"They're all leaving?" Martha breathed out in surprise, tightening the grip her teacup, an exasperated smile plastered on her face "It seems so," Washington replied sadly, taking a sip of his tea.

"I-I see." Martha said, trembling "Are you okay? You're shaking..." Washington asked nervously "Of course I am, why wouldn't I be?" She laughed in response, her eye twitching.

"Honey?" Washington sweat dropped "Yes?" Martha smiled.

"I'm getting worried." Washington gulped "Would you like to lay down for a bit? You seem stressed."

Martha laughed "I said I'm fine." She replied "Now if you excuse me.."

Martha's teacup suddenly broke on her grip.

"I need to go murder my son."

"Are you really leaving?" George asked, his voice dull of emotion "Yeah, I am."

"Why?" He asked yet again, this time- a hint of curiosity in his voice "Well, I mean- Why not?" The freckled teen replied "Because of Hamilton-"

"He isn't involved in this." John replied almost instantly "He isn't involved in my future."

"Are you sure about that?" George raised a brow, his thoughts suddenly slipped to that John Cena meme Kira made him watch, though it didn't really made that much sense to him, it was still kinda funny.

"Y-yeah." John hesitantly answered, why did he hesitate?

"Well, if you say so.." George said as he jumped out of bed, proceeding next to John's side "Why are you here?"

"I'm helping you, what do you think I'm doing?" George replied, annoyingly putting the neatly folded clothes on the bag.

"Oh." John was confused, but nevertheless- he continued fixing his stuff.

He was really gonna do this.

"This is bad." Peggy said, clutching onto Charlotte's hand "If they all leave, this house will be a living November."

Angelica ignored her last remark "Not to mention that they'll leave before the wedding," She sighed "This is chaos."

"Eliza's already grieving on her bedroom." Charlotte mentioned "What more will she do after Maria leaves?"

"I don't know.." Angelica breathed out in frustration "I feel so..." She trailed "So.."

"So Helpless.."

-

"Do you really have to leave?" Maria's aunt said sadly as she watched Maria grab the rest of her belongings that she left at her previous bedroom.

"I'm afraid so auntie..." Maria said, smiling at her dully "I-It's for the best.."

"I don't understand." Her aunt replied "Are you really gonna leave everything behind for this? I know this is a big part of your future but do you really want this?"

"I do." Maria said as she slammed her suitcase closed, making her aunt flinch "But what about Eli-"

"She's getting married, auntie." She said almost instantly "She doesn't need me, she never did from the start."

"Now, that's not true..." Her aunt breathed out as Maria turned around to face her.

"You just don't know her like I do."

A silence occurred between them, Maria blankly staring at her as she grabbed her suitcase "Now I have to go before uncle comes back-"

"Maria?"

Maria jumped slightly at the new voice, she quickly averted her gaze to see- "U-uncle!"

Her uncle stared at Maria with blank eyes, the said girl felt fear rise up, she glanced at her aunt for help but she didn't even spare a glance at her, instead she looked at her uncle with knowing eyes.

"U-uncle, I-I can e-expla--"

She was cut off when her uncle enveloped her into a hug.

"Stop running away." His uncle whispers.

Maria felt sadness overwhelm her, his words had another meaning in her head, she felt tears brim on the corner of her eyes, then she saw her aunt join in on the hug.

"You don't have to run away anymore." Her aunt whispers.

Maria broke. She wrapped her arms around them and sobbed, she fell down to her knees, her godparents doing the same.

It was too late anyway.

"Are you really gonna let them do this?" Burr said as she watched Theodosia sign papers regarding the scholarship "It's not like I have a choice anyway, this is their future- and this is my job to support them.."

"True, but.." Burr didn't know what to say, it would sound stupid if he would say anything about the scholars relationship with the millionaires, who are currently losing their minds on the marriage and the departure of the five students "But what?"

"Nevermind.." Burr huffed as he sat down , defeated. The woman infront of her looked at him with a sad expression "I know it's hard," She said as she stood up "Especially how their recession will affect the others, especially Alexander."

