Peggy's P.O.V

Eliza cried in Angelica's chest as I patted her back. "HOW COULD HE DO THAT?!" Eliza yelled, her voice a little horse from crying. Her fiance , Alexander Hamilton , had cheated on her with this girl. He went as far as to publish it in the campus newspaper. The girl's name was Maria Lewis which sound oddly familiar but I just couldn't quite put my finger on it.

Oh well. "Eliza, i'm going to go talk to Alexander." Angelica said. Yeah...talk. Sure Angelica. Suuure. Angelica got up. "Wait a second. I'm gonna confront the girl he cheated with. Do you know her apartment or dorm number?" I ask. Angie shook her head but Eliza said "Before I walked out he said that her apartment number is 678. In the nearest building." 

"Okay thanks 'Liza." I said and Left. I walked by Alex's dorm and anyone could hear Angelica ripping Alexander to shreds.

Oh yeah! I'm Margarita Schuyler, but I just go by Peggy. You see, I am normally just "And Peggy" with my older sisters being the ones standing up for me. But i'm gonna change that by standing up for Eliza by confronting that Maria girl.

-

I knock on apartment 678 and and a girl opens it. "Um...can I help you?" She asks, shyly. "A re you Maria?" I asked trying to sound as stern as possible. "Um yes." She said. 

I walked in and she closed the door. "So...are you aware of what you did?" I ask. She nodded. "Look...I'm sorry but I just-" 

"You wanna say sorry? Why don't you say it to my sister?" I said, cutting her off. "Please..I am fully aware you probably hate me...but can you please just listen to me? Your Angelica right?" She asked. I groaned. 

"No I'm Margarita but I just go by Peggy. Now anyways, what explaining do you have to do? You made my sister's FIANCE cheat on her." I shouted. "Please..even if you don't believe me just will you listen?" She said. "Fine." I said, sitting on the couch.

"So...I have a boyfriend , James Reynolds , and..well...I'm not sure how to put this. So...you see James is really abusive. He makes me sleep with guys with girlfriends sometimes even wives and then he blackmails them. He....I think I've said enough." She explained to me. 

I had no reason not to believe her as she had bruises and scrapes all over her. "That's insane! Why haven't you called the police?!" I exclaimed. "No! Please...just...don't. I don't know what he'll do. Just please." She begged, on the verge of tears.

"Well....fine then. But I can help you get away from James. As you know, my sister , Eliza , owns a cafe near campus. The "Rose Cafe". Maybe you could work there for some cash." I told told her. 'Liza does own a cafe and i'm pretty sure that if I explained Maria's situation to her and Angie then she would gladly let Maria work there.

"Um...alright. Can you please go? I don't want James to know anyone was here." She asked. "Yeah I guess so. I'll see you tomorrow." I said walking out. Holy. Shit. I have to tell Eliza and Angie about this.

When I get back to me and Angelica's apartment Eliza eyes are red and puffy from crying but thankfully she has stopped. "Angelica and Eliza!" I yelled. "Yes? Is something wrong Peggy?" Angelica asks, concern quickly filling her voice. 

"Look your probably mad at this Maria girl but I need to tell you something about her." I tell them. "What is it?" Eliza asks, wiping her nose. I then explain Maria's whole situation.

"Oh poor girl!" Eliza exclaimed. "You seriously believe her? That slut is probably lying!" Angie said, with anger in her voice. "Angelica, listen. I have no reason not to believe her. She had bruises and scrapes all over her. Her voice was shaking the entire time she told me that stuff."

"Oh. Well..okay. But if believing her comes back to bite you in the ass don't come crying to me." She says, looking at both me and Eliza. I work at Eliza's cafe while Angelica does babysitting gigs from time to time. "Lets hope we see her tomorrow in the cafe." Eliza said. "I already know i'm hiring her when she applies." 

"Good! I can't wait to work with her!" I exclaim.
