My knee hurted a lot.
I don't know what caused it but the medicine that I had didn't help me.
I couldn't go back from the island with that pain. Luckily I had supplies enough for 2 days because I got many sponsors.
There are 3 people left on the arena.
Felice, a girl from District 9 and me.
I had no doubt that Felice was the one who's living in the lighthouse. She and the careers. They could do a great job and at keeping people away.
From all 4 careers only she got left.
Earl died because of the Tracker Jackers, Tiana in the Bloodbath and I killed Ginger.
I looked at my spear.
I killed many people with it.
It's crazy that I have to sacrifice someone's life in order to see my kid.
The guilt and pain was running through my veins.
I wanted to scream and cry.

How did I deserve all the horrible things that happened to me?
How did I deserve my parents' death?
How did I deserve being raped in Hunger Games?

Do I really deserve this?

Something got me out of my thoughts.
The weather started getting colder and sky was turning grey.
The wind was blowing and it started to rain heavily.

The storm began. Thunders were appearing each minute.

I realized how lucky I am that I'm on this island. The thunder couldn't get me because I wasn't on any high ground. The only problem was water around me.
The wind was making the waves huge, all I could do was wait and hope that I'll survive.

A thunder hit the lighthouse.

A cannon fired.

I didn't hear the other cannon but I know it fired.
A wave washed washed me away from the island.
I was under water desperately trying to get out. I tried to swim but pain in my knee was too strong.
I didn't want it to be the end but there was no way out. I wanted to say to Rose that I love her for the last time but then everything went dark and I slowly went into unconsciousness.

...

I woke up in a white room.
I felt the tubes in my arms and a mask on my face that helped me breathe.

I was alive.

I tried to look around, I realized that I was in Capitol's hospital. I felt someone holding my hand.

It was Rose.

I have never felt more happy before. I would kiss her if not the tubes and mask.
"Rose..." I whispered.
She was smiling at me with tears in her eyes. Her smile was everything I could ever ask for.
"It's okay, Harvey." She said.
"What happened?" I asked.
"You did it. You won the 100th Hunger Games." She answered and gave me kiss on a check.
I couldn't believe it.
I actually won the games.
I won the 4th Quarter Quel.

I was happy because I will be able to see my child and marry Rose but what cost?
I killed people. 23 people had to die so I can be happy.

Do I deserve this?

Harvey end up living with Rose in Victory Village (just like Penelope and Tara). He stayed friends with Mona. Rose and him got married and had a daughter named Philippine. Harvey got very traumatized because of the games and kept having nightmares about them. Rose was very patient with him, she calmed him down every time he had a nightmare or a flashback and she was taking care of their daughter when Harvey was away after he became a mentor.
