-Chapter-6-

-Rachel pov-

"The rehearsal was amazing and so far she has been too!" I give a small nod to our Hamilton "Rachel you seem out of it"

"I am fine John" I look across the room and see Kate talking it up with some crew girls "She can interact with us"

"You seem to forget you were them too at one point" I look at John confused "Look Rachel she is new ok? She has never done any of this before and she wants to experience it all! Let her explore the wonders and be friendly with the crew here"

"Yeah ok" He walks away and I look back at Kate "I am the crew too"

"But she is just a friend of your friends" I jump and turn to see a evil smirking Jess "Boo"

"I should hit you for that one" She chuckles and I sigh "Look I am just saying that Kate is new to town and I have not gotten to know her"

"By avoiding her?" I glare and she puts her hands up in surrender "Look I am not judging ok? Just...do not outcast her ok? She seems like such a sweet, innocent girl Rach"

"I will keep that in mind" She sighs but nods "How is the leg?"

"Doc said it is actually broken and I will actually need to be out for two months" My eyes go wide and she shrugs "Never was a history buff anyways"

"But you still wanted this part so bad!" She shrugs again and I shake my head "I am sure if we try we can find a way"

"Let the kid have her moment" Jess use her crutches to move away "Talk to you later!"

"Bye" I look down at my drink "Why am I the one always alone?"

"You know I think that is cause you are afraid" I look up to see Lin smiling in front of me "If I may Madam Berry?"

"By all means" I take a quick drink "Fill me in Sir Miranda"

He chuckles and I smile some "You always keep your friends from auditions and from shows" He points at me "I think you are afraid of something that happened once, happening all over again"

"No I am not" He raises a eyebrow which causes me to sigh "I lost a best friend because of a petty argument over her going for a part I wanted"

"You can not always be afraid of past mistakes Rachel" He places a hand on my shoulder "You know I think the microphone works if you want to express how you feel right now"

"Thanks" I take a deep breath and nod "I think I will"

I slowly make my way over and John starts the cheering. I chuckle as I look out at the cast. These people have become like a family to me. I look at Kate and take a deep breath.

-Rachel singing-

I got enough on my mind

That when she pulls me by the hair,

She hasn't much to hold onto.

She keeping count on her hand:

One, two, three days that I've been sleeping on my side.

I finish kissing my death,

So now I head back up the steps

Thinking about where I've been.

I mean the sun was never like this.

I wanna feel with the seasons.

I guess it makes sense.

'Cause my life's become as vapid as

A night out in Los Angeles,

And I just wanna stay in bed

and hold you like I used to.

You know that I am home.

So, darling, if you love me,

Would you let me know?

Or go on, go on, go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?

For once, for once, for once I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong.

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?

She got enough on her mind

That she feel no sorrow.

I let my fate fill the air,

So now she rolling down the window.

Never been one to hold on

But I need a last breath.

So I ask if she remembers when

She used to come and visit me.

We were fools to think that nothing could go wrong.

Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?

For once, for once, for once I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?

I think I kinda like it but I might have had too much.

I'll move back down

To this western town.

When they find me out,

Make no mistake about it.

I'll move back down

To this western town.

When they find me out,

Make no mistake about it.

I'll move back down

To this western town.

Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?

Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?

For once, for once, for once I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?

I think I kinda like it but I might have had too much.

I'll move back down...

"I am sorry I have been so shallow at times getting to know some of you crew members" I look at the stage crew, lights crew, and our sound people "So here is a very late thank you! We would never be able to do what we do without you!"

"We would not have a job without all of you!" A lady from the stage crew raises her glass "To Hamilton and family!"

"TO HAMILTON AND FAMILY!"

I look to see Kate smiling at me. I am going to make that girl mine even if it kills me.
