Burr POV

I didn't know how to react. I mean I knew Lee was a scum bag but I never thought he would cheat at something like this.

To be honest, the only reason I sided with Lee was to spite Alex. You can't blame me?!

I cannot explain the fear I felt when Alex pulled out that gun. I mean our seconds conversation didn't go very well and Alex is absolutely one to hold a grudge. But he's a soldier with a marksman ability so if he wanted to shoot me he would have.

When Lee collapsed, I knelt down to see if he would survive this. He may be a scum bag but I don't have to be one. He had no pulse, wasn't breathing, this man was shot dead.

Suddenly I saw the General's horse coming closer and closer. "This should be fun" I muttered.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" I cringed. I didn't want him to think this was my idea. "Mister Burr- get a medic for the ex general"

I hated interrupting but I had to. "Sir, Lee isn't breathing, has no pulse, and has already lost to much blood to survive"

He nodded and told me to bring him back to camp and write a letter to his family. I did as I was told and left Alex to get scolded by his father. Ha !! I like that!!

Washington POV

Burr rode off with a dead man on his lap. I turned to see Alexander holding John. There was blood and I couldn't tell who was injured.

"Wha-"

"Lee cheated." I was taken aback by the anger in his voice.

"You were ordered not to-" interrupted again. Does this boy know who the hell he is talking to?!

"John and Lee dueled and before the count of fire lee turned around and shot John in the shoulder" I furrowed my brow.

"Stand when you address me" I commanded. I didn't like not seeing his face.

Hamilton stayed where he was but looked up at me. Tears and blood mixed on his face. He still looked angry.

"Then tell me why Lee was pronounced dead and carried off to the morgue?" I deepened my voice.

Hamilton didn't answer. I looked down and saw a gun in his hand.

Time skip brought to you by BBQ sauce on mah titties

Alex POV

Lee got what was coming for him.

It was a week after the duel and the Schuyler sisters arrived yesterday.

Peggy had grown worried because Burr refused to leave his tent and wasn't eating. Angelica spent her days tending to her sister. Eliza was a wreck. You would never see her not crying. Angelica often stole worried glances at me. I didn't think of it. I spent my days working and practicing my aim at combat. I refused to take a break.

As for John, he hasn't woken up. The nurses always say he will be perfectly fine yet he is still unconscious.

My thoughts were interrupted by Burr. I was shooting the center of the target even though zoned out. Yeah I'm that awesome(debatable). Burr looked excited.

"We just got called to the medical tent!! John is to wake up soon" I dropped the gun and sped to the tent. His bed was surrounded by my friends and Burr. Angelica, Eliza, Peggy, herc, Laf, and the other mean potato were all waiting.

I sped to his bedside. Eliza and Angelica followed and so did Washington who I didn't notice.

The general had been avoiding me and my letters. He hasn't really spoken to me since the duel. I could tell he would soon. I mean who could resist.

(A/N ok Im sorry but tell me that Alex isn't a self centered dramatic brat. I dare you)

Suddenly Jackie's eyes fluttered open. He looked at me first and smiled. Suddenly as if Pain hit him, he winced and grabbed his shoulder.

Eliza's eyes were already tearing and she was leaning over him. I honestly had no idea they were a thing. She better not hurt him!! Not the time Alex. Sorry Alex.

Angelica buried her head in my chest and wrapped her arms around my torso. I pulled my arm around her waist and pulled her close in a comforting way as I stroked her hair. I felt her sobbing. I didn't look away from Jackie.

Peggy has her hand on Burrs as he looked guilty at the ground. She rested her head on his shoulder. It was adorable. Wait. No. Burr is ew. Washington just looked solemnly At John, and herc was crying too.

Laf was trying to be strong but obviously wasn't.

Jackie was still holding his shoulder but then he let go and relaxed. He started laughing, "why is everyone so sad. I'm here aren't I?" I smiled and Eliza let out a sad laugh. She stoked his hair and held his hand.

Why did this upset me? I don't know but either way I pulled Angelica tighter.

Jackie tried to sit up but Eliza was faster. She pushed him down with the brute strength of a very angry rabbit. "I swear to the lord above us, if you sit up I will send you home in an instant." She stayed with fury still holding him down.

I laughed a little and so did John. "You can't do that, sugar cube!!" Eliza looked at Washington and smiled sweetly.

"Nope she can't but I sure as hell can. Now lay the fuck down or I'll make you" Washington chuckled. We all laughed at that.

I was just so happy!! My Jackie I MEAN NO NOT MINE- ughhh. JOHN was back. He was okay.

John POV

I laughed at what Washington had said but honestly I was terrified. He was a lot bigger than me okay?

Then I realized, I had to do the things I wanted to do before I die again!!

Everyone was talking and Eliza was looking at me. Lovingly.

I pulled her down and I bet she thought I was gonna kiss her because she closed her eyes. I pulled her down farther and whispered in her ear, "can you hear me" she slightly nodded.

"Eliza, my dearest, I love you. I've loved you since I first time I layed eyes on you. I don't plan on ever stopping loving you and I would really like it if you could count on me." She pulled away with a gasp and a hand over her mouth. I stuck out my bottom lip and widened my eyes. "Pweeeese"

She just stood there. She was pretending to think about it. She leaned down and I thought she would whisper something but she kissed me. Like a deep kiss. My eyes widened and then closed. She kept deepening the kiss and I kissed back.

She pulled away to catch her breath and the said "I'll think about it" with a smirk. The then walked out the tent door with a wave.

I was speechless. What just happened. Since when was little Eliza Schuyler a player? I then realized the room was silent.

"Well I guess I was in the room where that happened-" Burr mumbled

Then I heard loud clapping from herc, Laf, Angie, and Peggy. Washington chuckled and left the tent. Burr joined in but not as enthusiastically. Alex just stood there. Smiling. He looked kinda sad but the he started clapping and it was whatever.

Honestly I didn't care at all. In fact I wanted to do a bow but realized that eliza must've tied me down with her scarf while we were kissing.

What did I get myself into...

(Me: a scarf)
