THIS WAS A FAVOR TO A FRIEND. balls were not john’s favorite thing. he was meant for a fight, meant for a field. suits and ball gowns were not something he enjoyed. he offers eliza a smile and a soft laugh, a shake of his head.
❛ force of habit, right? the world is a war; better to be armed than unarmed. ❜ he rests a hand on her shoulder, dark hues following as her hand moves to her stomach.
❛ besides. i told alexander i’d protect you. y’know… i follow through on what i say. ❜
he watches with concern as she turns the corner, only to collide with another man. instantly, he feels himself tense up. HE WAS READY TO FIGHT, READY TO STEP IN IF NEEDED. he nods at eliza as she approaches, taking her hand. he’s about to offer his arm to her when the aforementioned stranger GRABS HER.
❛ hey! ❜ it’s as though the world slows to a crawl, and he’s acting before he realizes what’s happening. arm reaches out instinctively, and he SHOVES the man away, hand already going to his gun. THE WORLD IS NOT A WAR, LAURENS; SLOW DOWN.
❛ don’t touch her again! try somethin’ and i’ll - ❜ THE WORLD IS NOT A FIGHT; THROW AWAY YOUR SHOT. he is sure a million pairs of eyes are upon him, and he’s sure he should take this outside, away from the ball. the man takes a step forward, a step towards ELIZA, and before john can comprehend, his instincts, the instincts of a SOLDIER, kick in and he’s fired his WEAPON once, TWICE. he knows this isn’t a battlefield this isn’t a war, but his instinct is to protect her and his other instinct is to fight.
with the fight instinct comes the flight instinct, but it doesn’t kick in instantly. the stranger slumps to the ground, and he knows they need to GET OUT. he turns to eliza, eyes wide, HORRIFIED.
❛ ‘liza, we gotta- SHIT, we need to run- LEAVE. ❜
it was as if time STOPPED when john raised his gun, and eliza almost cried at the sight. ❛ john, stop! this isn’t the war. ❜ she said, trying to reach out for him. she was about to say something, but the only thing that left her mouth was a YELP, and she felt the mans grip loosen, causing her to move. ❛ did you . . . did you kill him? what did you do? ❜ she was about to lean down to look, but he was already forcing her to leave, causing her to look at everyone that was staring at them. oh god, alexander was going to flip when he heard this.
❛ where are we even going?! ❜ she asked, trying to run with him, but the running was causing her baby to react badly, making her want to VOMIT. ❛ i can’t run, i’m going to vomit if i do. ❜ she looked pained, but she knew that if she didn’t run, he would go to jail for MURDER. she couldn’t let that happen to him, she couldn’t. ❛ jesus, john! i can see cops coming, i told you the gun was a bad idea, come with me. ❜ she dragged him into an alley way, trying to just blend in with the darkness. her sister had gotten her a darker colored dress, so it worked better than her old LIGHT BLUE dress.
she gave him a worried look, before watching as the cops passed, the large scene in front of the man and she looked at him. ❛ i am with child, and about to have morning sickness, or because you killed someone! ❜ she shook her head, gripping his arm as she glanced down at the gun in his hand. ❛ the cops are going to be all over you, they saw you shoot him. ❜ just then, an idea formed in her mind, and she sucked in a deep breath, staring at him. ❛ if they come;shoot again. ❜

i am selective with who i rp with, and i'm really sorry if i don't follow you back. it does not mean that i don't like your blog, and you are amazing, i already know that. i either don't see our writing meshes well together, or i just don't see our characters interacting. i do have exclusives, and i do have mains. i however, refuse to have exclusives for alexander, as there are too many that i rp with. here are a few mains and exclusives:
i do make some ooc post on the daily, more than i do reply to starters. lately i have a lot on my mind, and i like to speak, and then try to debate on whether or not i post it, because i think i'm funny. i am a slow repiler, so please just bare with me.
please, please, do not be afraid to do ships with me. i love ships, and i love everything about that. but, i will do things with chemistry, and please understand that i don't really like doing planned ships.
about graphics, all were either made by me or for me. my theme background was made by @patriotread and my icons were made by my friends. the only icons i make are the ones that are used for modern or teen eliza. please do not steal any of these, but i doubt you will, all of my musical icons have my url on them.
there are a lot of basic rules that i feel like people should know, and if you have any other questions, please message me. i am not a scary person, i scare myself sometimes but i try not to scare other people. i have no hidden messages or anything like that, so please do not be afraid to rp with me.
verses
BEFORE THE WAR.
BEFORE DEATH.
AFTERMATH.
MODERN/AU.
SCHUYLER SISTERS.
this will take place before eliza has ever even met alexander. she is just bff's with her wonderful sisters, and nothing will stop her from being happy with them.
HELPLESS.
this is when she is writing to alexander/before they have their first born. this will be used also while alexander is off at war, and before she tells him that she is pregnant.
THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH.
in this verse, she is pregnant with philip, and it is everything after that and before the reynolds pamphlet. alexander can be cheating during this time, but eliza, obviously, has no idea about it. they also have more kids throughout this time, so it'll mainly be when everyone is little and happy.
BURN.
obviously, this is reynolds time, and it's not a happy time. this is the verse where eliza does get heartbroken, and where she is having the most difficult time forgiving her husband. she loves him dearly, but she is also trying to decide whether or not she can go on. before she could, however, philip dies in her arms, and they move uptown.
MATTER OF TIME.
this is after alexander's death, and eliza has lost almost everyone in her life. she goes on to open an orphange, she interviews so many people that worked with alexander; she does it all to carry on his legacy. it starts with hamilton, and ends with hamilton.
TO BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW.
this is the baby teen verse omg yes. it will mainly be in modern times, and the face-claim for this will be arden cho. i felt as if she fit best for this, and if that makes you angry or something, please come and tell me, but girlie i couldn't find a better fc so if you have one.
HALF DRESSED A MESS.
this will be the college verse that i do have planned. i haven't been able to use this as much as i would like, but i have stuff in mind. eliza is studying to be a nurse, and she is also engaged to alexander, since i still think they would have gotten married at a young age either way.
SUMMER IN THE CITY.
a happy time, where this is just modern eliza. i have debated on what to do about her eight kids, considering i really can't just erase them. in this verse, it's mainly just that eliza constantly gets pregnant, and by their fifth kid, alexander and eliza just gave up. it's not taking place in college, or anything like that. also, in this verse, i don't think that he would have cheated on her, considering there are a lot of things that differ from it.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN HUFFLEPUFF.
her father was a wizard while her mother was a muggle, making her a half-blood. at eleven she got accepted into hogwarts and was off, trying to make everything seem alright for her. she was put into gryffindor, but everyone she met thought that she was in hufflepuff, but that wasn't the case at all. her wand is a 13 inch with laurel wood and the core is made of unicorn hair.
