England glared at France. He knew what he was talking about. He was talking about what America saw. America. England still didn't want to look him in the eye. He hates him for getting most likely all the nations involved in this. It was his secret, after all. It wasn't supposed to be found out. But of course, life being as it is, America had walked in on him.

"I don't have anything to explain."

He truly doesn't. It was none of their business to know anything. They didn't deserve to, especially since most of them are the cause of it. Always making him feel insecure about himself. They shouldn't get the privilege of knowing anything.

"Can I leave now? I'm perfectly fi—"

"No you're not!"

It was England's turn to look shocked. America's cut-in was certainly not expected. Even the other nations in the room were surprised at his sudden outburst. England growls a little. How dare that stupid American interrupt him, acting like he knows that England is fine. He doesn't know anything. He's always oblivious. England hates how America just outright said England wasn't okay. He makes it seem as though he knows exactly how people feel, when, in fact, he doesn't know shit.

If he did, he would've known how England had felt for so long: pain, sadness, loneliness. But he'll never know. He'll never understand, since he's always surrounded by love and happiness. Family and friends. People who actually care about him. While England… doesn't have anyone. Doesn't have someone to share his opinions or worries with. No one to help him when he needs someone.

All of this was useless: them trying to help him right now. No matter what they do, he's pretty sure that he'll never be fixed. It's probably too late to save him now. Lately, it's been hard to truly be happy. Instead, he'd just force a smile whenever someone would talk to him. He knows that most of the nations would be too stupid to tell how fake he's acting. Either that or they'd just not care to see if he's alright or not.

"Please… just let me leave…" England says quietly. He knows that if he tries to make a run for it, there's a big chance he'll be caught. The only way he'll be able to get out of here is by persuading them to let him out. Although if that doesn't work either, then…

"Angleterre, you have a problem. You need help," France says softly.

England clicks his tongue in annoyance. What do you they know about helping others? They were unable to help him before, so what makes them think they'll be able to now. They're all just crazy. They have to be to think he can be helped. There's no way he can be.

No bloody way…

"I don't need help! Just get the fuck out of here!"

Silence. That's all there is right now. They're all stunned again. What? Is it this odd to see him breaking down before them? Wanting to be alone? No. That's not what he wants. He doesn't want to be alone anymore. Yet… he also doesn't want to be around them. Not these people. Not the ones who, in truth, don't care about that.

Yes! That must be it! They're only pretending to care about him to seem like good people. They actually don't give a shit about how he is. America just wants to feel like a "hero", doesn't he? It has to be it. They couldn't possibly care about him. They just couldn't.

"You guys don't care about me…" There. He finally let it out. He finally told them. He's going to call them out. He wants them to know that he knows how they feel about him. He's not oblivious, like America is. He knows when people hate him.

"Wha—? What the hell are you talking about, England?" America asks.

It's just like him to act like he doesn't know what England's talking about. Pretending to be innocent. It makes England sick. He's tired of their acting. He just wants to be left alone. If they want to pretend to be nice, they should just go to someone else.

"Get the bloody hell out of here!"

More silence. England hates the silence. It just makes him feel even more alone, despite being in a room with other people.

"We'll leave you to rest, then," Japan says. He gives a look to France, who instantly nods and leaves the room, along with Canada. Japan follows behind them. Before America had left, England looks up and makes eye contact with him. He can tell that America is hurt by the look in his eyes. Good. He deserves to go through just as much pain as England did. That bloody traitor.

Now England's all alone… again. Just like he always is.

I've always been alone…

XxXxX

The four of them were walk down the hallways of the hospital they're in. America was silent the entire time, which worried the others. Obviously, England's yelling had upset him.

None of them had ever seen England like that before. It was a totally new side of him. His eyes… whenever they were directed at one of them, they showed so much hate inside of them. It wasn't the same kind of hatred or annoyance he had whenever he was arguing with someone, though. It was different in a way they couldn't explain.

"What're we gonna do about zis?" France asks, breaking the silence. "We can't leave him alone once he's allowed out of here."

That was true. Not just because he's forcing himself to throw up, but because… there's something off about him. Something that worries all of them. England's obviously going through something, but, unfortunately, none of them can figure out what it is. He seemed fine during the meeting earlier. But what if that was just an act? What if something had been bothering him for a while now? Whatever it was, America was determined to help him through it, even if he doesn't want any help.

"You guys don't care about me…"

What was up with that comment he had made. That statement had really shocked America, along with the others. Is that what England truly thought? If so, why? There's no reason for him to think that way, right?

"Maybe… I could watch over him once he gets out. He could, like, stay with me at my house," America suggests.

"Stay with you? Are you sure he'd agree to that?" Canada asks.

America sighs. At this point, and after their conversation, he's pretty sure England would object to it. But it's obvious that someone needs to look after him for a while, and he doesn't see anyone else volunteering to do so. Besides, he does care about England, and he'll make sure to keep an eye on England while he's staying with him. He will try to help him.

"Whether he wants to or not, he's gonna stay with me, and that's final."
