hi, sorry it's been soooo long, i'm trying to start a new story, and i'm doing some betaing, so ya my apologies, tough i really like this chapter!
CHAPTER 11
"Because she came here with me" those word, those 6 words, when said alone mean nothing, but when put together they can change the world, start a rebellion, bring down the capitol, start a new brighter Panem an….. oh who am I kidding, it's some teenager with a crush, who's about to die, nothing will happen and nothing will change district twelve will lose like they always do, one of the bruiting, sexy, terrifying or just plain evil careers will win, and the cycle will repeat for years to come, until I can change it.
It's the sad truth of life in our country, no, one lovesick boy, and determined, fiery girl can not change 73 ears of torture an cruelty, right?
I was so absorbed in my own thoughts I missed ceaser signing off, "Angelica, c'mon I'll walk you back to your room" offers Ben smiling beautifully
"oh no, no need to trouble yourself, I have to be on duty outside of her quarters anyway, I can walk her back" offers Jackson politely.
"um, excuse me, I believe I offered first" pipes up Ben, trying to keep the edge out of his voice
"yes, but It would be much more convenient for me to escort her safely back" says Jackson smiling, but punching the word safely
"oh, so your saying I can't protect her" he accuses loudly,
"no, I'm not saying that at all, I'm thinking it, but, I'm not saying it" says Jackson with a small grin
"oh well, aren't you funny, unfortunately funny doesn't get anyone, anywhere!" shouts Ben, I don't believe this I-I've never seen him act like this, he's getting a little bitter.
"ok, boys calm down, it's fine I can get to my room just fine by myself" I say starting out the door as I bump into ceaser
"angelica, you can't go alone" they say in unison
"she's not, I'll escort her back to her room, and obviously I, ceaser the magnificent will ensure her safety" he says with a wink, and the boys back off, allowing ceaser to walk me back, though I'm sure they'll catch up with me later.
I ride back to my quarters with ceaser giving me advice about the two boys, "well you do have a tuff decision on your hands I mean jackson has that tall dark and handsome thing going on, but ben's got those dreamy blue eyes and tousled blonde hair, like the golden boy" says ceaser enthusiastically, I can't help but giggle at is sentiments.
"you know they are more than just they're looks" I say laughing as the limo pulls up to the mansion.
"WHAT! Who are you and what have you done with angelica" he demands laughing as we walk to my room
"well, thanks for the advice ceaser I just wish It was that easy, but as William shakespear once said "the course of true love never did run smooth" I sigh
" who the heck is that, oh my angelica, you are far to pretty to be reading so much" he says with a laugh "but anyway, I'd go with Jackson, he has a cute butt" says ceaser with a sly grin as he walk out the door, okay more than I needed to know, I mean I knew ceaser was…well that way, but I didn't know he enjoyed staring at teenagers butts!
I can't help but laugh, he's like the father I never had…. Well the father I wish I never had. I close the door behind myself and collapse on my bed.
Only a few minuets later I hear the rap of knuckles on my door, "come in" I say softly wondering who it could possibly be!
"hi it's us" whispers Jackson and Ben in unison
"oh, hi" I say with slightly more attitude than necessary, but I kind of feel they deserve it.
"please don't be mad, we came to apologize" says Ben, I just turn away from them going back to the sketch I keep hidden under my pillow just starting to darken the shading on the silky black wings of the delicate mockingjay on the page "please angelica, we're really sorry" says Jackson, and they both give me those huge puppy dog eyes, and I feel my heart melt.
"no fair" I giggle jumping off the bed, I don't believe I actually thought I could stay mad at them!
"so you forgive us?" they ask together, still keeping the puppy dog eyes, wow they sure know how to manipulate a girl
"yes, I forgive you, but only on one condition, you two have to stop fighting!" I say authoritatively "because if you can't get along then I'm leaving" I threaten
"okay, we can handle that" says Jackson smiling sweetly at me
"well I know I can, but I'm not sure he can handle it" says Ben slightly bitterly, glaring at Jackson, which he promptly returns with a scowl of his own.
"now boys can we play nice, or do I have to separate you" I ask treating them like the 5 year olds they're behaving as.
"no, we'll be good" they say together, and then ben has to go because only Jackson is supposed to e here so when the door shuts I'm left alone with Jackson, he turns to me and smiles
"so, you feel like I do about that bread guy?" he asks me, though I can tell he really doesn't like small talk about the hunger games.
"I feel like I don't want to talk about the hunger games, or my father or Ben or anything else, but us" I say staring into is beautiful eyes
"what do you mean" he asks a little to innocently
"I just want to talk about something…..different" I say slowly, contemplating each word before it exits my mouth.
okay, so i didn't really tell you her choice exactly, because i honestly can't decide! it's sooooo hard, guys please help me! i have an almost even number of choices!
