America's POV
I storm out of the bar and call for a taxi. Celeste is behind me and Marlee is cleaning Maxon up. He broke my heart so I tried to break his face ,it worked he's got cuts and bruises all over. "America!" Celeste calls.
"Yes?" I say calmly.
"Nice one," she said giving me a high-five. "America I won't press any charges," Maxon said coming out of the bar. "Good...You're Majesty," I said curtsying then getting into the taxi with Celeste and Marlee.
SELF HARMING ALERT START
When I get home I walk into the bathroom pull open the draw and get my pocket knife out. I cut along my scars from when I've cut myself befor. When I get to my stomach scar I cut along it then I feel myself fall back and everything goes black. I've always cut myself after the selection ended. When I made a toast to 'the end' I didn't mean the end of the selection but the end of me doing drugs and cutting myself well now here I am passed out in the floor hearing two girls screaming my name.
SELF HARMING ALERT OVERMaxon's POV
Marlee burst through my bedroom doors with tears running down her face, she still works at the palace, and she's wearing the clothes that I saw her in at the bar. The only difference in the outfit was that there was blood on it. "What happened? Are you hurt?" I asked. She shook her head to say that she wasn't hurt, I let out a breath, but she gulped probably afraid to tell me what has happened. "What's happened?" I asked again.
"A-America...she's bleeding," she gasped then covered her mouth with her hand. "Where is she?" I ask calmly.
"The infirmary but she's-" I cut her off by kissing her forehead then running into the infirmary only wearing my boxers. Marlee's running behind me. I see Celeste crying all on her own. I walk up to her and wrap my arm around her shoulder. I've got better with crying women ever since I married Kriss. Kriss cried like every week. "She's getting stitches," Celeste told me wiping he tears away. "Why?" I asked.
"Because she cut herself 10 times," she said then burst out crying again when Kriss came through the doors. "What!" I shouted. I went up to every room and opened the door to see who was inside, until I found America. There she was in her bra and shorts ,that she wore at the bar, lying helpless on a hospital bed. "Oh America why?" I asked taking her hands. "Because of you," she said keeping her eyes closed. "What did I do?" I asked.
"You never wanted to see me again...so I guess this is my way of making sure that happens," she told me. I regretted saying those words the moment I said them ,but once there out of your mouth they hurt people and I hurt the person I loved. Scratch that, I still love her. I love America! I do and always will wether I'm with Kriss it didn't matter she's my America forever. "Would you like to stay here? I could help you get better," I asked.
"Do it Mer," someone said from the doorway. America's eyes opened. "Aspen!" She said.
"Hi," he said.
"How's things?" America asked wiggling her eyebrows. I chuckled and so did Aspen. "Great me and Lucy are trying for a baby," Aspen said. Him and Lucy? America's old maid? Wow. "Aww," America said.
"Stay we can help you here," Aspen told her. America faced me and nodded. Without thinking I kissed her and she kissed me back. "Guys!" Aspen shouted. We broke apart blushing like tomatoes. "Sorry," America apologised.
"It's fine," I said.A/N I hope you liked this chapter. What will happen next? Read and find out🤓
