My opinion on the selection. It was quite chaotic. Though, I did make quite a few friends. When there was only 4 left, I decided I should start talking to the selected more. I loved speaking with Elise, Celeste, and Kriss, but, the person I felt I was friends with the most was America. We were so close it felt as if we had known each other for years.
When Maxon chose his new wife, everything was amazing. The ceremony was beautiful, there were so many friends, I could go on! When he got on one knee in front of America I was so happy for them. Afterwards, me and America were talking until Celeste and Elise joined. They said Kriss was too upset to talk, and I understood.
Everything was perfect until a couple days later...
I was out walking in the hallway late at night. I was walking towards the stairs to go to my room until I passed my fathers office. I heard him yelling. I walked closer to the door, curious.
"You idiot! Why would you choose the stupid five! She's worthless and selfish! Maybe I should hurt her instead since you just can't seem to learn." In between sentences, I would hear maxons muffled screams. I wanted to help him so much but I would get in so much trouble if I went in there. I felt a tear fall down my face. I hated seeing my brother hurt. He was like my best friend, my other half, the person I could talk to any day about anything. I would do anything for him, but right now, the only way I could help him was to wait for him to go to his room.
I stood by the door, waiting. I heard footsteps coming and I quickly went in the hallway and grabbed Maxon pulling him into my room. I could tell he was shocked but pain took over and he let out a grunt. I wrapped my arms around his neck and held on close to him, crying.
"I'm sorry, I should have done something, I'm so so sorry." I cried.
"It's okay." He replied surprisingly calm. "There's nothing you could have done. But can you please help?"
I nodded and laid him on my bed. I got out cleaning supplies and started cleaning it. I disinfected three cuts until I heard a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" I called.
"It's America!"
"Come in."
She walked in and once she saw the sight, her eyes filled with fear and sadness. Tears ran down her face as she came running over to maxons side. I continued cleaning and bandaging and soon he was good to go. Him and America got up and I gave them both hugs. Maxon left while America stayed and we spoke.
"Thank you for helping him." She said kindly.
"No problem. He is my brother after all." I said jokingly. "But... I passed by my fathers office when it happened... I just can't stand to sit around while this happens to him. I... I have to do something. Please don't tell him. He will stop me."
Her eyes filled with fear again and she nodded slowly. "Go hang out with Maxon. He probably needs you." She nodded and left. Soon after, I left and walked towards my fathers study.
