it feels as if my eyes are pegged open as i stare painfully up at my plain ceiling. there are different things going through my mind right now, and it's keeping me awake. i'm not sure what time it currently is, but the nagging feeling in the back of my mind is bugging me.

alexander hamilton. al - ex - an - der. i wonder how he's doing?

after our encounter, i can't help but ponder about him. i think i handled the situation pretty well, and i'm surprised he was able to tell me his dilemma. it makes me happy.

but then i sit up, confused. it's kind of odd how i'm thinking about him right now. it's already been a while since we parted today, but he's the only thing in my head.

i imagine alexander's grin. damn, he has a nice smile. how did i not notice in high school? whatever the reason was, i'm upset that i didn't notice until now.

he has the most beautiful hair too. if he just took care of it a bit more, it'll become so shiny. and don't get me started on his eyes.

with a shake of my head, my gaze reaches the glowing red numbers on my bedside table. it says 4:45 am. i have a meeting at the station today so i should start getting ready, even though i should be there by 7. i roll off my magenta sheets and head to my bathroom.

i just hopped out of the shower when i hear my charging phone by my table begin to ring loudly. as i'm dressing, i figure it's just my alarm going off, but then i recognise it's not the same annoying tune as my alarm.

i pop my head out from my walk-in closet to check the clock and notice that it's 5:23. who on earth would be calling me this early in the morning?

i rush to get my uniform and badge on before heading inside my bedroom whilst drying my wet hair with a soft towel. my phone is still ringing when i reach it, and when i glance down at the contact, my eyes go wide.

i immediately answer, "hamilton? why are you up so early?" i realise how frantic my voice sounds and i instantly clear my throat and sit myself onto my bed, crossing my legs.

i hear alexander's small chuckle through the phone before he softly says, "i could ask the same for you."

with a roll of my eyes, i huff, but i then reel back to my worried tone, "is something wrong?"

alexander falls silent on the other line and i frown. something is definitely up. hearing a sigh and awkward shuffling doesn't make me feel any better either.

"uh, can-" i hear him choke back a sob, making me purse my lips, "can i see you?"

then my heart flutters. "sure..." i mumble, unconsciously tugging on one of the strands of my wet hair as i stare at the floor. it's a cute question, but i still don't brush off the fact that alex is sniffling on the other end of the line, "when?"

he somewhat hiccups, "i-is now okay?"

that's when i get the idea that something definitely happened. i quickly toss the towel down and rush over to grab socks, "yeah, i can come over now."

"no!" alexander suddenly cries out, making me pause in the middle of my room as i'm about to put on a sock. then he continues to stammer out, "u-uh... i meant... can i come over... to your place?" his voice quietens as his sentence progresses.
