Sorry I haven't updated recently, I've had a lot of school work, but now I am on holidays and should be able to update more frequently.
Here's the latest chapter, I was going to split it but I think it works better as one. So it's a long one :)
Enjoy :D
Freesia POV
Daisy. Lane. Daisy frigging Lane. Tonight is the night Adam has been constantly reminding me of. Tonight is the night I will figure out his fixation with Daisy and the significance of her party. I'm in my bedroom doing my makeup. Tonight is the night I am also taking Jake out, and I guess it could be considered a date. Right? Oh I gave up a while ago trying to even figure out my relationship with him. I'm just going along with it until it is finally clear in my mind. Which may be never. Lily wanders into my bedroom wearing a deep blue dress that I think was bought in the Capitol. It's striking enough anyway. Her hair is dead straight, looking more like mine usually does obviously save the color difference.
"Do you want me to do you hair?" She asks. Lily has clever fingers and can do magnificent things with my hair.
"Yeah, sure. I was thinking all up?" I ask her gesturing to my dress hanging by the mirror. Also a product of the Capitol, actually something that Effie Trinket gave me a while ago as a present. We don't see Effie much but we've visited the Capitol a few times and my parents always felt obliged to meet with her. The dress is silver and shimmers when I move. Backless but with a high neckline, and stops an inch or so above my knee. Thank god, it's what the Capitol people would consider 'simple', so it's not grotesque or crazy. But in District 12 it is beautiful. Lily's hands take my hair and guide it up into an elegant twist leaving a few waves on my face.
"Do you reckon Adam will reveal his master plan tonight Lil?" I ask, already knowing he hadn't told her anything.
"Oh I suppose. I just learn to ignore his antics until he finally decides to tell me." She says smiling. They really fit together; Adam and Lil. "Come on, let's go." She says. I quickly slip into the dress and my high heels. Really high heels, a more daring purchase from the Capitol.
Our parents are waiting downstairs for us. It had taken a lot of convincing on our part to persuade them to let us go. The Peacekeeper event still fresh in their minds. I don't think dad likes seeing us in our dresses with so much skin exposed but mum beams at us.
"The boys are walking you down there?" She asks. As if on cue there's a knock on the door. There stand Adam and Jake, in jeans, jackets and collared shirts. They smile appreciatively. How much simpler it is to be a guy. We say goodbye and head down the street with them towards Daisy Lane's. My hand in Jake's, Lily's in Adam's.
Daisy Lane has an expensive house. That's clear the minute you walk in. She has also has a lot of friends. Though of course I know them all. It's Jake they do not know. And I made the mistake of entering hand in hand with him on our arrival so naturally everyone saw and now everyone is curious of my new 'boyfriend'. Whatever.
"Freesia!" A friend from school named Adeline walks over, handing me a drink. "You look amazing! You even outdo Daisy. She won't be happy."
"You can thank the Capitol for that." I say smiling, taking a sip. Yes, alcohol. I make a reminder to myself to not drink too much. A couple more people wave and call out to me as I talk to Adeline. And then I remember something Jake said when we first met. I had a bunch of friends. But none that really made a huge impression you know? And this is it. These are all my friends from school, the people I sit and joke with at lunchtimes but I rarely think of them outside of school. I don't miss them. How strange. I realize Adeline is looking at me expectantly and I glance at Jake.
"Oh Adeline, this is Jake Hawthorne. He just moved here." She gives him a flirtatious smile, and while I know she's like that with a lot of guys, it bothers me. She saunters off soon after, leaving me with Jake. He gives me a knowing look and nudges my elbow with a smirk.
"What?" I try to think of something I did wrong.
"You didn't look very happy with Adeline over there." He says slyly, jerking his head to where she is now. He squeezes my hand and I blush.
"Shut up." I mumble trying to hide my smile. I take my hand out of his and lead him over to more people as he laughs at me. I introduce him to Kin, a guy named Pat, and Hollie, who is actually a good friend of mine. A real one, unlike Adeline. Though soon the girls are swarming, looks like they're going for the tall, dark and handsome. And of course soon the alcohol is raging. I sigh, taking a sip from a new drink.
I leave Jake to chat with some others and I plan to hunt down Adam. I spot Lily alone, so of course many of the guys ogle her, and I just laugh. Okay he's not with Lily…eventually I find him chatting with some guy that I think is in my English class. Anyway, unimportant. I give the guy my best smile, grabbing Adam's hand and tugging him away.
