I'm running. I'm running to Emeralds not even caring if anyone takes me. This is a mandatory viewing, if a peacekeeper sees that I'm not watching it, I can be arrested. But I don't care. As I reach Emeralds house, I rap on the door till my fist pretty much breaks through. She isn't answering. "EMERALD IT'S LILLIE" I yell as loud as I dare. The door creeks open and she pulls me inside. "What are you doing? You could get arrested" she hisses. "I don't care" I have to stop talking for a moment to let my throat let out what I was holding in "I needed to see you" I say before completely losing it. Emerald pulls me into her arms and now I'm sobbing. She has always been the strong one out of the two of us. I see that her mother and father are sitting there, watching us. "Hello Lillie" they say almost in unison. "Come on" Emerald says, "lets go to my room." As soon as she closes the door behind us, she lets it all out. Now we're both sobbing into each others arms. Because we both know that in one week either of us could be sent away forever. "How could they do this to us, after we've already been through so much" she says between sobs. "I don't know, I don't know Emerald, I just don't know" I say trying to hold back as many tears as I can, their are to many, and i'm sobbing again in a minuet. In about a half hour, we are still crying and haven't said another word. Her parents come and knock on the door, but she just shoos them away the best she can trying not to sound that she's been crying. My mother comes into the house, at least, I think it's her. In another hour, I don't think I can shed another tear the rest of my life, and when I finish drying my eyes, Emerald stops crying as well and we just sit there for a while. "Do you know what the rules of the reaping are?" Emerald asks once we've calmed down. "No. I ran away before I got the chance" I say back. That's when I realize, how am I supposed to know what to do? "I'm sure your mom and my parents will know" she says to me. "Are you worried?" I ask, although I already know the definite answer is yes "of course, I wouldn't have been crying if I wasn't" Emerald answers. Then, with no communication, we both stand up and walk back to where my mom and her parents have been waiting for at least an hour.
A/N thank you all so much for reading this. This is the first fan-fiction I have written and I'm so grateful to anyone and everyone who has read this. If you have any suggestions about my story or my writing you're welcome to share, I'm also really sorry about the super short chapter but the reaping will happen soon.
