Selection Epilogue

Chapter eight

Maxon's point of view.

America gets her wisdom teethe out

We have been working on our plans for sending food and necessities to the eights to help settle the rioting.

It was America's plan. I'm so proud of her. She is doing such a great job as queen. Not that I didn't think she would, but I'm proud of her achievements.

I feel bad because today she had to go into surgery to get something called wisdom teeth out. I guess it's around the normal age that people have to do that. I never got mine out though. Who knows maybe I'll have to too.

Once I finish this meeting I'm going to go check on her. It should be done by then.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

After my meeting I walk down to the infirmary.

Doctor Setlen stops me in the hall.

" I should probably warn you that she will be a little out of it from the medicine." He says.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"The medicine she is on makes her a little whoozy." He says.

"Alright, is there anything else I should know?" I ask.

"That's all. Just keep in mind she is not in her usual state of mind," he says.

I nod and walk towards the room she is in.

"MAXON!!!!!" She yells happily.She is waving her arms around.
"I've been looking everywhere for you!!! I thought the bananas got you!!!" She yelled.

Bananas? What is she talking about. This is quite amusing.

"Oh really?" I ask.

She nods her head, "Ya they tried to get me earlier but I told them my husband would beat them up!!!" She exclaimed.

I chuckled, "Don't worry, the bananas won't get you," I assured her.

She let out a sigh. "Thank goodness!!

It's hard to understand what she is saying with all the gauze in her mouth.

She tries to stand. I run over to her.

"You have to stay seated my dear." I say.

She gives me the scariest look I've ever seen.

"I AM NOT YOUR DEAR!!!!!" She yells.

Even all high on medicine she remembers. I shake my head.

"MAXON stay still!!" She whisper yells.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

She leans next to my ear.

"The banana is right behind you. Don't move!!" She whispers. She looks terrified.

I chuckle.

"It's not funny!!! I'm serious!! It will eat you Maxon!! Run!!" She whisper yells.

"Wait nevermind it is gone now," she says, putting her hand on her heart.

I chuckle. I give her a hug.

"Don't worry, no bananas are coming," I assure her.

She pushes me away. I look at her confused.

"I have a husband!! Go away!!" She shouts.

I can't help but giggle. What medicine did they give her?

"Darling-" I begin.

"I want my husband right now." She declares.

I just look at her.

"I love him SO much. Even when I am mad at him, I just want to be with him. He has the CUTEST brown eyes ever!! They look like chocolate! Can you believe that?" She says.

I smile. She won't remember any of this later, but it is nice to hear.

"And he is SO funny. He can take amazing pictures and he just makes me want to smile. His hair is like the sun! It's so pretty! HE IS SO PRETTY! I can't believe we are married," she exclaims.

Does she not realize it's me? She is on a lot of medication right now.

"Well, he is very lucky to be married to you," I say.

"Trust me, I know," she jokes.

Even all doped up she is hilarious.

"Come on, let's go to our room," I say.

She looks shocked.

"Oh no!! I said too much!" She says.

I chuckle and help her up. She stumbles a couple of times, so I decide to carry her.

This is going to be interesting.
