America fell in love with Marilyn from the moment he met her. However, he knew he could never be with her so he never told her. Instead they were just friends -withbenefits-. On the day of her death America's heart shattered. It was his first real heart break. Years later, Feliciano who had heard about the death read a news article that talked about Marilyn's funeral and made a sculpture resembling as close as possible to how Marilyn would have looked like in her coffin and gave it to America on Marilyn's " death anniversary"
