Chapter 10

Johanna came home just as I was finishing the District 12 article. She came in my room and sat on my bed.

"Hey Aunt Johanna"I said looking up

"Hey you excited about the new baby?"

"Yea I guess"

"Well you don't sound excited"

I shrug. "I am happy, I guess I just don't show it."

"I know the feeling kid."

"Do you think that Gale will leave us alone?"I ask

"I don't know, maybe one day he will find a way to move on"

We sit in silence for a few minutes. I don't think I'm going to tell anyone that he chased me.

"Did you know when I get really scared, I can't speak for days?"I ask

"Your mom told me about that. How long has it been since that last happened?"

"When I was 9, my friends pulled this horrible prank on me and I scared me really really badly"

"I wonder why that happens to you"she says

"Me too"

Johanna walked back downstairs to talk to mom and I stayed up here thinking. I do wonder why I can't talk when I'm really really scared. Today when Gale chased me I was was scared but not really scared, I was more worried then scared. I'll get over it at some point. I get out of bed and walk downstairs. I see that Jake is home watching tv in the living room.

"Hey bird brain''I tell Jake sitting next to him

"Well thats really nice"he says

"Who said I'm nice?"I said smiling

"Everyone!"he say looking at the tv

I roll my eyes. I get up and tell my mom that I'm going out real quick. Do you think that I'm really going out? I slowly walked to the backyard and opened the circle and closed it behind me. I climbed up the ladder and slowly crawled through the vents and looked into the kitchen. My mom and Johanna were talking.

"I think Jasmine needs to not run into Gale because one day Gale is going to scare her and she might not speak for a while"I hear my mom say

"Yes we should but how? Gale is going to keep coming anyway!"

"We need to figure out some is getting serious I don't want him to hurt my family!"

"Look calm down. We are going to find away to get him to leave us alone"Johanna said calmly

My mom started to cry. I feel bad for her and Johanna. Johanna has to deal with a crying pregnant lady and My mom has pregnant issues or whatever and she is scared that Gale is going to do something to us. Great, just great.
