Jane's Pov

well, thankfully i dont have to wear the heels and rediculous dress for long, since it was just for a short tv appearance, im not sure what for though, all they had me do was pose in front of a camera. Whatever, i guess the Capitol wants to see me wear stupid clothes. 

The Victory Tour starts in district 11, i didnt know anyone from 11, but my heart still breaks to think that these tributes parents lost a child, their brothers and sisters lost their sibling. what did the capitol lose? nothing, these poor children were nothing to the capitol. 

i'm wearing a dark blue dress made of thick shiny material, very similar to the sparkly sliver dress. no heels this time, just matching flats, thank god. i give the standard speech, and leave, the next day i go to district 10, wearing something very similar to what i wore in eleven, give the standar speech, then leave, go to 9...you get the idea. 

the tour ends in 12, they have the same stage from the reaping set up in the square. it's nice to be back home, living on a train for a while was cool, but i missed my parents. i'm wearing a long black dress, and a flowy dark gray cardigan. instead of the usual curls, my hair is pulled back into a sleek bun. im wearing heels again, but these are a wedge, so i can keep my balance better. 

Effie's written what im supposed to say on note cards, but i didnt read them, and i didnt take them on stage. ive been biting my tongue and doing what ive been told the entire tour, but not anymore. this was for me, and i was going to say what i wanted. 

*-*-*-*-*-*-*

i am the only one on the stage. everyone is gathered in the square, wearing the same clothes they probably wore for the reaping. i remember Charlie, and how he was nervous the morining of the reaping. I remember my name being called,then standing beside Effie Trinket and hearing Charlie's name called. i zone out, and my breathing is the only thing audible. i am pulled back into reality when i feel cool wind on my face. i didnt prepare anything to say, time to wing it. 

"um, Hello district 12...my name is Jane Walker, and i am the winner of the 73rd Hunger Games, but you all know that already" i hear a few people giggle, which is okay. it's good to laugh, even in serious times. "i won the games, but at a cost. i lost my younger brother, Charlie, in the arena. i loved him very much, and i was absolutely heartbroken when i lost him. I would give anything to have him here on this stage today instead of me, but there is nothing i can do to have him back. That being said, i am very thankful i am able to live my new and wonderful life, but every day of this new and wonderful life is a day without Charlie." 

i pause, and catch my breath. i can feel tears coming, and i need to take a moment to calm myself down. i close my eyes and take a deep breath. 

"Charlie was very young, and he had his whole life ahead of him. i am able to live the life that should have been his, and i consider this in everything that i do. Charlie is with my in everything that i do, and i know that he wil never be forgotten." i pause to see the reaction, mostly everyone is silent. i see Effie, stading to the side of the stage looking absolutley mortified "Thank you district 12"
