Alex's POV

Today was the day. I was getting married. Not 10 years ago I was in a basement writing for my life in the middle of a hurricane. But look at me now!! I'm in my home with mah dudes getting ready.

Herc was admiring his work in my coat. He really is talented. Laf was wiping away tears in the corner mumbling something in French. John was smiling. It wasn't an ear to ear or a happy smile. No this was more of a sad smile. He came up to me and gave me a hug.

Why'd he smell like- cinnamon... his bushy hair was in my face and since he was taller than me he was leaning on me. I struggled to stay upright but when he pulled away, I saw tears in his big doe eyes. "What's wrong Laurens?" I asked genuinely.

He nodded and replied, "I-I-I'm just s-s-so pro-ud of you" he sobbed. He took a second and cleared his thought and said in a more clear but still sad voice, "you did it Alex. You got the girl. You got her helpless. You got her for the rest of your life. And you looked good doing it. I just can't believe the tombcat can get married?!" He smiled.

I would've been good with that and all, if he wasn't lying. I've been studying law and living near and around lying people all my life. I know a lie when I see one.

I sighed, "laurens, do not throw away your shot"

Angie's POV

I was standing there in my white dress. It was even puffier than I imagined. Alexander's mother stood over me, fixing my veil. Peggy was doing my hair. Eliza just sat in a corner.

She gave me a sad smile. I wonder what's wrong.

Alexander's mother stood back. She put one hand on her mouth and the other on her chest and gasped. "My my, you look beautiful! Oh dear, my son gets to marry you?! Keep him in line alright?" She laughed with her eyebrows raised.

"Why thank you mrs Hamilton, you are very kin-"

"OH NO NO!! You must call me mom" I smiled at the sudden outburst. We have each other a hug and she went to get seated. It was just us three.

The Schuyler sister. Angelica, Peggy, and Eliza. "Oh gosh, where did the time go! It seemed only yesterday that Peggy was throwing worms she found at the garden and Eliza and I were learning to embroider. Mother was such a wonderful teacher wasn't she?" I sighed. We all teared up at the mention of mother. Tears started to fall down my face.

Eliza wiped them away and held my cheeks. "Oh angie. Mother is here. She's with us. She is smiling down because you are about to get married. She always talked about our wedding day. Now it's finally here. I don't think she would miss it" silent tears flowed down all of our cheeks. "That's Why your wearing mother's veil. So you know she's here."

We cried for a while. After about a minute Peggy added, "You were never good at embroidery anyways. You would always poke your finger or me when I threw a worm." Peggy always knew how to lighten the mood. I don't know how I could ever live without my sisters.

Eliza's POV.

I watched as my beautiful sister made her way down the isle. I just wanted to reach out and hug her.

I was seated in between Peggy and a man named John laurens. He was cute not going to lie. He had freckles EVERYWHERE and a light blush. His long bushy hair rested in a ponytail in the back of his head. Then I looked at his eyes. They were gorgeous but sad. No tears but still sad. He looked like he had just lost a loved one.

I looked back at the alter. The Preist then said, "any objections?"

I didn't even realize it but I was raising my hand, slowly, quietly. I looked at it and saw john's hand was also moving up. He looked horrified at it. Then we made eye contact. He seemed to be examining my face. A loose smile appeared on his face.

Our hands were still raising and there was still silence. Suddenly, I felt a hand slap mine down and johns too. I looked and saw a horrified looking Peggy. She gave me a look that said >we'll talk later< and held my hands so it wouldn't happen again.

I looked at Laurens. He looked at me. There was just us.

A distant voice said you may kiss the bride and a moment later applause sounded.

WHAT DID I JUST DO?!

John's POV

"Any objections" I realized I was subconsciously raising my hand. NO!!

I need to get over this. Alexander is married. I can't love him.

I then looked past my head and saw a girl next to me with the same horrified expression on her face as her hand raised. We locked eyes

Her face was pale but pink. Her skin looked soft. Her hair was glossy and smooth. Then I looked at her eyes.

Sad. They were very sad. They looked like she just lost something she loved. They were full of regret and envy.

This girl is beautiful.

I think I love this girl

I was lost in my thoughts so I didn't realize that my hand was still slowly raising until it was smacked down by a young girl with big brown eyes, curly hair, and an angry expression. She looked at the beautiful girl and then back at me.

The angry girl then held the pretty girls hands down and the pretty girl looked at me. Oh my god. She was gorgeous. A sweet smile crossed her beautiful lips and I almost melted.

Time skip brought to you by shower thoughts.

Eliza's POV

I felt great honestly. The second we stood up from the pews, John turned to me and bowed. "My name is John Laurens. Who do I have the pleasure?" He asked flirtatiously.

I was blushing mad. "I'm-" I couldn't even finish before Peggy slapped the back of my head. "In a lot of trouble that what she is." My favorite younger sister growled.

I turned back to John and squeeked, "Eliza Schuyler!! I live with Angelica write me" and with that I let peggy drag me away.

I looked back and John was staring after me his mouth agape. I giggled. He is so cute!!

Peggy pulled me up 2 flights of stairs and into her room and sat me down. She towered over me even the though I'm taller, she was standing. "Why the hell were you going to object" she demanded.

I crossed my arms and looked away, "I don't know what your talking about" I was caught off guard when Peggy threw a book at me. Damn she wasn't playing around-

"I said- WHY THE FUCK DID UOU ALMOST OBJECT" I rubbed my head and glared.

I can't tell her... it's not that I don't trust her it's that I don't want to make drama. "Object what?! A dictionary being hurled at my skull? I'm pretty sure everyone would object to that!" I groaned exasperated.

With that Peggy held up an incredibly heavy looking thesaurus but I was quicker. I grabbed the book and stood up only to fall over. That book was heavier than it looked.

Peggy pinned me to the ground.

"Ok ok fine. I may have had a major crush on Alex but then Angelica fell for him and I just couldn't do that to her. I love her but I don't know what came over me. I couldn't control myself and please don't tell her."

Peggy's eyes widen. "Oh shit" she exclaimed getting off of me.

I gave her a duh look and got up.

She started walking out the door back to the wedding but got hit by the thesaurus. I have good aim-

Johns POV

Laf approached me at the after party and sighed. "Im sorry mon Ami"

I looked confused. Then I remembered that I had told him how I felt about Alex when I was drunk at some point.

"I really don't mind. Besides, I met someone." Laf raised his eyebrows.

"Her name is Eliza Schuyler. And mark my words I'll marry her one day" laf laughed. (See what I did there)

"Besides," i said raising my voice so herc and Alex could hear me, "if the tombcat can get married" we all cheered.
"There's hope for our ass' after all"

Laf interjected, "RAIse a GlaSS to FREEDOM!!" We all cheered again, clearly already drunk.

"SOMETHING YOU WILL NEVER SEE AGAIN" herc commented and we all laughed

"No matter what she tells you" I finished looking up at the sky. I wonder what Eliza is doing right now. We all left after aaron came. He's a stick in the mud.

All I did that night was think about Eliza. How can someone I just met,
