Broken Hearts and Broken Lives - A Maxerica Fanfiction

Chapter Seven

That is America's dress for the day btw:)))

America P.O.V.

"Is it all out?" I ask Mary as she finishes scrubbing my hair, we decided to get rid of all my strawberry blonde hair before the selection so Mary was helping me wash the rest out.

"Yup, say hello to your natural red hair!" Mary says happily, drying her hands on a towel.

"Thank you so much," I say and give Mary hug,

"This is a little improper miss, I'm supposed to be doing this, I'm your maid," Mary says but then eventually gives into the hug.

We hear a knock at the door so Mary goes to check it while I finish up any of my makeup touches.

"Wow," Maxon comes in and when he sees my hair he's speechless, "I just came to escort you to breakfast and to meet Daphne but this is much better," Maxon comes over to me and carefully cups my face in his hands and gives me a soft kiss.

"And your dress," he pulls away for a second, admiring my pastel blue flowy gown, going just off my shoulders.

"Maxon, you've seen my hair before and me in a dress," I joke, trying to take the attention off of me

"Yeah, but not for a while, now let's go down to meet Daphne, don't worry, I'll make sure she stays out of trouble," Maxon reassures me when he sees my face turn into a slight frown.

"Okay," I grab his arm as we make our way down to the front of the castle where everyone else is.

"Oh America, I love your hair," Amberly says when we get to the front steps

"Thank you your majesty," I say, Amberly doesn't correct me because Clarkson is right next to her.

"Hello," Clarkson greets us, glaring at me and Maxon holding hands

A black limo pulls up to the front steps and the king and queen of France come out first, holding hands and slightly smiling. Then Daphne comes out in a very revealing pink dress, making sure to lift it up quite high while walking up the steps.

Maxon squeezes my hands and pulls me in for a short passionate kiss but I pull away, "Maxon, we can do that later," I whisper, trying not to laugh.

"Alright then," Maxon says, pouting a little, "here take this rose," Maxon takes the rose out of his suit pocket and hands it to me as Daphne gets even closer. I see her eyes roll and glare when she sees Maxon do that.

"Oh Maxon I have missed you," as soon as we get inside away from the press Daphne runs up to Maxon, giving him a big hug and kissing him on both cheeks, Maxon hugs her back but without all the energy and passion.

"Yes, yes, it has been quite awhile since we met, why don't we head for breakfast," Maxon pulls away from the hug and walks back over to me, giving me a kiss on the lips and wrapping his arm around my waist as we walk to breakfast.

Honestly I'm confused, we're supposedly have a selection when clearly me and Maxon are practically dating.

"So Maxon, when will the girls be getting here," Daphne asks Maxon, sitting down next to him and scooching her chair a little closer as Maxon scooches his chair closer to mine, in the end, it's the three of us with chairs practically touching as Daphne's parents give us weird looks.

"Um, tomorrow before lunch," Maxon responds looking down at his food again

"Oh that's wonderful, we can spend time together today, just the TWO of us," Daphne emphasizes on the word two and I try not to laugh, disguising it with a cough.
