He's not happy about it, but his mom clearly didn't give him an option. I heard it when they turned their backs - as if not being able to see them say it hurt any less. "I'm not taking care of him. Fuck no." He whispered, harsh, hot-paced words. The air was cold, and the wind was sharp against my cheek like a knife.

"Does it look like you've got the damn choice?" Pause. "He's right fuckin' there, you idiot! We can't just toss him back out!" She speaks like I can't hear her. I wish I couldn't.

"Well-" whatever was about to come out of his mouth was cut short - hand met cheek.

Luckily enough, the Village has few neighbors to overhear the commotion. We'd be the talk of the town if we were still in the Rows. My teeth chatter, a shiver that begins in my teeth. It twirls itself, like a ballet dancer, down my spine. It's cold. This isn't my home, I can't invite myself into another person's life. He doesn't even know me. But family is family, as my momma always said.

- carter eyma, child to adrien & molly eyma. they were killed bc his dad is in some dirty underground shit and didn't pay up. he doesn't know that ofc - his parents are just dead. adrien was a close friend and family member to morriah (his mom).
- adrien always aid if sumn happened go to morriah, she'd take care.
- he went to morriah but in suit theo's home. he feels no need to take care of a 14 y/o because he's failed four tributes already. momma didn't give him a choice.
