I was standing on my balcony staring down at guards and maids, who were doing their customary work. I didn't catch a sight of Aspen. Maxon, out of somewhere, emerged. He looked up at me and smiled. I tugged my ear as he glanced up at me. Then, he disappeared and in no time, he reached my room. He pulled me suddenly in a tight hug and said that he had to leave me for some days. I pulled myself away to gaze into his eyes and he looked cheerless.
"What's going on with you?" I was puzzled at the moment.
I could see his weak expressions which didn't let him come out with the central thing that disappointed him.
"I was just, um… " Maxon said.
"What Maxon? See if there is anything, you've got to tell me. Okay." I cupped his face in my hands and watched.
He looked at me and brought himself closer and then much closer enough to kiss me. I could sense that something depressed him. I wanted to know the reason but I didn't break the kiss, instead got lost in it. I felt like I was in heaven and wanted to stay there in his arms forever but what was exactly creating a hindrance for him. I closed my eyes and drew myself towards him. We were so close that nothing could come in between.
"Maxon, please don't." I cooled him down.
Then, someone came and stood at the threshold. I turned and saw Daniel. He looked displeased and in need for help.
"Daniel."I said.
"You betrayed me. You are a terrible person. I wish I'd never met you. I hate you, America, I hate you." He yelled at me.
I gently pushed Maxon away and I reached for Daniel who was already heartbroken. I thought why he is doing this because there wasn't anything between us. So, why was he depressed?
"Hey! What I did?" I uttered in disbelief.
"Don't do this to me, America. I need you…." He said miserably.
Then I could feel his voice fainting and he ran away and got vanished. I turned back and saw Maxon standing. I ran towards him and he vanished too. I tried to grab his shirt but nothing came in my grip except for air. Suddenly, everything disappeared, my room's window, then balcony, my bed, and there was nothing that surrounded me. I felt as if I was in vacuum and I couldn't see anything as it was pure black around me. I shouted and suddenly minute drops of water came up on me and I wiped them away….
"Wake up, America." Daniel said.
I woke up, oh god, this was my dream.
