he hears eliza say something, but it doesn’t REGISTER. he’s already too far, too deep. he cannot STOP. he looks at her, heart POUNDING in his chest. he wants to answer her question, she sounds terrified, horrified. this was not a war, not a battlefield and yet, he had turned it into a murder scene. he wanted eliza to escape unscathed but now… he feels guilt, fear, disgust, a million emoitons all at once. one does not escape a war without blood on their hands, but this…. eliza was right, THIS HADN’T BEEN A WAR BUT NOW HE HAD MADE IT ONE.
❛ we — we just need to get out of HERE! ❜ he could run, run further than she could, but he slows when she mentions vomiting. he glances over his shoulder as she mentions cops, but before he can speak, she’s dragging him into the alley way. john cannot bare to look at her, he feels like he needs to apologize to her. ❛ i’m —- eliza, i’m sorry. ❜ his voice shakes, and his HANDS TREMBLE. ❛ i thought… i thought the man was going to hurt you. he could’ve hurt you. i had to stop him. ❜
❛ are you going to be okay? look, if we can… get to alexander. he’ll help us. ❜ his tone is hushed, all muscles in his body tensed. he’s ready to throw a punch, gun in his hand all but forgotten until she mentions it. ❛ SHOOT AGAIN? god help us. ❜ he pauses. murder is punishable by death, and john knows if the cops get to him… he’ll be hanged. there’s no other WAY, there can be no THROWN SHOTS. ❛ can you see? are they comin’? are you — eliza, i swear to god, you’re gonna be safe. the baby’ll be safe. i’ll protect you. i won’t let anything happen to you. ❜
❛ no! ❜ her voice was a little louder when he mentioned alexander, and she reached over, taking the hand that held the gun. ❛ alexander CANNOT know about what has happened. besides, someone finds out then it’ll be in the papers, he reads it every DAY. he makes god awful jokes, and i know that we’ll be one of them. ❜ she looks around, and she takes in a deep breath, staring back at him. ❛ let’s just stay at your place, he’s probably so DRUNK or TIRED that he won’t notice if i come home. ❜ she breathed in, starting to quickly make her way towards his home.
she couldn’t BELIEVE that he had shot someone, and that she told him to shoot someone again! however, she knew that he would be hanged if he got caught, everyone in the area now knew that, john laurens, shot a man not in war. that was a CRIME, a crime that he couldn’t get out of. ❛ how many cops are there? ❜ her heart was racing as she looked at him, bitting down on her lip. lately, everyone was being careful about this stuff. you could NEVER tell if it was a duel or if it was just plain murder.
❛ we have to shoot a cop. ❜ she WASN’T thinking; she was having an anxiety attack at this point. she didn’t want her friend to get hanged if he got caught, it would just destroy her soul, and it would KILL alexander if he found out john was dead. ❛ like now. ❜ without even taking a break, and without even thinking, her hand reached for the gun, immediately shooting at the cop who already had a raised gun at JOHN. her uncle, the weirdo he was, decided it would be best if the three sisters knew how to use a gun. angelica was fourteen, eliza was thirteen, and peggy was twelve. she hasn’t used a gun SINCE. ❛ if you get caught then i get caught to, at this point they saw BOTH of us. just hurry! ❜

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.
