"Jo."

"Pandora...Hi, uh morning"

"I just wanna apologise. I can't just uh..I can't just say that you were lying with no proof"

Jo smiles "Thank you for uh understanding"

"I get that Barty can be a little bit..full on and there's probably more to it"

"Hm..Full on? Yeah I'd agree with that he did try and finger me at dinner one time"

"He what?...see that I can actually belive" she scoffs "I was so silly..I know him and how he acts" she smiles,biting the inside of her cheek "He did really like you"

"Mhm"

"I mean it Jo. He did"

"He has a weird way of showing that he does because rape is not love."

"That's a strong word Jo"

"Yeah well it's what happened. Even if he's your friend you must be able to see that this is wrong."

"I think Josette. You should go a walk and come back with a brighter attitude"

"I'm sorry that I'm seeing it as it is Panda. But you didn't go through it, you don't get a say in any of this."

"Doors there, be back by five for dinner"

"Yous can eat without me." Jo puts her jacket on "Josette, please join us for dinner, we can't get over it if we don't talk about it"
"I think you'll find I said eat without me." She slams the door shut and walks down the hall of the penthouse apartment.

As she walks out the apartment she runs into Regulus "hey, you alright?"
"Yeah..what are you doing here?"
"Trying to take my girlfriend out."
"That's cute, I wish you luck. She is a special girl" regulus nods "I know."

"So where are you off to?"

"I'm not sure really..Got told to have a walk and come back with a brighter attitude"

"Pandora?"

"Yep.
Hey I might go to the hospital ask B about some pregnancy stuff"

"Yeah, that sounds good,have fun"

"You too lover boy" she winks and counties walking.

Another baby at such a young age.
Wow.
Eighteen and baby two is on the way.

She walks into the hospital and tries to talks to the receptionist "um..Hello? Excuse me..." patched,ignored.

She groans and tries again "Hello Miss?"

"Josette?"

She turns her head and sighs with a smile at the sight of Brittney holding a folder "B I am so happy to see you" Jo says as she starts walking over to Brittney.
"What are you doing here?" She asks as she hugs Jo "I was hoping to talk to you, you free?"

"I am actually yes. Come to my office"

"Alrighty."

Brittney leads the way "Sorry about the ladies at the front there rude..And you're a district girl" she says with a soft smile opening a door "ladies first" Brittney jokes and stands aside letting Jo in.

Jo sits on a chair and Brittney plops down onto one behind her desk "Why does it matter that I'm a district girl? I've been here for over a year"
"They don't want you here...Many people believe that you and the others should go back to where yous came from"

Jo frowns,she wants more than anything to go back. But it hurts that people think that.

"You don't think like that though do you?" Jo asks and Brittney shakes her head "of course not. Most district people are nicer then anyone I've met at the Capitol" Jo smiles at her "That's sweet"
