America's P.O.V.
May crushed me in a hug.
"You ok Ames?" She asked
"Yeah, I'm fine." I said confidently
"You're not sad that you're not going to be the Queen of Illea?" Mom asked
"Mom!" May gasped
"The least I wanted out of The Selection was to be a royal." I sighed
"I would love to be a royal." May gushed
I stared at the sky.
Mom said something but I wasn't listening. I pictured the moment we danced in the rain. The moment I kneed him. The whole day before The Prince made his choice. Ouch.
Definitely tucking that away.
"America?" Mom asked
"Yeah?" I asked
"Are you sure you're ok?" May asked
"I'm fine. I'm just a teensy bit tired. Jee!" I huffed
"Fine Ms. Moody." May huffed
I stomped to my room and flopped on the bed.
I hadn't remembered it was this uncomfortable.
"Ames!" May shrieked
"You're already over this????" I yelled back
"America Singer come down here right now." Mom demanded
I yelled in frustration and stomped downstairs.
A startled businessman looked up from papers.
I blushed and straitened myself.
"Sorry. Um.... What do you need?" I asked
"We hear you like to sing?" He asked
"We?" I asked, peering around him
"Yes or no?" He asked
"Yes." I told him.
"You know how to sing nicely?" He asked
"I think." I cringed
"She does." Mom assured him
"Wow me." He said
"What?" I asked
"Wow me. Sing." He sighed
"Um ok." I said
I started singing We'll Be The Stars by Sabrina Carpenter. It was my favorite song right now.
We are young, we are gold
Trying things we didn't know
Looking at the sky
See it come alive
All our fears became our hopes
Climbed out every locked window
We rode a lion's mane
And fell upon the rainWe can reach the constellations
Trust me, all our dreams are breaking outNo, we're never gonna turn to dust
Yeah, all we really need is us
Don't be scared to close your eyes
No, we're never gonna die
We'll be the stars, oh
No, we're never gonna step too far
Yeah, we're holding on to who we are
When it's time to close your eyes
They will see us in the sky
We'll be the stars
We'll be the stars
We'll be the starsLet me in
Hold me close
Fill my heart with simple notes
So when it's hard to see
They are there reminding me
Take my breath
And hold me high
So I can feel the city lights
Glowing under me
It's in our reach
We're breaking outNo, we're never gonna turn to dust
Yeah, all we really need is us
Don't be scared to close your eyes
No, we're never gonna die
We'll be the stars, oh
No, we're never gonna step too far
Yeah, we're holding on to who we are
When it's time to close your eyes
They will see us in the sky
We'll be the stars
We'll be the stars
We'll be the starsWe can reach the constellations
Trust me, all our dreams are breaking outNo, we're never gonna turn to dust
All we really need is us
We'll be the stars, oh
No, we're never gonna step too far
Yeah, we're holding on to who we are
When it's time to close your eyes
They will see us in the sky
We'll be the starsWe'll be the stars
We'll be the stars
We'll be the stars
Woah, we'll be the stars
