"Are you okay?" He asked.

I turned to say yes, to lie, but I couldn't make any sound. I just nodded instead. He left me to myself. He came back about ten minutes later.

"I figured you'd be staying awhile." I nodded and moved things into an extra room. He had moved away from his family a few months ago. As the oldest, and too little space, he was granted his own apartment. District 13 was hard for him, he always had had a free spirit. Wanted to go places, and saw his Owen quarters as a step forward.

"Where are you?" I sighed. Dad.

I replied, "At Jaden's. Staying awhile. Don't come!"

Jaden walked into my room a few minutes later. "Your dad called." He laughed. I rolled my eyes. "He made me promise that I wouldn't love you too much while you're here."

"Did you make any promises?"

"Yes." He crossed his fingers. "I guess it isn't valid!"

"It is. Don't even try."
