America's POV
Maxon walks in the living room and I close the door. "You can sit down" I say to him as he's still standing. He walks over to the couch and sits down. I sit on the recliner on the other side of the room.

"Why are you here?" I say looking extremely confused at him. "America I'm here because of you" he says. "What do you mean? What did I do?". "America, I tried not loving you for 3 years. I really did. I tried so hard and all it did was make me love you even more."
"I regretted every day that went by when it wasn't you by my side. I was such an idiot back then."

"Maxon, I was the idiot not you. I'm sorry that I told you to leave me alone but I really needed the time away from you" he looks hurt when I say that last part. I'm not lying though. "Maxon, after I left I realized that all those royalties made me realize why I don't want a life like that" "America I'm not a royal anymore. We can be together just like we've always wanted."

"Maxon, that's what I wanted and what you want. I found myself and I want to fly solo for a while." He realized what I meant and said "well I should go then" slouching his shoulders he got up and walked to the door. "Have a good night America" he opened the door and walked out to his car. After the door shut I wait in the living room looking out the window. I see him get in his car and bang the wheel. He looks up at the house one last time and speedily drives off.
