I apologize for not updating sooner. But here's your chapter!

-THG-

I dry my hair with a towel and change into dry clothes once I'm in my room. Dad made me go home as soon as he saw how soaked I was from the rain-he didn't want me tracking water throughout the whole bakery. And I didn't mind. I didn't feel like sitting in the bakery anymore anyways.

I walk downstairs and lay down on the couch. I'm alone right now. Dad's closing up the bakery and Mom's in the town with Caleb visiting Grandma. It's just me here. Roy and I agreed we would talk more later as soon as it stopped raining. I sigh and go to sit on the window chair. I rest my back against the wall and pull my knees up to my chest. I stare out the window at the downpour, and watch raindrops slide down the glass. It'll probably be raining for a while.

I still have a lot of questions unanswered. About what's real and what's not. What about that time when I saw Gale kiss my mom? Was that real? And what if my hallucinations get worse? What if they get so bad I can't even tell what's real anymore? What if one day it gets so bad I hurt someone I love? I put my head on my knees. I don't think I could handle it.

I don't understand why this had to happen to me. I didn't do anything to deserve this. I don't want to be like this anymore.

A loud ringing makes me jump out of my thoughts. I calm down once I realize it's just the telephone. I walk towards the phone, I'll just tell them to call later-that my parents aren't here. I pick it up, "Hello?" I say.

"Mrs. Mellark?" the voice says. "No it's me, Rose, my parents aren't at the house right now so you can call ba-"

"Rose its Dr. V." the voice says. It's the doctor from the capitol! Why is he calling? "Oh, hi Doctor, how are you?" I respond.

"Good, great actually. I have good news for you, it's urgent." he says quickly. I stand straighter. Good news? "What is it?"

"We think we've found the cure." he says. My jaw drops. What? But wait..."What about the cure you told us about before? And what do you mean by you think?"

"We are 80% positive we've found the cure-a new one. It's a completely different one. Now listen, there's no time to explain. According to my calculations the next train arrives in district 12 in 10 minutes. You need to get on the next train here as soon as possible, that is if you want to be treated as soon as possible. We'll explain more when you get here." There's no doubt, I want to be treated.

"O-okay." I say still in shock. "Good." he says. And then he hangs up. I'm left standing there for a moment until it kicks in. The train. We need to get on the next train. I put down the phone and immediately run outside, not caring about the rain. I nearly run mom and Caleb over coming down the side walk.

"Rose? Where are you going? What is it?" she asks studying my face. "We need to go we need to go to the train station. Now. They found a cure." I say quickly. She stares at me for a moment in shock. "The train leaves in 10 minutes mom we have to go. Caleb," I say turning to him, "you go get Haymitch. Mom you go get dad. I have to do something first."

They stare at me some more in shock before going their separate directions to follow my request. I run across the street to Roy's house.

I start knocking on the door loudly, and the door swings open. "What do you want?" Vibia hisses. I silently curse in my head. Not the person I want to see right now. "I need Roy Mrs. Hawthorne. I have to go somewhere and he's coming with me." I say deciding not to go into the story. There's no time for one and I'd rather not hear another rude remark from her. "No he-" she starts but I Interrupt her before she can finish, "I'm not leaving without him." I say staring her in the eyes.

"He's not going anywhere." she says glaring at me. I sigh, I don't have time for this. The train is coming any minute. "ROY!" I scream as loud as I can into the house. Vibia starts to shut the door in my face but Roy shows up just in time. "What's going on?" he asks looking back and forth between us.

"Roy I need you to come with me, I have to go to the capitol again and I'm not leaving without you." I say looking at him with pleading eyes. He looks at his glaring mom, but in one movement steps past her into the rain with me. "Let's go." he says without questioning it. I smile slightly then start running with him trailing behind me, I can hear his mom screaming faintly, but I ignore it.

Once we finally make it to the train station Mom, Dad, Caleb, and Haymitch are already there waiting for us. "Why'd you bring him?" Haymitch asks nodding towards Roy. "Because If I have to go to the capitol hospital again, I'd rather him come with me instead of him not knowing what's going on." I say rolling my eyes at him. No one says anything else to me.

We made it just in time, the train rolls in right when I finish talking. We all board onto the train making our way to a separate room. Once we finally find our room we all collapse in chairs and couches scattered about the room. Haymitch is the first to talk. "Now can you explain why I'm being dragged out here again? Something to do with you I'm guessing." he says motioning towards me.

I explain to them everything the doctor told me, and by the time I'm finished talking everyone starts asking questions at once.

"What are the side effects?"

"80% sure what about the other 20%?"

"Why did you decide to get on THIS train?"

"I don't have all the answers!" I yell. "The doctor said he would explain everything when we get there. No until then why don't we all just relax." I say looking at everyone. After that they all decide to sit quietly, leaving me alone.

I lay down on the couch I'm sitting on and listen to the sound of the train against the tracks as I slowly fall asleep.
