I love you every day and now i will miss you every day

I sat on a rock on the banks of the small river that ran near my house. The river was frozen on the top, and it looked frozen enough to hold a person. I really love this river, in the summer I can go swimming in it, and just enjoy myself. Every time I managed to convince Storm to come take a walk with me, it would be beside this river. When we were little and we would forget our way home from school, we would just find the river and follow it till we got home. Occasionally we would go the wrong direction and notice it maybe 15 minutes later when we still weren’t home. I never tried walking on the ice because Storm said it could break and I would fall in. I always got mad and called him a party pooper. It seemed whatever I did, I always was able to make a connection with Storm. He was my better half, without him I probably would have broken my neck long time ago.

The cold wind was blowing hard enough so that you could hear the trees move. There were almost no leaves left on the trees, and most of them covered the ground in a large coat of orange and brown shades. You could see a few puddles on the ground and the dirt was somewhat wet from the last time it rained. A few older footsteps where presented in the mud, leading toward the town. Then they were my fresher footsteps. Well my barefooted footsteps. I refused to wear shoes today, and mud is supposed to be good for your skin anyway. Mom is going to scold me when I get home, telling me that I am going to get sick. She always tells me the exact same thing, she is always worrying about the smallest things in life. The stuff that shouldn’t really matter to us anymore. We lost too many things to worry about the smaller things, we should enjoy these small things. Not push them away.

It is cold. Winter is on it's way, and I'm totally not ready for it. I'm not ready for the snow to fall on the ground turning the brown, crunchy grass a white color, for the temperatures to drop below freezing, or the cold nights trapped alone inside a house with no heat or anything. The tiny jacket my mother gave me does little to block out the cold when the nights grow long, but it helps a little. What made it better was spending time with Mist. I have no idea how she feels without her brother walking beside her. I wish I would've been able to meet him, but the Capitol had other plans. My hand pounds against the door of her home, but she doesn't answer. Apparently she's not there right now. I run a hand through my bushy hair remembering the places she would go, and I knew where I would head first.

The river. The first place I ever met her.

I carefully maneuver through the woods filled with dead trees. Wind bites through my small jacket freezing me to the bone, but I keep going. Sometimes just being around her brightens my day. It changes how the feelings lurking inside me. When I want to binge drink, all I have to do is find her, and the urge goes away. I won't ever drink around Mist because she doesn't deserve to see me like that. She doesn't deserve the pain it puts myself and my family through, and I don't want to hurt her. She's had so much happen over the last few years, and I have to do whatever I can to make her happy. Mist is my princess. After walking a little ways through the woods, I find the river covered in a frost. I place a foot on it, and it crunches beneath the weight of my body. That's when I see her sitting so peacefully.

"Hi." My voice quiet when I stand behind her because I really don't want to startle her.

I love you every day and now i will miss you every day

The past few weeks I have been spending a lot of time with Tony. Whenever I need him he is right there beside me. I used to always think that I would never fall in love, because who needs it. Apparently I do, I loved Storm, and I still do. I needed him and his love. Now I just need Tony, because no one really talks to me that much. At home I am always doing my own thing, I guess things really haven’t changed that much. Fawn is still heart broken, I can’t blame her for that, but I can blame her for running off when I needed her the most. She knew what I was going through and she took off for the woods. Though gladly she came back and I am still not talking to her. I don’t want to talk to her. Mom said I’m being hot headed and stubborn. I just say that I am being my old self again.

I let my left foot quickly touch the ice before pulling it back up, it was burning cold. My toe felt like it was on fire from the cold. I heard a familiar voice whisper hi behind my back. I turned my head quickly, with my blond hair flying on the sides and was greeted by Tony’s face. My lips, which were all chapped from the cold pressed into a happy smile. I stood up from the rug so that we were at the same height. “Hi”. An idea came to my mind. I always wanted to walk on the ice, but Storm never let me, well Storm wasn’t here now. “I would as how are you, but I have an idea, and it’s getting dark so we don’t have time for small talk. Do you want to walk across the ice with me? Storm never let me, he said I was just going to fall in.” I put my hands behind my back and crossed my fingers hoping he would say yes “Pretty please with a cherry on the top”

