We don't talk, none of us
we quietly hunt down squirrels and we start a fire and lay out our sleeping bags without saying one word
I still havnt really let it all in
the sky lights up and shows the tributes who have fallen
I walk away from the boys and sit down bye a tree
i look up and Robbie is looking down smiling, I feel tears falling down my face but I'm smiling to cause I know he is now at peace
Noah PoV
i honestly don't know what I'm going to do without robbie
i didn't see him much in 12 but when we did it was like we were never apart
none of us says anything but I don't mind it, I get to thinks out things
Robbie said to look after willow and that's what I'm going to do
when we sit down at the fire the sky lights up and willow walks off, don't blame her Robbie was practically her brother
farrel from district 2 comes up and I look at Mahic and he is crying and I can understand why they were close and he lost aholed, I hear him whisper something probably to them but I couldn't hear. This makes me feel sorry for him and I start tearing up on his behalf.
I see Robbie light up in the sky and this causes me to tear up but I also think of all the fun times which makes me smile
"I love you mate, take care up there" I whisper to myself
mahic pov
All I can think of is Robbie
if I just ran a little faster he could be with us right now
I never realised how close Noah and willow were to him till now, I knew they were close but they are all close as brother and sister and I can't imagine loosing my sister
when the sky lights up willow walks off
and Noah looks up and so do I
aholed shows up and it does make me tear up cause even though he did a terrible thing he was still a mate
farrel comes up
what? No.
this makes me tear up more
" bye Farrel, yes you could be bitch" I whisper and laugh to myself "but you were always there for me, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you"
when robbie shows up I just cry, I don't care who sees, he was a friend, and a brother to so many others
He is smiling in his little light up thing which cause me to smile
he was always smiling in training, in the parade I never saw him without a smile
but I regret not getting to know him better
I see willow still sitting and playing with a stick, I look over to Noah and he gestures me to go over so of course I do
I go sit next to her
"you know I never thought these games could cause so much pain" she says and places her head on my shoulder
I then place my head on her head
"I know same here, and it's all because we elected the wrong president" I say in return
" but I also never thought I would make friends, I never thought that my friends would die, I never thought it through and if I went to Robbie at the start of the games he wouldn't have been dead" she crys
i put my arms around her
"I'm not going to say that everything is going to be okay cause it's not, but I can say this, i didn't know Robbie for that long but in the time I did I found out that he would do anything to be happy and cheer others up, if it were the other way round and he was here, he would do anything to stay strong and help Noah, for you."
Willow pov
when Mahic says this it makes me cry, it was so true and so beautiful and it made me happy
I break the hug and look into his eyes
"thankyou" I whisper
"I know" he says
he Kisses me in the forehead and stands up
"right Come on, can't spend all our time in here crying" he says wiping his tears and holding out a hand
"nope we can't" I say back and take hold of his hand
we walk back to the fire place where Noah has already cooked the squirrels
"right I guess it's time to see what squirrels taste like" I say and grab my serving of squirrel
We all laugh at jokes being shared and I suppose it's not thatbad
I realised that you need to be willing to let the important things go and let yourself have fun even though we don't deserve it, we need to let the ones that love you in
I lie onto my back and look up into the sky and appreciate everything that I have, my friends family, my district
Imisss it I miss them
But I guess this was my fait
And so be it
I'just gunna let fate take its course
