"You get confused by crying women, I get confused by walks with princes." - America singer

----

Each day I thank myself for having the guts for entering the selection, if it wasn't for Aspen I don't know where I would be right now. I realized I do have Aspen to thank for all of this.

I knocked on Maxon's door, He didn't answer. "Maxon dear?"

I open the door and see Maxon passed out on the bed. "Dear?"

Maxon's eyes are half shut and his face is pale from the fore head to chin. "Dear really isn't my thing.." His smile made my day.

"Then what is?" I asked while sitting down at the edge of the bed. "I was thinking sexy beast? You dig?" He chuckled lightly.

Tears were running down my eyes from laughter. "No I don't, are you feeling okay?"

"I'm fine." Maxon bluntly replied.

"Define fine. Maxon if you are sick you got to tell me." I was trying to be as sincere as I could.

"America, I promise you I'm not sick."

His eyes were all swollen up, I guess from him rubbing them. If this wasn't a cold I don't know what is then. Allergies? It couldn't be.

"Don't make promises you can't keep." I mumbled underneath my breath.

I walked downstairs and checked on Xaiver, Lynn and May. They were outside playing in the leave piles with Nova.

The trees were naked, every single leaf was fallen on the ground. This was possibly my favorite season. I remember around this time we celebrated 'Halloween' back in the selection days.

I couldn't drag myself out of thinking that Maxon was sick, I needed to do something. Fast.

Don't hate me but I needed another twist in the story so I kinda made Maxon have some kind of plague. Idk yet so no more spoilers.
