Chapter 7

The next day I was walking on air. My life was 99.9% perfect the only .1% thing that was raining on my parade was the Hunger Games. Other than that little thing my life was complete.

I skipped down to the training center's breakfast room and was about to skip in when I heard my name. I know it's not right to ease drop but I couldn't resist. "Lorie I don't know how long I can keep this up. Lily is so trusting and loving. She believes me and never questions me. It fells so wrong to be lying to her." Joe's voice sounded so annoyed, and what was he lying to me about? What was an act and what wasn't? I leaned in to lessen closer. "You have to Joe do you have any idea how many sponsors you guys have? You have to keep pretending you love her even if you don't!" I crouched there, stunned by what Lorie had said. "Fine, but I don't think its right to take advantage of such an innocent person like Lily. What if she found out it would break her heart, and I do not want to make her enemy list." Joe voice was thick with sarcasm. This was not my Joe, my Joe was sweet, kind, handsome, and not cruel, not sarcastic. Was this the real Joe behind the door and mine was just all an act to get sponsors. Suddenly my 99.9% day dropped down to a 0% day, and the Hunger Games were now agene in control of my life.

I must have made a sound because the room had gone quiet and I heard someone get up. The door opened and Joe stepped out. I made another dyeing animal sound and fell onto my back. "Lily are you ok." Joe said but now I saw the fake concern in his black eyes. He reached out and rapped his arm around my wrist. No longer did his touch make me shiver, or fell like I was getting zapped with electricity. I glared at him and jumped up, a fake hurt look crossed his face "Lily what's rouge, are you in pain?" But now I was shaking with the pain of betrayal, sadness, and anger. "Don't touch me" I gasped shaking him off. He reached out a gene "Lily be reasonable what happened to you, what happened to my Lily?"

"What happened! What HAPPENED! You pig, you flat nose, thick headed pig! You lied to me, you lied how could you, I trusted you and you betrayed me you no good singled headed pig!" by the end of my rant I was shrieking. He now looked hurt "Lily-"he said agene reaching for me. "No, don't you Lily me I know what you and Lorie are playing at you both were using me!"I was seeing red now "How can you look at yourself in the morning knowing what you were doing to me! I loved you Joe, I loved you but you were lying to me you lied!" now tears were running down my face. Now he was rely look hurt "Lily" Wow he was good at this, the pain in his voice sounded real. He reached out and whipped away a tear, and stepped closer till we were touching. He leaned in and kissed me a gene this time there was nothing, just skin, that was the last straw. I jumped back slapped him across the face, he just grinned and stepped closer. What is his problem! I screeched in my head, he reached out a gene but this time I didn't hold back. I slammed my fist into his head. He crumpled to the ground and groaned, but I wasn't done with him. Before I knew what I was doing I was on his back smashing his face into the floor over and over a gene. Blood poured out from his nose Joe screamed and pushed me off, anger burned in his black eyes that matched his sole. He sprang up and lunged for me but I was too quick I side stepped him and ran.

I lost track at the 78th flight of stairs I had ran up, tears were pouring from my eyes blinding me. I made a turn hear then there. Nothing made sense, but the horrible pain in my chest. As I made another right turn I slammed into something very soled, and was catapulted by my own momentum over the railing of the stairs. I screamed, and felt myself topple over head first, just as I was about to go into free fall a strong hand grabbed my ankles. I screamed as I was jolted to a stop and hung there upside down, suspended looking down at the seemingly never ending spiraling stairs.

"Please get me up" I whimpered completely petrified by the height. My savoir carefully pined my ankle against the railing with his leg, than he gingerly raped his arms around my wrist and pulled me up. I was trembling so hard, and sobbing that I just wrapped my arms around his pale neck, and pressed myself to him, burring my head in his strong shoulder. I could feel his muscles tensed under my grip. I look up to see deep gray-blue eyes staring at me. He had black, short cut hair, and was about a head taller than me. I quickly step back, realizing that we were very close together, but our hands naturally clasped together. His leathery hand felt like fire in mine.

"I'm Jake, from 12" he said his beautiful eyes are locked on mine.

"Umm, I'm Lily from 4" I said in a dreamy voice.

"Oh" Jake said letting go of my hand "Sorry didn't know."

"What's rouge?"

"You're with Joe aren't you?"

"Was, but just now I discovered that he is a lying, manipulating, not- so- little b*ch who was just using me." I felt my anger rising in me agene, making my cheeks flush. Jake laughed, caching me off guard "What?" I asked felling somewhat exposed.

"Nothing," then he looked down at his wrist "Oh man were going to be late for training come on lets go and you can tell me what happened on the way."

So I told him everything from the point where I was reaped to where we had met. It was so easy talking to Jake, he didn't interrupt or state his opinion he just lessened.

By the time we reached the bottom of the stairs, I was dune my story and a single tear rolled down my face. Jack reached out and whipped it away with his thumb. Agene there was that fire trail where his skin touched mine. I shudder and turned away trying to breathe right.

"Come on." I said pulling him along the corridor.

The training center is a great place to ovoid someone. So many different sections I had lost count at 45. First Jake and I went to the edible plant section, he focused on the edible stuff, while I memorized the toxic plants. Normally most of the plants that they teach you about here are in the hunger games so if there are no toxic frogs, or poisonous snakes of some sort then how am I going to poison my enemies with my blow- gun- necklace that had been restored to me right before the parade.

"Lily? Lily hey come over here there's some very interesting stuff over here." A very unwelcomed voice called, as Jake and I rounded the corner towards the sward section. I tensed and pulled Jake into the sward practice room that had a very large selection of nasty weapons. I raced over and grabbed two curved black -silver knifes, about a foot long each.

"Lily, please we need to talk" said the lying voice full of fake longing.

"If you know what's good for you, you'll turn away and go die in deep dark pit that would look a howl lot like your heart." I said not looking at him at him stepping closer to the dummy in the middle of the room.

"Lily be reasonable, you know I only want you to be happy-"

He started going on and on with the lies but I zoned in on the dummy, imagining it was him. I whipped and whorled, slicing and dicing the fake flesh. I switched from one knife, to two, then just fist. I hit the dummy so hard with one of the knifes, that it got stuck in the medal skeleton. I turn to Jake and almost laughed at his stunned face. "What?" I asked smiling, then looked around and realized that the dummy had been stripped of all limbs and my knife and been impaled about an inch or two into its skull.

"Umm Lily what did the pore dummy do to you."

"Ha nothing it's just Joe every time I'm near him I feel like I'm either going to break down, or that I'm going to kill him." I said simply tossing the remaining knife from hand to hand.

"Oh, no other feeling, like…" He trailed off a strange warm look in his eyes. My stomach flipped and my heart fluttered, wow I'm easy to get I thought bitterly looking away. But this feeling stayed with me unlike the feeling I had with Joe.

"So where do you want to go next?" Jake asked distracting me from my thoughts.

"Umm you choose." I said looking over Jakes shoulder making sure that the liar was gone.

"Let's go to the archery section." Jake said taking my hand, sending fire crawling up my arm, and started leading me down the hall way. I felt the pang off sorrow as the painful cascade of memories came tumbling back. Jake sensing my mood.
