District Eleven

Jadee was desperate to get some food.

In the Capitol, the abundance of food was known for much of it, while the districts were known for lack of it. She was starving and clinging at any possibilities of food to come by, to "grab them by the ***", like an old president said once. She didn't know what he had meant while saying that, but it sounded pretty damn funny, so she decided to copy it.

The overseer of the orphanage hadn´t liked that, but luckily for her, she was pretty damn smart and escaped the grasp of his hands.

Jacob hadn´t been that lucky. He had been in the middle of the race between her and Miller Willows, the thief and the police, the cat and the mouse. It had lasted long enough for Willows to find Jacob during one of his private moments with his boyfriend Damien Acacia, and had given a big slap all over the place. Of course, they had denounced the owner of the orphanage, but nobody did a thing. Nobody liked the orphans until they were working in the fields, and it was only because then they were considered useful for other people, for the peacekeepers, for the Capitol and for the rest of the District and Panem. Orphans only were useful when they were producing food or objects for far luckier people, people with money, but more importantly, people with family, people with friends, people with someone to love.

At least she had Jacob with her. Since both of them were found in the fields one day when he was two and when she was a baby, they had being tight as blood and united like grapes of the same branch. And papers too, quite literally, since they had been registered as blood brothers in the Justice Building, which would have served if someone, if someone just had wanted to adopt them at some point in their goddamn lives.

Something that didn´t happen. It was mainly her fault to begin with, since she hadn´t been the most civilized and proper girl for the standard, or didn´t know she had to act when people came to see children with the prospect of adopting them, even knew what acting meant at the time. She had Jacob, and she had a pretty cool bed there in her opinion, she didn´t know she would want anything else at the moment.

But she did, because when she saw other people with their parents or tutors, be it night or day, elderly or younger, she knew that what other people had is what she truly wanted, what she truly desired.

She remembers one time, when she didn´t know how to act or to do when someone who is an

adult came to see them, and they immediately wanted Jacob to be their new son. The women were so happy to have their chance of having a family like everyone else did, so damn happy.

Except Jacob wanted to take her with them, but they didn´t want her. They were repulsed by her, they thought she was useless, a piece of garbage laying around decomposing itself, waiting for someone to throw to the ocean, only for her to do what it does, damage others.

But Jacob stood alongside her, and wanted her to come with him to their possible new home, to be everything they needed for each other.

In response the women adopted another kid, but it didn´t matter. Because that that showed her something, something she will remember till the day she dies.

No gets between her and her brother. No one

Jacob was happy where he was.

Sure, his parents weren't there as well, but at least he got to spend with his Damien. It was something that didn´t always happen, so he got to be thankful for that. He liked being with him, kissing him and getting to cuddle with him. He never thought he would have anyone to do that, bar Jadee when one of them was upset and they had to support one another to keep themselves together. It was something hard to do, since they had no one but themselves at the moment, but he now had Damien. He had someone who loved him, even if he didn´t always show it. Yeah, he was a bit aloof and a little bit too enigmatic with his way of thinking and doing things, but it was just his way of living due to how he was raised, since he was rich but also albino, two things that aren´t seen in a good manner in the outer districts, especially in a district like District Eleven. He is always trying to be better and to improve, and when it doesn´t work he lashes out at himself for not being good enough.

But he is there for him; he is there when he feels alone in his riches or when he doesn't have anyone to share his time with. He is there for when one of their family members is in great danger, and they all want to start crying in the inside, but he knows he can´t do that. He knows he has to be strong, he knows has to be it for everyone else, their savior.

That´s why he loves him so much, because he is someone he can rely on. And of course, if they ever get married, he and Jadee will be filled with riches till the end of their lives, since they seem to be infinite and powerless towards expanding themselves.

Though, sometimes it seemed like Pepper and Robyn Acacia didn´t like that his son was "getting around" with one of the orphans of the district. They made passive-aggressive comments that Jacob had come to understand and rebut with the help of Damien.

He was his teacher in so many ways, and he was glad to have one, so he didn´t end up disoriented like Jadee was. That didn´t mean he didn´t love his sister, no. She was his world, and he wanted to protect her at all costs, but she seems she has already grown up so fast, so quickly. It seems like yesterday was the day where both of them where still infants, and they were inseparable.

What happens is that he is afraid of ending up like her. She is hell of a woman, that´s for sure, but she also doens´t have anyone but Jacob, and it seems she is too dependent on him to continue living. He thinks that if he were to disappear for some reason, Jadee would probably end her life pretty damn quickly or at least try to escape the district.

That´s why he needs Damien. He needs other people in his life to help him move on for the fact that his past is a mystery, and that he never had any parents, to make him forget that if he were to die barely anyone would miss him. He needs to stop thinking about that, he needs to put his mind somewhere else, but he doens´t know where.

But right now, he better enjoy his meal with his boyfriend. He better focus on the present rather than the past or the future.

That way, everything would be okay.
