div id=":to" class="a3s" style="overflow: hidden;"Chapter twobr /br / Willows POVbr /br / I hold my little brothers hand tight while I can hear my dad in the basement crying to my mom. Everytime he has one of his flashbacks, he blames himself if someone gets hurt... We are anxiously waiting for grandma everdeen to get here because she is a fully trained doctor. She is training me as well, I hope to help people like she does one day. Just as my grandma walks through the door, Rye wakes up slowly, but despite this, he instantly notices his leg and he cries out in pain! He has definitely broken it, it is twisted the completely wrong way. "Shhh, it's alright, grandmas here now..." I say, stroking his ashy blonde hair and comforting / "It's alright rye," grandma says "you're going to be fine."br / "Gramdma!" I say worryingly, "you really need to look at his leg!" She very gently picks up his leg and tells me to get some morphling out of her bag. She puts it on a drip into Rye's arm and he slowly starts to calm down. When my grandma finishes checking his eye and his head, she comes back to his leg. "Willow, he's quite drowsy now but I still need you to hold him down for me okay." Grandma tells me / I do as she says and she grabs my little brothers leg and manipulates it back into position. I can't stand to watch him in so much pain, but I know it's for the best. Once grandma has manipulated poor little rye's leg, she puts a cast on it and then carries him over to his bed where he stays asleep until /br /br / Katniss's POVbr /br / I watch Rye as my mother teaches him how to walk on crutches. They're not exactly hi-tech, just some hand crafted wooden ones that Peeta used when he first had his leg replacement after our first games, but they'll do. Peeta feels worse than he ever has before. I keep trying to tell him that it's not his fault but he left for the bakery with willow this morning looking the most downcast that I have ever seen him. I'll probably have to go to the apothecary later to get him the medication he needs to take when this happens. When my son gets too tired to walk, I sit him down on the sofa. "Rye, we need to talk." I said "How did you get a black eye in the first place?"br / " Well, we were in history class and there's this new kid at school..." Rye said hesitantlybr / "Go on." I said / "He said that he was related to someone called Cato and that it was your fault he was dead... so he beat me up and he was much stronger than me... So I couldn't fight back..."br / At the first mention of Cato's name,I shed a tear. Hastily wiping it away, I said to my second child "Don't even worry about him, I'll talk to your teacher about it tomorrow ok..." Rye looked at me in concern so I just told my mom that I needed to go out for a bit and she understood straight away. She gave me an understanding nod and with that, I ran out of the house and into the woods, the place where I could find solitude, one of the few places where I felt truly happy...br /br / Rory's POVbr /br / "Hey dad!" I called out as I walked into the house. My dad came into the hall with the most furious look on his face I have ever seen. "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!" my dad yelled in my face, " Katniss called me, she said you were going to come home because of what happened last night but you never showed up!"br / I wipe the spit from my face and try to explain myself. "I couldn't come home last night dad, Willow needed me!"br / "Why the HELL didn't you call me then?!" My dad bellowed. "Your mother and I have been worried sick! GO UPSTAIRS! You're grounded!"br / "What?! How long for?!" I / "I'll discuss that with your mother later! Now go upstairs!" My father said, trying to suppress his anger. I did as I was told and ended up falling asleep for a while. Having an ex military commander can be scary sometimes, he's so strict!br /br / Gales POVbr /br / When Johanna gets home from work later, I sit down with her and discuss what happened last night. "Gale honey, Rory was comforting his girlfriend! Why should he be punished for that?" Johanna says, trying to reason with / "Johanna, he should have called me, how was I meant to know where he was, he could have died!" I replied / "Gale," Johanna says calmly putting a hand on my shoulder "we're not in the war anymore, you don't need to be so strict with the kids, you know... Just go and tell Rory that he's not in trouble for comforting someone in their hour of need yeah."br / "Fine." I reply. I walk upstairs and into rory's room. " dinner will be ready soon son." There is no reply. "look I'm sorry for yelling at you like that, you were just helping someone you love, you're not in trouble."br / "Really?" Rory questions. He reminds me of my brother so / "Yes, really." I reply "why don't you come help me pluck the turkey?"br / "Ok" he says smiling, I feel better now I've said that out /br /br / 2 weeks laterbr /br / Landons POVbr /br / I can't wait to go to district four again! We're going to visit Annie and Finnick and their family. I can't wait to see Tyson again, he's the only one our age in our little sort of group. Apparently we were inseparable since birth according to our parents so I guess that explains a lot. It's a shame Rye won't be able to swim cause of his leg. We all wish dad would stop feeling so bad about it, we all know that it's not his fault he has flashbacks and gets angry. Sometimes he's just too / "Boys!" My mom calls up the stairs "Come on we have to leave in half an hour!"br / "We'll be right down!" I reply "Come on Joseph, the sooner we leave, the sooner we get to go to the ocean!" I put my cell phone into the front of my rucksack and run downstairs, with Joseph not far behind me. When I get downstairs I see that my sister has packed a massive suitcase. "You do realise Rory's coming with us right? You can let him out of the suitcase now!" I joke. Everyone / "A girl needs choice Landon! Unlike you, I actually wear more than one set of clothes!" Willow / "Come on, come on! We'll miss the train if we're not careful!" My mum says rushing us out of the house. We meet the Hawthornes at the train station and it looks like we arrived just on time because as soon as we greet each other, the train is pulling / "That was always you Catnip, late for everything!" Gale joked, Catnip was a nickname that Gale gave to my mother when they were teenagers and they'd just met. Something about a cat following mum and Gale not hearing her name right. "I bagsi this room!" Pointing to one just to the right of the train / "Oh no you don't Landon! That is for me and your mother." Dad says after stepping onto the / "But dad it's got a water bed!" I / "Exactly..." Dad replied giving my mom a / "Never changed..." I hear Haymitch mutter behind / Suddenly I hear Joseph shouting me and he has found the best room ever!br /br / We arrive in district four early in the morning and we are greeted by the Odairs- Finnick, Annie, Finnick jr, Tyson and Cressida. "Tyson!" I shout, Joseph and I run up to him and we fist bump while the girls all squeal because they are so happy to see each other and Rory, Rye and Finn all start immediately talking about the beach. "Which girl do you think has the loudest squealy sort of noise?" I ask Tyson and / "Definitely Rory's twin sisters, Annie and Maggie" We all say in unison. Then we all start laughing and head off in the direction of the Odairs massive house with our /br / Finns POVbr /br / Me, Rory and Tyson are all just sitting in my room getting ready to go surfing, well me and Rory are, Rye's just gonna watch from the beach because of his leg... "Hey Rye, aren't you gonna be bored not being able to swim and all that?" I / "Nah, I'll help my dad with the barbecue instead, it'll give me a chance to talk to him about what happened, he still thinks it's his fault, I hate seeing him this stressed..." Rye / "Yh, my parents don't talk much about the past but I know that my dad went a bit mental second games cause my mom was captured by the Capitol..." I / "On a lighter note!" Rory said loudly, breaking the awkward silence "I'm ready, so let's go to the beach!"
