Maine sighed as she stared at the calendar. Today was the day September 11th, 9/11, how could she forget?
The morning attacks shocked her so bad and all she could do was worry about Alfred in his meeting with the other countries. She was even more terrified as more states were getting attacked. She wanted to scream, cry, anything! She just couldn't though no matter how she tried. She watched in horror as the planes slammed into their target. Watched as people jumped to their deaths and burned alive. Finally after not being able to watch herself she ran to New York as fast as she could.
She wanted to be a hero today along with others. By the time she got there it was too late. The towers collapsed. Then she cried she just cried. When she finally calmed a bit and noticed how much dust she had on her. Her phone rang before she could just it off. It was England. Telling her that America was in the hospital now. She told him thank you and ran to the hospital as fast as he legs could make her run. She ran and ran until she got to Alfred's hospital room.
When she slammed open the room door the nations looked shocked at all the dust that was on her. Her blazer she wore was cut the shreds by falling debris. Her bright baby blue scarf was now a darker greyish-blue and it looked like she had a wound on her leg.
Canada got up and gave her his seat. He knew why she looked this bad. Even though she was supposed to stay in Maine today she took after her father. Maine sat there in the seat crying because she needed to let them out holding America's hand the whole time.
~September 11,2011~
Maine sat there on the bench waiting for the other state and countries to arrive. In her right hand she held candles and in the left matches. As she looked into the sky again she heard everyone.
After everyone had light the candles they gathered around.
"This is the first anniversary since Bin Laden died." England said.
"Yes, it is and thank the lord for that." Maine said.
Alfred's eyes were still clouded with tears so he just nodded and smiled.
"T-thank you guys. Thank you so much!" Alfred said as soon as he got his voice back. Thay all smiled at him.
