America POV
I stared at my wig laying helplessly on the floor. I didnt dare look up at the two waiting for an explanation. I was panicking so much I could feel the sweat forming at the top of my head.
After what felt like forever, Lisa spoke up.
"So are you going to say anything or are we gonna stand here waiting all day?" She questioned, anger and betrayal etched into her face.
I sighed and looked up at them. "You guys are either gonna think I'm stupid or psychotic of I tell you. And if I tell you you guys may be in trouble." I said sadly, feeling the tears slowly in my eyes.
Both girls say on either side of me and held my hands. "I promise we wont say anything to anyone and we will believe you. Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye pinkey promise." Emma said, making me let out a small laugh.
"Okay... its started about a year ago..." and from there I explained everything from when Maxon chose me to when I had to pretend to die to now.
At the end of my story, both girls had tears I'm their eyes and they gave me a tight hug. "Aweee my baby, you've been through so much. I swear to god when I get my hands on that stupid Clarkson and Dense as hell Maxon I'm gonna-"
"Shhhhh!" I laughed. She looked me directly in the eyes and said " we are going to get you and Maxon back together even if it's the last thing I do!" Lisa yelled and Emma agreed with her.
"What did I do to get such amazing friends like you?" I said, finally letting the tears fall.
"OH! We still have to get you ready! Hurry up and dry your hair so we can get that wig back on you." Emma said all of the sudden and we all got up and began getting me ready.
{Time skip}
I looked in the mirror in complete awe. Am I positive this is me? NOPE. Is it me? Who knows, all I know is that the person staring back at me is gorgeous.
"Girls, you've flipping outdone yourselves. Are you sure this is me?" I asked, turning to look at them.
"Yes maam! It's all you. Our Amel- I mean America is all dolled up for the event. We didnt even do much! AISH I'm still not used to this whole Amelia America thing." Lisa said and then whined. I laughed at her.
"I'm sorry I brought this on you guys, it didnt mean to. But you have to promise you'll act like its it's nothing. The consequences for this are too much and I can't afford to slip up again like I did today." I told them.
They looked at me sympathetically and we shared a group hug. "You dont worry your pretty little wig about anything. We wont mention a tI'mhing" Emma said moving her hand in a way to show shes zipping her mouth.
"Oh look at the time, you gotta go now hun! Your gonna be late if you dont hurry." Lisa pulled away from the hug and pushed me out of my room.
"We'll clean up, now go run!" They yelled shoving me out the door.
"Thanks guys! Love you byee!!!" I laugh-yelled and made a run for it towards the main lobby where the entrance was.
On the way down, I met with someone I rather not see.
"Hey bitch! Where do you think you're going all dressed up like that Hmm?" She asked me.
"Please move out of the way Kristen. I was to meet king Maxon and I'm sure he wont appreciate it if I tell him you were the reason I'm late." I said looking her dead in the eye. I was sick of her always trying to do stuff to make me feel threatened.
"Ugh listen up little slut. Maxon is mine. I dont care whether you're his assistant or whatever, he. Is. Mine. You better not get in the way." She said shoving me against a wall.
"Or else what?" I challenged.
"Or else he'll find out that his assistant is hiding a little something something from him." She said smirking.
Fuck. How'd she know??
"I have no clue what you're talking about. Now excuse me I'm already late." I Said and rushed toward the entrance where Maxon was patiently waiting.
"Sorry I'm late, I had a little something to take care of before hand." I said panting a little.
"No worries, let's just get going now, we dont wait to be anymore late than we are." Maxon said ushering me into the car as we headed towards the event.
I stared out the window and thought about what Kristen said. What is she knows? What will I do? What if Ckarkson finds out? I unintentionally let out a small groan and Maxon snapped his head my way
"You okay there?" He asked.
"Uh y-yeah, sorry haha. I was just overthinking somethings." I cursed myself for stuttering.
"Wanna talk about it?" He asked, fully turning towards me.
"It's fine. It'll be okay eventually." I said looking back outside.
"You know, you always tell me to depend on you when theres something wrong but you never depend on me when something's wrong." He said. I could hear the slight sadness in his voice.
You wont understand. I wish I could tell you but then it would ruin everything.
"You wont understand, dont worry about me Maxon." I said back.
"Can I have an idea about what's going on then. Just a vague idea." He persisted.
I sighed.
"Okay so, I was talking to a friend from uh.. France recently, she told me that theres this person that she really loves but she can't tell him. He thinks she left even though shes closer than he thinks. Now hes out perusing other girls and she is feeling heartbroken. One day this girl came up to my friend and said something threatening that could've ruined her life completely if leaked. Shes stressing out and doesn't know what to do." I said, summarizing my whole life as Amelia. But he doesn't need to know that its about me.
"Well, this guy must be very stupid. And I feel that your friend has been very strong for being able to see him peruse other girls, I'm not sure why he doesn't know but I feel that things will get better for them." He said.
The car had stopped and the driver opened the door. We walked out into into the large doors that were still open, awaiting our arrival before closing.
I stood beside Maxon as he was greeted by many dignitaries and noble men.
I internally laughed as I watched Maxon talking to a famous professor from Whites.
If only you knew it was you and I who I was talking about.
