The rise of Panem

Chapter 60

Before I could blink, my head falls into my pillow and starts crying. I smash my phone on the counter, never wanting to see it again. That's when Riker walks through the door. He crawls into bed with me, and sighs. I curl next to him and sob into his chest. He strokes my hair and calms me down. I look up at him and see his beautiful eyes staring at me. "Everything is going to be okay, whatever happened," he said. I can't believe Liam committed suicede. I guess we did have an infinity.

Soon, I was loaded on the hovercraft, still thinking about Liam. Riker was staring at me, like he was lovesick. Then, a tall women, holding something that terrified me. "Tracker," she said. I kicked my fears out of the hovercraft and gave her my arm. She stick the thingie into my arm, and pushed it in. I pushed out a scream, because it hurt. My head fell on Rikers shoulder, as he started petting it. "Your safe," he said. As the hovercraft lifted into the air, I threw my body into Riker and put my arms around him. He surrounded me with his arms. I sighed as I looked up an stared into his eyes. We cuddled until the hovercraft landed.

We were then in the underground chambers. We have a few minutes until we went into our tubes. Remembering Liam, I almost cried, but instead, I made my lips crash into Riker. He at first looks shocked, that I was dating Liam, until he started to kiss me back. My hands release the sweat and nervousness and wrap them around his neck. This felt like Liam's kiss, warm, soothing, and worry free and beautiful. My eyes fluttered shut, while we kepts kissing. My third boyfriend since the concert. When we finally stopped, Riker looked down on me. "Don't apologize," he said remembering he wanted to date me. He leaned in to kiss me, until the computer voice said we have 10 seconds till launch. I take a deep breath and enter the tube, as it traps me in. Riker runs to the tube and throws his hands on it, as it starting lifting me in the air. I felt water fall onto my knee, realizing that it was my tears. I kept looking down on Riker as I went into the arena. Caleb was on one side of me and Julissa was on the other side of me. After ten seconds of looking, I realized we were on the top of a mountain, with trees on the bottom with snow on the trees. The golden horn was in the middle surrounded by weapons. My breaths were fast and not calm, almost not really breaths.

And that's when the gong sounded, telling us the games were starting.
