Chapter 8- Moody

Chapter 8- Moody

Shane's POV

I didn't care that it was night. I walk straight up to Chad's room and banged on his door.

Chad: What do you- Shane?

Shane: Something horrible just happened!

Chad: Will this effect the plan?

Shane: It affects everything!

I burst into tears. It just hit me. Joey hates me and we broke up...

Again.

He pulls me into his room making sure we aren't being watched.

Shane: We broke up!

Chad: Why?

Shane: I had to hide the plan from him. I told him to trust me but he just got mad. Then he kicked me out and slapped me.

I place my hand gently on the cheek he hit. It still stung.

Chad: You need to do something.

Shane: I can't!

Chad: Try! You're screwing up the fricken plan!

Shane: I-

I gave in. I need to try. If I didn't we'd both die. I nod.

Chad: I'm sorry for being so harsh. Trust me I know how hard love is.

Shane: Really? You have a girlfriend?

Chad: Yeah. Her name's Angie. We both thought I'd die in the Games. She told me to try my best and that she loved me. And she was the thing that motivated me to keep fighting.

Shane: And then you won.

Chad: Yes. And we dated for a few more years-

I smiled.

Shane: And that's when you proposed.

Chad: Keep fighting Shane. So you can get there.

Shane: I will and Angie sounds lovely.

I walk out and I hear Chad whisper to himself.

Chad: Yeah, she is.

I smile again and walk back to my room. I slow down and come to a complete stop between our doors. My smile fades and a tear slides down my cheek.

Shane: I wish I could be honest with you Joey. But you would just screw everything up. I'm only trying to protect you.

Joey's POV

I walk closer to the door and pressed my ear against it...

What does he mean by that?

Protect me?

I'd screw everything up?

Shane: I love you Joey.

I hear his door shut softly. My head starts spinning. I fall back onto my bed. Today had been confusing.

Shane's POV

Each time Sam or Chad knocked on my door I sunk further into my bed. I just had this sudden wave of depression flow over me. I couldn't help it.

Chad: Last chance. Training starts soon!

Shane: Leave me alone!

Joey's POV

Joey: What's his problem?

Chad: He-

He looks at me then turns the other way. What is up with them? Maybe it's my fault.

Joey: Was it me?

Chad: Honestly, yes.

He banged on the door again.

Chad: Open the door now or we will have to get the Peacekeepers!

Shane: I'm not leaving this spot!

Chad: Shane, the Capital is mad enough at you already.

Shane: Like I care!

Chad: What happened to what we talked about last night?

They talked last night? About what? About me? Did I really hurt Shane?

I didn't mean to. I thought he was being a jerk and hiding secrets from me. I guess I was wrong.

I push past Chad and knock on the door.

Joey: Can we talk?

Shane: No! I don't even want to look at you!

Shane's POV

And now I was angry. I don't even know why I'm so moody.

Joey: Please?

What the f*ck else did he need to say?!

I threw my face into a pillow and screamed. I just wanna punch something. Maybe training will help...
