James' New Friend

by slug-cat

How the JeffMads ship began. After a tough breakup with Alex, James meets a new kid named Thomas. It seems as if they are meant to be, but is it all too good to be true? (Possibly some Lams included later) My first fanfic please enjoy. I don't own anything of Hamilton and all names are just based on history.

10. Chapter 10

A/N: Sorry about the last chapter, it was supposed to be part of ch 8. Anyway, this is a short interlude into Alex's half of the breakup, better lams will come later. Enjoy!

Alex felt bad about the fact that he had to break up with James but he knew it was the right thing to do. He swallowed his emotions got out a quill and wrote. He wrote the most short, to the point, and most un-hurtful letter he could. He folded in up into an envelope and gave it to Aaron, who was also at the library, two tables away from him.

"Don't read this. Just give this to James, tell him that I hope we can still be friends." Alex said. Aaron took the envelope. He opened his mouth to say something but then closed it. Whatever was going on between then, he was glad to stay in the middle and not on a side.

Giving the letter to Aaron to be delivered made Alex much calmer, things would be alright. He pulled out his favorite notebook and quill and began to write. He released his emotions onto the page writing about everything he felt at the moment. How he was sad to be breaking up with James, but he knew it was the right way for things to work. How he was excited about his new internship. And, how he was excited about his new boyfriend. That, he realized, more than anything else was the reason for the breakup. Alex never would have wanted to have James find him cheating on him, so a breakup was fitting and James would never have to know it was because of John that they had broken up. As he finished writing all that down his hands began to ache. He read over what he had written and realized that, in the given time and place - NYC, 1789 there are lots of people named John. Just to clarify he wrote, My new boyfriend, named John, is NOT John Adams, because there'd be something incredibly wrong with me if he was. He is also not John Handcock because, along with John Adams, he's straight. Anyway… to get to the point: John Laurens with the most amazing, adorable, and lovable person in US history (according to me of course). Alex picked up his things and left-he was late for his third date with John.
