Paths Crossed, Lives Divided (Harmony)

I swear my feet weren't touching the ground I was running so fast. Twigs and branches stung my face as i whiped by them. My heart was pounding like a steel drum and my breaths getting shorter and shorter. The Peacekeepers were after me and I know it. "Hey Stop you!" They had stopped following me at the tree line, but i wasn't too sure so I just kept running. The houses were getting smaller and sparser, the trees, plentiful and taller. I knew I was nearing the the end of the District. No one was around, and thank god for that. I can just hide out here by myself for a few hours.
My day had been interesting. My mom and dad had one of those rare fights where one of them leaves the house, being my mom. I could hear them from the storage room, where i was gathering food for lunch. It brought tears to my face. My dad said everything was going to be ok, but with te reaping nearing, nothing could be ok. I heard whimpering inside our house to find my little brother crying his eyes out. I comforted him and telling him also that everything was going to be ok, I told him I would go find mom. so I did. When I found her she was walking through town. I stopped her and asked her to come back because my brother was upset. She refused. I begged her and begged her to come back but she still refused, she said she was never going back. never? That was omething strong to digest. I yelled at her to go back, then came the peacekeepers to quite us down. I slapped my mom and started running, with peacekeepers at my tail. But they caught me that time.
They dragged me to the whipping post. No! No! No! I screaned nd cryed. I looked over to my mom, just staring at me with sad eyes and my handfrint on her cheek. She wasn;t even helping me. The peacekeepers tied me up and took out a whip. CRACK! Searing pain flew through my back and body. I could feel warm blood dripping down. That went one for another 2 or 3 cracks then i got free. I managed to wriggle loose and started running.
Root! I jumped over the root. Branch! I duck under the branch. Boy! Wait boy? I didn't jump, instead trip and fall face first on top of him.

I could feel tears coming, not only because I had just humiliated myself, but also because the adrenaline had started to subside and pain was making its way up my back. Quickly, I gathered myself and rolled off of the boy. He was kind of staring at me. I didn't care though because I had to focus on how I'm going to get home with a twisted ankle. It seemed he had noticed how long he was staring at me and introduced himself. "I-I'm Harmony, sorry for tripping over you, I didn't see you there." I stuttered in a painful voice. I studied him closer. He had amazing blue eyes and was very fit, he looked about my age! I tried to get up but my ankle wouldn't allow me too so I just sat down frustrated against a tree when my back started to burn, then I remembered the whip marks. So I just sat there awkwardly trying to hide the delicate tears making its way down my cheek.
