A/N: I was totally not expecting this story to become as known as it is. I'd just like to thank anyone and everyone who decided to read this :)
Sorry for my failure of typing a French accent, btw

America hurries out of the room so no one would have a chance to object. He races down the hallways, shouting England's name, hoping the Brit is still around. He'd do whatever it takes to find England and make sure he's safe. After searching almost the entire building without any progress, he decides to check around town. He thinks England must've just left the building and start walking around somewhere.
But where...?
England could be anywhere by now, since it has been a while since he left. He could have hidden somewhere, or even left to go back to his home country. Shit, this was not good. Not good at all. For all America knew, he could puking out food again at this very moment.
America became frantic. He couldn't find England on his own here. He needed help from people. He'll need a few of the other nations to help him.
Maybe Canadia... No, Canada could help me!
He sighs and heads back inside the building to the room they had all been in. When he opens the doors, all eyes land on him, some filled with worry and others with boredom.
"Did you find England?" Germany asks from his spot at the podium.
"England's... missing..." America says slowly. A couple of the nations gasp a little.
"Angleterre's missing~?" France asks, genuinely worried.
America was conflicted as to whether he should mention the past events that led to England disappearing. Then again, it's not like saying all of that will help them on their hunt to find him. It will just cause a mess later. A mess that only he, the hero, should handle. So all America does is tell them how he searched everywhere and couldn't find England. There's truly no need to worry them about England's personal problems.
America's still trying to figure out why England would even be doing this in the first place. There's no reason for him to do so… right? He's always talking about how strong he was back then. He never shows any signs of weakness, unless certain things, such as that one day, are mentioned. There couldn't be a logical reason for him to stoop down to this.
A couple months ago, at a G8 meeting, England didn't seem to have any trouble eating those scones of his, but now it seems as though he can't even hold a few bites inside of himself. Maybe something happened between then and when he started, which, as he had stated, was about a month ago.
But what could it have been?
"We can search for 'im after ze meeting is over if you'd like, Amerique," France inquires.
"Well, I don't want to trouble all of you guys, so maybe only a couple of you can help," America replies.
The hard part was deciding to have help. Canada could, he knows that. France… Well, he and England have known each other for a long time, so it'd make sense if France was there to help. Japan could also be a good addition…
America sits down for the rest of the meeting. Although, it was obvious to other nations that he wasn't paying attention at all. They all thought it was only because England was missing, when it was really something deeper than that.
America knows about anorexia and bulimia. He's read stories on it before, and how people do it to keep themselves from getting fat. Although, instead of resorting to doing that, he exercises a lot, since he knows that he eats more than he should. He's pretty sure England isn't throwing up to keep himself skinny, since he has always been naturally thin and petite. That's the reason why America's worried about England. If it's not because he's trying to lose weight, then there's something else going on…
Once the meeting was over, America asks France, Canada, and Japan if they'd help him search around for signs of England. Much to his delight, they all agree. The other nations said that if they see him around while going back to their hotels, they'd call him, which America was thankful for. Everyone, besides the America and the other three, leaves the meeting room, saying their goodbyes and wishing America luck.
I'm sure England would be happy to see how much these guys do care about him… including me…
Once everyone except for the four of them had gone, Canada turns to America with a questioning look.
"How come you're so worried about England all of a sudden? I mean, it's possible he wasn't feeling well, and decided to go home, you know."
Francis shook his head at Canada. "I don't think so, Canada. England would've told someone. Amerique… is 'ere something you're not telling us?"
America sighs. He should've known they would've suspected something.
"America-san…?" Japan asks, worried.
America sits down in one of the meeting chairs, and he tells them. He tells them everything he had seen. Everything that had happened. He didn't realize he had started tearing up while telling them until Japan handed him a tissue to wipe away the tears that were rolling down his face. When he was done, he saw horror etched across all of their faces, except for Japan's, who always kept a calm look. Although, inside, he was just as horrified as the others.
"That's terrible! Why would Angleterre do such a thing?"
America sighs again, shaking his head. "I have no idea. I've been trying to figure that out this entire time…"
Japan puts his hand on America's shoulder. "Don't worry, America-san. We'll find him soon."
America nods. He really hopes Japan was right. He didn't know how much longer he could take this. The thought of England out there by himself, doing who knows what, scared America. What if he was throwing up right now?
No. He couldn't let these thoughts get inside his head. He needed to focus on the task at hand: find England. He'll worry about what to do with the Brit once they find him. For now, they'll just have to go out and see if they can locate England first.
I will find you, England…
