chapter 2 For the next meeting after the next and the next america didnt show at the meetings. For the time being, Brittan took control of the meetings and things accually where starting to get /done/ thats the day America walked through the door. he looked horrid. the countries looked at him as he walked in. Brittan blinked in suprise at his little brother "A-America..?" America pushed him away "...get out of my way you english idiot." Brittan looked a bit hurt but went to sit down. America stood in the front, glaring at each one of the countries. "..." Canada stood up "u accually think, after so many months of not coming to meetings, u can just pop in here and take lead again? i dont think so!" America snarled "i dont have to listen to you!" canada got in his face "its been so much better since u just left! brittan has this under control, just LEAVE!" America blinked in suprise, normally Canada is silent, nice, definantly not this. he snorted "FINE!" he stormed towards the door and slammed it on his way out. Canada Jr watched him leave and looked around at the other countries, they all seemed to be in there own buisness and Canada was fuming. he slipped under the table and walked towards the door, he ran after America and grabbed onto his sleeve as he caught up with him. America jumped and swirled around, knocking his hand off "wha-!" he narrowed his eyes "oh, its you. what do u want." Canada Jr looked sad "i just wanted to ask you so-" he was interupted as a cry came from the confrence room and in the next second Nikki, Italy and America's daughter, came running from the room and barreled into America, wrapping her hands around him tightly "d-daddy! i miss you so much!" she cried into his shoulder. America looked suprised and slowely wrapped his arms around her. Canada Jr frowned and turned to go back but america stopped him "ey, Jr." he called and smiled as he turned back "come with me, i need to talk to both of you." Canada Jr nodded hezitently "i-i guess" Nikki wrapped her legs and arms around America as he stood up and they walked out to his car. Nikki climbed into the front and Canada Jr sat in the back. America started the car and began to drive to his house, which was about a mile away from the confrence house. he stopped out front and let his kids into the house, once in, he sat on the couch and looked at them both. "guys... listen i wanted to talk to u guys..." he looked at Canada Jr "Jr... i left Canada because i... didnt love him... but that doesent mean i dont love /you/" Canada Jr's face flushed slightly "i-i.." he started but America cut him off by holding out his arms in a 'hug me' pose. Canada Jr smiled slightly and went forward to hug his father. America smiled and let him go "Nikki, i never ment to hurt your father, and i still love the both of you very much." NIkki nodded "i know, i just dont want you and daddy to be seperated much longer." she smiled America stood up "okay! how about we get back!" ***************** Antarctica was listening blankly to the other countries yell at each other, France and Britten where fighting as usual, Canada and Italy where yelling at each other about America, Russia and antarctica were just listening to it all. Italy turned away from canada and snorted " NIkki! were leaving!" he screetched and opened his eyes when he didnt get a responce "n-nikki?" he looked around "where are you!" Canada smirked "serves you right" he turned around "Canada Jr? ready to go?" he looked and saw he was gone "? J-jr?" Italy and Canada turned to each other and started freaking out "c-call the police! what if they where kidnapped!" italy screamed, most likely not going to be able to help. Antarctica rolled her eyes and flipped out her phone "ill call them for goodness sake." she said and dialed the police "hello? yes, id like to report of two missing children? there countries." she smirked as she said that and hung up "they will be here in umm..." she heard sirens outside "...2 seconds!" *******************
America was driving back to the confrence hall with the two kids in the back of his car. Canada Jr looked out the window at the confrnce hall and saw the police cars and the ambulances even a swat car was there. he widened his eyes "america! stop!" he called and opened the car door, jumping out of the car and running up to the confrence hall door. a few feet away Canada and Italy where standing, talking to a reporter, describing how each kid looked. Canada sniffed "h-hes 11 years old... he has blond hair and green eyes..." Canada Jr ran up behind Canada "w-what happened!" canada jumped and spun around "j-jr!" he smiled and hugged Canada jr so tight he felt like his eyes where going to pop out of his head. Nikki ran up and tackled Italy, making him fall to the ground. America followed quickly behind. Italy laughed "where have you been!" "daddy took me and Jr for a little ride, we are okay!" Italy shot america a glare and Canada let Jr go, snarling at America, then looked down "im glad your okay.." the reporters started backing away and Canada Jr half smiled at America, grabbing his hand and bringing him closer to canada "i have to speak to both of yu..." Canada shifted uncomfortably "uhh... okay?" America smiled slightly "what is it, Jr?" Canada Jr sighed "America, i know ur in love with Italy, but its not right that you and canada fight every time you see each other" he took a breath "i know it will never be the same, but i want to know, could u guys at least be friends?" Canada gasped inaudibly "... J-Jr..." America looked at Canada. "i guess.. that could work" Canada looked at him "...it can" he smiled and hugged america. Italy, who was watching the whole thing from a few feet away, growled and turned to NIkki "were leaving!" he grabbed her arm and turned to go NIkki widened her eyes "n-no!" Italy turned to her ".../what/ did you say!" NIkki growled "im staying here!" she ripped her arm away from Italy's grip and ran for the bushes a couple feet away. Italy yelped "N-nikki! come back!" he said running after her. NIkki dived into the bushes when italy couldent see and ducked down. Italy ran right past her "Nikki!" he was calling. he turned and ran back to where Canada America and Jr where waiting "i lost nikki!" America blinked in suprise "what! what happened!" Italy started explaining the whole thing and NIkki heard a rustle in the bushes behind her, she turned and Saw France standing behind her. he smiled sweetly "hey, little girl, NIkki right? i saw what just happened... would u like some candy? i have it in my car over there." NIkki blinked, she knew he was a country, she could trust him "sure!" she smiled and took his hand walking over to the car with him. Canada Jr had backed up from the yelling countries and was looking around. he scanned the area and saw NIkki "Ni-!" he began but was cut off, widening his eyes. she was getting into France's car. FRANCE. he began to run towards her "NIKKI! STOP!" NIkki heard Jr's voice and stopped "Jr?" she began to step out when France pushed her back in and skidded off Canada Jr screamed and ran after "N-NIKKI! NO!" he called running after the car. as he lost sight of the car he fell to his knees in the middle of the street "n-no..." America turned and saw Canada Jr in the middle of the street he ran over and knelt next to him "J-jr? u alright? what happened?" Canada Jr looked up at America and sniffled "f-france took Nikki!" he wailed. America stopped and stared at him, his eyes wide with fear "w-what!" Canada Jr fought back tears, NIkki was his friend, "s-she was getting out of his car... and h-he shoved her in and drove off.." America stared at him for a few moments "j-jr... g-go... get...your...dad.." he said before his eyes rolled back in his head and he fell to the pavement, uncontious. Canada Jr widened his eyes and kneeled next to him "a-america! AMERICA!" he yelled. just then a speeding truck came down the street, headed streight for them. Canada Jr saw it first "AMERICA D*** IT GET UP NOW!" he screetched in his ear. As the truck got closer Canada Jr started to panic. he raised his hand and slapped America across the face, causing an immediate reaction, America launched himself up halfway and saw Jr sitting next to him. he also saw the truck. with the last bit of his strength he pushed Canada Jr out of the way of the speeding truck and fell back onto the pavement. the truck hit him with a dull thud and sped off in the other direction, America layed motionless in the road.
