America cuddled more into the blankets and watched him, "That's good," he said simply.

"Eli, why don't you go and play in your room for a while?" England suggested. Eli guessed he wanted to talk to America alone so he nodded and left the room. England looked back at America and asked, "Do you want to talk about it?"

America sat for a moment and he shook his head, "No. It's... I'm... This isn't a..." he sighed, "I feel bad saying it, but this isn't a big deal compaired to other things I've been through. It'll blow over in a few days and everyone will forget and continue with their lives. Tragedies like this... Aren't very tragic anymore. I'm starting to feel numb when it comes to things like this. It just happens, move on, wait for the next terrible thing to happen, and hope it's not another 9/11."

"It's hard to smile anymore. It's hard to keep my head high and say, 'I'm the fucking United States of America, bitch, ain't no big deal' anymore. Just one thing after another. Cold War, 'Nam, 9/11, Iraq, Iran, Hussein, Bin Laden, Katrina, oil spill, econamy, shit. It's all just shit." he grabbed his head, "I wanna be happy."

America closed his eyes and let himself be hugged. He couldn't do anything else, "Don't leave me..."

"You're the only one who gets me..." he mumbled, "Everyone sees me as stupid, fat, loud, ignorant, arrogant, nosy, superficial, the whole package... You're the only one who understands why I do what I do. You and Matt are the only ones who truely get me."
