I Can't (A Hunger Games Fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty-Four: 'Just Leaving'

I suddenly hear footsteps and turn to see Aaron. "What did I miss?" he asks. I scramble to my feet.

"Just talking, but I was just leaving," I say.

Aaron gives a small laugh. "I'll just leave you two to 'leaving'," he says and walks away.

I turn back to Jon and he sighs. "Told you so," he says swiftly and I roll my eyes.

"I'm not doing it."

"Your lost."

"Why?"

"Because he is a nice guy."

"Well, I'm going to die anyway."

"He's going to die anyway." I fold my arms and walk away with a huff.

****

I sit in a corner and stare at the wall. Everyone-except Aaron and I-have fallen asleep about an hour ago. I look over where Aaron at for the second time in half a minute. He stares at me like there's nothing else better to do.

"What?" I finally ask.

"I thought I told you," he answers.

"That's a lie because I'm not pretty." Aaron laughs. "What's so funny?"

"You seriously think so?"

"Yea. Do you have a problem with that?"

"Who told you that?"

"Myself."

Aaron sighs. "You compare yourself to everyone about not being tall enough and things like that, but you can't see the good things. You're pretty, smart, caring, and I'll have to admit stubborn." I roll my eyes.

"Thank you for telling me nothing important and lies," I answer sadly.

"I wasn't lying."

"Of course you weren't." There was suddenly a noise.

(A/N: What's the noise? Do you think it's others attacking? Or maybe someone's waking up? Find out in the next update.)
