Chapter 6- Capital

Chapter 6- Capital

Joey's POV

Chad and Shane sit down at the table and join us to eat. Shane sits down next to and takes my hand under the table. I'm a bit suspicious.

Joey: Where were you guys?

Sam: Yes. Where were you two?

Sam glared at Chad. Chad put his hands up in defense.

Chad: Sorry to mess up your schedule but we were doing something important.

Sam: It better have been a matter of life and death!

Shane: It was...

We all looked at Shane who ignored us and looked down. I look away and day dream for a bit. Then I felt Shane tugging on my arm.

Shane: Joey?

Joey: Huh?

Shane: Let's go.

I nod and get up. I follow him to his room. We sit down on his bed.

Joey: So how will we find each other?

Shane: We're meeting up at the Cornucopia.

I stay quiet and play with my shirt sleeve. Then Shane grabs my wrist and pushes up my sleeve.

Shane: Joey? What's this?

I giggle and bit before taking it off and handing it to him.

Shane: It says... Shoey. Did you like obsess over me?

Joey: No! Brittany gave it to me before the first time we entered the Games.

Shane: Ok. A bit less creepy.

We both laughed before he slipped the bracelet back on my wrist. I fixed my sleeve and laid back onto his bed.

Shane: Just get comfortable! On MY bed!

Joey: Ok!

I giggle and he starts tickling me. I beg him to stop. Eventually I roll off the bed and land on the floor.

Joey: Ow!

Shane: This is my bed bitch!

We both laugh and he lifts me back onto the bed. I lay next to him.

Joey: Any other plans for the Arena?

Shane: Never leave your sight.

He traced the scar on my chest. I shivered slightly remembering what happened last time. I nodded in agreement.

Shane: Don't get yourself into more than you can handle. Seriously. These people are experienced.

Joey: I'll try.

Shane: Seriously Joey.

I rolled over and faced. He was serious. I sigh.

Joey: Ok. I'll be careful.

He smiles at me then closes his eyes. I take the hint and join him.

*Two days later*

Sam: Get up boys! We're in the Capital!

I open my eyes and meet Shane's. They're filled with worries. I lean in and kiss him. I pull back and he seems much happier. I smile and drag him out of the bed. We get dressed and run to the dining cart. We look out the window and she tons of people from the Capital. I took Shane's hand. He kissed my cheek just like last time. I turned and smiled at him.

This time might be better.
