Hello there! Sorry I haven't been keeping up my Maxon POVs lately. Oh well! THE ONE COMES OUT IN ONE DAY! AHHHH! Don't worry I won't stop writing after The One. If Maxon and America do not get married, I will be writing until way after The One, trust me! Here is Chapter 8! Enjoy!
America:
I felt horrible. May could be dead right now, and it's my fault!
"Wait, why did I pass out?" I asked Queen Amberly. I felt like an idiot for passing out!
"Well, the paper was poisoned by the rebels. When you inhaled it, you passed out," she answered. I was completely surprised. How was that possible?
"What are we going to do about May though?" I wondered.
"We will search everywhere. Don't worry my love," Maxon announced. A hot tear dripped down my cheek, and splattered on the floor. Maxon held me in a tight embrace.
"I am so sorry Lady America. We will look in every province, no matter what." Queen Amberly was trying to be reassuring, but I was still upset.
"You should get some rest. I will walk you up to your room," Maxon said tenderly. We walked me up the grand staircase, and made our way towards my room.
"America, I-I am so sorry." Maxon stared into my eyes.
"It's not your fault." I responded.
"I know, it's just, you don't deserve this," Maxon said. He kissed my forehead. I smiled under his lips. I opened the door to my room.
"I love you America Singer."
"I love you Maxon Schreave." Maxon kissed me lovingly. I didn't want him to leave.
"Maxon, do you have to leave?" I asked.
"I can stay for a little while." I smiled at that. We walked over to the balcony, and sat in the white deck chair together.
I needed Maxon now, more than ever. My sister was missing, Lucy was gone, and rebels were itching to kill all of us. I closed my eyes, and took my surroundings in. They say that the best things in life can come out of the worst situations. I guess that was Maxon. But did it have to be this bad?
"Maxon, will anything ever be the same? Will anything be normal again?" I asked.
"I don't know. Has anything in the palace ever been normal?" He asked jokingly. I laughed at his remark. I stared into his blue eyes, I got lost in them so easily. He kissed me, and we watched the sunset over the Angels sky. I fell asleep in his arms.
"America, America wake up," My eyes fluttered open. I glared up at Maxon and smiled, "it's morning." We were still on the balcony in the same chair, only this time we were watching the sunrise on the Angels sky.
"Miss we have great news!" Mary burst through the door. She startled me.
"Oh, we are so sorry your Majesty!" Anne pleaded.
"Non sense! What is the news?" Maxon asked.
"Lucy has been found alive!" Mary cried out. I smiled. I got out of the chair, and hugged my maids. I was so excited.
"I will be going." Maxon said. I waved him off, and tugged my ear. He tugged his.
My maids drew me a bath. They then put me in a strapless gown that was a light blue with little accents of gold. It had an empire waist. Confident, I walked down the same staircase that I had every day and made my way towards the dining hall.
"Good morning, your Highness." I curtsied towards the queen and walked over to my seat. I gave a sarcastic smile at Kriss. She did the same to me.
Maxon came in, rather in a rush, and sat in the seat next to mine. I suppose now that it's just Kriss and I, the seating arrangements are optional. Kriss rolled her eyes. I smiled. Point America, again! Man, this place has changed me.
"Ladies, as you know, Christmas is a mere two months away. And although only one of you will be here for Christmas," my body cringed at that thought, "I think we can still have a little fun." Queen Amberly said quite happily.
She slid two presents down the table. Mine was larger than Kriss'. I wonder if she did that on purpose. I carefully opened the box, and picked up a silver tiara encrusted with hundreds of diamonds. Kriss was given a simple diamond necklace. Something told me that there was another surprise coming later.
"Thank, your Majesty." I said sympathetically. Kriss looked jealous. She nodded at my remark.
"I as well am very pleased to be given this gorgeous piece of art. Thank you your Majesty." Kriss was so full of it. I walked up to my room after breakfast.
There was a knock at my door. I had remembered I tugged my ear.
"Come in!" I said.
"Mer, we need to talk." No! Not Aspen. I thought he was fired from the palace!
"Aspen, I loved you. A part of me will always think that. You were my first love. I thought you would be my only love, until I came here. I love Maxon, and now a part of me really wants to let go of you, and that part of me has taken over. I love Maxon." I looked past Aspen, and I saw Maxon. He was holding flowers and a small black box.
I rushed pass Aspen. Maxon was running. I caught up to him, and grabbed his wrist.
"You never did love me, did you? And that guard, he was your ex, wasn't he? How could you do this America? How?" Maxon was crying. He fell onto a bench that was in the hall.
"Did you hear the last part of my sentence, Maxon? About how much I love you? And yes, he is my ex, and always will be my ex, because I love you more than anything in the entire world Maxon Schreave. I only want to love you. I would die without you. You aren't a part of my world, Maxon Schreave, you are my world." He took his face out of his hands, his eyes met mine. I felt that instant sensation that told me he was the one.
As soon as I said that Maxon rushed over to me and kissed me tenderly. I played with his perfect hair, making it messy.
"I need to ask you something, America." He pulled back from the kiss, but kept me in our tight embrace.
"Anything." I was about to pull him back for another kiss but he knelt down, and took a black box out of his pocket.
"America Singer, you were my first kiss, my first girlfriend, my first love, and I want you to be my last. When I am around you my heart skips a beat. When I am around you, my world is perfect. When I am around you, it's just you and me. I want it to stay that way, forever. You are the one. So, America Singer," he opened the black box, "will you marry me?"
"Yes! Yes I will marry you!" He slid the ring onto my finger and kissed me lovingly. I had made the right choice. I had to chose, Maxon, or Aspen. My choice was Maxon, and that was that.
Yoo Hoo! Big Summer Blow Out! –For all my Frozen Fans! Do not fear, this is not the end. I will be writing about the wedding, and then a squeal. I also have some extra tricks up my sleeve. Don't we still have to find May? Yes that we do. So don't worry, I will upload a new chapter soon! P.S. How would you feel about some Daphne drama? I think that is a must. Do you agree? Let me know what you think in the comment section below! Bye!
