I walk upstairs to the great room. Everyone looks over at me. Daphne looks so smug. I sit across from Alexander and sadly next to Maxon. "Hey, darling, " Maxon says. "Hello, " I say. I eat my food quietly. Once I finish I excuse myself. "Oh, I'm coming, "Maxon says. "I have work to do, " I snip. Alexander looks upset. I go downstairs and I start working on a dress even though I don't have to make any yet. A half an hour later someone opens the door. "Hey, " Maxon says. "Hey, " I say not looking up from my work. "I thought you finished all of your work, " Maxon inquires. "I'm getting ahead, " I say sadly. "Oh." "America I need to tell you something, " he starts. I look up from my work. "That you kissed Daphne...I know, " I shrug. "Okay well first off I didn't kiss her...she kissed me and I pushed her off after one disgusting moment!" he defends. "And wait how did you know?" he asks. "Maxon I saw that disgusting moment when y'all were kissing and I left, " I explain. "Why didn't you say anything?" he asks. "I wanted to know if you would tell me or not, " I confess. He nods. My eyes unwilling well up. "I'm sorry America, " he says his eyes welling up. Maxon steps out of the room for a moment and a minute later a guard comes back with a jump drive. He plugs it into the tv that I'm allowed to watch reports on. A video of it comes on the screen. Daphne forces herself on Maxon and kisses him and he pushes her off. I really was only there for a split second. Maxon wiped his lips off. He yells at Daphne a bit. The video comes to an end. Maxon stares at me. I walk over to him. "Did you wash your mouth like you said you would?" I ask. He nods. A tear falls down his cheek. I wipe the tear off of his face. I kiss him. It wasn't his fault. I whisper a centimeter away from his lips, "I forgive you." He lets out a sigh of relief. I smell soap and toothpaste. "And you do smell like soap, " I whisper. He laughs and hugs me. "I love you, " he whispers. "I love you too, " I whisper back. "When is Daphne leaving?" I ask. "As soon as possible, " Maxon says. "Good, " I laugh. He holds my hand and we go up to his room.
