Selection Epilogue

Chapter nine

Maxon's point of view

I carry her to our room and set her down. She is so loopy on medicine.

"WOAH! Were an I?" She asks.

"In our room darling," I say.

She looks around confused. She leans her head towards my ear.

She whispers, "Maxon, I think we have been kidnapped! We need to go!!" She whisper yells.

"Maybe it was the bananas!!" I say. She was so concerned about the bananas earlier.

"Oh no! They are ruthless!" She shouts.

"How about I lock the door so they can't get in?" I ask.

She nods her head. "Hurry!!" She shouts as I get off the bed.

When I turn around from locking the door, she is no where to be found.

"America!!" I shout.

"Shhh!!!" I hear.

"Darling? Where did you go?" I ask.

I see a hand peek out from under the bed. I shake my head.

I crawl under the bed too. It's dangerous! There are bananas trying to kidnap us!

"So, what's the plan?" She whispers.

Just then a piece of her gauze falls out. She stares at it in HORROR.

"Oh my God!!! MAXON!! MY TONGUE FELL OUT!!" She shouts.

She starts crying.

"No, hey, it's okay! Look, it's not your tongue!" I say. How much medicine did they give her?

"No! It did!" She cries.

"Now you won't want to be married to be married to me!" She shouts.

"Why not?" I ask.

"I'm crazy and I just lost my tongue!" She shouts.

I can't help but chuckle.

"America, tongue or no tongue you are still crazy," I say. If she weren't to loopy on medicine she would have some smart comeback.

"But I'll always love you," I remind her.

"Let's get back on the bed instead of under it," I suggest.

She nods her head. We climb out from under the bed

We lay on the bed and get under the blankets. I pull her into a hug.

I move her hair out of her face and she smiles.

"How are you feeling?" I ask.

"It hurts," she says with a sigh.

"I'm sorry my dear," I say.

She rests he head on my chest.

Sometimes I wish we could just stay like this.
This would be all I ever need. I love her so much. We've been through so much but we've come out together. I would do ANYTHING for her.

"Maxon," She says.

"Yes?"

"I love you," she says.

She just read my mind.

"I love you too."
