Alfred's POV:

I sighed as I listened to the idle chitchat before the world meeting. Of course the one person I wanted to talk to was nowhere to be found. I really should have expected this, I mean the past four world meetings she had shown up at the last minute, determined not to have to make idle conversation with people who never understood her. Not like I could at least.

When she finally did show up, it was as if the Earth and Mother Nature both were determined to show me what a mess I had made of things. She swept into the room, wind blowing her through the door with her hair rushing forward, sun lighting behind her like a beautiful golden aura. She huffed quietly trying to reign in her golden curls, sighing as she saw they had no plan to surrender and look anything less than eye-catching.

She glanced around quickly, sweeping over me as best she could before she found an empty seat next to Japan. He smiled warmly and waved her over, and it was hard not to feel hurt at the relief that washed over her pale face. So this was how it was to start. I watched as she conversed easily with the Japanese man, they had always gotten along well. Although, truth be told, she had always gotten along well with most everyone. Once the world meeting commenced, she laid her face delicately into her hand as she stared into space, the sun filling the space behind her again, causing her to glow.

I sighed as I listened to Russia give us an update as to what was wrong with the world. I didn't need his incessant updates. I knew very well what was wrong in my world. Severe rainstorms plagued even the driest of states, hurricanes ravaged the coasts, and it was all my fault. I was the reason we both felt the way we did, or well….. The way I did. I couldn't be sure she felt the same way. For all I knew she could be perfectly glad to be rid of me. I certainly hoped not, though. I wanted us to give up the pretenses; I just wanted us to at least be friends again. Even that would be enough for me, if she would but look at me with those ocean blue eyes. But it was all over for now.

The sun is filling up the room
And I can hear you dreaming
Do you feel the way I do right now?
I wish we would just give up
Cause the best part is falling
Call it anything but love

Abbie's POV:

I sighed in relief when Germany announced the end of the meeting. I couldn't wait to escape this room. I had to get away from him before I broke down. Again. It was becoming more and more frequent and my country suffered because of it. They had had rain before, but never quite like this. I knew I shouldn't really be this depressed, it wasn't logical by any means. I stood and easily slid past people and into an opening elevator with a few other countries in it. When the doors closed halfway, one more body slipped into the opening and I had to bite my lip to keep from panicking.

Alfred. His name seemed to echo around my head nonstop these days. In fact, I wasn't really sure what had even been discussed at the world meeting today. I couldn't be this close to him. I avoided him at all possible moments, and these thirty seconds down the elevator might very well be the end of me. I couldn't even breathe with him this close and I really couldn't have him see me this way. I wasn't weak, I just…. Couldn't let him go. Even with my heart in a thousand pieces, every beat of it belonged to him. I only wished he could see how much I still longed for him, belonged to him.

And please don't stand so close to me
I'm having trouble breathing
I'm afraid of what you'll see right now
I give you everything I am
All my broken heart beats
Until I know you understand

Alfred's POV:

I wanted to say something so bad to her. I was standing with my arm almost touching hers. The burn to save us was unbearable. I just….. I couldn't do it with all these other countries around. It would mortify her if I made my case publicly, if I made us public. I took a deep breath before turning to face her. The panic in her eyes was clear to see, she resembled a deer that was cornered in the woods with a hunter, but I steeled myself and continued. "Abbie…. Could I speak to you for a moment? We could go for a walk or something?" I questioned gently and as quietly as possible.

I tried to ignore the looks from the other nations we were getting. She was all that was important. Everyone else could shove off for all I cared. She looked around nervously, but finally Japan nudged her and whispered something in her ear. She nodded almost imperceptibly before turning to look into my eyes. "Yes…" she whispered.

You keep waiting
To save what we have

And I keep waiting
For you to take me

*TWENTY MINUTES LATER*

Abbie and I were sitting on a bench in Central Park, the wind blowing her hair behind her. I took a deep breath before standing and offering her my hand. "Let's walk and talk. That way no one can eavesdrop." I add quickly, nodding towards Germany and Russia standing at the edge of the park.

Surprisingly she let me help her up and followed me without pause. I led her away from the crowds and stopped on the opposite side of the lake. I could still make out Germany and Russia on the other side, but at least we were alone. "Abbie…. I'm sorry. I know that I really screwed up and that you probably won't ever forgive me, but knowing that you hate me would be better than this limbo that we've been living in for weeks. I want us to be…. Us again. I was wrong. I always needed you. I just didn't realize it until I let you walk out my door. Please Abbie, I want to try again." I knew it was a long shot, that I was lucky she would even look me in the eyes after all the pain I had caused her. I didn't deserve her forgiveness and I certainly didn't deserve another second chance.

Finally she looked up at me and just stared, shock clearly displayed in her blue eyes. Apparently this wasn't how she had thought this conversation was going to go. I should have known she would have assumed that I would be a jerk again. The last time we talk still haunted my thoughts.

Abbie's POV:

I could not believe that Alfred had really said what I had been dreaming of him saying since the moment we broke up. He wanted me? He needed me? Was this still reality? I realized that I needed to say something, and as soon as I opened my mouth, the emotion became too much and the words poured out.

"Are you playing with me?" I asked feeling unsure and slightly hurt. His look of shock confirmed that he was really asking what I thought he was, that this was no dream but reality. "Abbie, I…" he started but I quickly cut him off.

"Because if you are, I can't deal with that. I can't deal with another heartbreak. Mine's already in pieces Alfred. I love you. I have always loved you. I thought that you loved me. Then I thought that I had imagined all those feelings between us. That perhaps I only saw what I wanted, and not what was actually happening. And if this is another one of those hallucinations then I would really like to just have it end. I cannot live through another let down. If it's over then…. Just let it end, for my sake. Because if you start this back up again and change your mind, I'll lose it and then I'll really go insane and…" I was almost sobbing at this point. His arms came around me and I sobbed into his chest. "You broke me… I didn't realize how much I really needed you Alfred. Please don't throw me away again or I'll" I started but soon his lips were crashing into mine.

I only hesitated a moment before kissing him back passionately. My arms snaked around his neck and he yanked me towards him. When we finally paused it was only because I needed oxygen, but his kisses stayed on my cheeks, nose, forehead, hair; whatever he could reach. "Alfred…." I whispered closing my eyes and resting my head on his chest.

His only response at first was tightening his arms around my waist. He pressed another kiss to my hair before lifting my chin so that I was looking at him. He stared into my eyes before he spoke, "Abbie…. I love you too. I know that we have a lot to work through, but you are the only one I want. But if you want me to leave you alone, I understand. I won't force you into anything you don't want to do."

Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at the man I had loved since we were in school. He loved me too. He wanted forgiveness. "Oh Alfred, yes." I reached up on my tippy toes and kissed him. He smiled into the kiss and deepened it.

"I love you Abbie." He said as he pulled me against his chest and pressed a kiss to my forehead.

A/N: So sorry I have taken such a long hiatus. I'm trying really hard to either update or wrap up all the stories have going. Thanks so much for being so great though! xD Please review!

That's right. It's right there, below. Just review. Just do it.
