Okay guys I wrote it and don't worry, I double checked to make sure the names were right. LOL! And if you were getting all these alerts about chapter 6, 7, and 8, it's because I went back and CORRECTED those mistakes. Then I deleted that author's note thing so yeah, IT'S ALL GOOD NOW BRO. LOL! That last chapter was a disgrace to mankind. I hope this one is better! XD (Again sorry for that mix up in the other chapter. Silly me.)

OoO

I walk towards the Seam, my hunting bag in hand. I shot two squirrels, picked some strawberries, and of course had my rabbit.

I walk to Mrs. Jenkins house and knock on the door. I always give her my squirrels, I never make her pay though, she needs them more than I do. I look around as I wait for her to come to her door. Mom told me the houses used to look worse, but they rebuilt it after the rebellion and improved them. But despite the obvious changes, everyone still called it "The Seam."

Mrs. Jenkins opened the door and smiled. Her dark brown hair was in a messy bun and Macy, her three year old daughter, stood behind her clinging to her legs. Macy beamed when she saw me and ran straight into my arms. I smiled and picked her up.

Her brown hair was pulled into a pony tail and she was wearing a pink ruffled dress. Her facial features are the same as her mother's. Same nose, same green eyes, same mouth.

"Well you look pretty today!" I exclaim. She giggles and blushes. "You do too!" she says. I laugh as I look down at my hunting boots and jacket. "Yeah, sure." I put her down and reach into my hunting bag. I hand Mrs. Jenkins the squirrels and she thanks me. She stopped trying to give me money years ago when I insisted every day she didn't have to.

I see a phone in her hand and out of curiosity ask "Oh, are you on the phone with someone?" She gives me a small frown.

"Well I just got off of the phone with my sister. She lives in district 3, the district I used to live in." she says. I already know this but don't do anything but nod. "Well she just called and told me she's pregnant."

"That's good news! ...Right?" I ask still seeing the frown on her face.

"Yes, very good news. But she wants me to come visit her with the rest of the family tomorrow. And there's simply no way to make it over there without going over night. And Macy here has very bad motion sickness, so she can't ride on the train. And I just simply can't leave her here alone…"

"Oh, I could watch her!" I say smiling. It's true. She's so adorable and nice, she'd be no trouble at all to watch. And who knows, she'll probably help me keep my mind off of other things.

"No, I couldn't possibly ask you to do that!" she says. I pick up Macy again.

"Yes, but this time it's different. I volunteered to watch her. That's two very different things.

"I don't know…" she says looking from me to Macy. "Pwease momma! Let me stay with Rosey!" She uses her nickname for me and I grin. She pouts out her lower lip and a grin and do the same thing. "Please?" I say fighting off a grin.

"Fine, fine." I laugh as Macy screams in excitement. Mrs. Jenkins smiles and says "I'll go get her things." I giggle as Macy crawls from my arms and skips after her mother declaring she bring her teddy bear.

They come out a few minutes later and Macy of course has her teddy bear. I didn't expect anything else. Mrs. Jenkins hands me her small backpack with her clothes and thanks me again. She kisses her daughter on the head and says "Be good." Macy nods her head and waves goodbye as we walk away. "Bye momma!" she screams.

I let her crawl on my back so her legs are wrapped around my waist and her arms around my neck. She loves these piggy back rides. She screams in delight as I race towards my house.

"Wait Rosey! My teddy bear dropped! She screams. I skid to a stop and let her crawl of my back. I can see my house just about ten yards away. She races towards the bear and I see it before she does. "STOP!" I cry. But it's too late. She trips over the rock and falls face down, putting her arms out in front of her. I close my eyes but quickly open them when I hear her sob.

"It's okay, I'm coming!" I say trying to be calm. I run to her and bend down. She's sitting upright now and holding her knee. I take her hands off and look at her knee. Her knee is scrapped badly, the skin is definitely broken. There's a little blood on her knee and I see her elbows are the same way. She's screaming and crying at the same time, what a little kid when they get hurt.

I pick her up and she wraps her arms around my neck. "I know it hurts. It'll be okay. I'll take you to uncle Pete and he'll get you cleaned up." I pick up her bear and walk towards my house. Rose hasn't stopped crying and I'm afraid the whole neighborhood will hear.

"Macy you gotta calm down, okay?" She stops screaming and just sobs between breaths. "Here hold teddy." I say and she tucks it between us and cries into my shoulder. I remember when I was little the same thing happened to me. I just wasn't as calm. I screamed my lungs out until Caleb, who was two, started crying. Then I managed to be quiet.

I walk past the Hawthorne's house and see all of them inside. I notice a woman, the dad, Roy, and a little boy all sitting there talking about something. They notice me walking and I pretend I didn't see them. The look Roy gives me makes me laugh. He probably thinks Macy's mine. That makes me laugh harder. I'm only sixteen!

"Why are you laughing?" Macy says still crying. Crap.

"Because…when you laugh it makes you feel better. Try to laugh." I say trying to cover up my laughing. Macy doesn't so I start tickling her. She screams and giggles. I stop and she's still giggling.

"See! Doesn't it make you feel better?" I ask. She nods her head and has stopped her crying. I carry her up the stairs and open the door. I walk towards the kitchen and Macy yells "UNCLE PETE COME HERE!" I swear, she'll make it sound like she just broke her legs when she describes what happens. I set her on the counter next to the sink and she sits her bear the same way. I start to run some water when suddenly I stiffen.

I'm in a lake. I look up and see mom jump in and swim towards me. I try to get away but I can't move, I'm paralyzed. She comes to me and I try to scream, but before I can she pushes me under the water. I try to get away from her but her hands are locked on my shoulders. I try to swim up but when I do she pushes me farther down. I close my eyes. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die.

I open my eyes and gasp, taking in air. I look around and see dad's hands on my shoulders. "No!" I scream. I pull away, he's going to push me under like mom did. I close my eyes tight and reach my hand out to the side. It hits something hard and my eyes shoot open.

I'm in my kitchen. I see dad standing in front of me. I look down, there's no water. I see Macy on the counter looking at me strange. I look at dad again, his eyes wide. "What happened?"

"It was…It was just a….you know." I say taking big breaths. I find my way to the table and sit down. It wasn't real. It was all an illusion. Dad walks toward me but I stop him. "No, help Macy." He hesitates but turns back to her asking her questions about what happened to her knees and elbows.

I put my head in my hands and sit there for a moment, and let the tears stream down my face.

OoO