"In a hurry?" He asks smirking, playfully slinging an arm around my waist. I glare at him. We always do this, be intimate even though we've never dated. It's more of a joke than anything since everyone always claims I'm stealing him from Lily. Anyway, it's just Adam, my best friend. Between the three of us we know where we all stand.
I focus back on the party. "Okay, so I'm here with someone. Now you can spill you ultra secret plan." My tone doesn't give him a chance to argue and anyway, he promised.
"Well I dunno…I don't see this certain someone at the moment." I glare at him fiercely. "Fine." He relents, punching me in the arm. "Come upstairs with me then." He pulls my hand and starts towing me away. I'm a bit startled.
"Adam what are you doing?" I hiss. Couples go upstairs to make out and what not. Not Adam and me.
"Trust me, okay?" And I have to. He's my oldest friend and I know I'm about to find out whatever he's been planning. He leads me into a room. "Here." I appraise the room. It's a study in the upstairs of Daisy's house. Books line bookshelves and paper scatters the desk. I study Adam carefully trying to ascertain whether or not he is drunk because this room means nothing to me. He looks sober though. Adam never really drinks anyway.
"Adam, you're a bit too cryptic even for me right now." He laughs and heads to the desk.
"Have you not realized that Daisy's father is the Mayor of District 12? Why else would they live in a house as nice as this?" He asks me raising his eyebrows. My eyes go wide. I scold myself for not making the connection, because I did know that once. I'm distracted by Adam ciphering through the belongings on the desk.
"Adam! That's not our stuff!" I hiss striding over to him and hitting his hands. He sighs, standing up straight and looking at me.
"Freesia, you want to know why I brought you here?" I glare but nod my head. "Well this is it. Daisy's father is the mayor of the district; he is going to have a lot of information on the rebellion. Isn't that what you've been trying to find out? Also he is not here, I already asked Daisy. Even better. " He grins proudly.
How did I not realize this? Of course, this is the reason! Why else would Adam go on about it? My glare shifts to a grin as I admire is insight. He really does think everything through. Something else nags at my mind though.
"Wait, if this is your whole reason, then why was it so important that I bring a date?" I ask. My eyes narrowed, arms crossed.
He smiles a little. "Oh that didn't have anything to do with the plan. I just wanted to mess with you so you'd ask out Jake." He's laughing and my stomach drops. Is he joking?
"What?" I shriek, throwing a piece of paper at him. "Adam! I can't believe you!"
He just laughs and walks over to hug me. "Worked though didn't it?" He asks, his hair, flopping in his eyes. "You asked him!" He sings in a fake high pitched voice that reminds me very much of Effie Trinket.
"You're unbelievable." I say shaking my head. I try to turn back to the desk but he grabs me back playfully. I roll my eyes at him.
"You love me." He grins arrogantly.
"You're so dead." The words don't come from my mouth. I whip my head around to see Daisy Lane standing in the doorway arms crossed, her body leaning against the doorframe. She glares at me. Adam's gone paper white and starts stumbling over his words. Obviously not working so I step in and play it cool.
"Daisy!" I grin, sauntering over to her. I'm a little taller in my monster heels. She's not impressed.
"Oh give up Free. You've already upstaged me tonight." What an idiot. I didn't sit in my room tonight planning how to look better than her. I've never liked Daisy particularly and come to think of it, I was even invited to this party. She seems to be thinking just that. "What are you doing?"
I decide to be frank with her. "We're looking for information on the rebellion, what else Daisy?"
She laughs quietely, staring at me spitefully. "I could have figured that out, I was reffering to Adam over here, I didn't know you and Lily shared." It takes me a while to place her comment. Trying to understand what spurred it after I figured out that she must've seen us hugging and Adam saying I love him. I turn on her, absolutely enraged.
"Are you kidding me Daisy? With all the guys you go-"
"Oh back off Freesia this is my house." She waves me away impatiently.
"Adam does not cheat with me." I say heatedly, glaring at her with all my might.
"Whatever." She says, unconvinced. "Now with the rebellion, I don't really blame you for snooping around in my dad's things. I'm curious too. But I have something that might be of far more importance than my dad's paperwork." I regard her carefully sensing a trap.
"And what is that?" Adam asks curiously stepping forward so he is in line with me. Daisy smiles slightly.
