I wake up to the sunshine hitting my face. My maids are already starting their daily routine, prepping my dresses for the day. "Miss, you have to get up now if you want to be on time for breakfast," Anne reminds me. After slipping into my beautiful green day dress and curling my hair, I am ready to go. I open the door to meet Aspen. "Hey mer," he smiles and looks at me. I nod and continue down the hall. "So this is how it's going to be?" he yells. "Not now Aspen, I have to go," I turn and tell him. He looks at the ground and goes back to his post. I walk into the dinning room; all the girls are already seated. I take my seat, catching Maxon's eye. I tug my ear, and he quickly scratches his ear. I eat my breakfast pretty quickly, and return to my room, awaiting Maxon's visit. I hear a knock on the door, only to find Aspens face looking down on me. "Aspen listen, I –" he cuts me off with a kiss on the lips. I push back, looking up into his eyes. "Aspen! I can't do this anymore." "Mer, come on, I am your first love! I never meant to leave you in that tree house, I regret it everyday." He looks away. "Well I have a new life now. Maxon is different than what I thought he was, I think I am in love with him." He looks at me, anger in his eyes. "NO! I LOVE YOU AMERICA AND I KNOW DEEP INSIDE YOU LOVE ME TOO!" he pulls me into a strong passionate kiss. I fight back, but he is too strong and pushes me into the wall. I see Maxon at the doorway, his smile quickly fads. "WHAT THE HELL?" he screams. He grabs Aspen and pushes him to the ground. Aspen quickly scrambles off the floor and punches Maxon in the face, sending him to the ground. "Aspen, you need to stop. I love Maxon, and that's that." He pins my shoulders to the wall, "I guess I will have to change your mind"…..
