Chapter one: Hurt

As I arrive at the door I reach for the handle, turn the knob, and open the door to reveal 'the jar' tipping over and crashing upon the ground. Slowly it topples over to hit the floor hard scattering pieces to expose the hidden keepings, the secrets. The jar of my secrets, of my love secrets, his now shown.

There I stood in the door way of the tattered building(our place), mouth wide open, tears dripping from my face. He, the one so dear and close to me, kissing another. How, how could he do this to me. In a flash of an instant, out of nowhere the word, " I HATE you" pour from my mouth leaving him and That women in pure shock. Quick as possible I turn around and run, run away from my new found enemy. But, it doesn't end there because he chases me yelling "Its not what it looks like." Yes, yes it is what it looks like, what else could it be. Running faster I head for my hideout, my thinking place, the only place I can be alone. Once there I cry, cry to myself, blocking out Him, Her, everyone, everything. He broke my heart then turned around and stomped on it by lying.

I turn on the small TV I have in my hideout to see The Report on announcing the Selection is coming up. Great! This is the perfect thing; sign - up, get in, win. If I do this I will never have to see Aspen again.

Chapter two: Out of the Box

The week passed slowly. I had to see Aspen often. Why, because he wanted to explain, explain what, it was over.

Not soon enough the sign-up forms came. Surprising my family, mom didn't have to beg and try to convince me to fill it out.

The second the form was in my hand I headed to work on it in my room. I read through, thought over, and filled out the form, I was done in twenty minutes max.

I ran down the stairs, grabbed something small to chew on and raced out the door. Today was the day we turned in our forms. I dressed extra nice for this, well as nice as I could conjure up. As soon as I got there I noticed the super long line, 'uhhhhhh waiting time.'

Stomping my foot, waiting, thoughts rambled through my head. 'No, I cant do this and betray Aspen,' tears coming to flood my eyes, 'Wait he's dead to me, He betrayed Me, I Have to do this.' With that the tears poured out of my eyes messing the little makeup I had on. Once I finished crying another thought came to my mind, 'how can I get to the castle/be in the Selection, let alone win I'm a five…No I have to, I will, my family needs this, I need this, Aspen deserves this.'

Sorry it was all very short. Please review and if u guys like it then I'll post the third chapter very soon. Thanks!
