Maxon spat those words, those words that would shatter me. It was because of a stupid mistake, Maxon found out Aspen loved me. He smiled returned and he faced Kriss again, and continued chatting as I look at the walls. I breathed slowly, trying to blink away the tears. I couldn't help it, I stood up and whispered "Please excuse me for a while." I bowed, and there seemed to be a flicker of pain in his eyes, but it soon disappeared when Kriss whispered something into Maxon's ear, which caused him to laugh. I bit my lip, and went to the back stage. I noticed a flash of red as I did, guards with red marks. Rebels.

I gasped and turned back to check on the others, but Celeste pushed me back. I hid as I watched a red-marked guard shoot Celeste, and at that split second, everything went wild. The gunshots exploded, I could hear footsteps coming closer, I turned around, there was a rebel aiming a gun at me. Maxon rushed towards me, feeling helpless, I couldn't move, the gun fired and a white blur rushed to protect me. Maxon. Aspen ran out and shot the rebel, and I sighed in relief. " Come on, Mer! We need to move, Maxon is shot!" He yelled at me. I gasped. Maxon was shot? Aspen picked Maxon up from the ground, and left a puddle of blood. He carried Maxon away, and I ran frantically after them,

Aspen took us to a hidden safe room, "Mer, I am so sorry, I wish I was there." He looked at me with concern, I just nodded numbly and whispered "Go, go and help the others." Aspen looked at me, then left. I looked around the safe room, they were 6 bunk beds, some supplies and a first aid box. I quickly opened the box, there were only some pills and bandages. I took the bandages and went towards Maxon, he looked like he was in so many pain. I took out his shirt and wrapped the bandage around his bullet wound, he grunted as I did.

I couldn't help but look at his wound and whisper "Maxon..." He smiled sadly, "America, Look at me."

I looked at him, he brushed away a fallen piece of red hair. He whispered gently, " Break my heart. Break it a thousand times if you like. It was only ever yours to break anyway."

I blinked away the tears, and put a finger on his mouth, "Shhhh..."

He took an unsteady breath, he reached in his pocket and pulled out a red velvet box and opened it, he whispered ever so softly" America Singer, Will you marry me?"

I shook my head and smiled as the tears feel softly, "Save that for when you recover."

Maxon brushed away my tears, "There might no be a tomorrow, but I will always love you, I will love you till my heart stops beating. Till the sun goes down, till the moon goes down, till the world ends." He slipped the beautiful ring onto my finger, the diamond shone as bright as the stars above, and for a second I could forget everything.

"I will love you forever, Maxon Schreave," I swore, and crossed my heart.

"I will always love you, America Singer," Maxon also swore. His breathing slowed as he closed his eyes, and I stared at his chocolate brown ones. All I could remember was the soft footsteps of the hallway as the darkness took me in.
