I wake up four later from a knock on my door.its soft and nearly silent.i find my robe and walk over to the door.i find Rue standing there with tears streaming down her face.i hug her and suggest we go to the roof top.we both sit down by a ledge that over looks the Capitol."I wish I could go home",she says threw her sobs.i don't know what to say."it's ok,we will be ok" I try and fail to calm her down."I miss my family,I miss my old life" she says after a little bit of crying.i hug her and say quietly,"I do too"."she wipes tears from her cheeks and frowns,"sorry that I have been selfish.i forgot that everyone else must be going threw the same thing"."it's fine really..." I say "What can I do to make you feel better?".i have never been like this.trying so hard to make someone feel good.well not since my sister left."can you sing?" she looks up at me with sparkling eyes,wet from her tears."of course"I try to find a song in my head.i haven't sang since Katniss left.i find one and start to sing softly,"Deep in the meadow,under the willow.A bed of grass a soft green pillow."then she joins in,"lay down your head and close your sleepy eyes.when they open the sun will rise".she smiles at me,"thank you.my Mom used to sing me that when I was little." I smile and remember Katniss would sing it to me when I had a bad dream.i hug her then she says,"thank you for wearing your bracelet"."I'm gonna wear it as my district token.so I will always have it"I say looking at the knotted piece of rope."I better get some sleep.tomorrow is gonna be a big day" she says as she gets up.i tell her goodnight and look out at the city.
