Jessi bit her lip as she drank another swallow of the water, then closed it again and sat it down on the bed beside her, drawing in another breath, nodding her head at his words and moving to lean against his side, still drawing in deep breaths of air, "I..I thought I was dead this time," she whispered slowly, her voice clearer then before, not as raspy now that she had drank enough water, "I don't want to leave here alone again," she was close to tears as she moved her arms weakly to rest her hand on his arm, still slightly trembling. She had thought she was dead the second those hands had closed around her throat, closing off her air, and if the bully hadn't thought her dead when she passed out, she would of been.
Angela felt a shiver run down her spine as she returned Peeta's passionate kiss, one of her hands moving to gently tangle in his hair to pull his face closer to her. She felt breathless again, her head full of the giddy, happy cloud that had filled it before, and she never wanted their kisses to end, never wanted to not feel his lips meshing against her's, she'd give the world if she could make this moment last forever with just her and him.
"I won't have a choice soon, not if you want to be freed," Lillian sighed as she moved closer to her sister to wrap her arms around her best she could, wanting to comfort the girl.
Cody nodded slightly, sighing at her story, "That must have been tough," he murmured, studying the anger flashing in her eyes, not showing pity since he knew pity often made it worse.