"You're not the only ones who are looking into the rebellion. And you aren't the only ones who can find information." She says vaguely, attempting to seize our curiosity. I still find myself wary. "Down on Miner's Main soon, in that warehouse there's a meeting. I know a few select people attending." I worry at that, because Miner's Main is the dodgiest part of the district and the 'warehouse' is no good. "This is where we get the information." She continues. "There are people there that have access to certain things, and I'm sure the Mockingjay's daughters would be of great asset. Not to mention, your actual role in the rebellion." What the hell does that mean? Our role in the rebellion? Does she know something we don't?
"This is all off the books, you know?" She continues. "Because if the Peacekeeper's found out we're all screwed. But if you're sourcing out information on the rebellion, I'd be there." She stares us down for a second before turning to the door. "Oh and one more thing." She says. "Bring your boyfriend Freesia, and Lily, Adam. There'll be a fair bit of fun there as well. Unless of course you'd prefer Adam. I wouldn't blame you." She winks and saunters off back towards the party.
"You have to be kidding me…" I mumble shaking my head. I turn towards Adam and am frightened to see conflict on his face. "You're not actually considering this are you?" I ask, incredulously.
His face scrunches in confusion. "Well…I mean isn't this what we have been waiting for? This could have the answers, more information. And she did say something about you and Lily." His raging curiosity is similar to my own but I just can't bring myself to trust Daisy. We've never been close, but we've never been on bad terms. Until tonight I guess.
"Adam this is some perverted sex meeting that Daisy Lane has told us about, not to mention on Miner's Main in that warehouse. How dodgy could you get?" This spells out bad to me.
He frowns, obviously not believing me. "Well let's keep looking. I'm guessing Daisy doesn't care." He says, dodging my question. I give in grudgingly and we continue sifting through the desk. I sort through a lot of irrelevant papers trying not to move too much so it won't be obvious someone's raided it.
"Freesia." Adam says quietly, staring at a paper in his hands. I notice he used my full name which means he must be serious.
"What?" I ask, trying to have a look. He flips it over to me and I'm met with the pictures of four people. Three men and one woman.
"Oh my god." I say, staring at the paper. It made sense now.
"Are they the ones?"
"These two are." I say pointing towards two of the males. "They were some of the Peacekeeper's that held Jake and me." The two men are pictured on the page and bold letters above them read SUSPECTED REBELS. I'm brought back to the event a few days ago where I even thought to myself that these were not normal Peacekeeper's, they were brutish and cruel. I should've pieced it together. "So the rebels are already occupying the districts? I'd heard they were only in the Capitol." I ask thinking of what I had heard and the news on the television.
"Look at the date." Adam says pointing to the left corner of the paper. "It's recent. They must've only realized that rebels aren't just in the Capitol." He says glumly.
"But if they're in the districts…what do we do?" I ask. This cannot be happening. A year ago, everything was normal. The rebellion behind us, we were living a free life. I don't understand.
"I guess we can't do anything." Adam says. "We've been locked into the district." Once again Adam is right. There's no evading this. The rebels are winning and our security measures have backfired on us. We're trapped. For once being part of the Mellark family isn't just a celebrity sort of thing. This could be dangerous.
"Hang on." I say. "If the rebels are here, as Peacekeeper's and whatnot, wouldn't they have ordered the lock down?" Adam thinks this over.
"What are you trying to say?"
"That maybe our security, Jake's dad for instance, maybe they've been working for rebels all along. How would they have known? We don't know whose who anymore. Anyone could be a rebel." Adam looks at me carefully and I know he doesn't want to believe it. But I can sense he thinks I'm right.
"Let's just keep looking, and get out of here. People are going to notice soon." We continue combing through the room carefully picking our as many bits of information we can. Information on district's, industry, anything. After about another 20 minutes I decide that we've been snooping for long enough. I'm starting to feel awful that we're taking things that are so obviously not ours. I straighten up and head to the door, calling Adam. He says he just has one more piece of paper to look at. I stand by the door and wait for him, facing the hallway, becoming antsy when suddenly he sucks in a breath and starts to freak out. I turn back to his commotion and find him, knuckles white from his grip on the paper and his mouth agape.
"Adam?" I ask striding over. "What is it?" I yell at him when he doesn't answer. He flips the paper over and I scan it quickly. It's inside information, a rumor of the rebel's game plan, from a non rebel inside the Capitol. It said reinstatement of The Hunger Games.
