I Can't (A Hunger Games Fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty-One: The Healer's Touch

Aaron finally steps inside the cave. "Why is Sarah crying?" he asks.

"It's about a story Sarah asked me to tell her," I answer.

"About what?"

"When my father was taken by the Capitol." He stares at me for a moment. Suddenly, someone hides me in an embrace. The person's arms are warm, almost relaxing me instantly and I smell the hint of nature behind vanilla. I look up at the person. Aaron.

I quickly push myself away from him. "Sorry. You just looked like you needed a hug," he says and walks away.

I look back at Sarah, who gives me that I-told-you-so look. I roll my eyes and sigh.

(A/N: Sorry it's short, but it's kind of a big part. I won't tell you, but you'll know why soon enough. -Bye for now, Tributes.)
