A/N: I posted this on quotev a while ago but I haven't even come on here in some time. (I forgot!) But here's the next chapter. it's Canada x Reader. I don't really like how I ended it but oh well.

You were best friends with Matthew, although no one else noticed him. He was extremely important to you, like a brother. you two had been hanging out together after a meeting between all the countries and you'd just been talking for a while.
Matthew's smile seemed to brighten around you, you enjoyed seeing him smile after he's ignored by everyone.
"So, (y/n)" Matthew started with a slight blush. you giggled slightly, he had tried telling you something several times over the past few days but couldn't. he blushed a bit more when you had began to giggle.
"what is it?" you asked.
"I was just wondering..." He began but trailed off "...Never mind, forget it" He said with a sigh, you expected this since he kept doing this.
"You can tell me" you told him, sincerity present in your voice.
"it's just that..." Matthew began again but paused.
"yes?" You encouraged.
"I was wondering...if you'd go out with me?" he asked, his blush increasing by the second. You were shocked, you had never thought of Matthew as anything except a brother to and you had though he had felt the same way. You felt bad, but you didn't want to risk ruining your friendship.
"Matthew, I'm sorry. But I see you more as a brother" You said slightly sad, you didn't want to hurt him. Pain was present on Matthew's face as he took in your words and he quickly faked a smile.
"I understand, (y/n)" He said. You opened your mouth to apologize but he had already stood up and walked away.
You didn't hear from Matthew again and it had already been three days. You asked the others if they knew of the Canadian's whereabouts but everyone looked confused and you had to explain to them who you were referring to, then they would all give you answers like "Nope, I haven't seen him, sorry" or "No, but I'm sure he's fine. You'll find him!" you had become more discouraged and worried as the fourth day came until when you had sat at a chair in the meeting room you saw someone sit next to you. You looked up and to your surprise you had found Matthew sitting right next to you.
"Hello, (y/n)" He said with his usual smile, he acted as if nothing had happened as if his disappearance meant nothing.
"Matthew! I've been so worried about you, where were you?" You questioned him. he looked at you puzzled for a moment before giving you a look of realization.
"Oh, sorry. I had gotten sick, I guess I forgot to tell anyone" He replied. you sighed, accepting his response and sat quietly through the entire meeting.
a few days later you were walking with Alfred, you had began to talk to him recently and you had quickly become friends. You had began to develop a little crush on him, even. You didn't plan to tell him because he didn't seem interested but you couldn't stop yourself from smiling when he spent time with you or blush when he looked at you. No one had noticed this, not even Alfred. well, almost no one. Matthew had clearly lied to you when he said he was sick when he had been gone. He had been watching you and noting everything you did, he noticed how you acted around Alfred and he couldn't deny the fact that he was jealous.
"She can't love him, he doesn't even feel the same way for her!" Matthew growled to himself. He was sitting alone in his room thinking about you and about how you were paying so much attention to Alfred.
'At least if she won't love me as anything more than a friend, I should be able to get all of her attention!' The Canadian thought to himself as he thought of a way to keep you to himself. He couldn't let you know, you would hate him if you knew he was behind what he planned to do.
"First, I start with Alfred" Matthew said to himself with a psychotic grin as he stood up and walked out of his room. He shut the door behind him.
You were walking in the hallway leading to the meeting room. You hadn't seen anyone around in hours and you were wondering where they are. You walked into the meeting room and shrieked at the sight before you. Alfred was lying on the ground with pain plastered on his face, his insides spilling out onto the ground as he had several cuts and wounds allowing them to. Your eyes began to swell up with tears as you ran out of the room looking for someone. Anyone who could explain or at least comfort you. You eventually ran into Matthew and in your desperation you threw your arms around him.
"Matthew! Someone killed Alfred!" You cried out. He gave you a look of sorrow but returned your embrace as he comforted you.
"Don't worry, I'm here for you" He said in a soothing tone although you hadn't noticed the look of absolute insanity that would have been obvious to anyone willing to see it. You nodded and sat there crying into your best friends chest for a while not realizing you just gave him more motive to strike again.
A few days later, after you finally began to calm down after Alfred's murder there were more deaths, and every few days a few more would occur. You hadn't even thought of blaming Matthew, you were more concerned on whether he would be taken from you as well while he was ultimately keeping you running to him for comfort.
