Chapter Seven

It's only been a few hours since the whole situation with Prince Mason. I admit that I have thought about his offer. Maxon has not visited me since I got home from my shopping trip, and Celeste was the first to inform me that he has spent the whole day with Kriss. I guess that is what brought the whole thing to mind. Mason seemed sincere about his offer, and Maxon is acting like an evil clone of himself. Everything is just so weird and messed up right now that I don't really know what to believe anymore. Maxon has told me he loved me more than once, but now it's like all of that has been erased.

What If Mason was right about Maxon not deserving me?

I know I said it sounds crazy, but Mason makes it all sound so real, and true. I shake the thoughts out of my head, and fall down on my bed with an exasperated sigh. Why did I join this stupid competition? Why did I allow Aspen and my mother talk me into this madness? I could have saved myself so much heartbreak, and so much pain if I would have just stayed, and not signed those papers. A knock on my door makes me sit up, and straighten my hair. A part of me wants it to be Maxon, but the other part dreads are next conversation.

I open my door to reveal none other than Kriss. I look at her with a surprised expression, and take note of her overjoyed expression. I stand up straighter, and try my best to smile at the girl who is stealing my happiness.

"Good evening, Kriss what can I do for you?" I ask, trying my hardest to be as nice as I can.

"Can I come in?" She asks, in a sickly, sweet voice that makes me want to be nice. I nod and let her into my room. She makes herself at home and sits on my bed, her eyes look up and down the rack of dresses made by the talented hands of my maids. She finally looks back at me, and smiles softly.

"You really have some talented maids." She says

"I wouldn't trade them for the world." I say, feeling very uncomfortable in her presence. I don't like being around her when I know what she has been doing to Maxon. I know how Kriss is, she can sweet talk anyone.

"I will be sure to promote them as my head maids when I'm princess." My heart stops as soon as the sentence settles in my ears. She's pulling my leg, she has to be!

"Excuse me?" I sputter out, and Kriss turns her soft eyes towards me. Her face breaking out into a breathtaking smile. She reaches into her pocket, and pulls out a sparkling diamond ring that had to of cost a fortune. It's a ring fit for a princess. My worst nightmare is coming true, and I don't know If I can handle it coming to reality.

"Maxon proposed to me this morning. He told me not to tell anyone, but remember we promised to tell each other everything? I thought you would like to know that anything he says to you anymore is a lie, America. He's mine now, and we love each other very much." I don't know how to answer this. I don't know what to say. I can't get the air to flow through my lungs. I don't know what to do.

"You didn't honestly think he was going to pick you, did you? America to be a Princess you have a have poise and elegance, and you have to at least be beautiful. The stunt you pulled on the report just proves you are nothing, but a poor Five who wants the glory. You had to of known that Maxon has higher standards than you." Each word that comes out of her mouth Is like a large icy hot needle being stabbed into my sin. I want to cover my ears, and never hear that sickly sweet voice ever again. I can't handle all of the red hot anger building up inside of me.

"Get out." I say threw gritted teeth. "Get out of my room right now." I can practically hear Kriss smirk, happy with the reaction she has pulled out of me. She's nothing but a less pretty version of Celeste, and if that is what Maxon wants to live with you than that's what is going to happen. He's crazy if I am going to stay here and keep playing his game. I can't do this anymore. "Damn it Kriss! Get out of my room!" My voice is higher, and I am trying my hardest to hold back the tears burning the best of my throat, and blurring my vision. Kriss finally stands up and straightens the skirt, and gives me one last smile.

"I really thought you would have more common sense than that, America. I just thought you would like to know before the live proposal." Then she is gone, leaving me alone in my empty, lonely room. I let the tears come freely down freely. I cry until I can't cry anymore. I am curled up in my bed crying my heart out, sobbing hysterically. How could Maxon do this to me? Why did I have to know from Kriss?

He really doesn't love me.

The crying continues for I don't know how long. I don't even hear my door being knocked on, or being opened for that matter. I only realize this person is in my room when I feel a strong arm wraps around my frail, and sobbing body. I jerk away in repulse not wanting anyone near me right now. All I want to do is lie here looking and feeling miserable. I don't want anyone to see me right now.

"Go away, Maxon." My voice is full of bitterness, and hate.

"I'm not Maxon, love." A low, thick British accent replies. I shoot up, and meet the light brown eyes of Prince Mason. I blush instantly, horrified by the state I am in. I don't want him to see me like this. "I heard you crying outside of your room as I was walking by. I wanted to check and make sure you are alright, but now I see that you are definitely not alright. Tell me what is wrong." Mason's soft voice comforts me, and I relax in his arms. I don't know if I should tell him, but I do know that I need to tell someone before I explode.

"He d-doesn't l-love m-me." I stutters, crying harder. Mason doesn't answer for a couple more minutes, but he stills holds me while I cry. It's one of the most comforting things, and I don't want to be alone anymore.

"Please explain more, love." I don't have to explain more because I know what I want to do. I know that I cannot stand to be here any longer. I can't be a part of this cruel game anymore. All of this has gone too far.

"I want to leave with you." I say quietly. There is only silence after it leaves my mouth. I quickly regret saying this because he probably already changed his mind about it. What was I thinking?

"Do you really mean it?" Mason's voice is so soft I am surprised I heard it.

"Of course I mean it. I need to get out of here." I gasp softly when Mason instantly stands. I stare up at him.

"Pack your things we leave an hour" Then he is gone, and I am once again alone. I don't know if this was a smart move, but I do that I want to see Maxon pain, I want revenge and this is just the way to get it. One flash of that diamond ring flashes threw my mind and I am up packing my bags

I am leaving Ilea and never looking back.

Okay Maxerica fans I know you all pretty much want to kill me right now, but don't you guys like drama? I would just like to point out that I have 80 reviews with only six chapters! That is amazing considering how little time this story has been up on the site. Thank you so much for the reviews!

Someone should write a story about after Maxon and America get married…..I want to read something like that where it actually gets updated. I know there is one, but I want MORE! Lol, sorry Minnie rant right there, folks!

Thanks to all the supporters of this story! You guys are what makes me want to write a chapter every day!

So I came up with something that will be fun. I am going to as you something about myself and give you clues to the answer. Whoever guesses the answer correct in the review will get a sneak peak of the next chapter!

First one…

What is my middle name?
