I woke up to light pouring through my window. I got up, walked across the room and opened the window looking down on the streets of NYC. I left the window open and checked the time on my phone, 9:15, great. I have the whole day ahead of me. I sat down on my love seat, and texted William

(Hey, I moved! Just letting you know, don't come by the Walters anymore.)

(Yay! Awesome for you! Where did you move to?)

I was about to text William back whenI heard a knock on my door, I set my phone down, making a mental note to text him back later.

"Abigail? Are you up?" Renée's soft voice asked through my closed bedroom door, "we're going to go to the mall to buy you clothes soon."

"I'm up!" I replied quickly changing into jeans and a tank top, I was about to put a sweatshirt on when she came into my room holding a gift bag

"I was wondering if you wanted to wear this today, it's a little gift from the cast." She handed me the bag and I sat down on my couch, I pulled out a grey Hamilton zip up hoodie. 

"Thank you thank you!" I jumped up and hugged Renée. I pulled it on over my tank top, it was so warm. 

"Just a reminder that you're one of us now. Let's go, Jazz and Pippa are waiting." Renée left the room and I followed happily, I walked down the 3 flights of stairs, leading to the ground floor. Jasmine and Phillipa were waiting outside for us. "We're ready to go!" 

All 4 of us got into a car with Renée driving, Pippa in the front, and me and Jasmine in the back. "So, as much as I would love to spend the entire day buying clothes, at 1:00 we have a press conference, and then at 4:00 we have a Ham4Ham." Pippa explained and I grinned, I would finally get to see a Ham4Ham!

"Oh and the show." Jasmine pipped up, I laughed lightly, we spent 10 minutes in the car before arriving at the Manhatten Mall. We walked in to the mall and the girls dragged me from store to store, making me try on countless outfits, apparently I needed casual outfits, casual date outfits, fancy date outfits, teen party dresses, adult party dresses, and more. Apparently I also need 'date me' outfits, that made me look freakishly attractive. We left the mall 2 hours later with tons of clothes and shoes.

"You guys really didn't have to do this." I said once we were all in the car.

"Oh no, we wanted to, and also, Abigail, we're going to adopt you, we are going to treat you like our own kid, when your kid has a couple pairs of jeans and maybe 5 shirts, you buy her clothes, also, we needed time to get to know you." Pippa assured, making me feel a lot better.

"Well thank you." I said leaning back in my seat

"What are you going to hear for the press conference?" Renée asked

"What should I wear? Is it casual, semi fancy, or, I can show up in sweatpants sort of a thing?" I asked, I didn't know if there were going to be cameras or not.

"I don't know, if I were you I'd go with a dress." Jazz suggested. As she said that Renée pulled up in front of the theatre and the girls helped me bring my bags to my room, as we got into my room I pulled out dresses that I felt like would be good for this. There were 5-6 dresses.

Pippa came over to my bed where the dresses were spread out and picked up a light blue one. "How about this one?" She asked holding it up, I grabbed it from her and went to go change. I pulled the dress on and it was gorgeous , it buttoned up in the middle, and the bottom of the dress was a solid blue whilst the material covering my chest and on my arms was blue lace, it's sleeves were long and open, the dress itself light and flowing, it stopped about mid-thigh. I walked back into the room and the girls agreed on it. 

One hour later, at 12:30 the rest of the cast was at the Richard Rodgers, and most of them were prepping me on what it was going to be like, I never got the full explanation but I got bits and pieces and had some sort of and idea on what to expect, so here's what I had gathered so far;

1) There would be a news crew there, video taping

2) Several newspapers were covering the story, including The New York Post and The New York Times.

3) There would be a photo op at the end of the conference. 

Lin had set up a Twitter for me and someone had assisted him with the creation of an Instagram, he wanted me to be fully connected to everything going on around me, and maybe some fans would follow the accounts, because I'm becoming a Hamilton. The press Confrence was being held at the Richard Rodgers, chairs had been set up for the lead cast and myself on the stage, the press were to sit in the audience. I was pretty excited, but also nervous, most of all I was grateful that this amazing cast had taken me in.

Yay! This kind of writing makes me all happy inside! I really hope you guys enjoy it! Does anyone have any suggestions for the story? I'm always open to new ideas and comments! Seriously guys, I love getting comments, please whatever you think about the story put it in the comments, it can't hurt me, it will only help me! (Unless you say that you hate Lin, that wil hurt me.) If you love it, what would you not tell me? If you think is total crap please comment, "Hey you suck, this is complete crap." Then I will know that you think it's total crap! Don't be afraid! I love you all! Ah love!

(I will post chapter 10 after 5 reads)

Thanks for reading!
