Gabi Pov
i wish they are still alive
even if I will never see them again I hope they're out there somewhere, living a life but not a dead one
I don't have anyone
I've never been close to my mother and I feel I can't speak to her and she hasn't been the same social or mentally the same since my father passed away a couple years ago
I now I have lost my brothers and sisters
I'm trying to find new people too talk to but no one can replace Noah or willow
its been almost a week since the games
and fucking Corrie seems to be loving his new life
everyday I go to the memorials at the justice building and lay down new flowers and relight candles
the other day rye and I went down to the woods and set up gravestones there next to kyles
it was hard but i'm glad I did it
I really am
I hardly go home any more
I just go round helping people like I used to do with Willow
I started going to school but its really hard to concentrate but I try and I try to work
Effie comes and sees us a couple times a week to see haymitch and see how we're all holding up
but there is nothing special happening here
its all depressing
I feel everysingle day its raining even though it isn't
willow/weef Pov
everyones surgery went good and no one looks deformed
I didn't even realise but we were on an aircraft the hole time
we walked of the aircraft on to the air way road thing
peace keepers handed us a large suitcase each, a key and a piece of paper with our address to our house/flat and workplace
I wait for Mahi- Mark.
and we head into a new world
all four of us (myself, Robbie/Rowan, Noah/Norrin and Mark) get to the block of flats we now call home
"right come on then ladies" I take a deep breathe and walk in
we find our room no. and I say goodbye to Robbie and Noah for now
myself and Mahic enter our room and I cant believe my eyes
it's nothing like I expected, I expected something like a victors house just smaller
but its so urgh I can think of a word
its so capitolizy
MODERN
its so modern
but I love it its so cozy and ooft I just love it so much
I sit on the sofa and I go through my bag
and there is yet again another not within a load of clothes
bills and taxes will all be paid for, you go to work and provide money for any luxury items, food and drink will be dropped off to your house every day. we have everything covered. you did die. we owe you.
"well we have a pretty damn easy life" I laugh to mahic as I pass him the note
he smiles
there is a beeping sound and its the phone
I pick up the phone
its on speaker so we both can listen
Can Mr and Mrs Tine please make there way down to the train platform and pack for a 7 day trip. this is compulsory, you must attend. the train leaves at 4pm today thankyou
"guess we're married" he laughs and just zips his bag up again as we are leaving in half an hour
"well I guess your stuck with me" I laugh and I give him a hug and I zip my bag up aswell
we head out the door and Noah and Robie walk out looking all smart in their suits
"I still have no idea where I work" noahs laughs still looking at myself
"mate I think its school" Mahic says looking at the tie
"you gotta be freaking kidding me" Robbie sighs
"right we better get going, we are going for a 7 day trip to god knows where" I say
"bye guys have fun" noah says annoyed and we head our different ways
we get on the trains and the peace keeper stops us
"you need to get off at twelve and then there will be peace keepers to guide you from there" he says and then lets us past
I look at Mahic terrified
I have to go to my home town and pretend I have never seen it before
we sit on the train and it takes us 4 hours to get there but it feels like 5 minutes
I step off the train and I see Rye, Gabi and this other girl go into the woods and my heart stops
I want to follow them but I cant
I feel Mahic take my hand and we follow these peacekeepers to an empty victors house
which Is right next to my house
WHAT THE FUCK
I cannot do this
I walk past my house and I look in the window and my mum is making dinner and my dad just left the door
" Mr Mellark" the peacekeeper shouts to get his attention
"yes" my dad says and starts to walk over
this makes my heart melt, I have missed his voice
"well this is Weef and Mark Tines, they will be living next door for the next week, they are here to help build the new houses for the homeless"
"oh yes, the project that Gabi yeres made happen?"
