Faith Campbell
District Ten
Age Nineteen
"I told you he was no good." Mr. Campbell scolded his daughter after discovering that the boy she was crushing on was sent off the Detention Center after supposedly being beyond the fence. Numerous times he had told Faith to stay away from that boy, he didn't make enough money and had too messy of a past with his wife that passed away and two kids he had to care for. All Faith was wondering though was why her Father was torturing her like this, pretending like he was right all along and Jack was completely bad news. Now he was locked away though, most likely to never return, so what good was it for Mr. Campbell to yell at his daughter?
As much as he kept going, Faith kept her eyes avoiding his, trapped within side her head as the words 'I love you' rang through her head. Not only would she never see him again, but now she knew how he felt and that she could probably never fall for someone after knowing such a thing. "Say something!" Mr. Campbell demanded, knowing that his daughter had completely shut him out.
It felt like there was no point to life anymore; Faith used to figure if she was able to make it to nineteen without being reaped she could be happy, but now she was more miserable then ever. Not caring what her Father would do she got up and simply walked out of the house, and kept walking and kept walking. He didn't bother to follow, nor did her step-mother, or any of her younger half-sisters. Before even realizing it Faith had walked all the way to where Jack and her first met; the largest lake within the district, where Jack was skinny-dipping as Faith was reading. A lot of people came here, a small chuckle actually escaping her mouth think of how daring he was to be butt naked in the middle of the day at a popular lake.
Sitting down in the exact spot she was while reading that healer book she bought the day they met, she could almost picture him swimming around. How would it be right now if they had admitted their feelings without the pressure of Jack leaving, would they of? Possibly not, but she'd rather be his friend then knowing he loved her back but not having him afterwards. It felt horrible. Faith was so distracted by her memories and thoughts she completely didn't realize that the lake was packed today with people of all ages trying to enjoy what little they have. There was still kids of reaping age, her younger half-sisters were still all of reaping age, Faith felt guilty being so caught up in her own sorrow.
((OOC: Sorry it's not that long, just really wanted to write. Let me know if you have another idea of how they should meet and I'll tweak it to match it.))
