The first group of people that come in to see me is my family. My mother is holding my sister tight with tears streaming down both of their faces. My father has his arms around my mother and I see even he, the one I always looked up to; the one I thought was strong, is crying. My sister catches sight of me and runs over. "Oh H-h-h-h-haymitch!" she cries and buries her head in my chest.

"Shhhhh baby its ok," I try to assure her, though she knows I love Maysilee and will probably die for her, "Don't cry, I promise you will be ok."

My sister is as stubborn as any other seven year old so of course, my plan fails miserably. "I AM NOT WORRIED ABOUT MYSELF BUCKO!" she screams at me.

"Whoa hold it there, I love you too….thanks for being a good sister to me." I say.

"Haymitch," my mother scolds me, "don't talk like that!"

I look at her in pure disbelief. "What? You know it is true mom! You know I will die! Oh and why don't we just add the fact that, I AM IN LOVE WITH ONE OF THE OTHER TRIBUTES SO I WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE COMING BACK BECAUSE I LOVE HER!" I scream. Oh, right when those words leave my mouth I regret saying them, my parents didn't know until now.

"MAYSILEE DONNER?" my father bellows as he stares at me, "but, she is a merchant girl! You cannot love her, I forbid it!"

"You can't stop me from doing anything I possibly desire." I retort, the rage and adrenaline is surging through my veins. As I am saying this, I see a peacekeeper peek his head through. When he sees my father looking like he is about to punch me he walks in and escorts my family out. Well, that went really well. Lovely, the way forbidden love works.

My next visitors are expected, it is Phoenix, Michelle, Camryn, and Bob. Michelle and Camryn have tears pouring down their faces, and both Phoenix and Bob have their arms rapped around their girl.

"Haymitch-," Phoenix begins.

"Save it Phoenix, you and I know very well that I will do everything in my power to make sure Maysilee returns instead of me. This is probably the last time you will EVER see me Phoenix and I already got in a fight. I don't want you to remember me angrily." I interrupt. Oh, how I love my friends, but at times I hate them.

Hey, sorry that I was unable to update sooner, but I am now on my last stretch of the school year and as soon as I am out I will update much faster (hopefully)! I hope you like this chapter! I wrote it especially long for you! I am computer class right now though so my time is limited! I will try to update again this week, but no promises. My teachers are unpredictable, but if I have no homework you will se another chapter in your future!