When my eyes met her's, and I saw the huge grin spread wide across her face, the entire world stood still for a moment. I don't know how I managed to find a lady such as this one, and I really didn't deserve her. She's never seen me in my drunken state, and I long to keep it that way. It's not fun watching someone stumble around until they can't stand anymore, or until they can't talk or anything. The last time I woke up after being drunk I had a broken foot and a broken run or two and blood was caked to my knuckles, yet I still don't know to this day if it was my blood or the blood of whoever broke my bones, and Mist definitely doesn't deserve to see me that way. She helps me become a new person as I set out on this journey to find my brother although once I find him I'll still never leave her. She's an amazing person, and I want to spend forever with her, but right now it's too scary. I'm afraid of losing her in the games.

She asks if I want to walk on the frozen water because her brother never let her, and I agree with what he said. There's too much danger. I know the ice looks thick, but it's impossible to judge how thick, and I don't want her to get hurt or trapped under the ice. I don't know if I could ever live with myself if something happened to her. I sigh silently shifting my gaze from her to the ice. She's almost begging, and I want her to have fun, but this is dangerous, and she has no shoes on. I take a deep breath looking around. Yeah it might be a bit risky, but what's the point? Winter isn't fully here yet, and I doubt it's safe, but why ruin her fun?

"I do think it is dangerous. What if the ice breaks and we fall through? But why live life in fear? Every year we risk being taken away by the Capitol. Maybe this once wouldn't hurt, but you're barefoot too. I don't want you getting frostbite."

I love you every day and now i will miss you every day

My eyes glance from the glittery ice covering the river to his eyes. Silently begging for him to agree. This was one of my wishes since I could walk. To be able to walk on the frozen water. He talks about the games, the way they might take us one day. That is the last thing I want to think about. I lost already two people, including myself. I felt like I ran into a labyrinth, never to come out. Slowly though I start to see a light. I take a step closer to him, my eyes scanning his. “C c can we not mention the games, like ever?” my voice fading into a whisper. Those games were such a touchy subject for me, that the thought was unbearable. “ We will not lose each other to them, and we can’t afford to think like that, okay?” my voice getting harsher by the word, like tiny little daggers.

I quickly relized the tone I was speaking in “Sorry” and I turned away to face the river again. I know there is a risk, and looking at my dirty feet I knew that I was going to get sick. I don’t care and I never did, I always seemed to do whatever I wanted to do. “My toes, won’t be falling off anytime soon, believe me. “ I held out my hand for him to take it. “Let’s have a little fun, shall we?”

Mist didn't understand the worry about walking on the ice and her getting the frostbite. It worried me because I want her to be safe. She's my life, and I don't know what I would do without her, but apparently bringing up the games wasn't a good idea because she got upset. I never meant to hurt her because it's a horrible feeling seeing her upset. I lower my head towards the ground as she apologizes quickly. "I'm sorry." The words fall from my lips quickly. A large grin spreads across my face as I look into her eyes. She's amazing in every way, and I'm so thankful for everything she's done. "We'll be safe. Together." It's the truth because I won't let anything happen to her, but if her name is ever drawn from that ball, I'm powerless. I move the thought from my mind fast. I can't afford to think like that.

She holds her hand out, and I quickly grab a hold of it. It feels amazing holding onto her, and with her hand in mine, I never want to let go. I don't want to ever lose her. "Just few a moments. Plus I stepped on it earlier and it crunched, but we can have some fun." I slowly step out on the ice allowing her to follow me.

" we'll never be
r o y a l s "

I don’t want to be safe. Not with Storm. Not with Tony. Not with myself. The only kind of safe I wanted to be is safe from the games. Safe from being murdered for entertainment. Or worse, winning the games and having to live with the blood of others spilled all over my hands. Safe means never taking risks, I hate it to feel that I have to sit around here all day and never can do a single thing because I have to be safe. I know I can’t be too hard on him, otherwise he will probably hate me. I thought he hated, because of the way we met. How I screamed, yelled and kicked. I challenged him to throw me in the water as if it didn’t matter to me. Truth be told, it didn’t. Almost nothing does anymore, especially not my safety.

