Chapter 14
The train ride is very quiet. "Stay safe for me. I begged for them to let me stay even though I personally hate it here so much, but they refused. Here, take my pin and since they wouldn't let me stay with you, and I put up a giant argument, they said you can call us. And if you can find some way to control your energy, that would be great so when you come back, we can move in from where we left off. Stay safe." She says and kisses me on the forehead. I give her a big hug and walk out. The building I'm in is called the training center. It's where the tributes stayed before the games. When I walk in I see Dillain.
"Dillian!" He gives me a hug. "How are you? Have you heard about Cameron?" I sigh, "I'm constantly having nightmares and I haven't heard anything about Cam since the day I woke up when they said they had to put him back under." "Oh, I'm sorry." "It's okay. Really, I'm trying to let go. After all, for most people the saying 'if you love someone let them free and if they really love you they'll come back' is true so lets hope it is for me." We are directed to is on the 12 floor and Dillians is on the 4. When I go up there they have dinner on the table for me. Just me. Great. I have a little bit and then go to my room, which was my mothers and I want to cry even more. In the closet is some clothes.
Everyday is pretty much the same now. I wake up, eat breakfast, paint on the roof, then go back down for dinner and back to bed so I can have more nightmares. I am getting more of my old self back but some of it still hangs on to Cam.
The next morning when I wake up, I get dressed in a sweater and leggings and go down to breakfast. There are two place settings instead of one and I'm really confused. It can't be. I turn and see Cam holding my favorite flower. "Cam!" I say excitedly and run into his arms. He spins me and we fall. I put my hand through his messy hair. "I missed you so much. Don't leave me ever again." He whispers in my ear. "Turns out that I had more stuff than they though I did. I thought you would have been done with me by now and moved on to someone else." "Never," I whisper. We stay encircled for a long time and then decide to eat. After that I show him the roof. "This is where I spent most of my time when I came here. It's peaceful." "The flowers are almost as beautiful as you."
I giggle and he kisses me. We sit down and he fiddles with my hair when he notices a bruise that is covered by my bangs. When I tell him it's nothing he still makes me explain. When I'm done I don't look at him, I close my eyes. I can feel tears start to run and he wipes them away ever so gently. "It's okay." He whispers over and over till I fall asleep. I have the dream that has been haunting my nightmares, but instead of the horrific ending, nothing bad happens. How I wish it was everyday. When I wake up, I see him looking down at me. It's sunset. "Nice nap?" He asks and I nod my head. "I think I saw something but I didn't check because you looked so comfortable and cute," I blush. We walk over and I see it. This was my parents hangout when they were here and it is now mine. They wrote their initials by the flower beds so no one could notice it unless they had a good eye or were close to it. We put our initials and then go downstairs for dinner. He walks me to my room and gives me a kiss. "If there are any bad dreams, come by my room," I nod.
