thank you so much, NightAngel27, for reviewing ,i'm going to try to hurry up. ;)
I approach the door slowly, the fact that it might be a peacekeeper is terrifiying. I grasp the door knob, my hands sweaty. 'maybe they have come for me, wanting to take me away because they saw my weapon.' i think. i open the door, when i look outside there is no one to be found. suddenly, someone wraps their arms around me, and as i'm about to yell help they cover my mouth with their hand and closes the door. when i look up to see who it is, it is only my boyfriend, zack.
"what the hell motherfucker you scared the living hell out of me!" i yell.
"well, i'm sorry i just wanted to see you, now, can i at least have a good morning kiss"he says.
"oh, hell no" i reply.
just then Will comes through the bedroom door and says, " what's wrong johanna? who was it at the door?" by the looks of it he might of asumed it was a peacekeeper too. i nod my head in the direction of zack, who is just standing there looking quite amused. Will nods, understanding it was him only.
"you should get out now, you know."i tell zack.
"ok, ok i'm leaving now, bye." he says,
"bye." both me and Will say thogether.
"you should go wake up the kids and get them ready for school."i tell Will.
while he gets the kids ready, i make tea for us. since te reapings are only tommorow, they haven't been paying me much at my lumber jack job. probably only five coins i'll recieve today and of course, that isn't enough to feed a whole family of five including me.
by the time the tea is finished Will and the kids are standing there, fresh and clean ready for school. i give each of them a cup of tea and grab myself one to. We all sit there, quietly, gratefully drinking our tea in silence, or as we call it peace. then after were finished, i grab a cup of tea and take to the bedroom for my would think that her as being the mother of the house she would be in charge. but, i have been in charge of the house since i was 9 years old. my mother couldn't take charge because of her sickness. my father on the othr hand didn't want any thing to do with us. he choose liquor and women over us. he would always get the women who didn't give a crap who touched them and force them on sexual intercourse. Of course, him being like that won't ever lead up to woody and joy knowing who there real father is.
i gently shake my mother's shoulder, trying to wake her up. "mom, mom wake up" i tell her. she opens her eyes and then smiles seeing that it is only me. i hand her the cup of tea and she drinks from it gracefully.
"here mom, take your pills"i tell her.
"thank you, honey now go, go you don't want to be late." she tells me.
"ok, ok bye" i reply.
as me and the kids are walking to school we see many people look at us strangely. well,Of course everyone knows me and Will, Woody and, Joy too. they know us as the kids of Roger Mason. the person who choose alcohol over his children and other women over his own wife. when were at the school i bid the kids goodbye and tell them to hurry up or they'll be late.
School is over in a flash and i can't help but to be happy because i never liked school. it isn't going to turn us into something big some day so why waste our time. But, it's mandatory so we have to go.
while were walking back from school Will asks me something i would never expect him to say. something that might even provoke me to slap himstraight in the face. his words would never, ever be allowed to come out of anyone's mouth in my family.
he had asked me "Johanna, what if i get picked for this year of the reapings"
No, no. That was my final answer no he woudn't go in the hunger games. that wasn't happening. not to sweet, pure Will. NO.
why would he even think that? they would have to kill me in order to take him and beautify him for those bloody ass games. if you thought about it it's kid of ironic, because at this age of your life , 15, is where you worry more whether you are going to be picked or not. But, then he asks me one that really gets me worried.
"Johanna, what if you get picked."
