America's P.O.V
I was awakened by Celeste pacing around. I slowly allowed my eyes to adjust to the bright lights. I wondered why I was sleeping in Celeste's bed, but then all of the events came back, haunting me. I started to sob about everything. My crying awakened Celeste out of her trance of pacing around and she hurriedly came over and held me.
"Th-thanks, C-Celeste." I managed to croak out
"Anything for you America." She replied while getting me water "I am sorry America but Maxon told me that he was going to send you home and marry Kriss. I am really sorry, I tried everything to get him to listen to you. I am sorry for letting you down."
"Celeste, don't blame anything on yourself. You never let me down, I am so grateful that I have such a great friend like you."
"Thanks America. When you go home, feel free to always come to me whenever you want. But for now, you have to keep your head up and smile like none of this happened. Just like how you taught me. You have to show the world that you are America Signer, the girl who saved her family and made history. The girl who had a temper but also could crack jokes even at the worst time. You are the America, the five who helped tend the soldiers before herself. You don't have to be the America everybody thinks you are, because I think that they would like the true girl who could stand up for anyone evening though that means risking your own lives. If Maxon doesn't accept this America then he is not the right guy for you. When you get in to the ballroom I want you to flirt with everybody. Don't pay attention to him." Celeste said while combing my hair
"Wow! That was a great speech and thanks. I know you will have millions of boys fall for you when you get home." I said with wide eyes. I never knew how deep Celeste was.
"Now to beautify you!" Celeste squealed while clapping her hand
3 hours later…..
Next thing I know it, Celeste has me dressed in a lavender strapless dress with ruffles at the bottom. (Dress on the bottom of the page) she put me in a three inch heels with whit soft leather. My make up consisted of a blue to faded white eye shadow and everything else. My earrings were white and sparkly. I was stunned when I looked in to the mirror, not only did Celeste did a good job, I saw how much I changed. I came here as a young girl who couldn't control her temper. I remember how afraid I used to be and how I only came here for my family and that I never loved Maxon. But now I fought my hardest for him and that I stood up straight and tall, I looked so much like a queen but I will never be one. I felt tears prick my eyes as I thought about how much I sacrificed for telling my opinion about the caste and it will never pay off. Maxon got those lashes for no reason. But the most regretful thing was that King Clarkson got what he wanted. He finally will have his dream of me getting eliminated come true. I swatted those thought aside and plastered on a fake smile.
"I am going to tell my maids good-bye and that you got me ready. I guess I will see you at the ballroom later?" I said weakly
"Yes, I will be there waiting for you. Remember to keep your head held high. I will see you later America." Celeste replied
I nodded my head and slipped through Celeste door making my way back to my own room.
