The 71st Hunger Games - A Love Story COMPLETED

Chapter 30

[edited]

I got on the drone, and sat in silence. I couldn't cry. Jason didn't do anything. I don't know what I wanted him to do, but not this. When we got there, Han was there in here wheelchair. She was looking desperately for me, waiting hopelessly. I ran from the drone to into her arms. She held me tight. I can't think of what she would have been like if I had jumped from the drone like I had thought of. Why did I even think of that? I felt guilty. 

"Why the hell did you leave me?" She didn't remember Katniss coming in then.

"I don't know." I wheeled her around, I had to meet with President Coin about our failed mission and what we discovered, and I don't think it'll be much.  I made the way to her office, while planning what I was going to say. I would cover it up. It was harder with a wheelchair, everything had suddenly become smaller. It took a good twenty minutes longer. I entered awkwardly.

"Hello Aven." President Coin was sitting with six of my co-workers. I rolled Han into place beside a chair. They were hard. (That's what she said) "And Johanna." No expression on her face, but she knew it wasn't worth keeping her away, I would just tell her anyway. I tend to be a horrible secret keeper around Han. Otherwise, I was okay. 

"Welcome." President Coin said when the last people trickled in. We were all somber, except Han, who decided to put her hand in between my legs, and tickled me. I almost giggled.

"Well, Aven, go first, how did it start and end, why did you abort?" So someone told. Or she made a necklace for herself. Both, probably. 

I took a deep breath. "Well, we were all walking for a long time, we had enough water and food. We slept for 6 hours at a time. We reached it yesterday. I entered through a servant entrance, and  snuck in. I found his office, called for help with the entrance and Jason came. We went to the room beside it, but the walls were too thick, a guard almost caught us, and there were around 30 guards covering his office. It was too risky and we couldn't do it. So I called abort."

I would tell Han the truth... later. Maybe. I couldn't. She would never know. Would she? Does she need to know? It does nothing. It meant nothing, he was probably just horny and I was the first girl he saw. That's it. Right? 

"Thank you, Rose?" They didn't know I had missed a part. I had covered it up perfectly.

My co-workers went through their stories and they didn't find much except that there was no guards in one area of the halls. Jason mentioned nothing of it. I wheeled Han back and went to her room. She got a single room because she was sick. I told her everything about what happened, except for Jason. I felt like I couldn't tell.

No one would know. Ever. It didn't matter. 

Right?
