A Life Without Maxon

The Truth is Out

Maxon's POV

Kriss looked at me, shock written all over her face.
"What?" She whispered trying not to cry.
"Kriss I'm sorry it happened during the Selection. I just found out today."
"You slept with her!? With America!?"
"I'm sorry Kriss, it was a long time ago."
"And you never told me!!"
"Kriss I'm sorry!"
She starts to cry and I run to her and try and comfort her.
"Get away Maxon!!!"
"Kriss..."
"Just leave me alone!" I just want to be alone right now."
"Kriss... I'm..."
"GET OUT MAXON!!!!!"
I don't say anything and leave the room.
Once I'm in the hallway I fall to the floor and run my hand through my hair.
Stupid. Why did I have to be so STUPID!
I can't imagine what Kriss must be feeling right now.
She does not deserve to find out this way.
What did I do!?
I fall asleep in the hallway thinking of what I did.

The next day

I wake up the next morning in the hallway.
I then remember all that happened last night.
Seeing America.
Finding out I was a dad.
Telling America I wanted to choose her.
Accidentally telling Kriss about the twins.
I groan and run a hand through my hair.
I get of the floor and go into my room.
I then remember that America was leaving today.
I begin to run to her room.
I didn't want her to leave!
I needed her here.
I walked into her room and she was packing her stuff and getting Eadlyn and Ahren ready.
"Hey" I say.
She looks up at me tears in her eyes.
"Darling what's wrong?" I ask running over to her and embracing her.
She continues to cry and I just hold her.
I noticed the twins were in the room.
"America maybe we should talk somewhere else."
She nods her head.
I lead her out of the room and into the hallway.
"America what's wrong?"
"I heard you last night." She whispered.
" Did you really forget about me?"
I was shocked. She really heard me. I didn't know if I should tell her the truth. How embarrassing would it be to say that I thought about her all the time. But look we're lying has got me right now.
Kriss hated me.
America thought I didn't care about her.
"America, I drove myself crazy thinking about you. You were all I thought about for the first year. And now not a day goes bye without me thinking of you.
I just said that because Kriss needs to hear it!"
"How can I believe you."

America's POV
I wanted to believe Maxon I wanted to believe his feeling for me never went away because mine never did.
But what was I thinking? It had been three years. He was married and became King. He didn't have time to think about the girl who broke his heart.
"You just have to trust me America."
"Did you lie to me when you said you wanted to choose me."
"No America. But I can't tell Kriss I only choose her because you didn't want to be with me."
"I never said I didn't want to be with you."
"Then why did you leave?"
"Because I thought you hated me."
"I could never hate you America."
I smiled when he said that.
"I should leave." I say.
"I already caused you and Kriss enough trouble for a I
Maxon begins to chuckle.
"America please don't go."
"Why? The party's over."
"I want to be in the twins life."
My heart fluttered. He wanted to be a part of our family.
"I can't stay here forever Maxon."
"I know America. But please stay until we figure something out."
"What about Kriss?Does she know about the twins."
"Yes she knows." He says " And she is not to happy about it." He says
"I'm sorry Maxon."
"It's okay America it's not your fault."
"But isn't it? I kept the twins a secret."
"America its okay. I forgive you."
"Thank you."
"So are you going to stay for a while."
I thought about it. Did I want to be around Maxon that much. What if I got attached to him.
But I wanted Maxon to be a father to the twins.
I had no choice.
"Sure Maxon. But only for a little while."
"Great!" He says with a big Maxon smile.
I laugh at how exited he was.
"Ok. I should go." He says.
He leaves and I walk back into my room.
Looks like America Singer is back at the Palace.
