I thought I'd try something new so here goes nothing:

POV: May
As soon as we start watching The Report, I noticed several things. First off, Maxon was a mess. His hair was all tangly and he had huge dark circles underneath his eyes. This I thought was strange. Why would he be so stressed? He's a prince for Pete's sake. If he didn't like something, then he could just fix it. One girl from the selection, Kriss(?) was seated right next to Maxon and Queen Amberly and King Clarkson. But what really caught my eye, was that America wasn't there.
"Mom-" I start to ask.
" Shhh. Watch." She shushes me.
Unwillingly  obeying, I physically turn back to the screen, by my mind wanders. Maybe she is just not feeling well, and didn't want to go on? Yeah that must be it. She doesn't like publicity much. I shake my head, giggling at my own silliness. If you want to know what's up May, then why don't you just watch and see? Turning my attention back to the screen I see Garviol call Maxon and Kriss down to join him.
"Today I have to bring some both sad and exciting news." He started off, as cheery as ever. "Let's start with the good. Congratulations to Maxon and Kriss on their engagement!" What!?! No America was supposed to win! She loves him, and he her! What happened? Turning I try to ask my mom a question once again, but am just "shussshed!" More loudly. "This might be important!" Sighing sadly I slowly turned back to see Maxon step forward. "For those of you that don't know, on the day Kriss and I where to be engaged, the rebels attacked the palace. And in said attack......" He takes a gulp, struggling to go on. King Clarkson steps forward and continues for him. "On said attack, Lady America was killed." He continues on, but I barely hear him. America can't be dead. They must be lying!! I can't lose dad, and now Mer! Tears begin to form in my eyes, and I start to get that all to familiar wretch in my heart. Turning, I hop over a bawling Kenna and running into my moms arms and hug her tight. The tv remains on and blaring, I almost have no choice but to still hear it. ".....Caught the rebel that killed her. She is to be executed tomorrow."
America is dead. And they have her murder.....right then and there I fell something deep inside me snap. For the first time in my life, I truly hated someone. I wanted them dead.....
