I was lead into a room in this building where the peacekeepers were held.

This was the goodbye room. As soon as I sat down Jez and my mother came running in.

Jez was in hysterics, so I pulled her onto my lap to try to calm her down

"Courtney! You have to win this Courtney, you have to!! What will we do without you? You have to promise me you'll try, and win!!! Please Courtney you need to!"

I sighed letting her get all of the sadness out of her system, while rubbing her back in a soothing manner.

"I promise you I will try, Jezebel, but if anything does happen to me Justin will help you. Never forget that he will help you."

I then gave my mom a cold look.

"You can't abandon her again. You have to promise me that you'll be there, unlike last time."

She seemed hurt by my tone of voice and accusations, but she kind of deserved it.

When my dad died, she stopped…life. She didn't sing anymore, smile anymore, she completely ignored us. It was as if her soul had been taken away, when my dad left.

I held great resentment against her for that because she never was entirely there. She got better, but it wasn't the same. I had had to take on the mom persona when I was so young.

"I promise, Courtney"

"Good"

That was when a peacekeeper told me that our time was up. The next to enter the room was Justin.

"Courtney!" He ran up to me and gave me a huge hug. I returned it without hesitation. I knew this would be one of the last times I would ever see him. Surviving the games wasn't easy, so I knew my promise to Jez would prove invalid.

"You know you do have a shot at winning this" he whispered in my ear.

"You're strong, and that's what will keep you alive"

"Justin, we both know I won't make it. Look at the facts our only winner was Haymitch"

"Exactly. If he can do it so can you"

" Justin, I need you to promise me something."

"Anything, Courtney"

"Please, please take care of my family for me"

"Of course, Courtney. Will you do me one favor in return?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"This"

At this point he was leaning in. Realization hit me when his nose almost bumped against mine.

He was going to kiss me.


What do you think of them apples? Should Courtney let Justin kiss her? Or not?? You decide! Review please!
