Ok so I know the last chapter wasn't that good. But I'm trying really hard to work on this so give me a chance. Here's the next chapter. Read and Review!

I DO NOT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS!

The only characters I own are Adriana, Jake, Michael, Wade, Matthew and Haley.

I'm awake now but only just. I'm really tired from staying up all night watching the Games. I stopped watching the 1st one and jumped right to the 74th to see mom and dad in them. I manage to get myself out of bed. I throw the jeans I were yesterday and a t-shirt I were two days ago. I go into the kitchen to make Jake and I our lunches for school. I open up the fridge. Great. Mom and dad didn't but any groceries. I grab an apple and a slice of bread dad made about a week ago and I put it in my bag. I take out the same thing for Jake. I always need to make Jake and I lunch because mom and dad are never home to. I go into Jakes room to wake him up. I notice that mom and dad have left him out some new clothes. They must have bought those last night. Jake gets dressed and when he comes out into the kitchen I hand him his lunch. He looks at me "Adriana mommy gave ms money for lunch today" he says to me. Of course she did. I look at him "Jake go brush your hair" I say annoyed. Jake has dads hair its really blonde but he has moms eyes. Whereas I have dark blonde hair that's straight like moms and have dads blue eyes.

We leave the house and start our walk to school. We are talking like we always do "mom and dad are really mad that you were watching The Hunger Games without asking them" he says. I look at him "you were watching them too!" I shout. He looks taken surprised that I said this "ya but you're the big sister you're supposed to be more responsible" he responses. "Besides I don't think they're mad anymore if they were why would they buy me ice cream" he asks. I sigh "because they like you better". Why lie its true. He looks at me "no they don't" he says. I ignore that comment and change the subject "ok so I'm going to pick you up today after school so wait for me" I tell him "okay" he responds as we reach his school "bye!" he calls as he runs to meet his friends Michael and Wade.

After school I go to Jake's school to pick him up. I wonder around the school yard looking for him. Where the hell is? The school is now empty except for a few teachers. Maybe he just started walking home. I run to my house and open the door "Jake! Where were you?" I shout. There's no answer. I'm gonna kill him. I need to find him before mom comes or she'll kill me.I start to call his friends but they all say that he's not there. I start to cook dinner hoping he'll come home soon.

It's 8:00 at night now, I'm starting to get worried. When the door opens and mom and dad come in with Jake. Oh shit. "ADRIANA PRIMROSE MELLARK" dad shouts "would you like to explain to me why we found our 10 year old wondering the streets by himself?" he's getting louder and louder. I can feel my eyes fill with tears. "I don't know! I showed up at his school and he was gone! He didn't wait even though I told him too!" I shout. Mom glares at me "you should have been there earlier" she says. I can feel the anger rise inside me "it's not my fault!" I say. "yes it is your the older sister! He's your responsibility" she shouts. I stare at her I feel so much hatred for her "No he's not my responsibility! He's yours! You're supposed to be our parents!" I shout at them. Dad looks at me "Don't ever raise your voice like that again. We're extremely disappointed in you" he shouts. I look at them on the verge of tears "you love Jake so much more than you love me! I'm tired of being the second best" I say to them. Mom looks at me "he's younger then you are he needs more attention. I expect more from you" she says. I glare at "you shouldn't! I'm not Prim mom!" I can't believe I actually just said that.Dad looks at me "you ungrateful little bitch" he says. He approaches me and grips my arms tightly "you will never ever say that again. Do you understand me?" he says with anger. I'm shaking with fear and I nod my head. He lets go of me and I look over at Jake, he looks so scared. I go over to him "Jake why don't you go play a video game?" I say to him, he runs off to his room to play. I turn to my parents "see what you do! We're both scared of you. And you treat him better. You've never laid a hand on him and you've done it to me a thousand times. Sometimes I wish I was never even born" I'm sobbing now. Mom turns to me "sometimes I wish that too" she says. I remember something from watching the Games last night, I turn to them "I wish Cato would have won the Games instead of you" I say. They both looked surprise at this comment. Dad bites his lips "get out. Get out of our house. You don't know what it's like to live through something like that" he says. "You're right I don't, but I know what it's like to be afraid and feel like I have no one. As for getting out goes. I'm glad to leave" I say as I storm out.

I walk to my mom's old friend Gales, house. Gale and his wife Haley are my godparents. But they're more like my real parents. I get to Gale's house and bang on the door. He opens it in a when he sees me crying he pulls me into a hug. "Sh, it's ok, it's going to be ok" he tells me as he pulls me in and closes the door. Haley comes to the door "Gale who is it' when she sees me crying she also gives me a hug. "Do you want to talk about it" she asks. "Not right now" I respond. Gale looks at me "do you want to spend the night?" he asks me. I look at him "thanks" he smiles. He calls Matthew to come to the door. Matthew is their son and he looks exactly like Gale. The hair, the eyes, the height. Matthew looks at me "come on, lets go watch some tv in my room" he says. As we head into his room. From behind Haley calls "bedtime is at 11:00, and Adriana don't worry about pajamas or clothes because we still have the ones from the last time you spent the night" she says to me. I sleep here a lot but I love it here, it's like a real home. Matthew looks at me "I think my dad is going to call your mom and tell him you're here" he says. I look at him with a worried look "your poor dad" I say.

Thanks for reading this. It means a lot to me. I'm still thinking up so ideas but I'll update soon. At the beginning of the next chapter your going to hear or well read the argument between Katniss and Gale. Remember your reviews are important!
