|| Martial Law || Countryhumans Story

Chapter 5

It was a stessfull day for martial. He bath so many times and scrub his skin so hard that it started to bleed. Martial then realized what he was doing and then went to bandage himself up. He felt so disgusted in his own body. No matter how many years has it been. He still couldn't get over it. Martial didn't want to sleep again no matter how tired he is. So he dressed up wearing a hoodie to hide all his bandages.

He then got up and went out. He was walking through a park when his stomach growls. He forgot to eat his breakfast. He then looked around and found a nearby foodstand. He got there and ordered one hotdog when he notice the person beside him. It was ame's brother Canada.

"hey Canada. "

Canada looked beside him and greeted him with a smile.

"oh hey martial. What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in school. "

"yeah... I'm... I wasn't feeling so well I just came here to take a breather. "

"oh... I see well I hope your alright then. "

"yeah yeah...  Am fine no need to worry much. I already asked Phil to tell the teachers. "

"well that's good then you know a-. "

Canada was about to say something when someone shouted behind him. He looked back and realized it was his secretary. He looked back and said he was sorry and that he was in a rush. I told him it was fine and that he should go already.

Canada left and just in time, my hotdog cooled down for me to eat. I then continued my walk and then later on Sat on a bench. I threw my plastic in the trash beside the bench and relaxed.

I looked up and breath in the fresh air and I then closed my eyes. I then realized a loud beeping noise. I didn't mind it at first when it got annoying and then I look over and was wide eyes when it was America's car. I looked at him and he was beeping his car. He then stop and rolled down his windows. He smiled at me with that devious smile of his and I felt myself blush a little. He then gestured me to come to him and I got closer to him. He told me to get inside the car. i got inside and we drove wherever he would take me. We then stop by a very somewhat fancy restaurant but I never heard about it. It was pretty isolated from the city but it still was fancy looking.

We both got out and went in. There was no one there but us 2. Then I realized that the place looks somewhat familiar like I have been here before. But then it donned on me. That this place was an exact copy of the pearl palace restaurant in the Philippines that was destroyed in world war 2. It was the palace where we first met. When we were still under the reign of the Spanish Empire. When america was still new to our country.

He looked at me and drag me to the center. He then said;

"Do you remember the dance I promised you when we met. It was the time we first met."

I looked down and remembered the memory as if it was still fresh in my mind.

(Flashback)*

I was standing at the side of the ballroom as my brother was brought by the Spanish empire to be seen by the other nobles. Spanish empire always favor my brother for his beauty even though I hate the fact that he was always being used by him. That was when I saw him, America he was standing there alone as well when he looked at me he got closer to me and ask me for a dance i denied his advances but he kept persisting i was about to say go away when he was called and promise me that he will have that dance soon and left. I then left wondering what the guy was and went to serve the other nobles.

(back to present) *

I look down as he looked at me and hold my hand as the music of a soft melody started playing and we both started doing a slow dance I was so enraptured by the memory I was in that I didn't even realize I was dancing with him already. When I then realized what I was doing I let go and he stops and lets go as well. He then kissed my hand and we went to eat a little bit for lunch and dinner then he brought me back to my house. I looked down wondering why he did all of this. When he whispered to my ears.

"You look better when you smile. I hope this day made you feel better."

I looked shock how he knows I was down and he left me in my door stunned of what just happened today and I blushed. I went back inside and realized that I do feel much better than before forgetting all the horrible memories and I got into my room. Feeling weird. I jumped back realizing I just got into a date without realizing it. When my phone vibrated and see it was Canada. He texted me.

'You're welcome😊 I hope you feel better'

I blushed, that sly bastard and mushed myself into my pillow and I fell asleep. Hearing my brother and his friends come home. When I finally lost my conciousness.
