HG 1x1 JoyCh155 x Titanic

[johnsum.]

Joy sighed as she walked into the Justice Building, making sure to have taken her time, probably arriving about fifteen minutes late. Effie may have glared at her for arriving so late, but she wasn't really paying attetion to anyone around her, only walking into the room she was directed into. "God." she murmered as she walked into the room. It was hundreds of dollars more than what she was worth. She did live in the Seam, the poorest part of District 12. She just had her casual smile on, not wanting to loose it infront of her stressed out sister and dad, while she would bet some money that her mom was just throwing a party as soon as she died out there.

Devon hugged his little sister as her parents' eyes filled with tears. He dreaded the moment that she would be entered in the Reaping. His father shook his hand, deciding to be all formal now. His mother rolled her eyes at her loving husband and explained what Devon already knew. Things like how much they loved him, that he needed to make it out alive, and to please come back home and things like that. He waved goodbye to them, patting his little sister's head. He watched them leave as some girl named Jessica walked in. She was one of his good friends, and had no idea how much he loved her. But, she of course never saw him that way and should just kiss that wish goodbye. She gave him a friendly hug goodbye, them saying very few words to each other. Also, she gave him her lucky necklace, a said to be lucky stone hung off a brown leather string. He smiled, accepting the gift and watching her walk off. Besides, he already new who she liked, some other boy in their class who didn't gave a d*mn about her. He put the necklace in his pocket, knowing he needed luck and forgot about Jessica.

Joy just smiled as her sister bawled her eyes out, her just leaving her on her shoulder as her mom just said bye, showing no emotion until she walked out, looking like a wreck. Her dad just told her about how he loved her and other crap along those lines that she didn't really care about she just looked down at her little sister, her too dreading the day that she would be forced to enter the reaping. "You should go straight home. Don't stop for any crews." she told her father and sister with an urgent tone in her voice, she was always dreading this moment as it was. Her chances at living were slim if she couldn't get on a bow and arrow or knives. She slowly moved her sister off as she just sat down. Her brain knew not to cry, she could easily be on camera in a few minutes. "God...." Joy mumbled as one of her greatest friends in the world appeared in the doorway. It was Matt. Her childhood friend. He walked up next to her and looked at her. Matt just couldn't comprehend that one of the few friends he even had was being whisked away to the games.
"Well I guess this may be bye..." he said, not looking her in the eyes. He was a year younger than her, and much, much more timid than her.
"Yeah, just promise me you won't be depressed if I die?" Joy said rolling her eyes, like she didn't know she was going to die with in the next week or two. She just didn't want to just go and scream in death's face to take her.
"Okay?" Matt told her skeptically, probably going to be upset for years after this. With a smile, Joy almost shove him out, not wanting to be around the guy to make her bawl her eyes out before she walked out. She just needed her cold expressionless face for the camera.

Devon sighed, and sat in the room for a minute. Just a second ago, it was comfortable, but now it was lonely and sad. Saying goodbye was probably the hardest thing to do in all of the games. He knew it was going to be hard on everyone he loved and cared about. Dieing is easy for you, not the ones you love...Something he had always heard when he was younger. How true it seemed now. He stood there in shock, knowing his life might just end in a couple of days.

[johnsum.]

Joy looked around. It was just empty, the room and all. She wished that she could say bye to the little kitten that they had at home. It was just so tiny and helpless that she wanted it's warm embrace. His soft fur against her face, his warmth, his helpless looking eyes. In just a few seconds, Joy realized that she had some warm tears streaking her face from this thought. "D@mnit..." she muttered, mad at herself. Sometimes she may seem schizophrenic, but that was just normal her. Normal, loud, talkative, yet somewhat anti-social her.

[titanic]

Devon stood, now pacing the room. What comes next? He asked himself. The reapings were over, and he said his goodbyes. Was there anything else he needed to do before he got onto the train that would lead him to his death? He didn't think so, but he still was tired and feeling a lone in the world. Finally, he walked out the room, hoping to find Effie to tell him what he needed to do next.

[johnsum.]

Joy sighed as she made sure to stop her tears before her eyes became red. She knew that later she could cry without the cameras being on her. As she slowly wiped away the final tears, Joy walked out of the room, making sure to carry herself like that stature of someone that wouldn't be in the games, she was going to be her from now on. That is just how she would want to be known.

[titanic]

When Devon finally did find Effie, she was talking to a peacekeeper. Not really caring if he was interupting their "important" conversation, he turned to her, completely ignoring the man in his usual uniform."What do you want me to do now?" His voice was cold, and uninviting. He was furious right now, mostly because Effie already made him say goodbye to the ones he loved, what else could she do to him now? "Get on the train,"She says, her voice being alittle more peppy then his. She had always been in a better mood since Katniss and Peeta finally won the Games. It was the first victory for District 12 in a long time. "The train should be pulling in soon." He walked off, rolling his eyes once he had rounded the corn, and muttered something unintelligent when she was out of ear shot. He saw Joy, and decided to tell her about Effie's next instruction. "Effie wants us on the train..." He walked a little slower now, incase she wanted to catch up of something.

[johnsum.]

"Oh, this will suck." Joy said in a dull tone as she staied behind him. She was planning on takeing the longest route she could think of right on that spot. "Are you seriousily trying to just get this over with?" she asked him somewhat thinking that he just wanted to die from his reactions to what was happening.

[titanic]

Devon stopped, and looked back at her. He shrugged and said,"Yeah, I guess so..." He honestly was, and he was never really afraid of death. Anything was better then how they were living now in District 12. He couldn't stand the government, and he hated what the games stood for. But, of course, he wasn't going to go out in the arena and wait for his death. No, he was going to try and fight back, try and win. For his family.
