Laurens

I wake up to see that Alex isn't in bed with me. I get dressed and go to the kitchen. There's a note on the counter.

Left about 6 a.m. Ttyl ~ A.H.

Does he just carry paper around with him? The fuck? My phone vibrates on the counter and I check it.

Lexi 💖💜💙: We're gonna get together tonight at the Schuylers because Angelica's coming home. Wanna go?

🏳️‍🌈: why not

Lexi💖💜💙: Liza isn't gonna be home today. Can you come over? Pwease 🥺

After about five minutes, he finally opens the door. He pulls me inside and quickly shuts the door.

"Is something wrong?" He seems stressed about something.

We sit on the couch together. "Eliza was mad when I got home, but she didn't ask where I went."

"Did you sleep okay last night?"

"Not really. I'm just paranoid about the baby and everything. And Liza wants to tell her parents and we're not even married so they're gonna disapprove."

"Don't think that way."

"But I know they're not gonna approve. And you know Angelica's gonna be pissed."

I hear a noise at the door. Fuck, Eliza's back. I scoot away from Alex right as the door opens. "Oh hey John," she says cheerfully. "Would you like to stay for a little bit?"

"I uh I have to go actually. I'll talk to you guys later."

"Wait, John, can I talk to you outside please?"
I nod and he follows me.

"Do you really have to go?"

"I don't want to be rude."

"It's alright."

"No. I have to go. I'll see you tonight, okay?"

He sigh. "Fine. I love you."

"I love you too." I kiss him quickly and get in my car.

                                     ~

"John!" Angelica screams and hugs me tightly.

"Hi Angie. How have you been?"

"Fine."

"How was London?"

She smiles and messes with the hem of her dress. "It's amazing! The London eye is so beautiful at night. And Buckingham palace is amazing!"

I smile lightly. "That's great Angie."

Suddenly Peggy runs up behind Angelica and jumps on her back. "Oh look it pink bitch and turtle thot."

"Nice to see you too Peggs,"Angelica says and pulls Peggy's hair.

"Ow. Pink bitch!" She runs back to the living room with Maria.

"We'll catch up later, right John?"

"Of course." She hugs me and walks over to her husband.

I sigh and take my drink from the table and head to the porch. Lafayette and Hercules walk in. "Hey John, you alright ?" Herc says and takes off his scarf.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just need some fresh air." They give each other a look and I push past them. I pull my coat tighter around my shoulders. Lean against the railing and look at the moon.

"Why are you out here by yourself?"

I turn around. "Hey Alexander."

He comes closer to me and hugs my waist. "Are you alright? You sound upset."

I rest my head on his shoulder. "I'm fine."

"No you're not. Somethings on your mind."

"I'm fine I promise."

"Don't lie to me. You-"

I cut him off by kissing him quickly. He tilts his head to deepen it.

"Alexander- What the hell?!" I pull away and see Eliza standing in the doorway. "Fuck."

"Eliza, it's not what it looks like!" Alexander tires to reason with her.

"Oh yeah, it's totally not my fiance making out with his best friend!"

"Then it's exactly what it looks like..."

I step forward. "Eliza,  please don't blame him. It's my fault. I kissed him first. I should take the blame, not him."

Her eyes tear up. "How long?" she asks, her voice breaking. "How long have you two been seeing each other?"

Alex takes a step towards her. "How long have you known?"

She rolls her eyes and crosses her eyes. "It's pretty obvious. All those nights when you were 'called back to work'. I'm not fucking stupid Alexander."

"I'm sorry Eliza..."

"Just shut up. We'll talk about it later." She goes back inside and slams the door.

"Fuck! John I'm so sorry."

I shake my head. "It's not your fault. I actually wanted to talk to you about this. W-we should break up..."

He looks away from me. "You're right..."

"I'm sorry. I'll talk to you later, okay?"

"Mhm." He hugs me and pulls away. "Bye Laurens." He goes back inside, leaving me by myself. I sigh and get in my car and drive to a bar.

                                                                                             ~

The bartender hands me my drink. I feel horrible. Alex and I shouldn't have even started dating again. We hurt Eliza and it's all my fault.

"Well, if it isn't John Laurens," a smug voice says behind me. I turn the chair around and see a face I'd never thought I'd see again. "F-Francis?"

A/N: if there is any typos/grammatical mistakes plz tell me. I just really didnt feel proofreading this. <3
