Lives as Fives {Selection Fanfic}

Maxon POV

I heard a scream and I thought there was a murderer. I turned my head and the girl, America is lying on the floor by their tiny staircase.
      This place has everything tiny. Tiny home, tiny amount of food, tiny furniture, tiny rooms and tiny staircases. I guess I'm just not used to it yet.
     I walk over to America.
    "Are you ok?" I ask. I'm not very good in these kind of situations. She huffs. Did I do something wrong? I think to myself.
      " Get. Dad." Is all she says, so I do as she asks.
I go to the dad's studio or garage. I'm not sure which one it is. I open the door. "America's dad?" I ask. He turns from the canvas.
"You can call me dad too, you know." He said. I nod "America needs you I say. "What now?" He mumbles under his breath. "Huh?" I ask and he just shakes his head and walks past me inside.

In my tiny room I put on my pyjamas. I know I should get ready at 7:45 because the curfew is 8:00. Only people at the castle are aloud up later.         
       I hop into my twin size bed and fall into a deep sleep. Well, that's what I hopped what would happen but it doesn't.
       I can't get America out of my brain. I have us vision of us kissing. Does that mean we're in love? No. She's been so rude to me, I can't possibly be in love with her.
       I'm already so confused, and I've only been here 3 hours.

***
I wake up to giggling. Not that I know what America giggling sounds like, but I thinks it's her. I strain to hear.
     "I love you mer." A male says.
     " Don't you dare." Says America
     "I came to apologize." The male says
     "I'm done with you." America reply's sternly
     " I made you laugh." The male says sounding like a question.
       America huffs. "I want to be with you Aspen, I really do, but you've hurt me so badly.... I don't even know anymore" she says and starts crying.
        I go to my window to watch. Aspen pulls her close. For a brief moment, I wished I was the one doing that. You're being stupid. A voice in my head says. I ignore it and keep watching.
      "Shhhhhhhh" Aspen says stroking her hair and I flinch.
      "Can we still be together?" She asks through sobs. This make me really cringe, maybe I am in love with her.
       "Of course Mer, anything for you." He says and kisses her forehead. America smiles a little.
        " We aren't engaged, but dating." America decides.
       Aspen nods and pulls her in for a long passionate kiss.
I let out a cry and fall back in my bed. I start sobbing.
There are so many reasons this shouldn't be happening.
1) they're out after curfew
2) America apparently is furious with him
3) I don't think her family knows
I end up crying myself asleep.
