I just asked Kriss to marry me. She said yes right away. I already regret this. America doesn't have any emotion on her face. I give Kriss a long sweet kiss. America walks off the stage. She goes to Celeste who looks like she could kill someone. I grab Kriss's hand and walk off the stage too. I put a smile on my face like I didn't just make the biggest mistake of my life. She talks to Celeste but I don't look for long. But when I do America isn't even crying. She looks like she is happy. But it's fake.
I walk over to my Mother who looks so happy. She hugs Kriss and so does my Father. Kriss wants to go talk to the girls. "Please Maxon come with me!" She pulls me along. She goes to America and Celeste. Then the Prince of England goes over before we get there. As I get closer I hear what he is saying. "America how are you holding up?" His accent makes America smile.
"I would rather not talk about that." She looks down collecting herself.
"I know how it feels when someone you love chooses another."
"I would rather change the subject and talk about food." Liam starts to laugh at America's comment. Then he hugs her. Just hugs her in front of everyone. He whispers something in her ear. I hear a faint laugh. "America come to England with me?" She looks at him and takes a step back. She looks down at the ground. "You know Kriss and him will be everywhere. Come see the world. Get drunk, have crazy sex. Marry me or marry someone else. Jump off a cliff. But don't just stay here where your heart will never heal." He grabs America and he pulls her to the floor with him.
"I would like that but not the sex part. Don't want King Clarkson to kill me." She is dead serous.
"Fine but you will marry me?"
"No, I want to come with you though. I hear Europe has amazing food." He laughs again. Celeste is talking to Kriss now. Kirss has a death grip on my hand and it hurts. "You really want to come?" Liam puts his hands on America shoulders. She nods. "I will need the afternoon to get ready. Also I need to say goodbye to Celeste. She worried about me. Wants to kill Maxon for choosing Kriss." Liam laughs. Then he hugs America. "America!" Kriss yells. I walk over and America puts back on her fake smile and gets up.
"I am so happy for you. I always knew that you would make a great wife and Princess. I wish you two all the best." America doesn't flinch saying any of that. She smiles and Liam shakes his head.
"America is going to come to England with me to live." Liam says. Kriss looks at America and then me.
"Why are you moving to England?" Kriss asks.
"I want to see the world with my own eyes. I think that I would be most happy in England. I also think that I should go visit Italy. I was invited a while ago it would be rude not to go." She bites her lip, fighting the tears. "I hope you have fun America. When will you comeback?"
"Never" Liam says. I look at his glare towards me. "I think she won't be able to leave. The food is too good."
"Didn't you just meet her?" Kriss asks. I look at him.
"I know how she feels right now. She feels trapped and afraid. I was someones second choice and it hurts. I see that she is in pain. I don't like when a woman is in pain. So I am trying to make it a tiny bit better. Now America has to go pack and say goodbye." America stands there, looking at Kriss's ring.
"Yes Liam." She says.
"Really?"
"Yes." She walks away making all eyes on her. She runs over and gives Celeste a hug, and runs to go pack.. I want to go after her. She needs me but I did this to her. "Liam what are you doing?" I ask.
"Taking America to be my wife." He says plainly.
"Why?" I ask
"If you weren't so dumb you would be able to see that America is going to be a perfect Queen. She is going to be a perfect wife. I want both those things and she wants to get as far away from you. I will be there for her as she gets over you. Then I will make her my wife." Liam says. "And her eyes are just perfect too."
"So you want America.? Don't worry you guys will be married soon, America doesn't love me." I say.
"You are dumb. She is right now crying and packing up all she has. She is dying on the inside seeing you with Kriss. She is so hurt right now that is why she willing to go anywhere that you can't follow."
"I am not dumb, she does not love me!" Liam just walks away, says goodbye to my parents and leaves. I hear him see America. "Thank you Liam." I hear America say. That's the last thing I will hear come from America's voice.
