Philip Hamilton turned 19 and he got a scholarship to kings college. Some guy named George said some shit about Philip's father. Philip went to the theater and yelled "George! George! George!" George said "What do you want I'm trying to watch the play." Philip snapped "You should had watched your mouth before you talked about my father!" George laughed "Everything I said is true. Your father is a scumbag and it seems to you." Philip gasped "So that's how it'll be?" George replied "Yes sir." Philip yelled "Well meet me on the dueling ground! Unless you want to go now!" George said "I know where to meet you now piss off I'm watching the play." Philip ran home and slammed the door open. Philip said "Paps! You should had heard the shit George said about you!" Alexander sighed "Slow down. What happened? Did he apologize?" Philip answered "No he refused to apologize. He challenged me to a duel. This is my first duel they never teach us about this in boarding school." Alexander gasped "Shit! Where is the duel?" Philip sighed "New Jersey." Alexander and Philip mumbled "Every thing is legal in new Jersey." Alexander said "Okay. When you and your friend get your guns. Look him in the eye and stand like a man. Turn y'all backs towards each other. Count to ten and fire your weapon in the air. It'll stop the duel." Philip mumbled "But what if he shoots me and I'm a goner?" Alexander replied "He won't if he's a man. Taking away someone's life is a sin. Son your mother can't take another heart break. Here take my guns. Come back when the duel is done." Philip took his guns and said "My name is Phillip. I'm a poet. I'm a bit nervous but I can't show it. I'm a Hamilton with pride! If I hear you talking shit about my father I'm not letting it slide!" Philip ran to the dueling ground. He saw George and mumbled "I got the guns. So how was your show?" George hissed "I skipped the show for this. Let's make it quick." Philip looked him in the eye. They turned each other backs towards each other. Philip putted his gun in the air. George and Philip said "One two three four five six seven eight nine-" Philip fired his gun in the air and cried "Ten!" George shot Philip in the ribs. Philip fell and cried. The medical center went and got him. They brought him to the hospital. One week later Alexander and Eliza ran to the hospital. Alexander yelled "Where is my son?! He hadn't come back home!" Nurse said "He's in a hospital room." Alexander asked "Is he alive?!" The nurse said "Yes but he might not survive." The nurse brought Alexander and Eliza to the room. Alexander sat on the hospital bed and looked at Philip. Philip cried "I done what you said Paps." Alexander mumbled "Sh I know." Philip cried more "I stand up like a man, I looked him in the eye, I counted to ten, I fired my gun before I said ten." Alexander kissed his forehead and said "Sh I know. Don't use all your strength. I hope you stay alive.." Eliza yelled "Is he gonna to survive this?! Is he gonna stay alive?!" Alexander said "I don't know." Eliza held Philip's hand. Philip cried again "Mom Im sorry I forgot what you had taught me. You taught me how to play the piano. You watched me write poems all day and night." Eliza cried "It's okay I know. Just remember this. Say this in the same tune as me. One three four five-" Philip said "Six seven eight nine ten." Eliza smiled "Good. One three four-" Philip tried to smile "Five six seven eight."