Gale POV
I head over to the Katniss and Peeta's house, thinking tonight is the night to discuss the rebellion considering the kids are out. It's getting worse although the specifics are still unclear. I don't know why they're not giving me information but they're just not. I saw a program on the T.V a few days ago outlining a massive attack against the rebels that our government was initiating. I hope it has some effect. It's quite dark when I reach their house, and there are no lights to make the journey easier. I should have driven. But it seems ridiculous to drive a few minutes down a road. I pass the gate, climb the porch stairs and rap on the door. They should be expecting me.
Katniss opens the door, a smile on her face. "Come in." She says. Cheerfully. And while she is not like her old scowling self it's still a bit odd. I enter a bit wary and hear multiple voices coming from the living room. Again odd. I follow Katniss and I'm proven right; they do have guests. It's the last people I would have guessed. Finnick Odair and family.
"Gale!" Finnick greets, merrily, getting up. He shakes my hand and claps me on the shoulder. "Good to see you!" I shake off my shock and clasp his hand.
"Good to see you too Finnick. When did you get here?" I ask, because technically it is impossible for him to be here. Transport has been shut down and no-one leaves or enters the District.
"Ah well, we got special consideration. Got relocated to this District." He says. I catch a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
"I thought you were going to 8?" Last time we had spoken that had been the plan, but of course District 8 has gone down now anyway.
"I thought so too, apparently not." He looks at me and it seems like he's holding back on something. We sit down and chat for a while, with Annie and their son Ethan who seems to be in his early twenties and looks nearly exactly like Finnick. Right when I'm about to bring up the rebellion Finnick cuts in.
"Let's sit outside for a second. It's a nice night." Peeta, Ethan, Finnick and I head outside while Katniss and Annie stay with Rye in the living room. "Sorry Annie doesn't like discussing the rebellion." Finnick says reluctantly once we're outside. I nod in understanding. While Annie is a lot better than she was during our rebellion I can understand her unwillingness to venture back into that time.
"So what do you know?" I ask Finnick. Maybe he's been let in on more than I have. Maybe he hasn't been shut out.
"Nothing." He says. His voice has some steel to it. "I'm being cut out and I'm guessing you have too." He says. Well there goes that. I look at Peeta who is listening intently and at Ethan who is gazing into the distance.
"How did you know?" I ask. I hadn't told him I'd been cut out.
"I think they're pooling victor's." He says. "Well not just victor's, rebels. Our rebels."
"Pooling?"
"Why else are we all here? You're family and mine among the "Mockingjay's"." He rolls his eyes at the name and does quotation marks with his fingers. "I think it's a plan to keep us under control. To watch us." He says. I notice the dread etched into his face and it's obvious he's considered this for a long time.
"What about the other's?" I ask him.
"I spoke to Johanna not long ago." Finnick says. "She says a lot of the others got moved to her district."
"But our move was approved by our security not the rebels." I argue with Finnick. This doesn't make any sense.
"I know. This is where it gets messy." He says grimly.
Freesia POV
Adam and I descended the stairs 20 minutes later. I'm scared. No actually that's an understatement. I can't even think straight. So many emotions are coursing through me at once. There's a fair amount of whispering at our absence but most people ignore it once Adam heads straight to Lily. I head to Jake, which is my job, to find him so we can all meet in the backyard. He's chatting to Kin and a circle of girls.
"Jake!" I call, barging straight through the group and reaching for his hand. "I need to talk to you." I tell him in a low voice and lead him out of the circle. I get a couple of whistles and ooooh's but I ignore them and drag him away. The girls throw me dirty looks. Ha.
"What's up Free?" He asks his voice sort of husky. I feel a little giddy as I go to answer him, and I know it's the alcohol talking. That and the fear gripping my insides. My heart is pounding a million miles a minute.
"I found something out." I say heavily. I lead him to a vacant corner in Daisy's huge garden so no-one should overhear us. Lily and Adam should be coming to meet us.
"And what might this be?" I spin around quickly to face him but get distracted by his lips. I definitely think the alcohol has taken some effect on me. That and my mix of emotions. His tongue goes over them slightly. My breathing speeds and I'm unsure what is going on.
