh. Now your the one who's making me feel better. It's usually the other way around" Alex chuckled
"What those Schuylers do to me!" she sighed. They both started laughing.
"She'll be ok, right Alex?" Eliza whispered
"Yeah. We'll find her. I promise she'll be ok" he whispered, and kissed her forehead.
How sad would it be if he broke that promise?