"He'll be even more devasted than before," Burr sighed, remembering Alexander's condition when Eliza left "But what more can we do?" Theodosia whispers "It's up to them to fix their own mess."

Burr looked hopeless "And knowing them, their pride won't let it happen."

"Hercules, don't leave us!" Sally cried as she gripped onto his right leg tightly, making it harder for the teen to walk "We'll miss you!" Dolly added on his left leg.

"Girls, please let go of my legs..." Hercules sighed, trying to shake the two brats off of him "I'm trying to pack here-- ACHILLES WHAT THE HELL?!"

Hercules quickly grabbed the trolley bag he was already finished with "Why did you remove all my stuff?!" Hercules yelled "Now I have to start all over again.." He groaned.

"You know, there's an easier way to finish all of this."Achilles said in a monotone voice "What?"

"Don't finish it." She finished, making Hercules poker face "I can't do that, were leaving tomorrow, I have to finish I today.."

"But you haven't even hung out with us and you're already leaving tomorrow!" Acleous cried "Aren't you supposed to make every second with us count? We are your family.."

Hercules softened his expression, he did have a point, this is the last time he can ever hang out with his family until he leaves for a long time "O-okay.."

He needs to make every second count.

"This is getting out of hand." Kira said as she bit her fingertips "The readers are going wild."

"What the hell?" Francis raised a brow "I thought you were talking about the wedding?"

"What? Oh I don't care about that." Kira said "It's nothing to worry about, What I need to worry about are the chapters I need to write and the drawings I need to finish- Ugh! I'm getting nowhere.." Kira groaned, clearly frustrated.

"Well, If you stopped bingewatching on Jacksepticeye's videos you could've finished act one weeks ago." Enriquez sighed, taking a sip on his coffee.

"I have no idea what you both are talking about." Francis butted in, confused.

"Hey." Kira snapped, ignoring Francis' remark "Jacksepticeye is important."

"If you say so." Enriquez replied, looking out the window "So, they're leaving tomorrow morning, Huh?" He mumbled, clearly amused.

"Yup." Kira grinned "I'm so excited! I've got everything planned out in my mind!"

"You both seemed unfazed about the situation." Francis said "Isn't it bothering you that John is leaving tomorrow? Just before the wedding?"

"I should be asking you that question as well." Kira said "You seem calm about all this, the love of your life- leaving tomorrow- Aren't you supposed to be sweet talking him out of this situation?"

"I don't really feel any sort of sorrow about this," Francis said "I do love him, that's why I'll support him on his decision to leave for a better future." He continued "This is good for him, after all."

"True." Enriquez commented "I'm surprised on how much you took this so calmly, Francis."

"I too, as well." Francis chuckled before looking at Kira "Thank Kira for that."

"What do you mean?" Kira asked, confused.

"I trust your sight of things." Francis said "So if you're calm about this, then I also see no reason to freak out."

"It always seems that way," He continued "I notice that, whenever something bad happens you're so calm about it- Like you know what's happening and you've got the situation under control without even doing anything." He said "And in the end, the problem manages to fix itself."

"So you're saying I am right about all things?" Kira grinned with pride

"What? No." Francis hissed "I just trust you, Okay? That's it- end of conversation."

Kira laughed dryly in response.

"It's funny, though." Enriquez mumbled "What is?"

"Normally, in situations like these- everybody would try and convince them to stay." He said "But from what we've observed, everybody is respecting their decisions in the end."

"It's probably because they know that the gang already made up their mind." Kira said "There's no point on trying to convince them to stay when they're leaving for their future."

"It's like.." Kira thought for a moment "It's like forcing a butterfly to stay inside of it's cocoon."

Francis looked pitiful for a moment "And besides, we can't talk them out of it- it's not that easy to convince someone to throw their future away with words."

"Words only get through if they're sharp." Kira mumbled, looking away.

A silence occured.

"Let's just wait and see what happens." Francis said before glancing at the two teens in the room.

"I guess so." Enriquez mumbled in response.

Kira looked down, an unreadable expression on her face.

"I wonder what happens when all of this ends?"
