Chapter 4
Alfred drove to the borderline of America and Canada. Alfred parked the car, got out and leaned against the car. He waited by the car as he waited for Mattie.. Matthew.. Canada.. Whoever he was, to cross the bridge into America.
Alfred read a few pages of the journal. He read mostly about Canada. The inside jokes, his childhood with America. It was a bit sad, Alfred was determined to make Matthew happy with "America". He seemed like a great person, and finding out his brother died would break Matthew.
Alfred also found out that Canada and America were close to England and France. So, in case Canada wanted to talk about them, Alfred read about them too. Which wasn't easy to read. America put his feelings down about England, France, and Canada. He felt betrayed about how each one attacked America in the past at some point. America wrote he was over it, but Alfred thinks he still felt betrayed. Except for Mattie. America only wrote positive things about Mattie. He also listed days that Alfred should especially visit Mattie. Alfred noticed it was hockey season was the list, so the two brothers spent hockey season together. That was sweet in Alfred's opinion.
"America!" Came a soft shout. Alfred snapped his head up. A male around his age waved at him. Alfred smiled and waved back. This was Matthew, or Canada. He looked like America, his face did. Canada had longer hair, with a curl that stuck out. It was painfully obvious that America and Canada were twins.
"Hey Mattie!" Alfred greeted, giving Canada a bro hug. Alfred helped Canada with his bag he was carrying, he paused when he noticed a polar bear? Alfred blinked at the bear, the bear blinked back.
"So, what are we doing?" Mattie asked, when Alfred threw his bag in the trunk of the car and got into the car.
"How about getting some lunch?" Alfred offered. Mattie nodded, while he chatted happily to Alfred.
