Recap:

America just stared back at him.

" I would have to say all of those. With you."

*chapter start*

It is the next day and Japan's condition has not improved. It has England and America worried. It is America who is worrying the most after all it is his fault Japan is like this. He feels guilty and didn't know if he could face Japan when he wakes up...if he wakes up.

'This is all my fault. I should never have dropped those bombs. If I would have known it would be this bad I would have never done it. I should have known. I should have done more testing. Japan must hate me now. I wouldn't blame him if he does. I did just bomb his country and kill a lot of people. I don't know how I'll be able to face him after what I've done." America thought.

He is currently outside trying to avoid England so he wouldn't be dragged inside to face what he had done to his friend. America had no idea what would happen when he dropped the bomb. He had done some testing before but he didn't know exactly how much damage would be done and how many people it would kill. Right now it was his greatest regret.

'Man this is worse than when I went against England in the Revolutionary war. I really screwed up this time.' He thought.

England is currently inside tending to Japan.

'America really should be more careful. He almost killed Japan. I wonder how he's doing. He hasn't been himself since we found Japan like this. Maybe I should go look for him but I don't want to leave Japan alone. I should call somebody to come over and watch him while I go look for America but who? France is out of the question. It should be someone we both get along with. I know Germany, Italy , and Japan are in a little bit of a disagreement right now so that won't work. Japan doesn't have the greatest relationship with China right now either. Maybe Austria but he might not be too eager to help. Hungary is an option. Maybe Greece, he's easy to get along with. Actually that's probably the best choice I'll give him a call.' England thought.

*time skip*

Greece just arrived and England is explaining everything that has happened.

"Well long story short America dropped a bomb on Japan wounding him in the process. He called me for help. Japan is stable and asleep on the couch and America walked out a while ago and hasn't come back I'm going to look for him. If my instinct is correct something bad has happened to him otherwise he probably would have been back by now. Do you. Think you can handle tags here while I look for him?" England asked

"Don't worry I'll take good care of Japan." Greece replied sleepily.

"Good. If I don't come back in an hour go ahead and redress Japan's wound. Don't forget to put ointment on it so it doesn't get infected. I'm off now I trust you'll take good care of things while I'm gone."

"Yes don't worry about it. Just focus on finding America."

With that England stepped out and looked around. America was no where in eyes reach.

'Now that's strange. I didn't think he would go very far. I wonder where he's run off to.'

England now worried began to look for America. After a while of searching he still hadn't found him. This really worried England. Ever since America was little England had been the one to take care of him. When the Revolutionary War happened England was devastated to have America leave him like that. They're relationship wasn't the best but that was something he hoped to fix. After all he did have feelings for him even though America really. Annoying more often than not. He planned to be there for America when he needed him the most. This was one of those times. He could feel it. The only thing he had to do now was find America.

'Where could he have gone. Poor America, he must be so upset right now and I'm not there to help him. I need to find him before it's too late."

"America!" He called out.

"America." He called out again but this time louder.

"AMERICA WHERE ARE YOU?!" He yelled as loud as he could but to no avail.

England was now frantically searching for his lost friend and possible lover. He then saw a sight he'd never thought he'd ever lay eyes upon. America was sitting slumped against a tree, with his face buried in his hands, crying.

"There you are America. I've been looking everywhere for you. You had me worried something bad had happened to you. I was so worried. I had to call Greece to watch Japan so I could come look for you." England said with concern as he ran up to meet his crying friend.

America said nothing hoping that his silence would deter the worried Brit. It did just the opposite. England had only become more worried by his friends unusual silence.

"America what's wrong? Don't you dare say it's nothing because we both know that's far from the truth."

America still didn't answer. He was ashamed of himself and he didn't want to admit it. He was supposed to be the hero but he was far from it at the moment. Ever since he could remember England has always been there for him. He always managed to get America out of the numerous bad situations he'd some how always find himself in. It was because of this that America had started to fall in love with the Brit. England has always been there. Even now when their relationship wasn't the best. He was still by his side helping him. Even after he had back stabbed and hurt him so many 's what America didn't understand. He's done so many terrible things, he's obnoxious, self centered, and yet England was still kind to him. He's still treating him the way he did before the revolution. He didn't deserve to have England in his life.

"It's about Japan isn't it." England said sitting next to America and putting a comforting hand on his shoulder.

All America did was nod too ashamed and disgusted with himself to say it out loud.

"Listen, America, I don't blame you for what happened. It was a little extreme but it did what you wanted it to do. It ended the war. I know how bad you must feel to have injured a friend so badly. It was how I felt when you left me. I know it hurts and I know your ashamed of it but right now we need to focus on getting Japan healed. We need your help though. Without you I don't think any of us will be able to move past this. I know all the other countries are going to be angry and they'll probably take it out on you but when that happens I'll be right there with you. I'll always be with you until the end. I promise." England said hoping it would cheer America up.

America was stunned. He couldn't believe what England just said. He know England MENT every word. But why? Why did he say that after all of the terrible things he'd done?

"Why? Why are you still with me? Why do you still treat me like this after all I've done to you and to everyone? It doesn't make any sense why?" America asked

"You want to know why? It's because I care about you. I've always cared about you. Though. Lately. I've realized that now it's not the same kind of care as it was when you were little. It's grown into something more than that. I'd rather be by your side then anywhere else. Your a good person when you put your mind to it. I've forgiven you for everything you've done because I know the real you. I know that you never meant to hurt people this badly. Your probably one of the most agreeable people I've met and that's not just because I raised you. That's why I'm still here."

Again America was shocked but this time he felt happy that England was here. He always had a way of making him feel better when he needed it.
