Josh and I shake hands, and are taken off he stage by a group of around six peacekeepers. Cameras follow us all the way to the rooms where will say goodbye to our families. Josh and I walk into our separate rooms, and a peacekeeper slams the door behind me.
The room is blank except for one small couch that would only fit about three people on it, I go and sit down on it. I check that there are no cameras in the room, and let the shock and fear show on my face, but don't cry, because know that the train station will be packed with camera crews, from the Capitol and I can't be broadcasted with red puffy eyes from tears. When my family come in I wipe my face of horror. For James' sake I stand up and say to my parents " you promised Diana we wouldn't sign up for tessare like her, in the drought we did, you can't do that to James, you can't do that to me. James won't sign up for tessare." I look into my parents eyes sternly, they nod and in return I almost yell back, " You broke her last promise, it might as well of been her death wish, and you broke that promise. You broke the promise that could of been the most important one yet, you could of kept it but you didn't."
"Ever since the day I broke that promise, I have felt like a horrible person, I promise, whatever you want will happen. Love you and I loved Diana..." his voice broke, he opend his mouth as if to say something but didn't.
"You blamed yourself when Diana went, you can't do that his time if I go, I love you, remember that." I say
"We love you to," my mother says softly looking at my shoes. The room goes silent and I watch a tear roll down James' face, and I hold back my own.
"They let you wear a token from your district," James says, " will you wear this" and he hands me the charm I gave him that morning.
"of course," I say and give him a hug, just as a peacekeeper comes in, signaling our final goodbyes. I hug them all the last thing I say is "I love you, no matter what you see on those screens remember that. Just as the peackeepers drag my family out I hear James say
"Try, try for Diana," then the peacekeeper slams the door. And I decide that I will try, I'll try for James , for my mother and father, but I will try mostly for Diana.
