A/N: hello, it's been a while, I kinda liked leaving it on a cliffhanger tho :) and, this chapter is weird, it's not Alex's POV the entire chapter. Enjoy!

The boy was falling and it felt as if it was in slow motion. Should I jump with him or stay up here? UGH, mind work, work, work Angelica- concentrate- wait, no, what would the Schuylers do?

Angelica would- it really depends

Eliza would jump with him, protecting him and using her smarts to not get as hurt as a normal person

Peggy, she would jump off anyways, star-fishing the ground like a crazy person- she is a crazy person....  Concentrate, John!....

Yeah, Imma jump I thought with enough time to slide off the bark and grab the boy, I wrapped my arms around him, our faces close- nope, John, concentrate. I looked down, my mistake, now I'm hurt, my leg is too painful to not scream, so I scream. I feel blood trickling out of my mouth and some pain in my skull.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" I scream, the boy was currently on top of me, so hopefully I softened his fall. The boy started to twitch and he opened his eye, once it opened it widened and he jumped off me. 

"H-hi.." I say, my voice cracked and hoarse

Alex's POV

I open my eye and feel myself on a comfortable surface, I look down and see I'm on the boy I saved. He had blood trickling down his mouth. I jumped off him, frightened. What happened, he shouted 'HELLO?!' and then I said 'hi' and then he asked who I was and then I started saying 'I don't know' and then he said 'Are you Alexander' My eyes widened even more, Alexander, was that my name?

"H-hi.." The boy said, his voice cracked and sounded hoarse. I realized that this freckled boy was the one who shouted before the 'WOOOO' and he's the daredevil teenager. The boy started to smile once my eyes became- not wide. 

"Uhh, hi?" I replied, my voice dry as sand itself. "Why did you cushion my fall?" I asked, hoping he wouldn't hit me and say that he would never do that and that I was crazy.

"B-because it's the right thing to do," He said, he tried to get up but I got on my knees right next to him and signaled for him to stay down.

"No, don't get up yet, I need to get you to the fort, I'll be a second. S.T.A.Y  H.E.R.E," I said, signaling with my hand for him to wait while walking backwards, I quickly turned and ran to the other side of the sycamore, pulled on the thin but strong grass, the Polly-System came down, it could hold a lot of weight. Once it was down, I ran back to the boy. (the pully-system is a wood platform that if you full the grass will lower or go higher depending on where your pulling)

"Back already, you miss me?" He chuckled and I felt some heat rise to my cheeks.

"N-no, now I'm gonna have to carry you to the system, so... Don't make it awkward please," I mumbled. I never thought talking to humans would be so easy, I always thought I'd hide behind Alex- Alex, where is Alex? Oh no, I left him- no, he can fly, it's fine. My thoughts spiraled up as I pulled the boy up on my shoulders, he was about 2-3 inches taller than me and also painfully heavier. 

"I think I can use my right leg, so you can rest a little easier." The boy said after I took 3 steps, I sighed in relief and he let me go, now he was standing with his arm around my shoulder as we slowly walked towards the tree, using me for support.

"So, what's your name?" I asked, hoping he wouldn't ask mine.

"John, John Laurens," 'Laurens' smiled, looking down at me. "What about you? Is your name Alexander?" Laurens asked.

"I-I honestly don't know," I sigh, Laurens gives me a worried glance. 

"So, Laurens, when did you get here, I've been here for about 3 weeks," I said, Laurens gave me another worried glance.

"Please, call me John, and I got here today," He said.

"Ok, Laurens," I replied. Laurens laughed for a full 30 seconds, His laugh is so cute-no, you just met him today! Be serious, he could never like you back- 

"Hey, umm, what can I call you? James, Alexander, Jack? Heh, sorry, I read that letter that your mom sent you. How 'bout I call you Hamilton!" Laurens asked.

"H-Hamilton, where have I heard that before?" I mumbled, looking at the dirt below my feet. I looked back up.

"Sure," 

"Well then, Hamilton, were at the tree, where do we go next?" Laurens asked me, looking at the sycamore in front of us.

"O-oh, over here," I lead him to the Polly-System and set him down. 

"Okay, let's do this," I mumble to myself. I start to pull on the grass and we gradually go an inch higher, suddenly a foot, no, two! I let go of my grass to see Laurens pulling us up like it's barely a challenge. I go back to pulling on my grass and we make it to the fort. 

"C'mon, get up Laurens," I give him my hand and we manage to get on the fort.

"Lay down," I demand, pointing at the bed of leaves. He nods and we walk towards the bed, he lays down and I go searching through my fruit, vegetables and herbs and I find what I'm looking for, the rare Marigold. A flower that can heal wounds faster, I made it a powder and put it in pear juice that I like.

I grab the powdered Marigold and pear juice, both in different bowls, both with lids and tight enough to hold liquid, that's as tight as all of my bowls. I start to put the marigold powder in the pear juice and start mixing, after about a minute, it looks good, no visible powder, the drink now an orang-ey brown. 

"Laurens, drink this," I say, handing the bowl over to him, he looks at it, looking deep into its soul.

"E-everything Okay...?" I ask.

"Yeah, but what is this?" He says, pointing at the liquid.

"My favourite drink that contains healing herbs,"  I say. He takes a sip, I bite my lip (JK, Alex doesn't bite his lip, General-Washington and maybe That0neHamiltonFan will get it)

"Shouldn't you be drinking this too though?" He asks. 

"No, you have more pain and need healing. I'm fine." I stand up and turn around, but something grabs my wrist, I jump slightly and look behind me.

"Laurens, wha-" I start, I get cut off with Laurens shoving the drink into my mouth, the sweet liquid enters my mouth and I pick up the bowl from his hands, I try to hand it to Laurens, but he doesn't accept it.

"You need to too, I drank half of it, plus, it's your favourite drink, it's really annoying when a friend comes over and drinks your last favourite soda," Laurens says. I stand there, confused.

"What is a so.. da?" I ask, slightly tilting my head.

"How- Do you know what, when we get to New York-" Laurens starts, my eyes widen, Laurens reaches towards me, but I'm too far from his arms.

"D-did I do something wrong?" Laurens asked, worry clearly written all over his face. 

"N-New York..." I croak, New York, that's where my dad is- who is my dad? I don't know, maybe he can tell me, what about 'James'? He wanted to move there and be a 'businessman' since I think I'm a Hamilton, James would be my brother. I feel a tear roll down my dirty face.

"Br-brother.." I cry out.

"Come here, Hamilton," Laurens says, I obey, my hands still covering my eyes, I feel my eye patch falling off, oh well.

Laurens sits on his knees and I cry into his chest, his arms wrapped around me. Gosh, why am I such a crybaby, I don't even know if I am a Hamilton, if I have a brother or if I have a father. Gosh, I am so emotional. 

I take off my eye patch, Laurens takes out my ribbon and hands it to me, making sure I have it because it seemed like he knows that it's important to me, he starts petting my hair gently, telling me that everything's gonna be alright. I stop crying but can't move while sleep overtakes me.
