Melodies..

-Niall-

"I'm stuffed." I burp put loud, causing Eta to send me a disgusted glare.

"Manners, Niall." She warned, tapping her fingers on the cold, metal table.

We were at the dining hall of the floor, and a banquet was set before us. Lamb stew with mushroom sauce, steamed rice, bread rolls with butter, cream and corn soup. For dessert, they served us gelatin with sliced fruit, and yam with pineapple, a delicacy from China, Eta told me. After having 5 servings of the stew, 3 bread rolls, 2 cups of rice, and almost half of the gelatin and yam..

I still wasn't full.

"Bloody hell, Niall. Stop gobbling it all up." She groaned, burying her head in her hands. I understanded, she was tired and she needed rest, whereas I just need my food.

"Eta, why don't you just go back to your room and rest, call it a day. I'm not done here." I dabbed my lips with the cloth that was set first on my lap. I layed it on the table afterwards and drank the liquid from my glass.

"Why don't you rest too? It's gonna be a long day tomorrow. We'll meet our trainors and start sessions." Eta said as she stood up and walked back to her room.

As she left, I can't help but think about her, her attributes and her personality. Shy and innocent, she's smart and attractive as well. Her eyes are so hypnotizing, like a spinning wheel. She's also a little feisty, and I liked it.

But going back to District 11, Greta was there, waiting for me. She told me she loves me. She also kissed me. I like her so much, but she isn't here now.

I suddenly felt so homesick, I missed my mum and Dad, and my brother, who was probably in the fields right now, planting fruit seeds. I remember eating all of Greg's freshly harvested fruit, and Mum would scold me for eating it all.

"Niall Horan, where are your manners." My Mum reminded, pointing a finger at me.

"Sorry." I burped. "I can't help it." I smiled cheekily.

"Niall, in all honesty, I don't know where all that food goes." Greg chuckled, lightly slapping my back.

"It goes to my deep abyss." I joked, shoving another handful of blueberry into my stained mouth.

I leaned back and smiled at the jolly memories. It was so important to me, and I don't even know what my parents are feeling right now. Lonely? Pained? Sad? Do they even miss me? These have been wandering in my mind since I got on that bullet train, and I kept on hoping that they were okay.

"Birds in the morning sky," I started to sing. "They just keep on flying by.. Going nowhere but up and away, feeling safe and free everyday. Flocks with their own family, I need mine you see, just go back to my roots and let me be.." My voice cracked as I finished singing a song that I had came up when I was alone in my old room that I shared with Greg. Songwriting, it was something I really loved. I loved every single bit of it, it was a way of expressing my innermost thoughts, those that I couldn't say through words.

I pushed myself away from the table, feeling a little bit drowsy. I stood up and started to walk to my room, but I bumped into a lady.

"Oh, sorry." I smiled apologetically, but she just nodded.

"Don't you speak?" I joked, but she just shook her head. My smile faded away as I examined her properly.

An Avox.

And we weren't supposed to talk to them, right? Those were Capitol rules... But they were meant to be broken.

"I'm Niall." I took out my hand for her to shake, which she gladly did. "We could be friends?"

Her head snapped up, wide-eyed, looking at me. She was violently shaking her head, her red ponytail dancing about.

"Why not?" I frowned.

"Rules are rules, Niall."

I turned around to see Sheena Trix, her eyes narrowed at me and the Avox. She had her arms folded, and she was wearing a tight baby blue blazer and a baby blue skirt, whith her while heels and her hair was fluffed.

"What are you doing, Blaire? Off you trottle, now." She said in her usual chirpy voice.

I looked back at the Avox, Blaire, who simply nodded and walked away without giving me a second glance. I then turned back to Sheena.

"Why?" I asked.

She shrugged. "Why what?"

"Why did you send her away? I wanted to talk to her."

"Dearie, an Avox can't talk. Why bother talking to her if she isn't going to reply anyways?" Sheena snorted, slaping her hand on her thigh.

I simply glared at her, wondering how could she be so cruel to a helpless lady. an AVOX, to be precise. They shouldn't be locked up like that..

But I wasn't exactly the one to control the Capitol.

-Danielle-

"Baby blue, black lights, dancing in the dark..

Sunshine shining, it's breathtaking, there's a fire in my heart..

Quiet nights, alone in my room,

Listening to silence is the thing that I do,

Where's my lover right now?"

I was locked up in my own room, dancing to old songs that I did not know we, Peazers, owned, since music was banned from this District. I didn't know why, but I didn't care.

Dancing was something I kept away from my parents, they didn't like me engaging in arts, even in school. They forbade all Music classes in school, also art classes. It was horrible. I would complain to Mum about it, but they would just shoo me away. They didn't care about what I liked.

A perfect example is Liam.

Liam Payne.

I loved Liam, always have, always will. I remember meeting him for the first time, 3 years ago, he was covered in mud, and he bumped into me and knocked me down to the dirty ground. We clicked ever since. But, of course, my mum and dad didn't like him. They said he couldn't provide for me, he was too poor for THIER liking. They never thought about how I would feel if they took him away from me.

And this year's reaping just completely broke my heart.

I just found out about it when I heard my parents cackling about it all, when they said, finally, they'd get rid of Liam. when they found out that I visited him after, they locked me up in my room, and didn't let me go anywhere. The only time when they'd open the door was when they would give me food, which was only berries, cheese, and fresh bread from the bakery.

It was completely saddening, how my parents love their money more than me. They'd do anything to keep their positions as District mayor.

But right now, I didn't care about them anymore. Nothing else mattered.

Except Liam. MY Liam.

"Time flies by, where are you now..

Feel my heartbeat by a thousand miles.."