"Well I...I was with-" His lips crash down on mine before I can get the sentence out and I don't pull away. Right now I want Jake Hawthorne. I don't even stop to question this. His hands are on my waist, gripping me tightly and I sling my arms around his neck and my hands move to his hair. It's soft beneath my fingers. I feel his tongue brush my lip and shockingly I let it. I feel the rough stubble from his cheeks against my hands and he grips my back tighter to him so every part of me is touching him. I'm really out of breath now but I just don't care as our lips pick up the pace and his tongue enters my mouth. I let his tongue play with mine for a second before I have to break away for air. But I rest my forehead on his keeping contact, we're both breathing hard. I regain some clarity in my head.
"Lily and Adam will come soon." I whisper, disentangling myself from him and looking away. What did I just do? I just made out with Jake. That's what. He laughs.
"You don't have to be embarrassed Free." He says.
"I'm not!" I shoot back angrily. He shrugs and takes my hand. I let him even while Lily and Adam approach.
"Hey guys." Lily greets us. I smile at her but she shoots me a knowing look. Obviously I look nervous or something. Only she can tell. She looks at our hands curiously. I take mine out of his, trying to avoid her scrutiny. "So what did you two find?" She asks motioning between Adam and me. Adam and I share a look quickly and he knows I want him to talk. He takes a deep breath and begins.
"The District's that have gone down? They've all been taken by the rebels." Adam's says, speaking very quickly and very quietly. "As in they have full control. Full control of transportation, grain and power. At the rate it's going they can occupy half of Panem soon, if they haven't already." Lily and Jake look horrified much like Adam and I did when we found this out. "I know," he says, "and obviously they are going to be targeting the important ones."
"They're going to come to Twelve aren't they?" Jake asks in dread. I look up at Adam with frightened eyes.
"They already have." I whisper. Lily and Jake's heads whip around so quickly to see if I'm joking. I'm not.
"What?" Jake says. "Nothing's changed though."
"The rebels are everywhere. Apparently. From what we could gather at least." Adam speaks. "Some have occupied District 12. I mean we have the coal mines and a great deal of old rebels in the District."
"And two suspected rebels I recognized as the Peacekeeper's that arrested us." I say to Jake. "They wouldn't have treated us so harshly if they weren't. I mean we practically took a stance and defied them from they're point of view. Being outside the fence." I say. Lily nods in agreement. Jake's eyes light up suddenly as if he's figured something out. When he sees me looking he assumes a blank expression again.
"What?" I ask carefully. He shakes his head.
"Nothing." He says giving me a smile. Fine.
"There's one more thing." Lily looks at me in disbelief. I try to amend what I said. "Well I don't know if it's true…it's um…just a rumor, but we found it and we read something about…" I can't seem to finish and truth is I'm scared out of my wits.
Adam finishes for me. "There was something about the Hunger Games."
"So what did you think?" I ask Jake as we walk home. His arm's linked with mine, because high heels don't fend well on loose stones. Lily and Adam are the same. We are trying not to think too much about the rebellion or Hunger Games. Even though it's obviously still in the back of all our minds. We're trying our hardest for each other's sake.
He smiles. "It was good. Well at least I'll know some people when we start school."
"Yeah, he'll start school with a trail of girls behind him!" Lily laughs and winks at Jake. He looks a tad uncomfortable, and for once he has nothing to say. Oh my god it's a miracle I think to myself.
"Let me guess, District Two parties are all glitz and glam, down at somebody's mansion?" I ask Jake. Steering the conversation away from his many admirers. I try to picture a District 2 party. I've never been to District 2, but from school I've heard they're the wealthiest and were the most favored back in the day.
"Oh yeah Free, and Daisy doesn't have a mansion?" Lily says sarcastically, laughing at me.
"Shut up, you know what I mean!"
"Sort of I guess." Jake says. "Though you guys had the glitz and glamour sorted out tonight." He says his eyes appraising me and Lily.
I turn my head away from Adam and Lil and face Jake straight on, our faces nearly touching. "Yeah?"
"Yeah." He grins. We look at each other for a second until I break eye contact accidentally as I trip in a pot hole, invisible in the dark.
Jake's arm tightens and he grabs my waist to steady me as I trip forward. "You okay?" I look up to answer him, but become startled. One of his arms is around my waist so that our hips are together and I'm gripping his arm and shoulder, which causes our noses to nearly touch. He continues looking at me so I disentangle myself keeping his one arm linked in mine for the support.
"Fine." I smile and we all continue walking.
