The last things I saw was Burr holding a gun to me and then him looking regretful… I saw Eliza and Angelica hovering over me. I remember telling them that I’m sorry for everything I’ve done…

I drifted off… I felt Eliza hug me one last time… Then there was just darkness… Now I’m here… In my old office from my house… I see Eliza sitting on the floor in the front of the fire place… I walk towards her but then she starts talking…

“I hate the way you talk to me… I hate it when you stare… I hate you’re big dumb combat boots… And the way you read my mind… I hate you so much it makes me sick… It even makes me rhyme… I hate- I hate the way you’re always right… I hate it when you lie… I hate it when you make me laugh… Even worse when you make me cry…” I then see Eliza start to cry… I was ready to comfort her but then I realized… I’m dead and I can’t do anything… Then I see something in front of her… no… The pamphlet… Then I hear her speaking again…

“I hate it when you’re not around… And the fact that you cheated… But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you… Not even close… Not even a little bit… Not even at all…” I sit next to Eliza and she wiped her tears away… She looked at the pamphlet then at the fire… I then looked at the fire… I saw my papers that I wrote to her… I remembered her throwing them there… She starts to talk again…

“…and don’t forget… I’m also just a girl… Standing in front of a boy… Asking him to love her…” Eliza then tossed the pamphlet into the fire… She stood up and looked at the fire again… She then left the room… I stood up… The room then started changing… I saw myself and Eliza… The night of our wedding… I turn around to see John sitting in the back of the room by himself…

I walk towards him… He’s crying with a smile on his face… I remember him being like that all night… But now that I see him this closely… He looked awfully sad… I sat next to him… He then started talking… “…But I guess… If I love you… I should let you move on…” I was shocked to here those words… John stood up and drank the rest of his Sam Adams… He walked out of the room with Angelica finishing her toast she gave Eliza and I…

The room changed again… I was in my house… In my living room… I see myself in front of Maria… She was crying… This was the last time I saw her… She started talking… “Most of all, I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life… The way I feel when I’m with you…”

She walked away with tears in her eyes… Then I realized that she way being pulled away by Mr. Reynolds… The room changed to the day I met Angelica and Eliza… I was at the balcony… And Angelica was by herself crying… She looked at Eliza and myself from the distance and started talking…

“… And third… I was unconditionally… And irrevocably in love with him…” I started to feel bad for the people in my life that cared for me like that… I then realize I am in Lafayette’s tent from war…

I see John sitting on the bed with Lafayette… John then starts talking… “That moment, when you kiss someone and everyone becomes hazy… And the only thing in focus us you and this person… And you’ll realize that… That person is the only person… That you’re supposed to kiss for the rest of you’re life… And for one moment… You get this amazing gift… And you want to laugh… And you want to cry… Because you feel so lucky that you found it… And so scared that it will go away all at the same time…”

John started crying… He was talking about the first time I kissed him… I was his first kiss… And I just left him for someone else so quickly… Lafayette hugged him… I then realized that this was the day John goes to South Carolina…

Tears form in my eyes as the room changes to the tent John and I shared… John was in front of me… And he started talking… “You are everything I never knew I always wanted…” John had a look of sadness and anger mixed together… Then he held my shoulders…

“Whatever happens tomorrow, we’ve had today…” John hugged me then walked away with bag in hand to South Carolina… The room changed again… This time to black again… But when I opened my eyes… I saw Washington, John, Philip… A-and my Mother…
