Hey guys, welcome to chapter 6. It's the 22nd of April or it is when writing this statement, I go back to school on the 24th so if the updates slow up I apologise. I really love the reviews I've been getting from you. I'm glad y'all are enjoying the story. Formal review replies at the bottom as always. Okay let's go.
Hami's POV~~
The week passed over without issue and I was released from the hospital. I still wasn't allowed to go back to college but at least I was free from the bleach white walls and the smell of disinfectant. I hadn't known before, but Hercules actually owned and drove a car. Which was convenient because my four rag tag friends refused to let me walk home. I wish they had let me, because being squashed between John Laurens and Aaron Burr was the last thing on my list of things to do. Lafayette had called shot gun leaving Aaron, John and I squashed into the back of the dodgy ford focus.
John was scrolling through tumblr on his phone, I don't know why he had tumblr he'd never struck me as the kind of person that would have one. He'd occasionally show me memes. Burr was staring out the window trying to ignore Lafayette whom was attempting to play I spy but kept forgetting the English names for the things he was seeing. He had to ask John what the English word was when he pointed at a lamp post. This went on for a while as the hospital was some distance from home. I guess that's why they didn't let me walk.
It took about half an hour for us to get back to town, no thanks to the traffic caused by a crash on the motor way between our town and the hospital. Hercules pulled into the small parking bay behind our building. Since I hadn't been to anyone else's dorm I was intrigued to find out that the three of them also lived in the building. When we got back into the dorm that Burr and I shared we decided to exchange stories for fun.
3rd person/general POV~~
Lafayette and Hercules roomed together and that's how they met. They bonded as Hercules taught Lafayette English until he was almost fluent. He'd came out to Hercules as pansexual and Hercules came out as bisexual to him. They kept helping each other out and started dating soon after.
John shared a room with a boy called James Maddison. James was openly gay as was John. But by the time they'd met James was already dating another boy from campus called Thomas. Thomas was panromantic but completely homosexual.
Thomas roomed with a boy called Charles Lee and from what John could gather in their brief meeting Charles had introduced himself as demiromantic and asexual. John though he was annoying but he wasn't a bad kid.
Hamilton himself decided to declare that he was bisexual but swung more towards boys. The four of them had asked Burr who claimed he didn't know. But they had a feeling he wasn't straight. Lafayette joked about it being a gaydar. (A/N according to word, gaydar is a word? It doesn't have the red line under it lmaoooo) They kept talking about little things about how they eventually met each other.
The three of them became friends in high school before Lafayette moved to New York. John sucked at maths and his maths teacher made Hercules and Aaron tutor him. They became friends and ended up spending most of the study sessions goofing off and once Lafayette moved to New York Hercules introduced him to the others, which then brought them to the day when Burr escorted Alex into the coffee bar. It felt like months but it had only been a week and a bit.
And that brought them to the present moment. The five of them sat around; three of them on the couch, and Hercules and Lafayette on the floor. Burr produced a sharpie from seemingly nowhere and suggested they sign Alexander cast. They all drew on it. Lafayette drew a little French flag and a little American flag under his name. Hercules drew a quick Disney logo under his. Aaron drew a little coffee cup with his name, a subtle nod to Alex's coffee addiction. And finally, John drew little hearts and a turtle whom he nicknamed squish the turtle as well as his name. Satisfied with their work they all went back to sitting around. Lafayette's phone started to ring.
"Peggy is calling me." Lafayette pointed out before answering the call. He put it on loudspeaker.
"Just a warning you're on loudspeaker!" John yelled.
"Likewise!" Angelica called from the background of Peggy's end.
"Who are you with?" Peggy asked.
"Laurens, Hami, Burr, Herc and obviously, myself. You?" Lafayette stated.
"Angie, Eli and Seabury." Peggy replied.
"So why are you calling?" Burr asked intrigued.
"Is it true that Hamilton got beaten up?" Peggy asked, her end went silent, the four parties waiting for an answer.
"Yeah, how'd you find out?" John said slowly. It was their turn to sit quietly waiting for a response.
"George Fredrick has been bragging about it all week. How didn't you know?" Eli answered.
"He knows we're friends with Hami they wouldn't want us to find out, even though we already knew it was him." Hercules said.
"That makes sense." Seabury piped up, before continuing "Is he okay?"
"I'm fine." Hamilton confirmed the four girls sighed a sigh of relief.
"He's got a broken wrist and a few broken ribs." Burr added.
"I swear I'm going to beat his ass until he's black and blue." Peggy hissed.
"Peggy, calm down." Angelica stated, she sounded calm but knowing her she was probably calculating where to hide the body.
"Do you guys wanna come over?" Burr finally asked.
"Yes!" A chorus of voices called from the other end. Burr gave them the address and the dorm number and ten minutes later there was a knock at the door. Lafayette got up and opened the door. The four of them came rushing in. They exchanged pleasantries and the four of them also signed Hamilton's cast.
Angelica wrote her name with a halo squiggled above it. Peggy's had little flowers surrounding it. Eli's signature was scrawled over a little brick wall she'd drawn and Sammy's had a little rainbow next to it.
Hamilton never enjoyed attention, he just wished the cast would come of sooner.
Well that's the end of this chapter, I'm not sorry for saying maths. Why don't Americans use the s? Also, can we just appreciate Anthony Ramos he's such a sweet child. Okayy Review time.
Guest: Thanks for calling this amazing, I hope you enjoy this update.
C.C.A.T ATTACK: Are those your middle names? I wish I had two. My name is Asti Louise.
Mary: I'm glad you and Laf are twinning on something.
Guest in chapter five: I apologise for not doing your review last chapter. I didn't see it because it was in my "needs accepting" list thing. I don't know if you're the same reviewer. Because there is two. But I'm glad you enjoyed my MCR reference on my profile.
Candymouse22: I don't imagine he did, he knew his dad left and all. But he never mentioned Alex being mute, but who knows what he knows ;)
Kittenanimegirl13: I'm glad you like Lams, otherwise you wouldn't enjoy this story 'ay.
LionHunter4867: I have no idea why they have so many problems I just kind of inserted as much angst as humanly possible!
