Broken Hearts and Broken Lives - A Maxerica Fanfiction

Chapter ten

Maxon P.O.V.

Dear America,

You didn't show up to the garden so I can only assume that you didn't want to come, so I turned off all the lights and brought the food back in, but when I went to your room to find you but I did find a letter, why didn't you just tell me you wanted to leave? So I left too, to find you, to find who I really am without you or with you, I hope you are doing fine, and if you find me then we'll see what happens, until then I hope you marry Aspen or whoever and find someone you truly love. In the slightest chance that you actually find this and want to find me then have fun, it should be somewhere where you know, maybe you've never been there but you'll know.

Hopefully forever,

Maxon

I finish signing the letter and quickly run out to the gardens, placing the letter on a rock, trying not to cry as I do so, she left me hanging, America Singer really left me hanging, I hear a voice in the back of my head but I ignore it as I think while I take a random car out of the palace garage and drive off to the house that her family was supposed to have, I really want her to find me but at the same time, she left me, what am I supposed to do?

I pass the time by watching random shows and listening to the news, at least news of me running away hasn't been shared yet. I go up to a random bedroom and fall asleep in the masters bedroom.

"Don't even try that!" I hear shouting from downstairs and I jump up in my bed, who could that be? I take two hangers from the closet and slowly walk downstairs, hiding behind a corner and then jumping out to the living room only to find the T.V. still on. I laugh at myself for how idiotic I've been and lie down on the couch, laughing at myself until my stomach rumbles.

"Ugh," I realize that I didn't even have dinner, and I don't even know how to cook! I get up and walk to the kitchen and realize that I had fully stocked the house thinking that her family was going to move here, thank god I did or else I would have been starving, I grab an egg and crack it on the pan, realizing that I never turned it on.

I turn on the stove all the way and leave the egg on it, heading over to get a piece of bread to toast, I put it in the toaster and then go back to my egg which is looking lovely so I turn off the stove and put it on a plate, I grab a bottle of orange juice from the fridge and fill a cup with then when I hear the toaster ding.

"Damn it!" I say when I take out the toast, it's as hot as heck and it's burnt. I guess I'm just having eggs for breakfast so I sit down at the counter by myself and grab a fork only to find that the egg is not fully cooked.

"Why!" I groan and just give up on breakfast, grabbing a box of crackers and going to the couch to watch more T.V., what a mess I am without America, I fall asleep to the sound of the T.V. and wake up to the sound of knocking.

America P.O.V.

Oh god what am I going to do? I think after reading the letter, I collapse onto my bed and cry into the pillow for what seems like hours and fall asleep until I hear knocking.

"Oh Miss there you are! I was looking all over the palace for you since you weren't in the infirmary," Lucy comes rushing in while Mary closes the door behind them, I open my arms and Lucy comes running in and we embrace as friends, crying over boys.

"Lucy," Mary tries to reprimed but I roll my eyes and motion Mary over, "fine, but it's not very proper," Mary says, slowly walking over.

"When has anything I've ever done been proper?" I joke, letting Mary into the hug too.

"Now." Lucy says, "we must find Maxon," she declares, ending the hug and goes over to my desk to grab a piece of paper and pen.

"He left because of-of-of the letter I was writing to my family, I told them I wasn't coming home and was doing fine without them but would visit often, he thought I was talking about them," I manage to get out, half choking and sobbing on the last part.
