A/n: --y/n means your name. Just in case
---------------¤----------------
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree.
They strung up a man,
They say who murdered three.
---------------¤----------------
"WAIT! WAIT!" Alfred yelled. They have the wrong person. (Y/n) didn't kill those men. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. They thought she was a boy, by what she was wearing.
"YOU HAVE THE WRONG PERSON! STOP!" They weren't listening to his screams as the executioner finished tieing a noose to the hanging tree. Alfred tried to run to (Y/n), but was held back and silenced by a few local men.
---------------¤---------------
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be,
If we met, at midnight in the
hanging tree
---------------¤----------------
Arthur, the local government wizard, brought together a platform upon which the suspect would stand and accept her set sentence.
--------------¤----------------
Are you, are you, coming to the tree.
Where dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here no stranger would it be
if we met at midnight in the hanging tree
---------------¤----------------
"NO! ALFRED, RUN! GO, DON'T COME FOR ME!" (Y/n) yelled as she was led up the stairs of the platform by her wrist binds.
"ALFRED, RUN!" she screamed as the noose was fitted around her neck.
Alfred fought against the hands that held him back from his beloved (Y/n). He tried to convince people that that was in fact (Y/n), a townsgirl who was loved by all, and not a murderer; but everyone just brushed off his words like water droplets off a duck's back.
Alfred's brother and good friend Matthew came up and hugged him and covered his eyes as (Y/n) was executed. Matthew immediately spun Alfred away from the girl's hanging body and brought him to the house in which the brothers shared.
---------------¤----------------
Are you, are you coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of hope
Side by side with me
---------------¤----------------
It's been three days since the execution. Alfred hasn't been the same, and no one thinks he ever will be the same.
Only once since then has he looked at her. It was only to give her the last rose in the floral store, and tell her the words 'I miss you'.
Secretly Alfred has been looking for rope, just like the one his lover was hanging by. It was midnight when he finally did find satisfactory rope. Everyone was asleep by now, so no one could stop him from his plan.
--------------¤-----------------
Strange things did happen here,
No stranger would it be,
--------------¤-----------------
He was ready. There he stood, next to (Y/n)'s corpse as he finished the knot of the noose.
Alfred swung the excess rope over the branch to which the other noose was attached. He fastened the rope there, then slipped the rope around his own neck. A lone tear fell and slid down his face as he kicked the prop out from under his feet.
----------------¤---------------
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree.
----------------¤---------------
Everyone was shocked the next morning. No one ever thought that Alfred would do such thing.
Years pass as the two lovers still hung there. The town realized their mistake when they found the real murderer. A unanimous silent agreement hung to never allow the tree to be tore down and leave the two there in their memory, and as a reminder to those who cast their gaze upon the hanging tree of the story of the girl who died innocently, and the boy who died for love.

So that's that. That is Aph America, also known as Alfred F. Jones from Hetalia. Matthew is also from Hetalia; he is Aph Canada. So credits to Hidekaz Himaruya. The song is called 'the hanging tree'. I don't know who is performing in the video, I just really like it. Credits to them, whoever they are. Also credits to the person who originally wrote it too :)
