I carry on running into the small garden and just as I enter I trip over a rock on the path and fall to the floor in a fit of giggles. Ethan runs over to me "Amber! Are you ok?" He asks worried. "Yeah I'm fine I think."I laugh loudly trying to stand. Ethan sees what I try to do so he grabs both my hands and pulls me up. When I wobble he throws an arm around my waist and leads me over to the bench. When we sit down he notices I've scraped my knee and I'm bleeding. "Oh Amber what am I gunna do with you?" He asks shaking his head slightly. "I didn't fall on purpose! And you know how clumsy I am!" I smile happily. Shaking his head he pulls his polo shirt off and starts cleaning my knee with it. "You know Aurora is gunna kill you, you have messed her masterpiece up." He chuckles as he stops the bleeding. "I'll just make it out that I fell in the shower and go down to medical in the morning." I shrug giggling slightly. "Why are you so giggly?"He smiles softly looking up at me. "I don't know just happy I guess." I smile leaning over and kissing him on the forehead. "I'm happy too. Are we allowed up here?" He asks looking around after cleaning my knee. "Of course. I was up here a lot last year. Follow me" I smile standing up and taking his hand. I lead him over to the side of the building. "Look they are still out partying for you." I smile pointing to the street below. "Wow! That looks great. What are they shouting?" He asks happily. "I don't know could be anything, It's a long way down. Even though the hunger games are gruesome the Capitol people throw a great party."I smile. "Too bad I won't be around to see one." Ethan sighs. I turn around and punch him hard in the stomach making him fall to the floor. "Don't! You! Dare! Talk! Like! That!"I shout angrily at him walking away from him. "Amber! Wait! Please!" He calls after me. Ignoring him I carry on walking trying to force the tears in my eyes back. "Amber!" He calls running up to me and grabbing my wrist and pulling me back and placing his lips forcefully on mine. I'm lost in the kiss unable to keep my tears at bay they spill over, making our kiss wet and salty. Ethan pulls away and places his forehead to mine. "Amber. I'm sorry." He sighs placing his hand on my cheek softly stroking it. "Ethan please don't talk like that." I sigh as the tears being to flow like a water fall. "I'm sorry." He sighs trying to dry my face. "Ethan I came back to you. I know you could win. I don't want to try this without knowing you'll come back." I explain as I continue to cry. "Amber Don't talk like that." he says sadly. "Then don't talk about losing, Losing means death!" I sigh madly. "Ok Ok! I'll try my hardest to come back. I hate seeing you cry. Amber please stop." He sighs drying my face again then pulling me back over to the bench, sitting me on his knee. I curl up into his chest as I stop my crying and calm my breathing. We sit there for a while slowly rocking from side to side, holding on to each other.

"Amber?" Ethan asks. "Yeah?" I smile as I lift my head up. "There is a guy watching us." He whispers softly. I quickly dry my tears then look around to see Finnick stood my one of the trees. "Oh Don't worry. I know him." I whisper back. "Hey Finnick!" I call to him. "Hello there Amber." He calls back walking over to us. "Ethan this is Finnick Odair, the district four mentor. Finnick this is Ethan Williams male tribute for district eleven and my closest friend." I smile as I stand up and introduce them. Ethan stands and places his left arm around my waist has he holds his right hand out. "Hello Finnick It's nice to meet you" He smiles. "Hi Ethan it's nice to meet you too, I've heard a lot about you." Finnick smiles back as they both shake hands. We all sit and talk for awhile, we laugh and joke like a normal set of friends would. After a while I start to yawn. "Amber are you sleepy?" Finnick asks. "No I'm fine." I smile. "No you are tired we should go back to our floors." Ethan smiles standing up. "Well it was nice to meet you Ethan, I'd like to get to know you more." Finnick smiles standing up. Ethan pulls me up and we all make our way back down stairs. "Night Finnick, We should hang out tomorrow night if we can." Ethan smiles as they both fist pump. "Yeah we totally should. Night Ethan. Your majesty ." He smiles back. "Night My lord." I smile back as Ethan makes sure the coast is clear for us to sneak back on to our floor.

When we can, we sneak back into my bedroom safely, and start laughing. "That was good." I smile as I go into the bathroom to clean my knee with some soap and water. "Yeah. Erm Amber why did you say to Finnick I was only your closest friend?" He asks me from my bed. "Because you are my closest friend and the closest person to me in anyway. And to be honest I'm not sure what we are at the moment." I explain still cleaning my knee not wanting to see the expression on his face. " What? I thought that would be obvious Amber we kissed we have strong feelings for each other so I thought we would be boyfriend and girlfriend. At least that's what I think about us." He explains in a sad tone. Before I leave I wash the tears away from my face. "Ok Ethan but you have to focus on training." I explain as I make my way back to my bed where Ethan has made himself comfortable. "Yeah and you need to focus on getting sponsors." He finishes in a nasty tone. "Yeah that's right. I guess you heard my conversation with Leo and Aurora?" I ask guiltily. "Yeah I heard but you don't seem confused." He explains as I lie down on the bed next to him " I don't feel confused anymore. I think it was shock, things have changed so fast tonight and so many times." I explain softly. "What do you mean so many times?" He asks pulling me over to him. "Well at the last of the evening I thought you and Lucy were dating due to the Chariot kiss, I thought I would lose your friendship. Then you turned her down and we kissed randomly. When Lucy kissed you it made me feel something that confused me but when you kissed me things felt great, but I was thinking about it ruining our friendship but if anything its strengthened it."I smile as I cuddle into his chest. "Oh I see." He smiles into my hair. "So My mighty Mentor as Lucy and I are to be trained separately what should I do in training over the next few days?" He asks me slightly sarcastic. "Well what I did was a bit of everything in training, but didn't show my skills until my private session with the gamemakers so I suggest you do the same. When it comes to weightlifting and combat don't show how good you are in front of the others. Learn Camouflage and other survival techniques they will help you a lot in the arena. Also try and watch the others and if you can or want to try and make allies they will help. Then in your private session show them everything you've got. They will still take notice by district 11 so you should be able to make an impression." I explain seriously. "Yes Boss." He smiles saluting. "Ethan can you stay in here tonight?" I ask sleepily. "Yeah sure but won't we get caught?" He asks pulling me closer. "Course not. Leo will bang on the doors to wake us up then you can sneak back to your room after wards." I explain yawning. "Ok We staying like this?" He asks. "Yup, your chest is comfortable and I can't be bothered to move." I sigh cuddling closer to him. "Night Ethan." I sigh once more as I fall asleep happy. "Night my beautiful Amber." Ethan smiles as he kiss my forehead.
