The Selection without America?

You Didn't Tell Me!

America's POV

I can't believe that Kamber told me to go away. She just yelled at me about how much she wanted me to visit her and there I was VISITING her and she just tells me to leave.

"Are you Okay America? I shouldn't have been going into Kamber's room with you for so long. I didn't know how she felt about me." Marlee sits by my side and just talks to me.

"It's fine I didn't know how she felt either. She always holds her feelings in and then she believes that somehow I can read them. I don't get it." I say exasperated.

"Maybe you should go and apologize. I mean why leave it this close to her dying" Marlee whispered dying. "To have a fight. I mean what if she died" again whispered it. "While you guys are in a fight and then you'd never forgive yourself. Would you?" Marlee asked.

"Marlee she's not going to die! I have this feeling that she's going to survive! I mean I need her to live. I don't know what I would do without her!" I sob.

"It's going to be fine. Come on let's go and you can talk to her again. Just say you're sorry." Marlee urges me on.

"Okay. But I'm also looking for an apology back. I know it sounds selfish but she hurt me." I say and look down.

We head over to the princess suit and I see two doctors outside the room door talking. I over hear their conversation.

"-we told Lady Kamber this morning about the bad news. I honestly hate bribing bad news to the patients. I always think of the people they are going to effect." The doctor on the right says to Doctor Sarah on the left.

"I know. All I know is that it will be really hard for America when she learns because they were really close friends. I couldn't imagine being America right now. She's so brave and strong for acting so okay through all of this. If my friend was dying I would be balling and crying my eyes out everyday. America though, she goes and visits Lady Kamber every other day and I haven't seen her cry once." Doctor sarah compliments me.

"Yeah. They are really close and America has been really strong. I just wouldn't want to be in America's shoes right now," The doctor opposite of Doctor Sarah said and raised her eyebrow.

"Wait Kamber is dying?" I ask stepping out of the shadows." I was mad. Why didn't they tell me? Why didn't Kamber tell me? She knew when we had our fright that she is going to die. Why lie to me?

Both doctors turn to face me. Their faces stuck in a shocked position that would have been funny at any other moment than this one.

"America. Umm..." Doctor Sarah cleared her throat. "How long have you been standing there?"

"For about a minute or so. Just enough to hear that Kamber is dying." I say and cross my arms and look at them both up and down.

"We are so sorry we didn't tell you! We were but then Lady Kamber said she wanted to tell you the next time she saw you." The other doctor says. I get close enough to read her name tag. Amy. Doctor amy.

"Well it's too late I already know because of you two. I also visited my friend with Lady Marlee and she never told me about this!" I say raising my voice higher and higher.

"We just told Lady Kamber this morning." Sarah tells me quietly.

"But-but I was here like thirty minutes ago. Why didn't she tell me the truth that she's going to die. She lied to me. To my face." I say slowing down just realizing that Kamber lied to me.

"If you would like to talk to her go ahead." Doctor Amy says and opens the door for me. I stomp inside and I see the bed which Kamber lays on and I make my way to her bedside.
