"This might sting a bit" I warned, my hand equipped with cotton and disinfectant solution.

"Trust me, I'm used to it" He laughed.

I rolled my eyes then gently move my hands. I was half way when he started babbling.

"I started searching in your country then I came across to the airport where they confirmed you went out. Father left Illéa as soon as he heard the news," He began.

"What happened to Lady America?" I asked plainly.

"King Tiberias wasn't happy to hear it. But Cal covered for her, now she resides in Norta with Cal and swore to never leave Cal's side. And as for your boyfriend, he punched me the night you went missing and also swore to never let America leave" He answered.

"Cal was my boyfriend. And he was devastated to see you America together. He sacrificed everything for her. His heart, his child's birthright, and his life. He did everything for her. You should know that by now" I said, a bit of bitterness in my voice.

Maxon let me do my job silently. Afterwards, I fetched him some water and food to eat.

"What's your plan, Max?" I asked, my hands busy clicking the channels.

"My only plan is to get you home, love" He chuckled.

I'm not ready to leave!!!

"Could we at least stay here for a bit longer?" I pleaded.

"Of course" He answered in monotone.

"Thanks!" I grinned.

Three Days....

{Maxon}

"Where are you taking us?" I asked Delancy.

Her fingers gripped the wheel tight, eyes glued to the road. I look like a lost boy sitting beside a professional girl.

"Park! Where everybody love to go" She cheered.

I chuckled at her enthusiasm. Delancy made it clear that she still hates the way I acted towards her before. But on the other hand, she still cares for me, tends my scars everyday, cooks for me, and still Delancy.

We through the shady path, with a distance as friends. I gripped my coat tighter and buried my hands under the deepest corners of my pocket.

"Awe, Li'l Maxon's cold!!" Delancy teased.

"Yeah! Yeah! I'm cold, is that a big deal?"

"Yes it is!" She laughed. "I think I want to eat ice cream"

"What?!? Ice cream during this freezing weather? Are you out of your mind?" I exclaimed.

"Hey! I didn't say I want it now. I said 'I think'. There's still possibility I Might get one, tho!" She winked.

Delancy and I came across the skating rink. My eyes instantly lit up at the sight of it. I turned towards her, grinning like an idiot.

"No! No! Maxon No! I don't want to skate" She took few steps back.

"C'mon darling"

"No way!"

"It's going to be fun!" I urged.

"Nu-uh! It's going to be disaster! I don't skate!" She shook her rad fiercely.

She backed away with her might, however, I'm stronger than her. I kept her close to me, she couldn't even wiggle her way out. I knelt down trying to put her shoes on.
