OH MY GOSH I'M SO SORRY! I said I would update soon if I got five reviews, and I got more than enough. But then my computer went all mental and I couldn't update! UGH! Well, here it is! SORRY! And this btw is Rose's POV. For some reason it just when that way in my mind. It might be her POV in the next chapters too, WHO KNOWS. At first it was going to be Katniss, then I promised it'd be Peeta, now it's Rose. I'm just so indecisive! Well ANYWAYS, here you go!

~THG~

"As you wish." the doctor says. "Now when do you want us to test this out?"

"I guess as soon as possible." dad says.

"Dad. You don't have to do this. Really." I say. I'm doing my best to breathe regularly and I look straight into his eyes. I don't want him to leave. He told me they did horrible things to him, I don't want him to have to go through anything again.

"Yes I do. It's okay." he says sounding unsure of himself.

"Peeta can I please talk to you in the hallway?" mom says worried. He nods his head and leads the way. Once the door shuts I let the sound out I've been holding in, pure fear. This can't be happening. I wasn't supposed to get this. I hardly even know what it is! I know the basics but I've never been told in detail because if dad or mom get talking about it one or both of them breaks down and we never get to the end. And personally I don't really want to find out. The dream I had was horrible. It was so real, like I was right there watching.

I hold my breath and try to listen to mom and dad's conversation. I can't hear much but what I do hear isn't pleasant. "...But what if it DOES change your memories? What if you're never the same...?" "...I don't care. I'm not letting rose go through what I did. "

How can I let them go through all this for me? I can't just let dads' memory be CHANGED just for me. I would never be able to live with the guilt. I can't let them do this for me. I'm not allowing it, I promise myself. And when I make a promise, I never break it. And if there's one thing I'm good at its changing people's minds. I sit up straight; I have to look confident if this will work. The doctor is hunched over a counter looking at some papers, when they walk in he turns around.

"So are we sure about this?"

"Y-" they both start but I cut them off.

"No." they both look at me confused. "No we are not sure of this. There's no way I'm letting you do that! If you permantely change that'd be worse than any other thing. I'd feel horrible. You're not doing it."

"Rose-" he starts but I cut him off again. I can't let him persuade me; just like me he has his way with words.

"You're. Not. Doing. It." I'm surprised at my tone of voice. It makes me sound old...like mom. Very authoritive.

"Rose." dad says sounding as stubborn as me. Yikes. How am I supposed to win? Ugh, well all I know is I can't lose.

"Doctor can we all talk in private?" mom asks. He just nods and walks out.

"Mom there's no way dad's doing that. I'm not letting him."

Dad starts talking again. "Rose you don't make the rules. Listen, I don't like this either but-"

"Dad, no! Did you not hear the doctor? You might LOOSE his memories forever! What if you forget us?"

"I'd never forget you." dad whispers, hurt on his face.

"Yeah, well you don't make the rules." I whisper back. I feel tears in my eyes. I walk straight towards the door. I have to get somewhere to think somewhere alone. I can hear footsteps behind me so I quicken my pace. I walk past the waiting room without thinking and hear Caleb's voice.

"Rose! What happened? What is it?" he asks coming towards me. That just makes me go faster. Now I'm running. I run into some door and enter it. I realize I'm in a janitor's closet. I shut the door and sink to the ground. What did I just do? I always end up hurting people, without meaning to. I feel the tears escape my eyes and don't stop them. I hate crying, and it seems I'm doing an awful lot today. There are thoughts buzzing around my head, things I need to situate. I wish I had a piece of paper or something. I close my eyes and try to focus on one thing. My dad. I can't let him do it. There's too many consequences.

The door opens and I look up and see dad. Great. I try and scoot as close to the wall as I can but it doesn't matter. He comes and sits next to me anyways. I pull my knees up to my chest.

"I don't want to talk." I say. I turn my head away.

"Well I do. Come on, look at me Rose." when I don't he takes my chin and turns it toward him so now I'm forced to look at him. "Rose, you really don't want me to do this do you?" I shake my head. He drops his hand but I don't move my head.

"Then I won't." I perk up at this. Really? He's already agreeing? "-For now." he quickly adds. I feel a small grin on my face. That's better than before. He stands up and so do I. He pulls me in for a hug and at first my arms hang limp at his sides, but I give in and hug him back. For now, now I just have to get him to say never.

"Now let's go home." He says yawning. "By the time we get back it'll be morning anyways. We'll sleep on the train."

"Okay dad." he opens the door. "And dad," he looks at me. "Thanks." I say smiling. He grins back and leads the way. We walk past a couple nurses giving us strange looks; well we did just come out of the janitors' closet. When we walk into the waiting room everyone lets out a sigh of relief, that is except Haymitch. He just looks annoyed. "What the crap happened?" he screams. I just roll my eyes and walk towards the elevator. Dad can explain it, besides I'm getting tired anyways, I just hope I don't have another nightmare. We walk to the train while dad tells Caleb and Haymitch what happens. Mom just shuffles along. When we get on the train I collapse on the sofa and fall asleep.

I look around and see Mom sitting in a tree. She has bloody scars all over her face and torn clothes hanging off her body. She's breathing deeply, a look of rage in her eyes. I suddenly see dad come bursting into the clearing. Mom smirks and drops to the ground. She has a knife in each hand, dad has nothing. He backs up into a tree. Mom suddenly springs towards him and try's to pin him down. Dad tries to fight back, but she took him by surprise and he's down in no time. She raises the knife and I scream as she plunges it down.

"Rose!" dad screams in pain looking at me. "Rose!" I do nothing but scream, paralyzed in fear. I see Mom look at me. She gets up and walks towards me. My screams grow louder and louder until no sound comes out. "ROSE!" dad screams once more.

I sit up and realize I'm still silently screaming. My screams are replaced with whimpers. I feel myself drenched with sweat and look up. I see Dad right in front of me. I throw myself into his arms and cry. He rubs my back and whispers "It's okay. It wasn't real, it wasn't real." I take deep breaths and he sits next to me on the couch. Was I right to tell him not to do it?

~THG~
