Two Beautiful Miracles

Chapter 7:

Maxon POV:
When I approached Marlee she stared at me looking annoyed. "Hey Marlee, nice to see you again!" I said. "Can I help you Maxon?" She asked with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Actually, as a matter of fact you can."

She looked at me, confusion written all over her face. "It's America." At the sound of her name she stiffened a little.

"Marlee I made a huge mistake, I was stupid to pick Kriss..."

I could have sworn I heard her say "yes you are"

"I-I I still love her" I said. Her eyes widened "WHAT! Maxon Shreave America is suffering because of you!" "I know..." I said

"Although I don't understand what this has to do with me..." she said.

"Right. If I'm correct you are supposed to sing in a couple of minutes, right?" "Right..." she said even more confused "I wanted to know if it was ok with you... if you could do me the favor of letting me sing instead?"

At first she looked confused, but then she seemed to understand, she was hesitant in what to answer. "Fine! I guess I do owe you a favor, but know that I'm doing this because of America, she deserves a happy ending. Both of you do."

"Thank you Marlee! Thank you so much!" "Alright let's go tell the audience the change of plans. we don't want to keep them waiting" she said.

I was waiting backstage while Marlee announced that she couldn't sing "Hi everybody!" She said. "As you may know Queen Kriss asked me to sing today, but unfortunately I'm just loosing my voice" at that she gave a fake cough.

I laughed at that. "But fortunately we have an amaizing singer with us today! Please welcome King Maxon Shreave!"

I knew that was my cue, just then I realized I wasen't sure what I wanted to sing, oh well I guess I'll just have to sing my feelings out. At that I took a guitar, I wasn't that good at it, but for America I would do anything.

America's POV:
I was so confused! Marlee didn't seem sick. Just then my eyes widened when she mentioned "Please welcome King Maxon Shreave!" Maxon? Sing?, I kind of wanted to laugh at the thought, but I was to confused to do so.

Then Maxon came up to the stage, his chocolate brown eyes met mine, he smiled. "This is a song about love" I was so confused, why was he still looking at me? Just then he started playing the guitar.

1st song Maxon is singing: As long as I have you by Dove cameron (PRETEND DOVE CAMERON IS MARLEE JUST FOR THE INTRODUCTION PART!)

"I tried on my own I thought I'd get there" I had to admit he was a pretty good singer. "Around and round but I was only getting nowhere" just then I realized Maxon wasen't the only one looking at me, Marlee was too, almost as if she was on the verge of laughing, as if she knew something, something I didin't.

"Then you came along and gave me something, Something that I could believe in, trust in, And I won't go back again." I couldn't stop looking at Maxon, and he was still looking at me.

"As long as I have you, I can live like there's nothing left to lose" could it be could this song be for me? My heart told me it was, but I didn't want to belive it, maybe it was for Kriss?

"Unbreak every fracture in my heart,
Nothing in this world could ever tear this love apart." I felt like crying all the emotions from the selection came back to me. It was like a connection.
