America's P.O.V
I quickly scurried out of my room and headed back to my own room. While walking down the stairs, I heard faint giggling and a man's voice. Curiosity gave in and I followed the sound to Kriss's room. I wished I had never peered in because I saw Kriss and Maxon in a full out make out session. I watched as Maxon trace patterns on her back just like how he use to do that to me. Maxon started to take off her dress, and I left.
I entered in to my room and automatically spotted the jar with a penny in it. I took it and threw it off my balcony and heard the glass break with a satisfying crunch. I couldn't keep my motion in check anymore, I screamed and sobbed at the same time, breaking the violin Maxon gave me and throwing the blue bracelet he gave me on the ground and stomped on it, causing all the beads to fall off. Hearing my screams, my maids came rushing in and their jaws dropped to the ground on seeing how messy the room was. Thank god, Celeste gave me water proof make up. Anne was the first to recover. She rushed towards me while snapping the other maids out of their shocks.
"What happened, Lady America?" Anne asked
"I am going home." I said while sniffling. "I just want to say good bye to you guys. I am going to miss you so much!"
"Oh, I am truly sorry, miss. I really thought he loved you." They said
"It's ok. I said, I am going to go. Bye guys and always write to me. I already have everything packed, so you guys can have a day off. I will miss you all!"
With that I started my journey to the dining hall. I decided to stop by the garden one more time. It was so beautiful. Kriss would love it when Maxon takes her out here. I went back inside and headed toward the dining room. When I got there I was in awe. It was decorated with white, as if this was a weeding. I was early so I walked around and helped other maids do finishing touches.
An hour later everything was set up. I took a step back and marveled our work. It was amazing. I was devastated on how I will be leaving this place in 5 short hours and return home. Guest started to fill in, and they all complimented me on how I set this up. I thanked them and moved on to the next.
Everybody became silent when the king and Maxon stood up and said cheers for everybody who was in here and how Maxon was getting married. I caught Maxon's eye and he gave me a cold glare. I felt all of my hope deflate out of me. I was about to leave but I spotted Princess Nicoletta come toward me.
"You made it!" I exclaimed while embracing her
"Of course I would come. Why would I not come see Maxon propose to you?" she said
Another part of me died when I saw her expression when I told her I lost. For the rest of the night she comforted me.
