Chapter 84 - Home Again
We were docking back in NY today, I was simultaneously excited, and upset. I didn't want to leave the boat, but I also didn't want to just be on the boat. Because we were docking in New York and not on a Caribbean island, I wore pants, and not shorts. Ugh, I want summer back. Thank goodness I didn't unpack. All my clothes were still in my suitcase, and all I had to do was zip it up. I rolled it out of my room and put it next to the door, neither Lin or Vanessa were here. Oh. Ok. I went back into my room and fell back asleep.
"Hey," I felt someone shaking me, "wake up, it's time to go home." I sat up, and realized Lin was sitting on my bed, shaking me awake.
"Are we home?" I asked.
"Yeah, we're in New York, come on." He tried to pull me up by my arm, but I would have none of it.
"But bed." I said.
"Yes, you have a bed at home." He grabbed my other arm, "now come."
"Ok." I replied, getting up, and following him out of my room.
"When did you pack?" Vanessa asked, referring to my bag by the door, putting the last of her clothes into a suitcase.
"I never unpacked to be quite honest." I laughed a little, grabbing the handle of the rolling suitcase. Lin carried Sebastian and Vanessa carried their suitcase, and I followed the three of them out of the room.
We made it up on the top deck, I saw Hunter standing around, presumably with his parents. I waved a little, and he came over to us.
"Hi." He smiled.
"Hi, are you excited to be going home?" I asked.
"Yeah, how about you?" He responded, flipping the question.
"Yep." I smiled, then I felt an arm on my shoulders.
"Good morning." It was Lin, "I don't think I know you. My name's Lin," he extended his hand for Hunter to shake, "and you are?"
"Oh. My name's Hunter Burrell." He responded shaking Lin's hand. "Also, to be honest, I know who you are." He laughed a little. "I saw the show a couple months ago. I won the lottery, it really was amazing." Hunter gushed a bit. "That's where I met her." He gestured to me.
"Well, Hunter Burrell, thank you for coming to see the show, but we really should be going." He steered my away from Hunter via his arm around me shoulders.
"Abigail!" I heard Hunter call, "call me!" As he said this, I felt Lin's slight hold on my left shoulder tighten. I don't think he liked Hunter.
The entire crew was standing next to the the plank to get off the boat, they were a lined up. Per usual, we left first, and for once I didn't feel like it was a punishment, we get to leave first. Yay. We walked down the isle of crew members, finally reaching Captain Jason Woods at the very end, him standing at the beginning of the gangplank.
"Thank you so much for spending the past week with us." Jason said shaking his hand. "And for having dinner with me." He smiled, he shook Sebastian's hand, "especially you little man." I laughed a little, "thank you, have a wonderful day." He said shaking Vanessa's hand, he smiled at me, and kissed my hand, "you as well."
We made it down to the end of the gangplank, and I gasped a little when I saw William standing a little way down holding a bouquet of pink roses. He was obviously really nervous, and was pacing.
"I'll be right back." Lin said, handing Sebastian off to Vanessa, kissing her cheek, then he I saw him run over to my ex-boyfriend. I couldn't hear anything they said, although I saw Lin point to me, then about a minute later point away from the boat, a random spot in Manhattan.
I saw William leave, a little deflated, and I saw Lin run back to us.
"Ok, let's go home. Come here homeboy." He picked Sebastian up, and walked over to a cab, Vanessa and I trailing behind.
Lin's Point Of View
We got down to the end of the gangplank, when I saw William standing a ways away, holding roses. I passed my son off to my wife, and kissed her cheek.
"I'll be right back." I said to them, running over to him. I saw him look up, and slightly bit his lip nervously. Rightfully so.
"Sir," he started, when I got to him, "I'm so sorry, I swear, I'm so sorry."
"It's not me who you need to be apologizing to." I said, with my arms crossed.
"Then can I talk to her?" He asked.
"Absolutely not." I was firm on this, screw him.
"Then how am I supposed to apologize?" He asked.
"You should of thought of that before you cheated on her."
"I kn..." He started.
"You cheated on her. What were you thinking? Honestly. What on earth were you thinking? Look at her." I pointed back behind me. He looked behind me at Abigail, at my family, "never mind, don't look at her." I changed my mind.
"Something happened this week, I really need to talk to her."
"Yeah. Something did happen, you got drunk, you cheated on my daughter and you were dumped in return."
"Please. I need to talk to her, it's serious." He pleaded.
