One Shots from the Selection Series

Marlee's POV:

It was the weekend, and we were given a free day. Most of the girls were spending their day in their rooms, or the Woman's Room, but I need a change of scenery. As I wandered the halls I came across a deserted ballroom, no girls, no princes, and no guards, just me.

Ever since I was a little girl I had been talented at dancing, and this was the perfect opportunity to let my soul go.

I knew what I wanted to do, and today was a day off right? So this was okay, I wouldn't break any rules. Yes, I needed this, it was definitely allowed.

I step into the room and lose myself in a song, my body dancing to the beat.

"On the brink of a new day,
on the heels of something more.

With the strength of a hundred hands,
They're stronger than before.

They say she'll grow out of it,
They're contemptuous and cool.

In pursuit of happiness,
We'll find a way...

Maybe we could just runaway,
Maybe we could just runaway,
Maybe we could just runaway for good,
'Cause we're both misunderstood...

On the brink of a new day,
On the heels of something more.

In the wake of a heavy hand,
There is a new world to explore.

They say she'll grow out of it,
They're contemptuous and cool.

In pursuit of happiness,
We'll find a way...

Maybe we could just runaway,
Maybe we could just runaway,
Maybe we could just leave this place for good,
'Cause we're both misunderstood...

'Cause we're both misunderstood...

(Instrumental)

Maybe we could just runaway,
Maybe we could just runaway,
Maybe we could just leave this place for good,
'Cause we're both misunderstood...

Maybe we could just runaway,
Maybe we could just runaway,
Maybe we could just leave this place for good,
'Cause we're both misunderstood...

'Cause we're both misunderstood...

'Cause we're both misunderstood..."

I finish my song and pretend to bow dramatically to an imaginary audience.

When suddenly I hear someone clapping behind me.

Shocked, I spin around and come to see Carter, clapping softly and watching with loving eyes.

He mutters just one word, one word that makes me sure that I love this man.

"Beautiful,"

I laugh happily and run to him. He smiles and catches me when I jump into his arms. His hair was tousled and his eyes were shining up at me, full of delight.

"God, I love you," I say as I stare into his eyes.

He smiles his cheeky smile and says, "I love you too, heck, I'd scream it from the rooftops for you."

My heart explodes at that and I tenderly pull him into a romantic, passionate kiss.

A/N; My other one shot on this pair got the most votes, so I thought I'd do another one for all of you! The song featured in this is called Runaway by Electric Youth and I absolutely love it! As always, read, comment, vote, share and follow!
