Present day
Maxons POV:
The letter told me everything. She made this cabin and stayed here sometimes in case of something were to happen. I wondered how America was holding up back at the palace. I just wanted to know she was safe. She took on all those people alone. They could kill her. So many times in the past days she's been here I've been worrying if she was ok. I missed her and now she was back and she keeps getting so close to not coming back.
America's POV:
The southern rebels lay on the floor in pain. I hope Maxon found the cabin. The workers all stood up once all the rebels were down. They all thanked me and I could only smile. They all left quickly. I went upstairs to check if the orthers were ok. As I walked in I saw they were still fighting a few. I pulled out a taser and tazed one. I quickly attacked the others with my staff. "I saw you needed help." "Sure we needed help but you didn't have to take the them all down." Ellie said mockingly "Wheres the king?" She asked. I could tell there was a little bit of fear in her eyes. "The cabin. I think.." "What do you mean I think?!" "I gave him a knife and told him where to go! I had to take on 15 rebels for crying out loud! They had hostages!" I explained. She sighed "we better go check then." We made our way to the gardens and then out to the forest and finally to the cabin. We went to the fireplace and went down. Then when the door opened I saw Maxon he looked like he was afraid rebels had found out about this and came to take him but when he saw me he relaxed. I stepped out. I held my hand out for him to take and he took it. "What happened to your face?" He asked. There was a cut on my right cheek that was still bleeding a little and would definitely leave a scar. "Just got cut by one if the rebels." "You say it like it's normal and an everyday thing." I smiled and hugged out and gave a quick chuckle. "You wouldn't believe it." We made our way back to the castle and then I took Maxon back to his office. "Stay safe." I said as he was about to go into his office. Then there was silence. He stood in the doorway still looking at me and I was looking at him. He quickly put his arm around my back and pulled me close to him as our lips met and we kissed. I didn't realize how much I missed it until I had it. Then as sudden as it came, it ended. "Goodbye my America." He said as he closed the door. He didn't close it fast but it wasn't slow. It was like he knew he had to but didn't want to. I quickly made my way to my room and fell asleep on my bed.