"Honestly, I don't give a crap about that, get lost." I pointed away from the boat, and away from my family standing behind me. "I'm serious. Leave." Finally the kid turned around, with his head hung, and walked away. I don't know where to, but he left, and that's all that matters. I ran back over to Vanessa, Seb and Abigail. "Ok, let's go home." I said, then I reached out for Sebastian, who returned the gesture, "come here homeboy." I said, picking him up.
I walked over to a cab, looking behind me to see Vanessa wrap her arm around Abi, and Abi lean her head on Vanessa's shoulder. I'm so happy that this worked out. She really loves us, and I swear we love her more.

Q&A Time!
Ok, so, a couple quick things, so, think of this as an interview. Like there's an interviewer asking them these questions, also, anything they find out in these "interviews" they will not remember for the next chapter, or the next question.
Abigail:
Q: Next to Lin, favorite actor?
A: Oh crap. Um, I'm doing 2. So, in the show, my favorite actor is Leslie. He just, changes the concept of villain. He's amazing. Outside of Hamilton, definitely Idina Menzel. I'm still not over meeting her, she brought me into musical theatre and I honestly love her so much. I'm still not over getting her phone number.
Q: What has been the best part of the cruise, and can you have Lin adopt me too? Or another member of the cast? Love you.
A: Awe! Thanks. I love you too! The best part of the cruise, I think was Puerto Rico. Lin was just so excited about it, I don't think he can adopt you though, I feel like just taking me in was hard enough on the family. Although, maybe Jazzy and Anthony will decide to adopt instead of have children. I'll put in a good word.
Q: Will you kick William in the balls when you get home?
A: That depends honestly. If he stays away from me, or just apologizes, I'll leave him alone, but if he tries to make excuses, I will kick him in the balls yes.
Q: Favorite part about working at the Richard Rodgers?
A: The people. I love working near the cast, but I really love seeing the people who are seeing the show because they're always so excited. And I love being a part of a day they'll remember forever.
Q: Are you going to dump William because girl you should.
A: Yes. I dumped him the second I saw that photo. He may not know it yet, but we are definitely over.
Q: Abigail, I swear, if you don't kick William in the dinky do when you get home then I will.
A: Alrighty then. I mean, you do you.
Q: Will you talk to William about everything? Because yes he made a drunken mistake, but he was sad cause of his mothers death and he pushed the girl off himself.
A: Holy crap. Cathy died? How? When did this happen? Oh my gosh. I swear I had no idea, I didn't know he pushed her off, oh my gosh, yes of course I'll talk to him.
Q: What do you think about Hunter? Would you date him outside of the cruise or is this just a vacation thing?
A: I like Hunter. I mean, we met a couple months ago, and he was really nice, I mean he bought me a cookie. To be honest, I don't think I'm really looking for a relationship right now, but I definitely want to keep in contact with him, he's a great friend.
Q: What's your favorite school class?
A: Definitely English. I have one of those sassy English teachers
Q: If you can't be on Broadway when you grow up, or an actor for that matter, what would you want to be?
A: Broadway only really became feasible since Lin adopted me, it was always a kids pipe dream. All my life I wanted to go into medicine, so, a cardiac surgeon or cardiologist.
Q: Who's your favorite character in Hamilton?
A: I relate most to Hamilton, I think, personality wise, I'm Eliza. However, my favorite character in Hamilton is Aaron Burr.
Q: Who is your favorite person to be around?
A: AHHHH! Ugh, I love Lin, and Javi, and Groff and Pip and Renée, but my favorite person to be around is Vanessa. I've never had a mom who cares about me, and that's something every girl needs right? She's the sweetest person and the smartest person. I really love be being around here.
Q: What color are your eyes?
A: I have blue eyes, lighter in the middle, but dark blue on the edges.
Q: Favorite Animal?
A: The fox. Due to a childhood love of Todd from The Fox and The Hound.
Q: Favorite Hamilton song?
A: Either Wait for It or Hurricane. I cannot choose between the two. I just, dang, those 2 of numbers are flawless.
Q: Twitter, Snapchat or Instagram?
A: Snapchat. However, I use all three of these apps for the same things. Annoying the people around me. That is my purpose in life anyways.
Q: You better dump William. You cannot give a man the satisfaction of underage drinking, cheating and possessiveness and then give him his thing of beauty back. It's not right that he screwed up and gets a prize anyways.
A: I agree. I'm definitely done with him.
•••
Okay. There's Abigail, tomorrow I'll do William so questions for him and the others are still open, I hope you liked it!
THE TONYS MADE ME CRY. EVERYONE. EVERY SINGLE ONE. I BAWLED.
Thanks for reading
- Abi
