Goodbyes P3 10-12

Haylo Molto Ranons D10M 12

I don't know what to do now. I am ushered into this room to say goodbyes I guess, and I feel worry start to set on me. The girl who volunteered was wearing a freaking skull hat. District 10 hasn't had anybody win the games yet, so our silly escort is gonna get me through the games. All the cards seem stacked against me and with me being so young I feel like a panic attack coming on to me.

The only thing that calms me down is my parents running into the room and pulling me into a big hug. I don't cry though like I see they instantly start doing. I have always been the strong one and I'm not gonna disappoint them. If I die I want them to remember happy Haylo, not sad Haylo. I can do this for them, I can be strong for them one last time. They soon get escorted out and I decided that if I am going to die then I am gonna enjoy the capitol to the best of my ability. I am soon interrupted of my thought with my brother and sister with my best friend, my dog, Chip.

I am ecstatic I get to see them all before I go. My brother seems like he feels bad for not volunteering so he just gives me a hug and lets himself out of the room. My sister gives me a hug and a kiss on the forehead. Chip jumps on me fully and licks me all over. I give him a big hug and tells my sister to take care of him when I am gone.

I know Chip is old so maybe if I die, I will see him again soon if he dies. I'm not sure if this is possible but that is what is going to get me through the games. Be able to see Chip again, one way or another.

Uriah Winter D11M 13

I am still taken aback with how the reaping went. My name was in there twice and I got reaped. Luke was still screaming as I went to the stage. Besides Luke not taking it very well the girl I am reaped with is one of the kindest people in the whole district. I recognize her from around the town. She goes to the elementary schools a lot and helps the kids with reading. Two nice and harmless people from 11? That can't end well for us.

Then my mind changes to the idea that I won't able to do what I want to do when I get older. I can't make 11 any better than it is now. I can't run for mayor or I can never fully finish learning piano. I start to make myself upset by thinking about it until my family comes in a says goodbye to me. I don't expect too many visitors after my family. They come in and we do a group cry of sorts and I get a lot of squeezes and kisses which I happily accept at this point in time. I start wiping my face whenever they are escorted out of the room. If I get moved to the train soon, I can't show everyone I am a cry baby, those tributes never last very long.

After they leave Luke comes in hugs me. We don't show affection really ever, but I think this is an exception.

We kind of just sit around until Luke says "I'm the dumb one, I should've volunteered, you're supposed to mayor one day."

I look at him puzzled then I say, "Luke you're my best friend, I want you to be safe, I would be so mad if you volunteered, it's my bad luck, not yours."

When I say this, his gaze shifts downwards, and I pull him into one last hug before he is forced to leave. I know I am going to miss him. He's my best friend and I might never be able to see him again.

Annie Gris D12F 15

I am ushered into the justice building by the peacekeepers after the reaping. Oh shoot, I'm going into the games. The thought hits me late and I am taken aback by this thought when I am in the room myself. I then start to feel sad for my parents, I am an only child so if I don't come home then it will be empty at the shop.

Then this thought leads me to more sad thoughts about Hazel and how she'd stay afloat. I am starting to feel very overwhelmed until my mom and dad run into the room and hug me. I've never seen my parents cry like this before and it isn't helping my spirits and confidence. My parents don't even tell me to promise them anything. It seems like they don't have much faith in me either. It makes me feel discouraged but when Hazel come in I start feeling a little better.

She hugs me and we sulk in each other for a bit. We always had a knack of making each other feel better without having to say a word. She smiles and says "Hey Annie, I love you and I'm so grateful that you've been a part of life up until now." I start crying hard now. I just lose it. She loses it too and it isn't a pretty sight.

The peacekeepers come in a start to escort out. It was the head peacekeeper Alta. I know her personally so I can see the pain on her face when she has to escort Hazel out of the room. Oh boy, it seems like confidence around 12 for me is at an all time low. Great, these games are going to suck.

Hey all! Thanks for everyone being so welcoming and kind. It has been really helpful to get me going again. It's much appreciated! Anyways everyone let me know what you all think about the Goodbyes and let me know who intrigues you! Like always keep updating and the trainrides are coming soon! P.S. Sponsorship points are updated. Until Next Time.
