Hey guys! I've been writing and reading fan fictions for the past seven hours. Words can't describe how tired I am! I was looking at how other people wrote their versions of The One. So far, I think I have a basis for what I should and shouldn't do. Anyways, it's late and it's a school night, so you're welcome! Here's chapter four.

All rights to Kiera Cass. I did not write any of the books in the Selection Trilogy!

Chapter Four

(America's POV)

"Its been a week. Please, do something! I can't stand to see her this way."

"I'm sorry, Prince Maxon, but America's condition was horrible when you brought her in. We believe that when the knife hit her, she passed out instantly from the pain and most likely hit her head on the ground. The results of her falling were worse than we first thought. She is suffering from a severe concussion and cranial damage. Eventually she will wake up, but until then, we have to play the waiting game."

Someone falls on the bed next to me. I feel them breathing into my ear, and then something wet hits the side of my head. Tears.

"I'm so sorry I put you through this, America. Please don't leave me. I love you."

I open my eyes at those last words.

"America?" Maxon feels me shift and raises his head to look into my eyes, "Oh thank god! I was so worried."

"You... you love me?" I ask, hoping that what I heard as I was regaining consciousness wasn't a dream.

He laughs. "Of course I do. I love you more than anything in the world." he says seriously, looking straight into my eyes.

His words are music to my ears. Without a moment to spare, I grab him by the collar of his shirt and kiss him passionately on the lips. Too soon, he breaks away.

"I'm sorry, it's just... I'm curious. When did you figure out that you loved me back?" he asked.

"I don't think I ever said I did." I reply coyly, trying to make him sweat a little.

He smiles mischievously and starts to get up and walk away slowly.

"Hey-Hey! I was joking. I love you, too; and to answer your question, I think I always have and I just never realized it." I say truthfully, trying to calm any crazed thoughts in his head.

Maxon turns toward me and takes my hand, a genuine smile on his face.

"That's all I needed to hear," he says happily giving me a peck on my lips, "I've conferred with my mother and father for the past few days you've been unconscious. It was fairly easy to convince my mom that you were the one for me, but my dad wasn't going to take it. He is still extremely angry with you. I don't know what to do." he frowns, worry lines creasing his forehead.

The look on his face breaks my heart. That's when I remember. Aspen is dead. I start to breathe rapidly. I can't control myself and I try hard not to scream. Pain courses through my body, but not physical. I know its pain for the loss of my first love. Maxon is trying to calm me down, but it's not working. Doctors run towards my hospital bed. They look frantic, trying to add fluids to my IV pipe. Their trying to sedate me, I think.

"Maxon," I say frantically,"the-the guard. Officer Leger. He died saving me. I-I saw it happen. Please, I need to see him. Please!" I cry, trying to show how important this is to me.

He wraps his arms around me and runs his hands in circles around my back, trying to ease the tension that's running through me.

"Okay America, calm down love, it's okay, I will sort this out. Just calm down please. You are scaring me." Maxon replies shakily.

I nod my head, and without a warning, the IV fluid finally starts working. Like a flash, I'm out.

Yay! Four chapters in a day. :) I sort of had writers block on this one... sorry. The next chapter will be better and will most likely focus on Aspen and his life. You'll see why soon. If you review, I answer back. So feel free to give suggestions, critique my writing, tell me where a spelling mistake is (I did spell check, so I'm not sure there's going to be much to correct me on.), etc. Like I've said for the past three chapters, this whole story is for all of the Selection fans waiting for The One in May. If you want something to happen in here, I'll try my hardest to write it in. PM me if you have any questions or suggestions. Thanks for reading guys!
