Depressed!AmericaXxXxReader

"Alfred, dude, get your life together." You said as you rolled eyes. You were at one of your best friend's - Alfred -  house trying to cheer him up, but, as you can tell, you weren't doing a very good job.  He sighed out for like the 20th time. What is wrong with your friend you ask? Well, he just found out that his girlfriend - [Some Girl You Don't Like] - not only cheated on him, she also didn't even like him to begin with! She was just using him to 1, make her ex-boyfriend jealous, and 2, for his popularity, if that doesn't suck, especially when she was the one to tell him. You tried to tell him, but did he listen? Nope, not at all. He even yelled at you, saying you were just like everyone else that tried to break them up. It's a wonder you're still with him now but you don't give up on friends like that. He was just confused, puppy love, if you must call it something.

"[Name], dudette, I just want to be by myself right now." He said. He sighed again and laid down on his bed. You rolled your eyes and started pulling on his arm.

"Get up. Let's go." You said.

"I don't wanna." He said, just as a three-year-old would say they don't want to eat their vegetables. You continuedly pulled on his arm, but eventually gave up on the account that he was much stronger than you. You rolled your eyes again and started to walk out of his room.

"Well. Maybe I'll go to McDonald's by myself this time." You said loudly as you walked down the stairs, hoping Alfred had heard you. You walked through the living room and passed by Mr. Jones.

"See you later, Mr. J." You said. He looked up at you and smiled.

"That boy of mine giving you trouble?" He asked. You giggled and gave a slight head nod.

"He always does." You then turned your head to the stairs and yelled, "He's so troublesome!"

"Am not!" You heard Alfred yell back, causing you to laugh. Mr. Jones laughed as well and bidded you a good bye as you walked out the door. You started walking down the street when you heard footsteps coming from behind you. You looked over your shoulder and smirked at the person you saw, putting your hands on your hips.

"I thought you wanted to be alone." You stated as said person walked to you. He sighed and scratched his head.

"I was hungry." He said. You shook your head and chuckled as you began to walk again, Alfred right behind you.

"No you weren't. Your dad made you come, didn't he?"

"Right."

"Well, you needed to get out of the house anyway."

"I just need to be left alone."

"What you need is to cheer up."

"What I need is for you to shut up and get off my back." Alfred said. You stopped walking and looked at him with wide eyes. You closed your eyes and sighed before scratching your head.

"Fine. You're right, I'm sorry." You said as you started walking ahead of him. Alfred, after realizing what he said, quickly grabbed your arm.

"[Name], I didn't-"

"Yes, you did," You said cutting him off, " You wanted me off your back, you're getting your wish." You jerked your arm away and glared your [e/c] eyes at him. "I hope you're happy." You all but ran away from the blue-eyed blonde, leaving him standing in the middle of the sidewalk to watch your retreating figure.

"Damn it." Alfred grumbled as he turned to go back home.

He walked back inside his house, passed his father, and went up the stairs a bit.

"Didn't I tell you to go with [Name]?" Mr. Jones asked. Alfred sighed.

"She doesn't want to go anymore." Mr. Jones turned the television off and looked to Alfred.

"Come here, son. Let's have a man to man chat while your mother and sister are out." He said as he patted the seat by him. Alfred sighed and trudged towards his father. He plopped down on the couch and rolled his head to look at him. Mr. Jones took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"What's troubling you?" He asked. Alfred sighed and stood up.

"Nothing, Dad."

"Yes, there is. Now tell me, because [Name] doesn't deserve the short end of the stick."  Mr. Jones said. Alfred felt a pang at his heart when he remembered what happened between you two just a few minutes ago. He sat back down and began to tell his father about his now ex-girlfriend, and how you told him about her but he didn't listen and, also, about what happened when you left. Mr. Jones nodded in understanding before standing up and hitting Alfred on top of his head with the remote. Alfred yelped and grabbed his head, looking up to his dad.

