Chapter 19

I was starstruck. I stood there for a minute, its not possible he’s alive. I saw him die. Then he started walking towards me. I didn’t care if it was real or fake. I ran towards him and practicly jumped on top of him.

He hugged tighter than my mom did when she first saw me. I knew it was real when I felt his warmth. I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

“I thought you were dead!” I said, crying of happieness.

“They made a mistake. They thought I was dead.. Turns out I wasn’t. they didn’t want anyone finding it out so they covered it up. I missed you so much!”

“I did too! I love you!” I yelled and hugged him again.

“Me, too!” he said. “ I also never have met your mom before. I thought that you would want to introduce me so I told Marina to tell her I didn’t want to meet her until you were there.”

When I let go I didn’t let go of his hand and pulled him so fast down the stairs he almost fell. I told everyone they could come in and made my mom sit down on the couch.

“Mom, this is Rode.” I said still holding his hand.

“Well, hello Rode. I think you will be lovely for my daughter.” My mother said.

“Its so nice to meet you. From what I’ve heard about you, you seem very nice and wise. I have a lot of respect and love for your daughter and I would hope that you would let me date her.”

“Since you seem like such a nice young man, I will allow you to do so.” She smiled and went and gave him a hug.

He hugged her back and smiled at me. I looked at my new clock and it was really late. 12 o’clock.

“I’m tired.” I said, not wanting to go to bed becase I didn’t want to leave Rode.

“Go to bed, and you can come over to my house and eat breakfast. Unless, of course, your mother wants you to eat breakfast with her.” He looked at her as if her asked her a question.

“No, go ahead, meet the family, we’ll have lunch together.” She said. I nodded. He kissed me on the cheek and walked out the door. I bid my mom a good night and walked up the stairs.

I got to my room and climed into bed. I thought over this new surprise. Here I thought this boy who saved my life about 3 times was dead but it turns out he’s alive and loves me more than ever. I won the Hunger Games and was rewarded with the boy I loved. I had missed him, cryed over him, and went into deppression over him. Now, he was here and I could see him whenever I wanted.

I fell asleep and dreamed of my family at dinner with one extra family. Rode’s. We were all laughing and joking. It seemed nice. That is what it is going to be like.

I woke up in the morning and looked through my closet. I found a simple faded yellow dress and tied it. I walked out the door.
