Hello lovelies! It's Elizthewiz back in action! XD Alright, if you have been with following me since I first started writing, you may have remembered my first story Give Me Hope. One day I was looking back on my list of stories thinking about my next story that I wanted to do when I happend to glance and saw Give Me Hope. I looked over the story and realized that from the time I started writing to about now, I really sucked at writing that first story. I mean gradually my writing skills have changed for the better but I'm not satisfied with how it came out. First, people actually loved that story and I ended up abandoning it on accident and I felt really bad looking at leaving it so I decided this. I was going to write a remake of it. So here I am, writing a much better version of this story about a year later.

If you just have started reading my stories, I encourage you not to read the original Give Me Hope but to read this one because it will be a lot better.

So, I've decided that since it will be super easy to rewrite these chapters, that I will update once a week and update two chapters on that certain day. So not only will you have just one update, in a day but you'll also have two updates in a day. So that means back-to-back chapters! I'm really excited to rewrite this story, I had a lot of ideas for this story just at the time I couldn't express my ideas through my writing so here I am doing it again. I hope you all enjoy the rewrite of Give Me Hope :)

I was at home alone. Everyone in my family was busy today. Mom was visiting the mayor, Dad was at his Bakery, and Jake, my brother, was at soccer practice. I enjoy being alone. It gives me a sense of freedom to do whatever I want in the house.

My name is Jasmine Hope Mellark. I live in District 12. Everyone knows who I am; I'm the daughter of two famous victors and the leaders of the rebellion. I'm proud to have parents that took part in ending The Hunger Games. They ended the worse part of the world and made it better. But there is always that one person to ruin everything.

Gale Hawthrone used to be my Mother's bestfriend, until he accidentally killed my aunt Primrose Everdeen. My Mother resented him for that, seeing as Prim was the only one to give her joy in life. This made Gale an angry person. He moved to District 2 to work in there to run away from the lost hope of never seeing my mother again. But then he changed his mind a few years later. By that time, my Mom and Dad had already gotten married and had me. Gale moved back to District 12 hoping to win her over. He was very surprised when my Mom came out with me in her arms. The fact that she moved on never clicked in Gale's brain. He tried to convince her to run away with him, but my Mother refused. She loved my father, not him.

Distracting me from my thoughts, I hear my phone ringing. I look at it and see it's my best friend Lexi calling me. I answer it quickly.

"Hey, Lexi,"

"Can I come over?" She asks. "I'm really bored, and we have homework to work on anyway," Her nerdy side leeks through.

"Yea! No one's at home but me anyway," I tell her

"Awesome, I'm coming over right now!" She says then hangs up the phone.

I smile to myself. Maybe I won't be alone today, but atleast I'll be with my best friend.

My best friend, Alexis "Lexi" Robinson has been my best friend since kindergarten. Lexi is the most daring, ambitious person I've ever known. She's been there for me everyday since we've met when we were six.

We have another friend, Jamie but lately she's been sucked into the popular crowd. I don't care who Jamie is friends with but I don't like the way the head of the popular crowd, Melissa, seems to hold a control over her. Jamie's the sweet girl in our group. She always tries to be the people pleaser. That's why Melissa has claimed her into her own group. It's sad to watch but I can't do much about the situation. I'm too timid to speak up about much. That's Lexi's job to go around and give people a piece of her mind.

I was never the outgoing type, if anything I'm rather reserved. I'm prone to panic attacks because of Gale's antics and just peer pressure. If I have really bad ones, I end up not speaking for days. It's really strange to deal with, but I haven't been having any since I was 13.

I can't handle how my life works, but I know that I just have to live through it. After all, my Mom was a fighter, and so am I.

This is a short chapter, but originally it was very very short so I kinda expanded it to explain about her friendships and some of the back history with Gale. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, make sure to Review telling me your thoughts, and PM if you have any questions, comments or concerns. I will update the next chapter in a couple of minutes after I finish writing the author's note. So see you guys later :)