"yes sir, that's the one" the peace keeper replys
oh my god, Gabi and I were going to do that plan in the summer and we never got round to doing it cause to her I'm dead
I can feel tears at my eyes
"you okay madam" I look up and my dad is speaking to me
"oh yes , I''ve just got something in my eye" I say about to burst out crying
"well I got to head, but we should have you guys for tea sometime yea?" dad asks to myself and Mahic
"of course" Mahic says
and we head to the house
I run into the house and burst out crying
my dad didn't even know who I was
well don't blame him I do look totally different and sound different
the peace keeper is still here and he says we have to be at the justice building in and hour and help Gabi plan what is happening
shit I think
I cannot work with her she is my best friend
I decide to go to the justice building on my own
Mahic offers to unpack
I walk into the Square and I see all these candles at on the stage
I go up closer to see what it is and I soon as I see it
I want to cry and cry but obviously I cant, I'm supposed to not know anything
I look at my memorial, and there is willow flowers and candles and the pictures
they make me smile
thereis one of my family, one of my and gabi running through the woods, one of myself , Robbie and Noah and of course one of Rye and I
I pick it up and swipe my fingers along at and smile
"oi, put that down!" I hear someone say behind me
I turn round and Gabi is walking towards me furiously
"oh sorry" I say and put it back down
"I'm sorry if I came across rude, but please don't touch them, I spend everyday trying to make them neat and tidy" she says straightening up a candle
"of course I wont, who are these people" I say trying to pretend I have no clue who they are
"my family" gabi says, and I want to give her a hug so bad and I can feel my eyes watering up "Willow Mellark, nicest girl you would ever meet, only cared about others. she didn't deserve to die, when her and noah died, it took affect on the hole district. people wouldn't talk, it was quiet. people wouldn't come out there houses because noah and willow brought this district to life and they will never know" she says and I can tell she is about in tears aswell
"so I take it this is noah's" I ask and walk over to his
"yes, the pain the games caused is un thinkable, that's why I'm doing this project, willow wanted to do it, and I'm going to do it for her"
"whos is this," I ask this time walking over to Mahics
"my brother" I hear someone say from behind me
wait brother?
I turn round and this girl and rye stand there staring at me
"oh my god" I whisper and I started cying
that must be thorn, mahics wee sister
why she here
"um, you okay" rye says
"no, but I will be" I say and smile
I stick my hand out " willo-weef Tine" I say hoping they don't notice my mistake
"rye Mellark" he says back and shakes my hand
when he shakes my hand I start shaking
I just want to tell them its me
"hey Gabi is it okay if I go for a walk" I ask while shaking
"of course" and as soon as she says that I run towards the woods
Rye Pov
why the fuck is there capitol folk here
and then I realise its for gabis project
but there was something so similar the way she looked at me
and when I shook her hand it reminded me of willow and I have no idea why
but it was so odd
as soon as she saw me she started crying, like I was her bestfriend who she hadnt seen in years
thorn goes and helps my mum make dinner, she has started living with us, her parents kicked her out after Mahic died
she starts running off into the woods and I start getting really suspicious
"should we follow?" I ask Gabi
"yeah, shes odd, something about her that doesn't seem right" Gabi asks
out of no where this man runs up to us
"hey have you guys seen will-weef" he says quickly
"uh yeah she went into the woods" I reply
as soon I said this he ran towards the woods
"right we have to follow them" Gabi says and starts running toward the woods and i of course follow
we get to the woods and we slowly follow their trails
we end up coming to our patch of grass in the middle and they are both there
"why us Mahic" I hear the women say
I look at Gabi in confusing
"why did she send us here, why couldn't of been someone who didn't come from 12, they didn't send Noah out, or Robbie and I have to walk around this place " she is in tears and I'm so confused " I had to pretend I didn't have a clue who Rye was, my own brother Mahic" the man gives her a hug and I'm so creeped out and confused
I look over to gabi
" I think that's Willow" she mouths while her eyes water up
nah it cant be she died
"willow calm down, we are only here for 6 more days" the guy says
"yes 6 more fuckin days where I am living next to my family and I have to pretend like I have no fucking clue who they are" she cries out "we are dead Mahic, even with the new Identity, we are still dead, there is no life living"
they both sit there in silent looking at the graves
its been about 10 minutes and i still don't believe it
"your sister" Weef says quietly
"what about her" the man replys
"shes here" Weef says
"what no. no. " he says annoyed
I tap Gabi on the shoulder and geture for us to leave and we do but I still cannot believe it.
