-Years later-
In the eye of a hurricane
There is quite
For just a moment...
A
yellow sky.
When we were seventeen a hurricane
Destroyed my town
We didn't drown
I couldn't seem to die
I wrote my way out.
Wrote everything down far as I could see..
I wrote my way out.
I looked up and the town had it's eyes on me
They passed a plate around
Total strangers
Moved to kindness by our story
Raised enough for me and my sister to book passage on a ship that was New York bound...
I wrote my way out of hell
I wrote my way to revolution
I was louder than the crack in the bell
I wrote Eliza love letters until she fell
I wrote about the constitution and defended it well
And in the face of ignorance and resistance
I wrote financial systems into exidtence
And when my prayers to God were met with indifference
I picked up a pen, I wrote my own deliverance
In the eye of a hurricane
There is quiet
For just a moment
A yellow sky
We were twelve when our mother died.
She was holding us
We were sick and she was holding us
I couldn't seem to die.
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
I'll write my way out...
Write ev'rything down, far as I can see
I'll write my way out
Overwhelm them with honesty
This is the eye of the hurricane,
This is the only way I can protect my legacy...
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait-
The Reynolds pamphlet.
"E-Eliza?!" I screamed as I entered her house I heard her cry.
I search the house as i meet the soon to be 19 year old Phillip just standing.
"Oh, Philip." I said with guilt as I hugged him. I realized that he has grown in such a kind young man.
And he even is taller than me
I heard him sob on my shoulder.
"It's okay my son. You're father is not a good man." I said as one of my own tears role down my cheeks
"Philip, where is your mother? Is she okay?" He didn't answer. As I broke the hug and walked into the kitchen.
I saw a broken cup of tea on the floor as the newspaper is soaked in it. I saw the big words on the newspaper
THE REYNOLDS PAMPHLET.
I feel my heart ripping apart. How could he do this?
I saw Eliza on her knees crying.
"Oh my gosh Eliza i am so sorry, he will pay for what he did" I said as I got to my knees as well and hugged her as we both cried.
10 hours earlier
"Thank you So so much for helping me Alex. I knew you were busy writing the newspaper. What's the big news? I think everybody knows by now that Eliza's pregnant." I rambled
I heard nothing from Alexander. He was quite all the time. I wonder why?
Alexander is helping me Unpack because I have been living in the other house just sorting my problems there. And I have stayed and lived there for almost 2 years. But I have decided to move back to my house to be closer to Eliza and the others.
Me and Madison are okay.
He apologized and we are basically best friends now.
Thomas? He is the one that ran away from this. Madison told me that he thinks that Thomas think that I am mad at him for no reason.
I was mad at Madison not him.
I mean I did yell at him but it was because I wanted to be alone.
And now he hasn't talked in a while and he had been in France with other ladies probably because somehow we are 'not together anymore'
"So.. What's up? Why aren't you talking" I asked smiling "too worried about the baby? I mean it is your like 100th baby by now so I don't understand why would you be upset"
"I'm sorry. I know that you will be mad at me, and never forgive me. "
He said
"What? Come on Alex I will! And you never did anything. And if you did I would probably forgive you because your my brother! "
My brother
My brother
My brother...
I heard him sigh. There's something wrong... I just brushed it off.
It's probably nothing. He is just tired from work I think. As I looked at his face I saw the bags under his eyes.
He really hasn't slept huh?
"Alex! Those are pretty big bags under your eyes.. Are you okay?"
I asked upset
I saw him smile.
"I'm fine, I'm always fine aren't I? I need to be strong for you."
He said as he hugged me again.
"Alex... Are you sick?" I said as I laughed a bit. "I am not small anymore. I don't need your help. Just worry about your family." I said
He sighed "yeah."
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
"bye!" I said as Alexander left.
I had a pretty good time with him.
Even though he is always so boring we actually talked and he listens to what I have to say and I do the same.
I watch as he walks away...
9 hours until
*$! <&%√¥€¢+ @$*€~\•%
My head kinda hurts...
I then forgot about the hurting because I heard someone call out for me.
"Aunt (Y/n)!"
I look and saw Philip
I already get happy seeing him.
I really need to find him a present cause it's his birthday soon.
"Hello Philip!"
I hug him
"Philip have I mentioned how much you've grown?"
He laughs "All the time."
"Anyway, your going somewhere? Wanna have a your cool aunt join you?" I asked smiling
I heard him laugh
"I wanted to just walk around town to meet some gi-... I mean.. Just walk around. And since your gonna join me it's gonna be fun!" he said as we high-five
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
We walk around town as Philip greets every girl that walks past us. He must know many girls...
"So Philip... I have heard from your mother that you have been with different girls every 5 days... When will you settle down with just one girl? " I asked him. Haven't we raised him to be better?
"Well it looks like I just know how to flirt" he said
I told my eyes
"You know what? Maybe you can now go approach a girl and ask her on a date. I bet that you can't date her for a month." I said giggling
He looked at me and smirked
"I bet I can." he said as he ran off to a girl that was sitting on a bench.
I smiled.
I then heard people screaming
"He's back!" someone screamed
I looked and there was a crowd at the docks... Familiar...
I had a really bad feeling but..
I was moving towards the crowd.
When I got there. people were in the way. Damn I'm short... How tall are these people?
But I gotta thank my shortness because I got thought the crowd and they didn't even notice. Am I that small?
As I look I couldn't believe my eyes.
He's back?!
"Hey (Y/N)! Where did you ran off too? I got the date! All I need to do is date her for a mon- oh.. He's back?"
"Thomas Jefferson is back!" the crowd screamed as he walked down the dock with Madison.
"Philip we gotta get out of here!"
"wait bu-" before he could finish I dragged him with me.
"I knew it! He would of course come back!" Philip roles his eyes "Hey aunt (Y/N) just asking, but are you getting fat?"
"Philip! That's mean! Yes I'm ofcourse getting fat!" I said
"Okayyy.."
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
I knock on Madison's door, correction
I am bagging on his door
I bang for 5 minutes but then the door opened as I accidentally hit Madison
"OW! Can you stop bagging on my door?!" he yelled
"Oops sorry.. But WHY IS HE BACK?! "
"Uh I don't know, BECAUSE HE LIVES HERE?? " he said still annoyed that I hit him
I go past him in his house.
"He left me AND his baby alone here and now he's back!" I said as I touched my stomach.
"Baby?! " I heard someone say behind me.
I froze.
I turn around and saw Thomas. Standing there looking at me.
