Selection Epilogue

Chapter two

"Maxon,we need to talk," I say. I don't really know what I'm going to say.

"Yes, darling?" He replies.

I sigh. How am I going to say this? I will just be honest
"Maxon, I think we need to make more time for each other. I feel like I never see you," I say.

He sits up. So do I.
"I'm sorry darling, but that is part of the job,"he says.

I shake my head, "Yes, I know, but what about us? Doesn't that matter?" I ask.

"Of course, but we have a responsibility to rule the country," he replies.

"We also have a responsibility to each other too," I say.

"Are we going to fight right now?"he asks.

"We can't just ignore this," I reply.

"Fine."he says. He stands up. I do too.

"Don't be like that," I say.

"Like what?"

"Don't act like this isn't important. This is our marriage. This is important," I say.

"I know this is, but what do you want me to do? I can't just stop being king." He says.

"I never said that. All I'm saying is we need to spend more time with each other." I say.

"I know that. If I could, I would. We don't have any time to spare. We have work. We can't just stop working." He says.

"I know that! Don't you know that I know that?" I shout.
"But I also know that I am spending almost no time with my husband! Sometimes I don't even see you at meals!" I shout.

"I have a lot of work! I am very busy, being king," he shouts back.

"I understand, but would it kill you to save some time for us?" I ask.

"I don't have time! If there is one thing we don't have, it's time!" He shouts.
"Have you even thought about this for one moment?!" He shouts.

"Yes. Of course I have! I understand we are busy, but I miss you! Have you thought about that?!" I shout back.

"I don't have time to think because I'm so busy!" He yells.
"Sometimes you can be so obnoxious!" He yells.

"Is that how you feel?"I ask.
"I'm glad you took this seriously." I say sarcastically.

I blink back tears. I walk towards the door.

"Where are you going?"he calls after me.

I don't look back or answer. I just walkout of the room. He is being totally irrational. I'm not asking him to stop being king. I'm just asking for him to also be my husband.

I go to my old room from the selection. I know he will probably look i the queen suite and the princess suit, but he probably won't look here.

I sigh and plop onto the bed. Tears fall down my face.
I will have to tell Mary and Lucy to meet me in here instead. I will stay here until he is ready to talk about this like a civil person.

Everything in here is the same. I honestly miss the selection right now. It feels like I could always talk to him back then. Like he always had time for me.
I would give anything to spend time with him, because no matter how mad I am, I love him so much.

I get under the blankets and fall asleep.
