It's been 5 months since you and Alfred dated. You always visited his house, you also got to try one of Arthur's scones, which were pretty disgusting.

You've been close friends with Antonio, Feliciano, Arthur, Matthew, Gilbert and Matthias. You weren't close friends with Francis though, you didn't trust him, knowing all about his 'Arthur Pervert Issues.'

The other countries, well, they still didn't like you. Whenever they see you, they would always grumble and move away, you were fine with that. 'Why can't they just move on about Alfred's past girlfriends?' You thought. They didn't do bad things to you, so life was just fine.

You went and wait outside the doors of the world meeting every time there was one, you were never bored, you wait for him no matter what. And whenever a world meeting ends, he treats you to something, so that's what clearly kept you waiting.

Today was another world meeting, so of course, you went with Alfred. You went in the building and saw all the countries scatter around. They would give glares at you, sometimes even DEATH GLARES. You gripped on to Alfred's right arm and hid behind him, you were scared. He noticed this and gave you a peck on the lips.

"Don't worry about it!" He cheered and smiled. You blushed really red. Both of you reached to world meeting doors.

"Bye, Alfie!" You said and gave a smile.

"Bye! I'll be back before you know it!" He replied and shut the doors, unfortunately he was the last one in.

So then, you waited.... Then waited... Eventually, you got bored. You wandered around and got amazed by all the simple little things on the building floor, like what a child would do. You were liking it, exploring around just made you smile—knowing that everything would be ok with you and Alfred. You went back to see if the meeting was done, though they weren't talking about world problems... They were talking about you.

"MARY SUE! MARY SUE, I TELL YOU!!" A voice in the meeting room shouted. Obviously, they were talking about you. They couldn't move on about the rudeness of Alfred's old girlfriends, it was menacing now that you think about it, you knew that you weren't like them.

Words kept on going, you didn't like them. Insults kept on going while some were defending you, the words went fast like a bullet.

"She's probably like those other girlfriends!"

"(Y/n) is not like Alfred's past girlfriends!"

"Remember when one of Alfred's girlfriends almost lead us to war? Yeah! A war!" A voice said in the room. Wow, a war?! WERE THEY THAT BAD?! SERIOUSLY!?

The quarrels kept on going by and you felt like you wanted to tear up, BUT NO. You wanted to be strong for him. You wanted to do the right thing even if it's bad for you, but good for him. You wanted to be his hero.

Time passed by fast and as soon as you knew it, the meeting was over. People, who were a few of their bosses and countries scattered everywhere as they walked out the door. There were lot of people, A LOT.

Alfred finally made it out of the crowd and stood in front of you.

"Hey, (y/n)! Sorry it took long, wanna go to the arcade or something?!" He asked, being his happy self.

He saw you crying, and it worried him, "WOAH! DUDE ARE YOU OKAY?!" He  shouted loud, though it wasn't loud enough. The people and countries scattering everywhere were still there, it didn't make much of an effect. He also worried about this because it was the first time he saw you cry.

"A-Alfred... I-I... I don't wanna be your problem anymore." You said, your voice cracking. He tilted his head and gave you a 'what do you mean?' look.

"I know that you were stressed out because of me for the past few days... T-The countries got mad at you for dating me because they think I'm a Mary Sue because of your other girlfriends... I-It's like they're not even giving you freedom anymore... I-it's like I'm not even giving you freedom anymore! I want the best for you... I want you to be at peace with no one bothering you anymore... I-I... Hope you find someone better that the other countries would appreciate..."

The last words you spoke just broke your heart and more tears went flowing down like a waterfall. Alfred's face went sad as well, "(Y-Y/n)... W-What do you mean?" He said as if he was gonna cry as well.

"Good bye..." You said before disappearing into the crowd. Well, you didn't really disappear though, all the other people were taller than you so it made you look like a little kid in their point of view.

"(Y-Y/N)?!" He panicked. He looked everywhere for you, he really did love you, but you just let that go to waste. Alfred still loved you even if you were gone, you were different from the other girls he dated. When he heard your explanation, he obviously knew what you were talking about.

•Your POV•

I ran and ran, fast enough that people wouldn't see me. I saw grey clouds coming through, a rain drop fell on my forehead, dropping down to mix with my tears.

I reached home and ran upstairs as fast as I ran a while ago. I slammed the door and curled up into a ball beside my bed.

'What have I done? Was it for the best? Will they finally forgive him? What am I going to do now?' These thoughts just keep stirring up. I wanted to go back in time and fix everything, I had regret.

"How am I supposed to show my face in front of them now?" I said referring to the F.A.C.E family. I liked the family, it was sort of unique, they kept on fighting but just laugh about it in the end.

Knock, knock, knock!

Someone knocked on the door... It was familiar knocking... It sounded so familiar...

Who was it...?
