One day before camp

America's Pov

After that moment with Maxon I passed the reins over to him so he could control Clover again.

We rode over to where the rest of the pack was. Then we all rode together on a trail.

When we were back at the stables putting our horses away Marlee asked, "So did you like horseback riding."

"Loved it," I answered

"I wish camp never had to start and we could just spend the whole summer doing activities," I add

"Don't worry Red. We have weekend and before and after classes to goof off," Brian said

I just smirked and said, "I can't wait to see what this summer brings."

"Well lets find out," Maxon said, "the summer has already started."

Then he ran up and scooped me into his arms bridal style and started running. I screamed.

"Maxon put me down," I said starting to laugh, "I mean it Maxon. Put me down."

"Nope," he said and kept running. The rest of the pack was running behind us trying to catch up.

We were running straight towards where the dorm rooms are when I saw what was up ahead. A fountain. A big fountain. Water was gushing down from all the sides. I instantly knew what Maxon was going to do. He was going to throw me into the water.

"Maxon no no. Please dont do this," I begged

"I'm sorry Miss Singer but I cant miss out on this opportunity," he answered

Oh no. I thought. I don't know how to swim. This is going to end badly.

We were almost there: at the fountain with the pack laughing behind us and me flailing my arms and legs trying to get out of Maxons arms while crying out for him to stop when I heard someone speak…


Maxon's Pov

We had just got off the horses and it was almost lunch time.

I heard America say, "I can't wait to see what this summer brings."

"Well lets find out. The summer has already started." I said

Not wanting the fun to end I ran up and scooped America into my arms and started running. It felt comforting to have her in my arms.

As I ran America screamed, "Maxon put me down. I mean it Maxon. Put me down."

There was no way I was putting her down this was too funny.

"Nope," I told her and kept running. The rest of the pack was running behind us trying to catch up.

I was running straight towards the dorm rooms when I realized there was a big fountain up ahead and I got an idea. America was going to be so mad at me after I did this. But it would be all worth it when I saw her face just before she went into the water.

America saw what was up ahead and tried to get out of my arms even more realizing what I was going to do.

"Maxon no no. Please dont do this," she begged

"I'm sorry Miss Singer but I cant miss out on this opportunity," I answered

Wow I was really going to do this.

We were almost there: at the fountain with the pack laughing behind us and America flailing in my arms while crying out for me to stop when I heard someone speak.

"Maxon what are you doing with Miss Singer?" Silva asked madly

When she spoke I stopped died in my tracks. The whole pack stopped running and laughing and America stopped moving.

"Nothing Silva. I am sorry Silva," I answered

"Well Maxon I expected more from you then this," She said

"What would your father do if he found out about this," She asked

I knew what my father would do if he found out about this. I was praying to god that she wouldn't tell him about this. It would be a new record of disappointing him. The scars on my back had not even healed yet.


America's Pov

Silva. Silva had spoken to us.

When Silva threatened to tell Maxons dad a look of fear crossed his face. I felt so bad like it was some how all my fault.


Maxon's Pov

"Your lucky that I am not going to tell him about this," Silva says, "Put Miss Singer down Maxon, before I change my mind."

I looked down and realized that America was still in my arms. I forgot about her because she was motionless.

As much as I didn't want to put America down I had to or else Silva would tell my father about my bad behavior and I would pay the price.

I put America down and said, "Thank you Silva."

"Your welcome and as for you Miss Singer I better not catch you miss behaving again." Silva says

America put her head down in shame and said, "Yes Ma'am."

I felt so bad because it wasn't even Americas fault it was all mine. I felt this weird urge that I needed to protect America but I knew I couldn't fight with Silva on this. I would have to pick my battles and this was not one that I wanted to fight in. We were lucky to get off with warnings.

As Silva left, the pack started walking again but this time we were walking toward the dining hall not the fountain.

I walked up to America who still had her face down looking at her feet. When I was right next to her she said, "I'm sorry Maxon, that I got you into trouble."

I almost laughed she thinks this is her fault. "America," I said, "This was not your fault. If anyone was to be blamed it would be me. I was the one that picked you up and started running with you."

"I know but I almost got you in trouble with your dad. I don't think he would be so happy about that." she said

"America it was not your fault and I am sorry that I got you in trouble," I said

"But your dad," she argued

God she was so stubborn, "America you don't need to worry about that. I will be fine."

The truth was that I knew I wouldn't be fine if my dad was to find out but I wasn't going to let her know that.

"You know that was a mean thing you were about to do there but now that I think about it, it would have been really funny," she said with a laugh

"It would have been really funny. To bad Silva stopped us before Maxon could throw you in." Brian said

Apparently the pack was now close enough to hear our conversation so we just let them join in.

"To bad," America said, "The only bad thing was that if you throw me in someone would have to jump in after me to save me. I can't swim. So it was a good thing that Silva stopped us."

"You can't swim?" Kriss said with astonishment

"Yep, I can't swim. I never had the time for swimming with my work schedule back home," America answered

"We are just learning so much about you today," Theo said

"We will have to add swimming to the list of activities to do next," Katy says

"Now that I think it was a good thing that Silva stopped us. I would have felt so guilty if I throw you in and you couldn't swim." I said as we reached the dining room.

"Don't worry, I will find other ways to make you fell guilty," America tells me, "Now lets go eat. I'm starving."

"I second that," Carter says