It's quiet for a moment and Lily is giving me the look. The one that says, You and Jake Hawthorne, huh? I give her one back saying, Shut it. She laughs and leans into Adam, he pecks her cheek.
"So Free, saw you and Shamus Gallaghan having a heart to heart tonight." Adam says pointedly, grinning ear to ear. I'm reminded of what happened after I kissed Jake and had the chat with Lily and Adam.
"Oh my god Adam. Shut. Up. Now." I say to him menacingly. Of course he doesn't care and just starts laughing his head off.
"Wait who was he?" Jake asks leaning around me and trying to recall the guy.
"Oh, we didn't introduce you to him." Lily assures him, kindly.
Adam just laughs. "Maybe we should have. He could've punched him in the face for harassing Free again."
"Harassing you?" Jake looks at me, his tone slightly angry.
"No he doesn't harass me." I say quickly glaring at Adam. Lily has a similar idea and smacks him on the arm. Go Lil.
"Adam! If he was actually harassing her, I would expect you to punch him in the face!"
I burst out laughing. "Okay maybe I will!" Adam says, but I'm sure he's bluffing. "All of Free's attempts just seem to drag him in."
I groan loudly. "Adam."
"Well he was convinced they were dating." Lily reminds him, giggling her head off.
"Oh that's right! So Free this is all your fault!"
"How is it my fault?" I ask him incredulously. "He's nuts!"
"Yes, but you didn't do a very good job of telling him you weren't dating. It took you three days to figure it out, meanwhile he'd been telling everyone he had the hottest girlfriend in the school!"
I shake my head at Adam, while Jake's head swivels between the three of us. "I am so confused…"
"Okay." Lily says stepping in for me and Adam. "This guy Shamus has some weird obsession with Free and deluded himself into thinking they were dating. Now every time he sees her he tries to seduce her or something like that." We're all laughing at our memories of Shamus except of course for Jake who has a crease in his brow.
"Well I guess he won't think you're dating him when you get back to school." Jake whispers in my ear, tickling my face. I look up at him questioningly. Are we dating? Well I guess I just did spend part of a party kissing him and now he's walking me home…I'm used to things being said officially. See, this is what I mean. Why I'm always confused about Jake and I. None of us proclaim anything, things just happen. Oh well, I can't really argue we aren't dating, considering everything.
Before I can say anything Adam pipes up.
"Look at your house." He says pointing. The windows are all filled with light even though it's nearly midnight. There are four men talking on the porch, I can't tell who they are from here.
"Your seriously not patrolling the streets until we come home are you dad?" I call out as we reach the gate. Jake unhooks my arm. It would be like dad to do this. Worried someone had abducted us or something crazy.
He laughs though. "No Free, we're just talking." As he says this I hear Lily gasp, and I look at her but she's waving frantically at the porch, a smile on her face. Then I hear him, from the porch, laughing quietly.
"Ethan!" I shout without even needing to check it's him, and race up the path to tackle him in a hug. He hugs me back, still a half foot taller even in my enormous heels. Lily follows behind and hugs him too, and we both greet his father Finnick Odair.
We've known the Odair's all our lives. We always used to visit their house in District 4, though they rarely come here. I've always been best friends with Ethan, even though he's five years older, we still get along well. He's one of those friends who you can see only once or twice a year but still be really close with. He's the one who taught me to weave nets down on the beach in 4.
"What are you doing here?" I ask him eagerly, hoping he's staying for more than a couple of days. Dad laughs at my energy.
"We've moved here for a while." He says with a smile. I frown. Moved here? Why the hell would they abandon District 4 for 12?
"What?" I ask sharply, but my dad cuts him off before he can answer.
"Inside girls it's late. You can catch up tomorrow." He waves us off and I'm guessing they want to continue their conversation before we interrupted. "Thanks, for bringing them home Adam, Jake." Dad nods at the boys who are standing awkwardly a metre or so from the porch. Adam nods and walks back down the path. Jake goes to follow but he gives me an odd look first. I smile at him and give him a small wave. It takes a couple of seconds but he returns it and then follows Adam out of our garden.
"Jake I'll be home in a half hour!" Gale calls out as we enter the house. Lily and I wave to Annie and mum on the couch and head upstairs to bed. The rebellion and Hunger Games forgotten for the night.
Please Review!
I'm considering phasing Gale's POV out, what do you think?
