A Twisted Fate

Chapter Eleven

It was right after dinner, which I had eaten in my room, when Maxon arrived. I angrily stomped towards the door and pulled it open. His genuine face turned to a frown as he asked, ¨what's wrong my dear?¨

Angrily I screamed, ¨don't call me that! You got rid of me as if I was a toy and then you ask for me to come back? Do you know how much I enjoyed that freedom...without you?!¨

Maxon sympathetically glanced into my eyes, ¨America you are the one...I brought you back because I like you. I didn't even want to get rid of you, I was just too self-centered to care that the one girl I loved was really going away for good.¨

A tear trickled down my cheek. I was surprised by how fast my emotions for Maxon had changed. Now I felt a burning passion and my happiness flared as he gave me a feverish kiss, and I savored every moment of it.

¨America...let's wait a few more days and have plenty of dates and then after the report I'll announce how I love you,¨ he whispered, breathing into my ear.

I shook my head with remorse, ¨I doubt I can forgive you so fast...I'd like a date though. So I can try and re-start that spark that we used to have.¨

Maxon suddenly looked extremely sad, ¨you mean it disappeared?¨ 

¨Well,¨ she started playfully, ¨after your one chance at true love ditches you for a diva and an over-passionate sweetheart you feel a little angry.¨

I caught a smirk in Maxon's eye, ¨by any chance did you say, true love?¨

Suddenly before I could respond he pushed me up against the wall and gave me a comforting and incredibly strong kiss I swore to always remember, ¨America...even if I don't marry you. Which is unlikely, I'll let you stay here. I need you to thrive.¨

My eyes suddenly started to well as Maxon left and I fell into my bed. Lucy rushed back and tended to me as I drifted to sleep, happy and full of hope for once.

I'm sorry for the short chapter! Just ran out of time...hope your not mad and keep reading I will be adding constantly.
