Behind the lies

Chapter 1

"Ok dudes! The meeting may now commence! Make sure to keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times, until the meeting has come to a complete stop!" America yelled with a huge grin on his face as he stood and dropped his papers on the table in front of him. germany just stared at america with a bit of a puzzled look.

"wait , do vhat now!?"

Not even seconds after Germany had said that, america had made his way around the empty chair that separated his and Germany's seats, and gotten behind him and said to him in a bit quieter voice then his normal, "dude, Germany. just let it happen bro. just let it happen" which made germany jump out of his seat.

"VHAZ ZHE HECK AMERICA!?"

America just laughed his hero laugh and walked back to his seat. Even though he didn't sit down at all. he grabbed the notepad that was sitting on the top of his stack of papers, read it and then grinned at all the fellow nations in the room "Ok my awesome bros! our first topic today is-"

"America! I too hate to interrupt your "speech" but i think someones missing"

England blurted out, loud enough to completely quiet the american momentarily. america just frowned in annoyance

"Dude! Canada's RIGHT. THERE. can we please get on with the meeting?"

"I KNOW THAT YOU WANKER! but... i just seems a little too... Quiet"

everyone in the room had started to notice as well, but this wasn't the first meeting that this happened. Germany looked over to where his best friend always sat, only to find that he was not there. he looked around the room, but Italy wasn't anywhere that he could see.

"Vhere's Italy? i don't think I've seen him at all today "

England gasped, "That's it!"

everyone in the room started whispering among themselves about where Italy might be.

"dude, the one time we have a meeting in his country, and he doesn't come! what the crap bro"

after america made his statement, the room became completely silent. all of the nations looked at each other, waiting for someone to say something. the silence lasted at least two minutes before France spoke up. "should we wait for little Italy too get here or should we go on?

England sighed, "well i guess we could-"

before England could finish his instruction, Italy bursted through the doors. he had to stop a minute to catch his breath, but once he was done he took a deep breath and spook. "s-sorry... i'ma so late! i...accidentally slept in..."

Germany sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "Vas ever, just come and sit down"

"oh... ok Germany"

Italy wandered over to his seat and sat down. he couldn't help but notice that almost everyone of the nations were staring at him, he didn't think that he was that late... was he? but he didn't think of it to much more because the meeting was starting. and america jumped from his seat and slammed his hands on to the table with excitement.

"alright everybody! now that Italy's here we can Officially start the meeting! SO our first topic today is Global Warming! and i the hero will start us off with the best idea of all! so FIRST we take all England's tea and throw it all in a-"

Italy tuned out the words america was saying and started thinking about the note he got today, it was the 4th one he had gotten that week. the 49th one he had gotten that month. ya, he was counting, but... he hadn't had the courage to tell his brother about the horrible notes he had been receiving. he was scared on how Romano would react. the only person he had ever told was germany but.. as far as germany knew... they had stopped coming ... which was the complete opposite of what was happening, matter of fact, it had only gotten worse.

Italy honestly wanted to believe that if he ignored it like his brother always told him to do, that they would just stop coming. but it didn't.

"Dude! is he dead!? haha, he's like, not even moving!"

america almost yelled as he waved his hand in front of Italy's face and giggled like an idiot. England just face palmed and shook his head at the american. "i highly doubt that you imbecile"

germany sighed, at this rate how was the meeting ever gonna get anywhere. without any warning, Germany jumped to his feet and slammed his hands down onto the table and yelled. "ITALY!"

with this sudden outburst, Italy jolted and looked up a germany with a confused innocent look, " Huh!?... y-yes Germany?"

the German sighed. "you've been staring into space ever since you sat down"

Italy just stared at germany with a confused look, it hadn't been that long, had it?

"its only been a few minutes though... right?"

Germany shook his head.

"Nein, its been almost an hour now"

Italy almost gasped when he heard how long it had been.

"oh well...im sorry... i guess"

Italy looked down to try and hide his face, he didn't know how he should be feeling right now he wanted to laugh it off like he always did but... he just couldn't come up with the strength in his voice to laugh. he had been crying so much lately that it became more harder and harder to laugh. he knew that sooner or later the other nations would start noticing. but the longer they don't know the better.

Germany stared at Italy with a worried look "ist somezing zhe matter Italy?"

Italy didn't even have time to respond before America screamed his awesome hero scream and pointed at Italy "DUDES! Italy looks way creepy right now!"

"Da america, Italy does seem quite off today" Russia said with his twisted little smile, as he nodded. England pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, at this rate the meeting would never go on.

"would you stop fussing America!? i doubt he could do any harm anyway seeing what crybaby's him and his brother are"

this statement was to quiet the american but sadly it only fueled the flames.

"AHAHAHAHAHA DUDE YOUR RIGHT! ITALIANS ARE SO FUNNY CAUSE THEY'RE ALWAYS SURRENDERING AND STUFF JUST LIKE FRANCE MY MAN!"

France glared at America, his pride hurt. "Hey don't bring me into your stupid joke america!"

Italy stared at his so called "friends" in unbelief, why were they making fun of him, and today of all days. he wanted it to stop but even if the notes stop will the hurt from the other nations ever stop? he had to tell them to stop this! "A-America pleas-" but Italy's voice wasn't heard by the American.

"AHAHAHAHAHA ITALIANS ARE SO WEAK AND LAME!AHAHAHAH"

America laughed his head off at the joke that he thought was hilarious, but is his brother Canada had to protest.

"America! stop it that's rude!" Canada yelled as loud as he could but it turned out to only be as loud as America's normal voice. Germany was also getting very annoyed with the american man. he stand the fact that America was making fun of his best friend without a second thought.

"AMERICA! VOULD YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH FOR ONCE IN YOUR PATHETIC LIFE?!"

"DUDE! i'm only joking! don't be so paranoid!"

Each word that came out of Americas mouth only pissed the German off more and more.

"VHY YOU-!"

"im sorry..."

Italy mumbled the two words out as he stared at the papers in front of him. his quiet words had quieted both Germany and America.

"YO DUDE! YOU SAY SOMETHING"

America wasn't really paying attention to what Italy had said, germany on the other hand had heard the quieted voice that Italy used when he was sad or sick.

"sorry for vhat? Italy?"

Italy bit his lip and stood from his seat still looked down, but it was easy to tell that he was crying

"i'm.. i'm sorry..."

after hearing and seeing Italy once he stood america finally realized that he took it a little too far.

"Dude, calm down! i was just joking around- "

"Italy?"

germany carefully but his hand on his friends shoulder only to have it shoved off by him.

"JUST BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE TO FIGHT DOESN'T MAKE ME WEAK!"

Italy yelled and then ran for the door, but because he was rubbing his eyes he didn't notice that his brother had come in to see why the nations had been so loud. Italy stumbled back and looked up to see the confused look on his brothers face, but seeing his brother only made him tear up more. so he shoved past Romano and ran off, not bothering to look back to see if anyone had started following.

Romano just stood there dumbfounded.

"Veneziano?"
