Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you
Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you
 | Can't help but be happy for Katelyn. I ain't sure what it took to win these games, but I watched them constantly. Not gonna lie. I lost hope when Levi died in the bloodbath 'cause that's when most of the stuff goes down, but somehow she managed to survive. She killed three people, and I ain't a killer, and I don't think she would've titled herself with that long before the games, but everyone gotta fight in that situation. There's something 'bout her. 'Bout how she handles herself in the attention flooded to her across from the entire nation. Pa never talked much 'bout the games. He never talk much 'bout anything other than working and making sure the family was taken care of. I followed in his footsteps. Today is one of the only days I get off 'cause Katelyn stood on the stage giving a victory speech, and while I'm happy she won, at the same time it's bitter sweet. We lost one of our own. One brave enough to volunteer for the games, but I guess that don't matter anymore 'cause we have a victor. Now other tributes who are reaped for the games might not have nothing to worry 'bout. One thing that will always worry me is Kirito being reaped and sent into the games. He ain't a fighter, and I don't think I could ever live without him. Kirito is more than a brother. He's more than my twin. I love him in a way that nobody can ever imagine. I love cuddling next to him in bed when the nights are cold, or when we tell each other stories 'cause we're hungry, and we wanna keep the focus off the constant rumble in the stomachs. It's in those nights that we grew close. I guess being hungry a lot can also help in the games 'cause many times people go days without eating. It's something that I'm used to. Something that I'm sure most of the people in district eleven are used to. Ma and Pa always gave their portions of food to us as they grew up 'cause they wanted us to grow up strong. It was a horrible day when Pa died. Ma grew real sick, and now the portion of food I get are usually cut in half 'cause I wanna make sure Ma has plenty to eat. Especially in her weak state. She been getting better. Don't know what Kirito does with those plants I get for him, but they seem to help. Can't imagine life without Ma. Or Kirito that matter 'cause it was hard enough losing Pa. A large grin spreads across my face as I turn around and look at Kirito as the crowd leaves the square. I slowly wrap my fingers around his before following the rest of the citizens. I wanna talk to Katelyn, but I ain't got time 'cause Ma is still at home, and she needs us to feed her. Maybe one day I can talk to her. Hopefully I ain't going to the games when that happens, but I never know. Would someone save me like Levi saved the kid reaped for the games? I ain't sure, but it's hopeful to think 'bout. I'm just a teenager trying to live life. Trying to survive. "Kirito, do we got all the plants and herbs we need ta make ma some food when we get home? 'Cause if we don't, we can always make a pit stop on the way and let me gather some." My voice quiet as the words fall from my lips. It's kinda hard to hear with all the chatter going on as people walk away. Some people excited that district eleven has a victor. Others mourning the loss of a brother, son, cousin. "Oh! Can ya make that stew ya make really good? I could really use a bowl." I rub my hand against my stomach before shifting my stare into an innocent one. One I hope he ain't able to resist. |
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
