Alex's POV

(Before he came to the coffee shop, with Laurens)

(Alex)

(John)

Hey, you online?

Yeah, just got to college! I'm really excited to start studying marine biology!

Cool I just got to my college too!

What college do you go to?

Kings college.

No way! Same!

Maybe we can meet somewhere if you want?

Sure! Let's go to this wicked new coffee shop! I've only been there once and I'm already in love!

Sounds great!

What's your dorm number? I can go pick you up from there!

1800

Okay I'm coming over!

I closed my laptop and got ready waiting for my friend John to come over. We've never actually met, but we've talked a lot online. I don't have a phone and I never have had a phone, to expensive. I just have my worn down laptop that Thomas gave me like 8 years ago. The screen was cracked from being thrown around by my father, and it was old unlike most people's sleek, skinny, new shiny silver ones.

I heard a knock on the door and raced over to get it.

"Hi is this Alexander Hamilton's dorm?" John asked.

"Yes it is!" I replied, excitedly.

"Great! ... where is he?" John asked.

"Um your looking at him" I replied.

"Oh right of course I am, well then let's go!" John said, spinning on his heel away from the door, beckoning for me to follow.

"Um so where is this coffee shop?" I asked, trying to make conversation. (How does one make conversation?)

"Oh its just a short ways away from here!" John replied simply.

After that we kinda just walked in awkward silence.

Damn it's hard making conversation.... it was a lot easier when I was texting him...

But then finally John spoke up to take over and be the one to try to make conversation.

"So why don't we get to know each other better?" John suggested.

"Yeah." I reply simply, not knowing what to say becuase I'm socially awkward.

After that we just sorta asked each other questions, it was really fun! But of course the fun doesn't last forever.

We were in the line up at the coffee shop, and were laughing about- I don't even know what! When he came up.

Thomas's POV

I couldn't stand looking at them any longer, jealousy was burning in my stomach.

I got up from my seat and walked over to them.

"Hey. Who's your friend Hammy?" I asked, trying not to lose my temper. I could see Alex flinch at his nickname, I used to call him that when we were younger becuase I thought his last name was silly and reminded me of Ham so I called him Hammy.

"What do you want Jefferson?" He asked looking annoyed as he spun around on his heel to look at me. I was a little bit startled at his nickname that he gave me, he never EVER called me by my last name, it was always Thomas or Tommy, never Jefferson!

"I was just asking who your friend was! And being the kind hearted person that I am, Saying hello! Jeeze you've been gone for like what 8 years? Did you forget what the word respect is?" I asked rudely, crossing my arms.

"I thought you never wanted me to talk to you again?" Alex replied, he looked like was about to cry, but was holding it in.

The line moved up and Alex and John were next to get their coffee.

"What do you want Alex?" John asked looking back.

"Just a black coffee." He said pulling out his worn out wallet.

"Hey! I'll pay!" John said.

"No no no that would be rude of me!" Alex insisted.

They went on like that for a minute or two the employees obviously not wanting to do anything about it. I felt like my mind was about to explode!

"That's enough!" I yelled. I pulled out a 20 and gave it to the employee at the register. "Keep the change!" I said a little angrily.

We all got what we wanted with my 20 and I got something for James, I went to go sit down. I looked over at Alex and John only to find that they had left.

How rude! I payed for them and they didn't even thank me! Hmpf!

James came in shortly after and I told him everything that happened, back at the dorm and in the coffee shop, after that we just kinda joked around until it was getting late, then we went back to our dorms and parted ways.

I went inside the dorm, and put my magenta jacket on the coat hanger. Then I noticed that the dorm was completely quiet. I just assumed Alex had gone to sleep and decided that I should do the same. But when I went in our room he wasn't there.

"Alex?" I called softly.

No answer.

"Alex?!" I called a little louder.

No answer.

I just assumed that he probably was still hanging out with John, wich brought back the jealous feeling in my stomach, I tried to ignore it, and go to sleep, but the feeling would not leave me.

(Time skip to a little later becuase nobody wants to know what Thomas is thinking right now...)

I still could not go to sleep, so I decided to wait for Alexander to get back home.

That's when I heard the door to the dorm slowly open. Alexander obviously not wanting to wake me up, if I was.i could hear the floor boards softly creaking as he tip toed (by the window- I'm sorry I'll stop) to our room. I heard the door to our room open, and Alex slowly coming over to my side of the room, obviously to check and see if I was awake.

Unknowing what to do, I quickly shut my eyes and pretended to sleep. Alexander seemed to buy it becuase I heard him sigh, then he pulled the purple blanket that was half off of me, fully onto me.

"Goodnight." I heard him whisper softly, I wanted to say it back but I was 'asleep' so I couldn't. His voice just seemed so gentle so soft, like I could listen to it over and over again.

That's when I realized....

I still like- no love Alexander Hamilton!

Alex went over to his side of the room and sat on his bed. But that's when I heard it. The sound that broke my heart. Alex was crying. I couldn't just listen to him cry, it broke my heart. So I pretended to just wake up.

"Alex?" I asked, "is that you?"

Alex seemed startled that I was up and quickly started wiping the tears away.

"U-um yeah I just got here... goodnight." He said and went to lay back down.

"No, what's wrong?" I asked sternly.

"It's nothing!" Alex insisted.

"No, obviously something is wrong!" I said.

God what's wrong with him?! I just want to help!

"Nothing is wrong! J-just leave me alone!" He yelled.

"Jesus Christ Alex I just want to help!" I yelled back.

"Well i don't need your help so-so just FUCK OFF! I'm not a child!"

"Pfft please your like a foot tall!"

"Maybe if you stopped talking to ME I could never talk to YOU again!

"W-what?" I asked. "What are you talking about?" I asked again, lowering my voice level. Hammy was now fully crying tears pouring out of his eyes, and shaking uncontrollabley. I'd never seen someone look more terrified in my life.

I instantly got out of bed, turned on the light, and ran over to him.

"Alex are you okay?!" I asked fear in my voice and eyes. He just looked so Broken.

"Don't talk to me at all, or ever again..." Alex said, slowly and sadly.

"W-what are you taking about?!" I asked, fearfully.

"That's what you said. Don't talk to me at all, or ever again." Alex replied.

"Oh Alex." I said, hugging him. "I didn't mean it." I said, now crying as well, still hugging him. "I was just angry... and lost in the moment."

Alex nodded, still crying but not as much and not shaking as hard.

"Now come on let's go to bed." I said calmly, tucking him in, just as he did to me.

I started walking over to my bed, untill I heard Alex speak.

"C-can you um can you sleep in my bed with me?" He asked sounding very nervous.

I didn't reply at first, startled by the question.

"Um it's okay if you donttoimeanididntwanttoeitherbutijustthat-"

I cut him off by climbing into his bed with my bigger blanket, (Becuase Alex only has one small green blanket) as soon as I did he seemed to relax.

We were both soon fast asleep.

I'm sick... that might mean more updates? But I am going to my grandma's for the weekend, so maybe not. Sorry? I don't really have anything to say so...
