Chapter Twenty-One
Being back in Ilea seems so weird after being in England for as long as I was. I almost forgot what it is like being a country that isn't free. The caste system is still here haunting people and families. I know that as soon as that crown is on my head that is the first thing I will start working on. If we are going to have a stable country that people want to live in than the caste system needs to go, and I think all the royal families all over the world agree with me.
The reaction to me leaving from England was actually quite surprising to me. The English people were so supportive, and they wished me good luck. The people of Ilea were joyous about getting me back in their competition. I don't really know what I expected, to be honest I kind of was bracing myself for criticism and hate, but none came.
"You look like you're thinking too hard." Someone says from my doorway. I look up a little startled by the surprise voice, but a smile spreads over my face as Maxon's voice settles in my vision. I smile at him and sit up on my bed, forgetting about the book I had been reading.
"Hey stranger." I tease. Maxon comes over to sit next to me, and draws me in for a kiss. Our lips move together for a couple moments before we draw back for a breath, but our faces remain close to each other's.
"I've had unbearable meetings all day. My father insists that I be at every single one of them because I will be taking over pretty soon. I think he's convinced that he's going to attract a deadly disease and die tomorrow." Maxon says, rolling his eyes. I laugh, and stroke his hair, as he rests his head in my lap.
"Your father just wants to make sure you know what you are doing." I say, and I am shocked to hear myself defend King Clarkson. It's like a loud obnoxious bell ringing continuously in my ear. I try to suck it up for Maxon's sake, though.
"I never thought you defending my father would ever see the light of day." Maxon teases, and I smack his chest playfully.
"I can be nice sometimes, you know" I say, in a matter-of-face tone. Maxon winks at me, with a goofy expression all over his face.
"I prefer when you're not, though." He says, his voice husky. It makes me roll my eyes, but in all actuality I am bursting with joy and happiness inside. Being back with the old Maxon gave me butterflies in my stomach. Words cannot describe my happiness at being back here in Maxon's arms. As soon as the plane hit landing back in Ilea Maxon was already sending the other girls back home. I don't want to say I am glad that they got sent home so fast, but if I am being honest I have to admit I am happy that the stupid competition is over, even if it didn't happen the way I always pictured it. The people in Ilea were thrilled that I came back, and I am glad they have finally accepted me as their next leader.
"Behave, Maxon Schreave!" I scold, playfully and he just grins mischievously at me making fireworks go off in my head. I lean down and press my lips against his, and we kiss for almost a whole minute before we have to come up for air. His sparking brown eyes stare up at me, and I can't help but think back to when those brown eyes held nothing for me. All they were to me was two eyes full of snobbish actions and money. I remember when my mother had to bribe me just so I would join The Selection. It's funny to think about it now.
"What are you thinking about?" Maxon asks me, and I smile at him.
"I'm thinking about what you used to be to me. Before I really got to know the real Maxon Schreave." I say, racking my fingers threw his soft, blond hair.
"Oh really? Now I'm interested in hearing about what you thought of the fake Maxon." Maxon says, amusement shinning on his face. I continue to rake my fingers threw his hair.
"I thought you were a complete and utter snob." I say, not holding back my words. Maxon's eyes widen but he doesn't say anything and lets me continue. "I thought the whole Selection was stupid and useless, and pretty much used only for attention. You proved me wrong, though, completely wrong."
"What do you think of me now?" Maxon asks, covering my hand with his own.
"I think you're amazing. I've told everyone this, but I think you are one of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life. I love you more than anything in this world, and even though we have been threw a lot together If time erased I would do the exact same thing over again because I love you, and I will always fight for you, no matter the circumstance." By the time my speech is over Maxon looks close to tears.
"You, my America, are the most amazing, beautiful, and perfect girl I have ever known. I am the luckiest man on the planet to be able to hold you in my arms every day. You have no idea how glad I am that we are finally allowed to be together without any interruptions." Maxon says, as he reaches up and plays with then ends of my hair. His head is still resting in my lap, and I can't even explain how good and relaxing this is. Maxon it's up, and pulls me into his arms so we are both laying on the bed cuddling. Everything feels like it's frozen in time, and no one else in the world matters, but Maxon and America. I feel as if nothing could break us from this moment full of passion and comfort. A noise hit's my ears, and I panic. Of course this is what would happen to me when I am finally getting some times with Maxon.
The Rebels are attacking.
I had to do something to spice things up a little bit! Now that Mason is gone for the moment I had to do something to add some drama for at least a couple of chapters. I realized I never really did anything with the rebels and they are so important in Kiera's novels so I know I have to write my version of them. So sorry for the cliffhanger by the way!
So I want to let you all know that I am EXTREMELY PROUD AND HAPPY! This story, Forever The One, is the FOURTH most reviewed story in ALL of the SELECTION fanfictions. I would absolutely DIE if my fans got it to number ONE! The most reviewed is called Chasing The Crown and it has 540 Reviews, but it is also complete and has 37 chapters! My story has 20 chapters and is already so close! I love you guys so much, and the reviews compare nothing to your continuous support! I think the reviews are just an extra bonus! Thanks for everything .
So, Dance Moms fans. I have a question for you, what is your personal pyramid? I have a pyramid, and it's pretty harsh because I am a dancer myself so I know what it's like…..my personal pyramid is….
Chloe
Brooke, Nia, Paige
Kendall, Kalani, Mackenzie, Maddie
I know it's mean, but I really don't like Maddie. She always seems like such a brat to me, and I've met her in real life, and she acted the same way as she does on the TV show when my best friend beat her at a competition! I love Chloe, she's such a sweetheart and I love her to death. I WANT BROOKE AND PAIGE BACK! Oh, and if Chloe leaves I am done watching. What is your pyramid? Let me know in your review!
PRETTY LITTLE LIARS FANS! Who do you think is A? I personally think Ezra is still involved somehow because I mean come on, who actually bought the whole book thing? I think that is just a cover up for something big! Who is ready for #AliTellsAll? I love Alison! Alison and Aria are my two favorite characters on the show! I also LOVE #Ezria and I miss those two like CRAZY! Emily is my least favorite liar, and Paige can go dig a hole and LIVE IN IT WITH ASPEN! Who do you guys think is A? Let me know in a review!
You guys should PM me…..I don't bite I promise!
Thanks!
