the selection: our life together

chapter 1

      I sit on maxons bed watching him sleep and admiring the beautiful engagement ring he gave me just a few hours ago. I can't stop smiling! I much be the happiest woman in the world right now! These past 24 have been the most emotional of my entire life, It starts with me and maxon (almost) sleeping together before we made the choice to just go to bed, I had asked him to stay with me and he did. Shortly after waking up maxons had started ticking me which led to my ex boyfriend walking in on us half naked in the same bed. After that embarrassing moment my love (maxon) went to go explain to the other last girl in the selection that she has lost and he would be proposing to me at the ceremony, during that time I had walked outside my room to apologize to my ex and tell him to tell no one and that i'm sorry I did not love him anymore but right as i has had my hand on his chest with no other motive other than to say goodbye maxon walked around the corner with kriss so he could explain everything to us both, But he sent kriss back to her room because he had assumed what he had seen was my cheating on him, after a heartbreaking conversation where I had no chance to explain the situation he left me, For kriss. I felt like my heart died in that moment I was sure my life was over and that I would never love again. A few hours later My maids came to get my ready for this ceremony. It was so hard to have to pretend to be okay when the love of my life had just ripped my heart out. I went downstairs to the ceremony, maxon said crude things to me and just moment after a mass shooting broke out before he could tell the country who he was marrying, the room went crazy, bc verhorne was screaming and crying and running to try and escape. Amongst the crazy there was me standing on the stage not knowing what to do. A rebel came up and was about to shoot me before maxon jumped in front of the bullet for me, I found him close to death under a table where he said to me "break my heart, break it a thousand times if you want, it was only ever yours to break anyways." After that i was brought to a safe room not knowing if maxon is alive or not, I eventually tried to shoot my way out of the room but after that didn't work i was so drained and covered in scrapes and cuts that I passed out, once i woke up I was so shocked I passed out again. The next time i woke up was in the hospital wing, where I found out the king and queen had died but maxon was alive in his room and that my ex and my maid were in a relationship and I couldn't be happier for them, I ran up to maxons room where he told me he's was getting rid of the casts and then he slid a box with the most beautiful ring I have every seen in it and he proposed! Which leads us right back here with me cuddling with my fiancé admiring my ring and feeling so unbelievably grateful that I am watching my husbands chest rise and fall, and laying my head on his chest where I can hear his heart beat assuring me that he is alive, That we are both alive and survived this horrible day.
