The one

chapter five

Chapter 5

I woke with a huge headache. I pressed the palm of my hand to my forehead and groaned.

"Are you okay" someone asked me.

I slowly turned my head in the direction of where the voice came from.

"Lucy?" I questioned. I was still a little fuzzy. She nodded her head. I looked around the room. We were the only ones in there here. I was laying in my bed with an ice pack next to me.

"What happened?" I asked her.

"You fainted" she told me with a worried face. "Elise brought you in saying she found you in the garden. She is getting more ice for you right now." Just at that moment Elise walked in. She saw that I was awake and rushed over to give me a hug.

"Man I was so worried about you. You have been out for two days." I jumped out of the bed.

"Two days!" I shouted. "That means I missed part of my trips for the challenge!"

"Yeh about that" Lucy started. "The doctor said that you have been under a lot of stress lately. So he wants you to stay here at the castle for the rest of the week.

"what" I shouted I couldn't believe it. There was no way that I wouldn't be eliminated know. Just because I had a lot of people on my side for the first one doesn't mean that the rest of the cities on my side. I groaned and put my face in my hands. There was no way I could do this now. I would go home with my second heart break. Elise put a hand on my shoulder.

"It is okay. You are not going to be eliminated. Not if Maxon loves you." She didn't know. A question started to haunt my mind. I know that he once loved me, but does he still?

@@@@@@@@@@@@

I went to sleep that night hoping for a dreamless sleep. I did only to be awoke in the middle of the night with an arose of commotion. I could hear bunches of people running past my room and talking loud and fast. I institly jumped out of my bed and put on robe. I darted out of my room and followed everybody else. I noticed that we were heading in the direction of the front entrance. When we finally got there, I was shocked. There was one person who was drawing all this attention. There standing in the middle of all the commotion was Celeste. She grinned. I could tell she was enjoying all this attention. Then I realized that Maxon was right next to her. He tried to say something but his voice was darined out by everybody's elses voice. He raised it and I finally heard him. "if everyone but the rest of the elite could go back to what they were doing, I would be really pleased. I want the Elite to go down to the Women's room and wait for me." And then he left. I started in the direction I was supposed to be going in while my thoughts roamed. Why would Maxon be going down to the women's room and most importantly Celeste being back.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

I talking to Elise when Maxon finally walked in.

"Ladies if I could have your attention please." We all quieted down.

"Celeste if you could please tell us about what happened with the rebels and how you got back."

She gave him a fake smile.

"Gladly"she stood up. "While I was trying to get to the safe room, a rebel instersepted me. I tried to escape but he pinned me down. Then he blinded me and took me away." A fake tear feel off her face. "Anyway, they took me to their camp and tied me up. They finally took me blindfold off, but I couldn't tell where I was. When my guards finally feel asleep, I slipped out of the ropes that were around my wrist. You know since my hands were smooth and slickly, It was easy." I rolled my eyes. She continued.

"I escaped the camp and walked about 5 miles straight looking for a town. The only thing keeping me going was the thought of Maxon." She gave him another one of those fake smiles.

"I finally found a town and the people were very glad to give me a ride here. As you know, I am very popular." I rolled my eyes again.

"Well we are glad you are back" Maxon told her a gave her a huge smile. "Well ladies if you could all go back to your rooms. Celeste if you could please stay behind."

We exited. I walked back to my room with Elise.

"Wow" Elise whispered to me. "Can you believe that she escaped and didn't freak out?" I mumbled a yes in reply but I didn't real pay attention to what she asked me. I knew that there was something wrong with her story. There was no way that the rebels would let her escape that easily. Also, she didn't even have any scratches or mud on her. If she walked 5 miles, she defiantly wouldn't look perfect. There was defiantly something wrong with her story. But why would she lie?

@@@@@@@@@@@

At around two o'clock in the morning, I was woken up once again.

"America" someone whispered in my ear. When I didn't move they pushed their lips against mine. I may not have kissed Maxon a lot, but I knew that they weren't his. I pushed whoever it was away and shouted at them,"What are you doing!"

"Be quiet" they whispered to me the voices sounding very firmilar. Then they walked into the only place in my room where there was a little light, moonlight, coming from my room.

"Aspen!" I half whispered. "What are you doing here?"

"I want to know why you are still here" he said with a little bit of anger. "you told me you were going home!" he replied.

"Aspen, Maxon gave me another chance" I replied a little bit annoyed.

"Why?" he asked. "he is just playing with your emotions. America, I made a mistake. I love you and I know you love me back. You know that's true." He yelled at me quietly.

I didn't care if somebody may hear me. I shouted at him, "Aspen, I don't love you anymore and you have to accept it. Ether you do or you get out of my life!" while I was yelling at him I walked up to him and with every word poked him in the chest. Then he did something I didn't espect. He kissed me. I anomaticlly threw him off.

"Get out" I growled at him. he didn't move so I opened the door and pushed him through it. But before I could shut it in his face he whispered to me harshly.

"no matter what it takes you will be mine again." Then I shut the door. I sighed and leaned against the door. Was he right? Is Maxon just playing with my feelings? After the last week, I was starting to believe it. I started crying for what seemed like the one hundredth time.
