**Americas Pov**

I pace back and forth though out my room thinking about the day. What did it all mean? Why is Gerard all the sudden being so nice to me? Why do I enjoying being around him so much? Why did the king choose me? Why do i wish it was Gerard instead? Ugh! So many questions i have no idea how to answer.
In frustration I roughly flop down on my bed. I have so many feelings bottled up. I just want to scream. The king was so much worse than i excepted. The number one thing i found out about him today was that he was completely and utterly fake. Everything about that man is fake. He says he is doing this for his kingdom but he is obviously doing it to insure the position of king for himself. If he really wanted to help out the kingdom he would step down and let Gerard become king. He is a true leader.
For some reason my heart gives a little flutter when i think of Gerard. I cant stop thinking about his face. How sweet he is. How he purposely let me win today. I give a little laugh at the thought. Then i sigh. No i must not think like this. It could never work. He could never love me. And besides i'm betrothed to his father. I shut my eyes tight at the thought of marrying the king and feel a single tear slide down my face. I guess this is how it will be for the rest of my life. Always crying


***Gerards pov***

I walk back and forth in thought of my dear America. There is no reason denying it now. I am quite fond of he company. And I am quite sure that i have fallen in love with the girl. I was so cruel to her. The memories of me being so cruel and mean to her and her family have haunted me all day. They will not let me be. Its all my fault I am the one who found her, I am the one who took her from her family. UGH! Im a monster! I smash both of my hands on the table and knock everything off it and kick it over. You idiot! Now she will marry your father! Its all your fault!
I fall to my knees in defeat head in my hands not caring if i cry. I have ruined not only Americas life but in doing so i have ruined my own and my only chance of happiness. Soon the only girl i have ever loved and will ever love will marry my father and become queen and even worse, My step mother.
No! I will not let it happen! I cant i simply cant let it happen. I must come up with a plan. I have to talk to her. Now! I jump up and run out of my room not even caring if anyone sees that i am not wearing a shirt. I run to her room and open the door and barge in.
"America wake up." I say quietly. She sits up in her bed and looks at me. I can barley see her with only one candle lit but i can see that there are tears running down her face.
"Gerard?" She says quietly "Whats wrong?" She looks nervous. I shake my head and
walk closer to her and kneel down by the bed and wipe the tears off her face with my thumb. She just looks at me stunned.
"Whats wrong sugar?" I say with hurt in my voice. She looks down.
"You can tell me sugar. You can tell me anything" I say trying to get her to tell me. She sniffles a little bit and looks back up.
"Im scared Gerard." She finally says and tears run down her face. I cant stand it anymore. I stand up and sit on the edge on the bed and wrap my ams around her small body.
"Its going to be okay. Don't you worry i'm going to get you out of here." I whisper in to her. She looks up at me "What do you mean?" She says
"Im not sure yet but i'm going to figure out how to get you out of this hell hole."
She hugs me vary tight. "I love you Gerard" She says vary quietly i can barley make out what she said. Stunned i say "I-i love you too. Im going to fix this" I say and kiss her on the forehead and get up and walk out the door.
