Broken Hearts and Broken Lives - A Maxerica Fanfiction

Chapter Six

America P.O.V.

Oh god, Daphne was going to come, she's a princess so she's obviously way better than me and- Clarkson is probably going to make sure that Maxon and her spend all the time they can together and-

"But don't worry America, I'll make sure the selection goes like that and soon I will be holding your hand as your husband," Maxon puts his arm around me and I nestle my head into his chest.

"Can we go to the garden?" I ask, no more than a second later, picking my head up to look at Maxon.

"I'm so sorry my dear but I must tell Kriss, I'll go with you after lunch, how about that," Maxon asks, slowly getting up and using my least favorite name

"Not your dear," I grumble playfully, "but I'll say yes," I get up and follow him to the door

"Where are you going?" Maxon asks, turning around

"To the women's room, I'll see you at lunch," I give him a quick kiss on the lips and happily skip down towards the womens room, I need time to think without anyone, no boys, no maids no-

Oh! Your majesty," I go into a curtsy as soon as I see Queen Amberly in the women's room, she's reading a book and I wonder what she'll think of me, me being Meredith and all- oh no, my hair! I quickly reach up to touch it but then put my hands back down when I notice her looking.

"Oh no need for that, please just call me Amberly. America," she looks up when she says my name and I run into her open arms, crying as she strokes my hair.

"I'm so sorry for everything that I've done and-" I start to bawl even more, not being able to control it but Amberly interrupts me.

"It's okay, we were just worried about what had happened to you, now, I hear that someone may get to be a future princess again?" Queen Amberly wiggles her eyebrows a little bit causing some of my tears to subside and I smile a bit.

"Well we'll see, I'll still be competing," I say, not really caring, I did it once before, it won't be hard to do it again.

"Against who America? We all know who Maxon's going to choose,"

"Not on the king's watch" I mumble, "I mean, well Daphne's going to be here," I say, carefully sitting down across from her.

"Well don't you worry, now, you were going to play weren't you?" She says, gesturing to it, "be my guest, some music would be nice in here,"

"Thank you for everything Amberly," I give her another little curtsy and walk over to the piano, playing a song that my mother taught me, long ago soon after I started joining her in performing music.

"And as we run down the hill, playing our song we...." I let the music take over me, my fingers running along the keys and my voice ringing out in the giant room. I notice out of the corner of my eye that Queen Amberly has finished her book and is watching me play.

"Oh bravo!" She cheers when I finish my song, clapping a little,

"May I come in?" I hear Maxon call through the door

"Of course Maxon," Queen Amberly responds,

"That sounded wonderful America," Maxon runs up to me enfoulding me into a hug and gives me a kiss on the lips. I notice Queen Amberly quietly leaving as his kisses don't stop.

"Maxon, can't we just talk for a bit without us falling for each other?" I laugh, sitting down on the couch with him.

"No I don't think so my love, you're just so perfect," Maxon laughs, and puts his arm around me, smelling my hair.
