OKAY! Hey guys, sorry I didn't update and fulfill my promise! I'm a liar. Jk I just was very busy the past few days but now im ready to update! So sorry for leaving a cliffhanger but hey it makes u want to read more. Lol so I love all the amazing people that read my story and review . You make my day. So please tell other people to read my story! I would love to have people reading! Haha Im done babbling on and on, here is the next chapter….
No, this can't be. Why is there a tsunami in District 4? It's taking the whole district under water! I don't want anyone to die! Will anyone survive? Wait, why would there just be a random tsunami this size out of no where? Im convinced this is no accidental tsunami, and my suspicions are confirmed when the news reporter announces that this was the doing of Annabelle Snow's terrorist group. It's like a way to warn Paylor to step down or more things like this will occur. Sick minds these days.
I go downstairs to see if my parents and Ash are watching the TV because there is no doubt the loud noise woke everyone up. When I go down the steps, I see them all staring at the TV with the same expression I had, except my mom is broken down on the floor in tears. Who could she possibly care about in 4? Dad must have read my expression because he responds, "Finnick, Annie, and Finn."
Oh, Finnick, Annie, and Finn. They have visited about a million times. The first time we met was when I was 4 and Finn was 5. Finn was so nice, but a little too cocky and flirty, even at the age of 5. Then there is Finnick who was in the Quarter Quell with my mom and her only sanity in District 13. Lastly Annie, who is still a bit crazy from her time in the games, but is so nice and has Finnick to bring her back down to earth. The last time I saw them was 5 months ago, and if I don't ever see them again I don't know what I will do.
Now I am the one who is crying. Hysterically would be the way to put it. I can not deal with death especially if it's someone I know. If they die, I don't know what I'll do. I can't stop crying now and neither can my mom. Dad convinces us to sit on the couch and starts talking to us, attempting to calm us down.
"Please calm down and listen to me for just a minute. Finnick, Annie, and Finn will be alright! Think for a minute. Finnick and Annie survived the Hunger Games for Pete's sake and they all can swim like fish. They will be alright, I can almost promise you," Dad says.
Of course, leave it to dad to know just what to say. He is so lucky to have that ability. So now mom and I are calmed down, but still sad. There is still the chance that they could not make it, but I can't think like that right now. Before I know it my head is comfy on the pillow and my eyes are getting heavy. My eyes close and I fall asleep.
The next morning I wake up in my bed. Dad either carried me up or I sleep walked. Oh well, at least its Saturday and there is no school. I sit up and memory floods over me. What's happening in District 4 now?
I get up out of my bed and take a quick shower. When I get out, I change into some jeans and a purple tank top then head downstairs. Everyone was gathered in the kitchen eating breakfast. I was about to ask if they heard anything from the Odairs, but the look in my mom's eye was answer enough. I make my way to the table with an apple and sit there in the awkward silence. When I'm finished, I announce that I'm heading out. I don't know where I'm going honestly, but I need to go somewhere other than this depressing house.
Stepping out the door, I'm greeted by the warmth of the sun rather than icy cold wind. Finally, winter is over and spring is here. Not knowing what to do, I go to the only place I can think of, Ryder's house. I make my way to the front door and knock. Gale answers the door, and I could tell by the look in his eyes that he knows about the tsunami. Heck, all of Panem probably knows of the tsunami.
"Hi Keegan, what brings you here?" Gale asks as friendly as he can manage.
"Is Ryder home?" I ask.
"No, he headed out to the forest. You probably know where he is out there more than me. Your guess is as good as mine," He says.
"Thanks, I will go look," I manage a smile and turn to walk away. I make my way into the forest and my first thought is to go to our spot. If he's not there, I have no clue where to go. When I see our spot I sigh, he isn't there. Well, I didn't make it here to just turn around. I'm just gonna sit here, maybe he will show up.
Why haven't we heard anything from Finnick? Surely if he was alright he would give us a call. No, they are all right, I need to stop trying to make myself upset. I feel bad for Finnick because if they are okay, Annie has probably lost it. No matter, Annabelle Snow will pay. She has gone too far now and someday she will get what she deserves, even if I have to get revenge on her personally.
I am interrupted from my thoughts by someone wrapping their arms around me. I immediately know its Ryder, just the person I needed to see. I knew he would show up. Turning myself around, I nestle my face into his chest and start crying. He holds me closer and whispers comforting words into my ear. After about five minutes, my crying becomes less hysterical. He grabs my hand, and we make our way over to the fallen tree and sit.
Now I'm shivering even though it is super hot outside. Ryder wraps his strong arms around me and pulls me onto his lap. I'm trying to stay strong, but am obviously failing miserably because Ryder whispers in my ear, "Its okay to cry."
Although, I can't cry anymore. Anger and frustration flood over me, this isn't fair. Why can they attack us like this without consequences?
"It isn't fair Ryder," I say quietly.
"I know, but its not only affecting us Keeg, its affecting everyone," Ryder explains. I understand that it isn't just affecting me. It is also probably affecting Ryder too. I mean if Gale was upset than Ryder must be too. Ryder was probably closer with Finn than even me.
We end up just sitting there in silence, the only comfortable silence of the day. After a while, we get up and make our way back to Victor's Village.
"I love you," Ryder says as we stand in front of his house. He gives me a kiss on the forehead.
"I love you too," I return with a smile before he turns around to his home. I continue to make my way to my house and walk up to the door. It isn't locked so I just let myself in. Feeling beat, I plop myself down on the couch next to Ash who is watching TV. Dad is at the bakery and mom is sitting in the kitchen reading. After a few minutes, the phone rings.