"W-What was that for!?" He asked. Mr. Jones sighed and shook his head from side to side. He went down on one knee and put his hand on Alfred's right knee.

"Alfred, my boy, you don't understand anything do you?" He asked. Alfred raised an eyebrow as his father sighed.

"You might have just lost a very good friend," He stated, "Alfred, you're at fault. That sweet girl was only trying to help you, and what do you do? You run her off. You don't meet people like that on a regular basis."

"So? What are you saying?" Alfred asked. Mr. Jones sighed again and dragged his hand down his face.

"Son, are you really this dense? Who is your best friend?"

"[Name]..."

"And who has been trying cheer you up?"

"[Name].."

"And who has been with you this whole time?"

"[Name]."

"So who do you really need, son? Do you really love [Some Girl You Don't Like] or were you just looking for a replacement, since you belived [Name] was untouchable?"

"I-I don't love [Name]! I can't! Sh-She's my best friend...."

"Do you see her as more than a friend?"

"No. I mean sometimes my heart beats really fast when she's around me and it feels like I can't breathe."

"So what does that tell you?"

"I......I love........[Name]...." Alfred said. Mr. Jones chuckled and stood up. He pushed Alfred towards the door and grinned.

"Well, what are you telling me for?" He asked. "Go tell her!" With that Alfred ran to your house.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

When Alfred got to your house, your parents told him you went out with a friend.

"Do you know where?" He asked. Your mother tapped her chin for a second before looking back down at Alfred.

"I believe she went to Mcdonald's." She said. Alfred nodded and turned around to run.

"Thanks, Mrs. [Last Name]." He said as he took off once again.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

When Alfred made it to Mcdonald's he saw you through the clear windows sitting by yourself. He was about to knock on the window until he saw someone sit down with you. It was Arthur! Alfred watched as you made angry faces and said things as Arthur nodded every few seconds.

"She's probably talking about me..." Alfred said with a crestfallen face. He looked back at you and saw Arthur point to him as you turned to look. Arthur stood up and came outside. He put a hand on Alfred's shoulder and nodded his head in your direction.

"You should go talk to her, you git." He said as he walked over to his car. Alfred watched as Arthur left before going inside the fast food restaurant. He went and sat in front of you. You turned your head to where the little kids were playing in the playground thing.

"What do you want?" You asked. Alfred sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"I'm sorry, [Name]." You whipped your head back at him quickly and raised an eyebrow.

"Come again?"

"I said, I'm sorry." You stood up from the table and glared down at him.

"You think just because you came in here and apologized that everything would be all peachy keen?" He nodded his head and when your glare intensified he quickly shook it, signaling 'no'. "You seriously hurt my feelings, Alfred. I don't think sorry is going to cut it." You turned your back on him and proceeded to walk out the restaurant. Alfred hopped up and ran behind you.

"W-What if I told you I loved you!?" He yelled after her with a pink tint on his face. You looked at him with a blush on your face. You walked back inside and pulled him over to a secluded corner.

"You're lying." You said. He shook his head.

"I'm not."

"You are! Just this moring you were all sad and depressed over [Some Girl You Don't Like]! Why do you all of a sudden love me!?"  You hissed in a low voice.

"Because I figured out that it was always you, [Name]. You were the one who stayed with me through like, all of this mess."  He put a hand behind your head. "I love you, [Name]." You shook your head as you felt tears come to the corner of your eyes. You looked down and lighlty hammered his chest with your fists.

"You idiot, what took you so long?" You asked as he pulled your head closer to his.

"Sorry, I didn't know what I had, until it left me." He said as he brushed his lips against yours. You giggled and then smiled.

"Better late then never." You whispered as you pressed your lips against his. All of a sudden you heard little 'eews' and giggles. You pushed away from Alfred and saw the little kids watching you both.

You blushed

And then the children laughed

And then some parents 'awed'

And then the little girls started dancing around you

And then you started laughing

And then, FINALLY, came Alfred's smile.
