Please read the bottom note it is very important. Thanks for reading.

A shot flew over my head, striking its target, the rebel who tried to kill America and I. My eyes sought out where it had come from, meeting America's guards eyes, for once I was thankful to see him. I tried to send a silent thank you but he was already off looking to shoot more people. He was standing over my America protecting her like I wanted to do, but couldn't right now. I just had to trust he would keep her safe for now. Then I would take over.

I crawled under a table and hid like a coward, but what else could I do right now I am in to much pain. I started going in and out of darkness as I tried to pull my leg under the table. My angels face appeared and at first I thought it was just me dying but then she started to speak.

"Oh Maxon," she cried, she tried to help the bleeding in my chest. While trying to stop the bleeding she just kept apologizing. At that moment I stopped going into the blackness, America was with me and it was not safe. I needed to keep her safe, get her into a safe room then I could go back to dying.

I quickly realized that I couldn't be the one to help her get to a safe room. That damn officer better come back quick for her. Well if I had a minute before I blacked out forever I was going to let her know how I felt.

I first tried to sooth her by apologizing for my mistakes.

"Don't talk right now, just focus, ok?" I was going to start crying if I wasn't already. She didn't even care if I admitted to my mistakes she just needed me alive. How had I ever doubted her love. God I was so stupid for it all, it was her all along. I smiled at my love knowing I was going to start slipping out again soon.

"Break my heart, Break it a thousand times if you like. It was only ever yours to break anyways," at this point we both were crying. I meant every word I said. She was everything to me.

My princess tried to get me to quiet down again to save my breath but she was worth every moment no matter how much pain it was causing me for how with each word I almost sunk away into the blackness, but I didn't she kept me grounded to this world, never wanting to leave as long as she was there.

"I'll love you until my very last breath. Every beat of my heart is yours. I don't want to die without you knowing that."

"Please don't," she pleaded with me to stay with her and I thought I could, I thought I really could stay alive just for her but the pain started to take over again. I knew I was going to die but I have to give my love at least I little hope if i had none left.

I bought my hand to her hair and tugged her forward just slightly, she knew what I wanted. We kissed for what seemed like an eternity but at the same time was all too short.

As we broke away my love seemed to cry out, "Don't give up Maxon. I love you, please don't give up."

My breathing was becoming worse and the pain was becoming all consuming it was hard to even think when Officer Ledger came under the table with us, someone seemed to scream but my mind had no time to register who.

Officer Ledger started talking to me saying he needed to get me safe but I wouldn't take it. God why was he even trying couldn't he see I was a waste of time.

"Take her, thats an order," I said with every last ounce I had in me. He stared at me and I stared back needing him to save her. I could hear her protests, how she wouldn't leave me. She tried to cling to me but the officer pulled her off.

I grabbed him needing him to know one thing, "She lives. Do you understand me she lives. Whatever it takes, she lives."

I didn't even hear a creepy, just saw America swimming in and out of my vision as she screamed in protest. Always the fighter, the thought made me smile as I seemly slipped back into blackness.

Ok I lied there is going to be another part to this story so keep a look out. As always thanks for reading.
