♡︎chapter 2♡︎ our goodbyes

We were escorted into the room, as the doors shut I could hear the applauses from everyone in district 1. I don't know wether to feel glad or sad. This is what I wanted but yet why is everyone cheering. I mean I guess the whole point is to show people who is in control and everyone but yet I don't feel as happy as I should be.

I stood there with Marvel for what felt like forever until some peacekeepers came. I already knew that after the reaping we would be able to say goodbye to our families and loved ones. I don't necessarily want to say goodbye to family. Not because I don't want to say goodbye while fearing that I'll never see them again but for some reason because they never cared.

It's true, if I have to be honest. I can't even seem to remember the last time I was showed and real affection from my parents. It was only when we would be on tv or anything like that, that they would act all kind in loving but they never really weren't.

We are asked by the peacekeepers to have a seat on one of the chairs. I mean I didn't really feel like sitting down we didn't have much of a choice. It was just marvel and I waiting in the room, with of course the exception of the peacekeepers around us. I decided it would be better for me to stay quiet since I know that there are for sure cameras.

I can't exactly be sure but I believe it was around 10 minutes that past that the peacekeepers called our names. "Marvel." I heard the peacekeeper say. He got up and was directed to another room where I would have to assume he would say his goodbyes because not even a minute later I hear my name called "Y/n." I put on a fake smile.

I walked into the rooms where I saw my parents and that's when they began. "Oh Y/n how we will miss you." My mother began. "We know this may be hard but we believe in you and we taught you everything you should know." My father added. I'll try my best for you guys and district 1.

I mean of course if I win it wouldn't be for district 1, but I know how advanced everything is and how they are probably monitoring us which means that I have to be cared with what I say. We only get 5 minutes per visitors but both of our parents have to go together. We were aloud to have a max of 3 visitors so it wouldn't take up more that 15 minutes.

The whole time they we're talking about how much they love me and how much they care about me and are proud of me and that they hope I can make them proud and dumb stuff. I guess I felt like I didn't have a choice so I agreed with them and at one point I could notice that my mothers eyes would start to get watery.
After the 5 minutes have passed I didn't think would have any more visitors but I did.

Stacy

Stacy, the girl I had volunteered for. I could feel my heart sink as I could distinguish her more, she looked even more frail and afraid. "Y-Y/n right?" I gave her a smile as I replied, yeah that's right. "Thank you." I could hear her voice shaky and she'd eyes red. If looked like she was about the cry once again. You don't have to thank me, I did it because I wanted to. "Y-yes but still I was very scared I-I was very-" I cut her off. You don't have to e scared. You are safe now and nothing will harm you, okay?" I reassured her. "Oh okay." She said a bit my better than before but her voice still was shaky.

We talked for the remainder of the time, although I didn't know her all I felt like I could do was reassure her she was safe now. As we were talking a peacekeeper announced. "Times up." As I was about to walk away I heard her voice. "Can you promise me you will win, at least try?" I was feeling pressured to agree to her promise, so I did. I turned back. "I promised Stacy." She gave me a hug which I gladly returned back. Maybe this will be a reason I actually try.