The ice does seem a little thin. You can tell that there is water underneath. A few stones poke out of the small piece of this winter wonderland. His hand takes my small hand. I always complained about having small hands. Ma told they were lady like and I should quite the complaining. I told her back that I was no lady, and I never had intentions of being one. First his foot touches the ice, then I follow his example. The ice was so cold that it burned like hell. I giggled a little, before putting the second foot on the ice. You could hear it crunch beneath us. I sort of cringed and waited for the ice to break and swallow me whole into the freezing water. It didn’t. I smiled, as if I had just won a big victory. “I told you that it wouldn’t be that bad, I mean we’re still dry”.

The ice crunched under my feet, and I wanted to jump off. I sure as hell didn't want Mist on this especially without any shoes. I worried about her and her devilish ways, but I couldn't stop her. I couldn't take away what little freedom she had. Did freedom really exist in district nine? Did it exist anywhere? That's a question I never figured out. One I'll never know the answer to, yet it doesn't matter. I'm free from the pain and sorrow when I'm here with Mist. I'm free from the grasps of the Capitol. Of course they always have me, yet I don't think of it like that. This is a joyous time. A time of happiness. A time of wonderful love. Yes, I'm in love with Mist Jay.

A large grin spreads wide across my face. I try not to worry about frostbite. It's an obvious concern of mine, but I choose to remain quiet about it. The last thing I need is for her to get mad. Of course we didn't get wet, but that's not what I was worrying about. I sigh silently to myself. She never truly thinks things through. Hopefully she doesn't lose her toes or anything. If that happened, I wouldn't love her any less than I do now. I would love her forever no matter what. "Well... I'm getting off the ice anyway. Just to be extra careful. Don't want to get wet. " I chuckle a bit before looking around once more.

She might hate those words, but I don't care because someone has to be safe.

" I'm a nightmare dressed like a
d a y d r e a m "

He said he was getting off. I pressed my chapped lips together for a moment before sighing. I guess I would end up here on the ice alone. I don’t want to get off, because I just need that extra little kick in my life to keep myself from thinking of anything but the future. I need something to grasp on, some have ripred. I have the future and it awaits me. I don’t want to look back, not at the street fights I would get into, or making everyone miserable. I don’t want to regret everything or anything at all. Things have changed, I’m no longer the little blond girl from district 9 that has clue what she has doing. The one people would think she was an angel. This ice for me is a little rebellion, and it’s exactly the thing I need to hold on.

“Get off if you want, I don’t care” carefully I sat myself down on the ice. Thank ripred that I had long pants on, so it wasn’t that cold. I blinked my grey eyes innocently, and waited for him to step of the ice. I know that I wasn’t being so nice, but he should be used to it after a while. I’m just not a nice person. I know it and he knows it. He just has to learn to accept it, because I refuse to change. “Or you can always join me here” I suggested, my voice filled with false innocence.

I love her.

I have no doubt in my mind for the feelings I have towards her. The way my stomach ties into knots each time I see her. The way my heart leaps under my chest. The smile that spreads across my face. All of it. It's nothing I've never felt before, but in all reality, I've never experienced love until now. My mother and father never cared for me. I don't know what it's like to love someone, but this feeling, this emotion must mean something. And she tells me I can get off. No hesitation surges throughout my veins because within seconds my feet are planted on the white, fluffy snow.

But I can't take my eyes off her.

Especially when she sits down on the ice. It's cold, and I don't want her to be cold. I don't want her to hurt at all, and the ice is bound to freeze her, but it's like she doesn't care. It's a part of her that I love. Who am I kidding? I love everything about her. She suggests I should join her, and I want to join her. I want to be with her forever. She's the woman I want by my side for the rest of my life. It might be crazy, but I can't imagine my life without her. I can't imagine doing anything without her. It only takes a moment of contemplating, and staying beside her wins.

Carefully, I step out onto the ice again listening as it crunches beneath my feet. Part of me waits for it to break and send me crashing into the frigid waters below, but it doesn't, yet the fear is still there. "Just for a little bit. Don't want to get frostbit. That wouldn't be fun at all, but why not have some fun while we can?"
