i had saw laurens kiss alexander. i also saw him look at me as he did so. i brushed it off, i haven't got the balls to say anything to hamilton about how i feel yet, so i shouldn't care if he's with him. he's not interested in me, that's fine.
" hey, what was that radio in there about ?" madison buckles his seatbelt, asking all of us.
" dunno, a failed distraction ?" laurens looks back at us, pulling out of the spot he parked at.
" jefferson move your head ." laurens pointed to the left so i did, jokingly laying my head on madison's shoulder.
" wow, and i thought you couldn't get any gayer ." madison, also a close friend, chuckles.
" i'm as gay as they come ." i joke. that's probably not true, but -
" everyone hold on to their hats ." the curly headed man in front abruptly pushes the gas petal, making me hit my head on the back of the seat.
" ow what the fuck -"
" laurens what the hell ?" alexander exclaims, im guessing that he hit his head too.
" damn y'all got rubber necks ." laurens cackles, quickly making a right turn, the car making a screeching sound.
" are we being followed ?" alexander leaned out the window to look, then a shot was fired, it hit the side veiw mirror. which was really close.
" shit lexi, get the fuck back in !" laurens dragged his collar down. that nickname though . . .
" those are ice agents, make a u turn ." hamilton blankly said, sitting down.
" what ?"
" trust me laurens, just make a u turn ." laurens sighed before following alexander's instructions. the car turned around, facing the black van, inching closer.
" drive when i say so ." hamilton unbuckles his seatbelt, taking out a knife from his pocket. i swear to god he always has one.
another shot was fired, and then the car started to tilt.
" go ." hamilton rested his hands on the window, the knife in one.
" they just -"
" kiyate, we can still get away, go !" hamilton ushers. i would be lying if i said i didn't look at his ass atleast once while he stood out the window.
" you better not get shot lex ." laurens mumbles to himself, pushing the gas pedal. the car rumbled as we zoomed past the van, it was also slightly slower.
" should we duck ?" madison half-heartedly jokes, i laugh.
" as the safest option, yes ." just then a round of shots are fired, maria ducks down aswell, saying something quietly underneath her breath. then there was a stinging pain in my shoulder. then blood.
" oh those fuckers !" i hold the wound, ducking in between my legs.
" don't get blood on my seats -"
" you okay ?" i hear hamilton ask.
" as long as i don't bleed out all the blood in my body, i'll be fine ." i wince as we hit a bump. it didn't hurt that bad, but it might've been my adrenalin rush hiding the pain.
" we're all gonna be fine ." madison sighs, looking towards the back window, seeing the van turning around as well.
" says the one who didn't get shot ." i dryly chuckle, seeing blood drip onto the floor. im used to seeing the blood though.
i've saw it numerous of times from other people, and from my own body aswell. i was shot fourteen times in my leg, all in seperate occasions, on several missions. i've gotten nerve damage from that so much i almost don't feel pain in my left leg anymore. life's a tricky thing.
" do you think they'll see the car in an alleyway ?" laurens abruptly says.
" depends, why ?" alexander responds, the car suddenly stops, i look up. we're in an alleyway.
" wow, what a cliché get away technique ." i sarcastically comment, i can feel laurens give me a glare from his mirror.
" oh look, they zoomed past, cliché works ." laurens turns around just to look at me for three continuous seconds before hamilton slaps him on the arm.
" cut it out jack ." he whispers, giving a hard side eye to his friend.
" whatever . . ."
" how long do we wait here ?" i cut through the tension.
" not long, just until they drive past again, then we can make it to washington and be done with this fucking case ." hamilton responds. i almost feel glum that our case will end this soon. it's been such a fun time running around with him. i'd never want it to end, to be honest. but, atleast we successfully finished it, we get to keep our jobs, the world keeps spinning.
" jefferson ." hamilton snaps me out of my thoughts, nudging me with some bandages to wrap around my shoulder.
" thanks ." i mumble, taking the bandages and wrapping it around twice. the bleeding had died down since the pressure i was adding to it, but it was still bad.
" ay, para. eso duele ." hamilton smacks laurens' hand away from his thigh, the one he had gotten shot on. what was laurens' hand doing there though -
" how does it hurt ?" laurens laughs, hamilton opens his mouth then closes it. i bet a hundred dollars john doesn't know.
" my thigh is sore -"
" you're a terrible liar ." laurens interrupted, hamilton exasperatedly sighed.
" i got shot in my -"
" oh my fuck hamilton !" i should've made a bet. i would've won a hundred dollars.
" don't freak out, jeez, it happened a while ago ." hamilton runs his hands through the tops of his hair, making the silky ends fall loosely at his shoulders again.
" when ?"
" the second week in, i don't know, do i look like a calendar ?" hamilton defensively says, i hold in a chuckle, looking towards madison. you could tell he felt the same way about the two bickering. if only there was some popcorn.
" why didn't you tell me ?!"
" because i don't have to tell you everything laurens ."
" well i would expect to know if you got shot !" laurens fires back.
" how was i supposed to know, i haven't been shot before ." this time laurens stays quiet, hamilton huffs before getting out of the car. he starts to walk away, down towards the darker part of the alleyway.
" jefferson, can u check on him ?" laurens sighs, looking up at the rear view mirror.
" why me ?"
" 'cuz he doesn't want to see me right now, i can tell ." he mutters leaning back in his seat. i don't want to object really, i mean this is a once in a chance opportunity.
" okay ." i shrug towards madison, i guessed laurens had a soft spot for me? maybe he didn't want to send madison out because hamilton disliked him and i was the only person left alexander didn't hate.
" that was quite the show hamilton ." i walked up to him, he was looking through a fence in the alley way, behind a dumpster.
" laurens is a drama queen, it was more of him pulling it off ." he coldly turns back around, looking through a peep hole at the fence. i nod to myself, thinking of how i can approach the situation to make him feel better.
" laurens really cares about you ."
" yeah, that's why he sent you out, to make me feel better ." alexander turns around, crossing his arms as he leaned against the fence.
" can you blame him ?" all of a sudden i was pro-laurens. that's a first. he scoffs.
" no, but he should say sorry himself ." his voice gets a bit higher in volume, i could tell he was already getting agitated.
" then get back in the car, im sure he already has a long ass speech boiling in his head ." i gesture towards the back of me, feeling my shoulder ache a bit.
" i don't want his apology ." i twist my face in response.
" you're really confusing, y'know that," i accuse him," for example, i thought for a second you liked me, but you kiss him and it seems like you don't, then -"
" wait, what ?" he stops me, it takes me a second to realize what i said.
" do i actually have to repeat that ?" i rub my forehead, feeling my cheeks heat up in regret.
" i thought you didn't like me because you didn't say anything, i usually don't make the first move ." he dryly chuckles, i do the same.
" so, where do we stand ?" i ask in total seriousness. he walks really close for some reason, making me want to step backwards, instead I'm stuck staring down at him.
" really close ." he whispers, it seems like he's leaning in to kiss me, but then he walks away. i stand there dumbfounded until he looks back.
" also laurens' kiss meant nothing, so don't get fed up over it ." he playfully smiles before turning back. i roll my eyes with a smirk painted on my face.
" t h a t s t u p i d m i d g e t ."
