Jason's POV

I wait in my room, for a sound, a noise yet nothing to be heard. Everyone's back and here so why aren't they talking? I question myself. They must be all in their rooms or something. I stand up silently and walk over to my door and open it quietly not wanting to disturb anyone here. I don't think there is anyone here.

I walk out to see them all gathered by the TV looking at I think what's suppost to be Caesar flicker man I think, I don't really know well what he looks like but I know he always powders his hair with different colors and he is a interviewer.

Suddenly he brings up scores and starts naming tributes one by one.

First he starts off with district 1.

Rhine got a 8 and amber got a 9.

Crone gets a 10 and so does hazel.

I glance out the window and see small flakes coming down outside. When I turn back to the TV, their on district 5.

Luke got a 9, Quinn got an 7 and Annalee got a six. A single tear rolls down my cheek, I feel so bad for Annalee, she probably did a great job, I imagine the hurt expression on her face as sobs in her hands. Now their on district 11 witch is us. Autumn gets a 6 and I get a 12. Oh my god I did horrabl- Omg did I really get a 12?! I didn't even think I did very well. I look back at the TV and see district 12's up. Thalia got a 9 and Bryce got 7. And last but not least Dawn got a 8 and Cole got a 7.

I stand there silently, in shock. Hearing the number over and over in my head. It repeats in my head until I realize I should go to the table. As I walk over, I see everyone saying "congratulations!" as they pass me to the table. I take a seat next to my escort Clarise.

I look around and see a bunch of different colors on the table, I grab what I can fit on my plate and once I see my plate is full, I scan it to see what I have. I've got a type of rice with a sauce that's a mix of red and orange with some chicken, a little bit of some pasta with some sort of red sauce that smells like a tomato (I should know considering my job is cropping and gathering food), I've got a chicken leg that's covered in grease and budder with makes it look even more delicious, some fried vegetables and some rolls that were just made.

I look at my food, my mouth watering at the amazing site. The steam rolling off my food makes it look even more appetizing.

"Are you gonna just sit there or eat it?" my escort Clairise asks me with a smile and a fork in her hands as she points my food.

I look at the food before I start gobbling down every last bit. Each bite I take takes so different yet so amazing. the second I finish I feel like I've only had half of what I just ate so I reach for a cheese bun but my hand is stopped by my Clairise.

"Jason! don't eat too much! you need to save room for dessert" Clairise squeaks.

I roll my eyes as I put my hand back to my side.

"Oh c'mon just let him" my mentor Tyai says as he hands the cheese bun to me. I take it and give him a thankful smile and start to nibble on it.

"Don't blame me if he get sick" Clairise says childishly at him.

"Well their gonna be going into the hunger games and be starving so they can stuff their faces for all I care" he snaps.

My stylist Blair steps in and stops the fight by saying "why don't we have some desert?".

We all reach all over the table grabbing foods that looked appetizing and good.

I look down at my plate and see some chocolate strawberries, a piece of pie, some ice cream and some fruit.

I start eating the delicious food in front of me, liking every bite.

I look up and catch autumn looking at me.

"What!" I say fiercely.

"Look if you hate me this much then just kill me in the arena for all I care!" I yell, she looks as like shes full of fear considering I got a 12 and she got a 6.

I realize I'm in public when I look around and see everyone starring at me in shock. I walk away feeling mad and a little embarrassed.

I run away to my room and lie in bed motionless just starting at the ceiling. Until I hear the sound of the door opening but I still lie there motionless and not caring who it is. I see a slight streak of red and know its autumn. She leans over but doesn't say a word, just stares at me.

"Why are you acting like this?" She questions me.

I sit up in my bed and look at her as if she's crazy.

"Because! Without you in my life, I'm nothing to nobody. My parents were happy to see me leave, They just packed my bags and started to celebrate that I finally left!" I say almost yelling but mot wanting anyone else to come in so I quiet down a bit but still have my voice full of anger.

"You were the only thing good in my life! You were the one who keep me feeling happy! now that your out of my life, it's like I don't have one, like if I go die no one would care!" I say as I continue with my voice still full of anger and fury.

"Jason don't say that" she says while she puts her hand my cheek but I push it away.

"I just want the old autumn back" I say with sadness in my voice.

A single tear falls down her cheek. Then she looks back up at me.

"I want that too, I want to be with you, pretending not to love you was the worst thing I've ever done, but I can't stand that girl, Dawn" she says as she places her hand back on my cheek.

"Fine, ill try and find you at the cornucopia but if I cant ill look for you in the arena no matter what, I just need to be with you" I say with a smile on my face.

She smiles right back at me and I put my hand on her cheek too. We both just stare until I lean into a kiss.

I close my eyes as we kiss, I think to myself I've got autumn back. The kiss makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I feel like the happiest person in the world. The kiss lasted about 5 seconds till she pulled away.

We release the kiss and she smiles, then I smiled back at her, then I lay back down in bed and she lays beside me and puts her head on my chest where we both instantly fall asleep.

One of the one last things I hear before I fall asleep is autumn say one last thing "I love you" and I say "I love you too" before I fall asleep.
