Hello again, it's been a long time since i've uploaded, I sincerely apologize, I've been busy. (Also I lost my laptop charger and had to order a new one,) ANYWAY! I am going to reply to a guest, bc I can't PM them, so, just skip the next paragraph if you aren't said person, (i'm not gonna assume genders ok?)
Reply: I completely forgot about the flower girl! I've watched a couple bootlegs and I've seen that. Thank you for telling me what you would like added to the story, I am more than happy to put those details! With that being said, I will watch and add details from the show. Thank you so much for reviewing!
So, I went back and read the previous chapters and CRINGED too many times, just at things I had the characters say, and random things that were in the author's notes, how much song was in between dialogue, (I need to work on that) please PM me or review with ANY suggestions on how I can improve, after all, this is for you guys, why not adjust it to how y'all see fit?
Anyway, sorry for the long author's note, and how long its been since I updated! I do not own Hamilton.
Chapter fourteen: Wait For It
Theodosia writes me a letter ev'ry day.
"Hold up, Burr gets his own song?" Jefferson spat, jestering to the basically empty stage, "Burr" was the only named character on stage. Everyone almost forgot Thomas was there… almost.
I'm keeping her bed warm while her husband is away.
He's on the British side in Georgia.
He's tryin' to keep the colonies in line.
But he can keep all of Georgia.
Theodosia, she's mine.
Love doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners
And the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep loving anyway.
We laugh and we cry and we break
And we make our mistakes.
"Aaron, this is a beautiful song," Eliza said leaning around George and Peggy to see him.
Burr nodded.
And if there's a reason I'm by her side
When so many have tried
Then I'm willing to wait for it.
I'm willing to wait for it.
My grandfather
Was a fire and brimstone
preacher, (Preacher, preacher, preacher)
But there are things that the homilies and hymns
Won't teach ya. (Teach ya, teach ya, teach ya)
My mother was a genius, (Genius)
My father commanded respect. (Respect, respect)
When they died they left no instructions.
Just a legacy to protect.
"Oh," Peggy sighed, feeling sorry for Burr, both her parents had out lived her, she didn't know what it was like to lose them.
Death doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep living anyway.
We rise and we fall and we break
And we make our mistakes.
And if there's a reason I'm still alive
When everyone who loves me has died
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa." Alex said looking at Burr who was nervously chewing his fingernails. "Was there someone?"
"My Theodosias," Burr whispered not peeling his eyes from the stage.
"Yes, but this is before your daughter, before you married Theodosia."
Burr ignored Alex's remarks
I'm willing to wait for it.
(I'm willing to wait for it.)
Wait for it (Wait for it)
Wait for it (Wait for it)
I am the one thing in life I can control
(Wait for it Wait for it)
(Wait for it Wait for it)
I am inimitable I am an original
(Wait for it Wait for it)
(Wait for it Wait for it)
I'm not falling behind or running late
(Wait for it Wait for it)
(Wait for it Wait for it)
"This is powerful." Eliza muttered.
"This is utterly amazing," Angelica said in awe.
"This isn't fair!" Peggy pouted, seeing her actress back in beige clothing to blend in with the ensemble.
Her sisters laughed. "Dearest, you died young, you may have saved little Catherine's life, but this is about Alex, and apparently Burr." Angelica chuckled pointing to the stage.
Peggy's lip curled in her pout and watched with a fiery gaze as her actress danced about, singing along.
I'm not standing still
I am lying in wait Wait
Wait Wait
Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb (Climb Climb Climb)
He has something to prove he has nothing to lose
(Lose Lose Lose Lose)
Hamilton's pace is relentless
He wastes no time (Time Time Time)
What is it like in his shoes?
Alex gasped. "Is he jealous?"
"No, no no no," Burr started.
Hamilton doesn't hesitate.
He exhibits no restraint.
He takes and he takes and he takes
And he keeps winning anyway.
He changes the game.
He plays and he raises the stakes.
"I think he's jealous!" Alex said in a joking tone.
"No no no no no no," Burr continued.
"Oui! Mon ami, Aaron, you should know by now! Ignore Alex and he will stop!" Lafayette said gesturing to John to slap a hand over Alex's mouth.
"That is, if Jefferson doesn't beat him up first," John said watching Thomas clutch the step beneath him in anger.
And if there's a reason
He seems to thrive when so few survive
Then Goddamnit I'm willing to wait for it.
(I'm willing to wait for it…)
I'm willing to wait for it...
Life doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes.
And we keep living anyway
We rise and we fall and we break
We fall and we make our mistakes.
And if there's a reason I'm still alive
When so many have died
Then I'm willin' to- then I'm willin' to-
Wait for it... Wait for it… Wait for it….
Wait for it... Wait for it… Wait for it…
Wait for it… Wait for it… Wait for it…
Wait for it… Wait for it… Wait…
"Wow, everyone in this has such beautiful vocals!" Remarked Eliza.
"Especially you!" Angelica cried.
"And Peggy!" Eliza looked at her disappointed sister. "Why don't you tell the kids your story of bravery!"
Peggy shook her head.
"Aaron, I didn't realize you could sing," James Madison spoke up. The dead all jumped, forgetting he was there. Madison's remark was loud, especially for him, he had finally lost the cold being dead.
"Oh, uh, thank you?" Aaron asked, "how are we supposed to respond to these? Like, it is us, but it's not us, what am I to say?"
Everyone shrugged as the familiar sound of a cannon boomed.
