Hey Guys! Shout out to SelectionLoverForever! Thanks for the great review! Here is chapter 3! And sorry if the Maxon POVs are short they are very awkward for me! And I promise longer chapters! On word two pages are long, but on the website they are short, sorry! I used a reference from The Elite! If you can find it, send me an idea and I will put it into the next chapter! Enjoy!

America:

I woke up the next morning, next to Maxon in the hospital wing. Queen Amberly was sitting soundly asleep in the chair next to mine. She clearly wanted the same thing I wanted for Maxon, safety. Being anywhere near his father was not an option. Of course he had to be. Between interviews, meetings, and living in the same household, they were family.

Maxon's eyes fluttered open.

"America?" His voice was weak and tired. I wasn't surprised.

"Hi Maxon. Are you feeling better?" I had to be careful with my actions and choice of words. The other members of The Elite could walk in at any moment. Queen Amberly also happened to be right next to me.

"Yea, yea I guess. Thanks, abou-"

"Maxon! Oh you poor thing, having to sit with that red haired devil! Oh, only kidding!" Celeste said "jokingly". I couldn't handle that girl for another second. I had my own selection of words I could use for that woman!

"Maxon!" It was Kriss. At least she wasn't like Celeste. However, she was my biggest competition, so I envied her when Maxon gave her a wide toothed smile.

Elise followed in with a large smile as well. The queen began to awaken.

"Girls! It is great to see you. Maxon, had…umm…backed into a table, causing a vase to fall on him. It has left various scars on himself. As you can see, he is recovering nicely. Now, please leave him to rest. America and I will stay to take care of Maxon. We will see you at lunch." Nice cover, I thought to myself. I couldn't help but giggle as each one of the girls left the room.

"Why does she get to stay…?" Celeste muttered to herself. BECAUSE HE LIKES ME MORE! I yelled at her in my head. That girl had some serious issues.

"Thank you mother," Maxon said after everyone was gone, "and America. I wanted to thank you about last night. I don't know what I would do without you.

"I will leave you two be." Queen Amberly waved us off and left the room. Finally!

"I couldn't ever think to live a life without you Maxon."

"I wished I had already proposed to you."

"I wish I let you."

We kissed. It burned like a fire from the inside out. I never wanted to let go.

"I love you more than-"

"BEEEP! BEEEP! BEEP!" The rebel alarm sounded. A Bullet flew through the door. I grabbed Maxon's hand and pulled him out of bed. I made sure his ivy came out, and that there was nothing attached to him as we headed for the safe room. It was the same safe room we had went to the last time we were together.

We reached the door and Maxon yanked it open, I shoved it closed. It clicked. We were locked in. The beeping died down, but no one came. I glanced at Maxon, who was asleep in the corner. I shifted over to him, and finished the sentence I had started before,

"I love you more than the moon and back."

"I love you more than mars and back." He was awake.

"I love you more than…Neptune and back." I countered.

"I love you more than…Pluto and back." He finished.

We kissed again, longer than the last. It was slow and heavy. He held me tightly, and I fell asleep in his arms.

"BANG!" There was a hole in the door. I shook Maxon, and he woke up immediately. He put his arm out in front of me, protecting me from what was outside of that door. I was freaking out. We were dead. Was everyone in the palace already dead? Were the people behind the door rebels, or guards?

Maxon:

I wasn't letting America die. I held myself in front of her. Collecting all my strength, I prepared to fight what was behind the door.

"BANG!" The door flew open. There was a shadowy figure behind the door.

"I have found them! Alert the king!" It was a guard, just a guard. I held America tightly. She was shaking.

"Its fine. He's just a guard." I read his name.

"Leger, is it? Well thank you Officer Leger. May you escort Lady Signer back to her room? I must find my mother."

"Of course, Your Majesty." He responded. I kissed America tightly one more time. I enjoyed these moments, but they went so fast. Before I knew it, she had gone back into her room.

America:

Now I was alone with Aspen, again! Crap!

"Mer, Mer, MER! You can't keep avoiding me! I still have some things to say. You need to listen. Let me persuade you to give me another chance, please."

"No Aspen, no. I tried. I love Maxon, as in the present. I liked you, as in the past. Whatever we had, it wasn't true, because what I feel with Maxon is nothing compared to what I felt with you! Now leave me alone!" I slammed my door in his face. Not one feeling of guilt flew through my mind.

I knew who I wanted.

I knew my choice.

I just had to know his.

More is coming! And did you find the Elite reference? If so, copy and paste it into the review bar and attach an idea for my next chapter. The first person to get it right gets their idea used first! I will try to use everyone's in future chapters! Thanks!
