As soon the ceremony over they took us to private rooms to say goodbye our family in friends for 3 min.
Will for me as soon I entered the room I lost it, I start crying & sobbing loudly , I kept muttering to myself “this is not happening , it can’t be ,no I don’t want this, WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!” and kept gasping and waiting for my family for three hours .
Finally my parents came “Patrick!” my mom hugged me tightly.
I said while still gasping “please do something, please I don’t want to go, please, please”
Mom: “am sorry am so sorry son, oh my god I can’t believe it”
Patrick: “NO! I WONT GO”
Dad: “Patrick please listen there is no time, you have to go the hunger games, and …”
Patrick: “NO, Bob should go he was chosen, this is not right”
Dad: “the carrier tribute is illegal, and the only reason we get away with it is our ties with the capital, your name got picked and no one volunteer and it was showing in a live camera am sorry we can’t do something about it but…. “
The peacemaker entered: “times up you have to leave” and he hold my parents arm to get them out just then my father took my hand and put a paper. And just like that am alone again.
Hayley came after and said its time to get to the train; I ride the car with her & vikki , Hayley was the only one who is talking, I looked at vikki and looks like something replaced that confident expression she had before which I can’t point what is it exactly .
We entered the train to start our journey to the capital, which is not my first time to go there I went with my dad and brother in few business trips to keep the ties going along with future changes
So am used to the luxuries interior and the room ways, just when Hayley was about to say something I interrupt wearily “where is my room?”
Hayley: “the one in the right, but wait lunch is ….” I made my way there ignoring what she was about to say.
As soon am in I lay in my bed staring at the roof, the train started to move, when I turned to lay in my right side I heard a rustling sound from my pocket then I remember my dad’s paper , I opened it was a letter ,
“Dear Son
Am writing you this as I know 3 minutes won’t be enough, hell even 10 hours wont.
I want you to know that am sorry I made a mistake, ever since you were a kid I didn’t care that you have to be the strongest or the smartest I only wanted you to be healthy and happy and always by my side, & that was wrong if I knew a day like that will come I would’ve pushed you to train but I never did, so I know that winning this game might be impossible but please do it for me,
I want you to win this one way or million other ,whether it’s right or wrong as long it will get you home then do it ,
Please keep this letter as your token for a constant reminder to not stop fighting and you are never alone in this
Me & all your family will make sure to help you in every way we can
Wish you good luck &Take care”
And that was the last straw for my day and another continuous weeping start all over again
