Caleb
Caleb sat up on his bed and looked out the window. It was sunny. He didn't care much fro the weather, really, he didn't care much for anything. He always helped people out just because he felt like it. He would sometimes feel a warm sensation when he was around the kids. He felt, hopeful around them. As if their innocence could save him from the hell that is known as Panem. He leaned over to the side of his bed, and opened his back pack. He reached inside and pulled out his journal.
'Today' he wrote. 'Is just like all the rest. Nothing special, nothing really to live for. I still wait for the day when the Capitol gets bored of the Games and conduct a full out attack on the twelve Districts themselves. But no, I doubt the Capitol would risk their precious Games like that. It sickens me. The sun shines brightly again today. That's just because it doesn't see what goes on down here, or maybe it does... Sometimes I just wish the sun will explode, and take the rest of the universe with it.'
He put his journal away and laid back on his bed. He silently cursed himself for having such selfish thoughts. Just because he saw that there was no meaning to life, didn't mean he needed to curse everyone else. He thought about his sister, and how much she's suffered. He didn't want her to get hurt. That's why his journal was an absolute secret. Not because he cursed the Capitol on every page, but because he didn't want his sister to see the type of thoughts he had daily. He got up and headed to the bathroom. He was up a few hours early, so he could put in some hours in the factory before school.
He got dressed, and grabbed his bag, leaving the house. Trying his best to avoid his aunt and cousins.

 ≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ Harlow Sarine Abel District Five ≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ A man stood before Harlow and her brother. "I'm sorry...there's been an accident..." He said in a solemn tone. A wave of remorse flows through Harlow and her brother barely catches her as she collapses to her knees. A pain too intense for her to handle is overcoming her with the news of her parents death. What would they do? They were orphans now...
So small, she's just a child. There's a blurry haste, of children of all ages running towards one thing. The golden horn. She manages to avoid trouble...at first. And then there's an older boy, knife flashing, and he sinks it into the girls chest, leaving her sputtering on the ground. The camera zooms in on her slow death, and there's the screaming of a distraught mother to the left of Harlow, crying for her youngest child's death...
I woke with a start, a familiar needle-like feeling stabbing around in my stomach. My heart was pounding, and I desperately looked over at my brother's bed, feeling the waves of one of my panic attacks coming on full throttle, only to see that it was empty. I heard the front door slam closed, and I quickly stumbled out of bed. My brother was the only one who slammed doors, and I quickly ran through the house, my entire body shaking with fear.
I pushed open the door, looking around fearfully, my eyes barely unable to focus on where he was. When I finally did see him, I ran down the short sidewalk in pursuit of him, uncaring that I was still in my pajama's. "Li!" My voice croaked out, my legs starting to get weak as my panic rose. ≎≎≎Mood:Panicked≎≎≎Location:Outside House≎≎≎Inventory:Sleep Clothes≎≎≎

Caleb
Caleb walked the dusty pathway, boots pounding in the dirt. He could smell the familiar radiation in the air from the plant. It wasn't close enough to his home to do any harm. But it was close enough to smell. He was used to it. He walked with his book bag slung over one shoulder. His notebook, knife and water canister bouncing around inside. He never carried any school books, since he never used them. It wasn't like their school ever taught anything new.
He heard faint footsteps in the dirt, fast approaching him. He kept walking, his normal pace. Who ever it was, he was sure had no business with him. Or so he thought. His sister's shrill cry out to him caught his attention. He turned to find that Harlow was now running to him, still in her pajamas with a panicked look on her face. Concern filled Caleb's heart as he dropped his book bag in the dirt an let his sister fill the space in between his arms. He wrapped his arms around her to calm her shaking body.
Slowly he lowered to one knee, bringing Harlow down with him, still with his arms wrapped around her. He gently stroked her soft red hair and kissed her forehead. "Easy..." he cooed. "Bad dream?" he said, as he lifted her face so he could look her in her panic filled eyes. Of course it was a bad dream, the same one she has every night. He didn't show it on his face, but he silently cursed to himself for leaving before she awoke. He hated to see his sister this way.

≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ Harlow Sarine Abel District Five ≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ My brother was my biggest and only comfort that I had. I was so thankful for him and I don't think I'd ever survive losing him. I shook my head to his question, my hands gripping his sleeves tightly in fear. That nightmare hadn't stopped since the death of my little cousin, and it sent me into a panicking mess every time, unless my brother was there, then it wasn't as bad. I hated putting the strain of my instability on him. I didn't want to worry him more than he already did.
"I'm sorry. I said to him, as my panic slowly started to dissipate, but that didn't stop the shaking that was going through me. I felt foolish for the way I acted, and wanted more than anything to feel normal and secure again, like how I had been before our parents died. ≎≎≎Mood:scared≎≎≎Location:Sidewalk with Caleb≎≎≎Inventory:Sleep Clothes≎≎≎

Caleb
Caleb knew for sure his sister had that dream again, still he took her answer without another word. He continued to rub her head as she stayed there shaking in his arms. After a few minutes, he stood up, still supporting his sister. Even though hated seeing his sister like this, he loved these moments. These were the times when Caleb felt normal. As if he actually had something to live for. And he did, his sister.
He shook his head when she apologized. "No, it's not your fault." he reassured her. He then bent down to pick up his book bag, then put his arms back around her. Guiding her back to the house. He opened the door for her, leading her into the kitchen and setting her down at the table. He then dropped his bag next to her feet and began to pour her a glass of water. He gave her the glass, moving his bangs from his face to see her. She looked as though she was beginning to calm down.
"Want me to stay?" he asked. He had no problem staying with her. He would just make up the hours after school and work overtime. He worked to earn enough money to buy them a place. Just him and his sister. This way they could live in peace. But even working two years at the factory, he barely saved enough for a down payment. He always suspected that he was being paid less than the older guys, and his suspicions may have been correct. As of now, however, that was not the subject matter. He focused on his sister, passion and concern still in his eyes.

≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ Harlow Sarine Abel District Five ≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ I gratefully took the glass of water from my brother, and began sipping it. For some reason, water always seemed to help. It was as if it were opening my lungs back up, taking away the overwhelming sensation of suffocation that panic always seemed to cause. My brother offered to stay home with me, and as much as I wanted to say yes, I knew I couldn't.
I carefully set my glass down on the worn wooden table and at Caleb. He was such a good brother to me. "No, that's alright. I don't want you to miss out on work...but maybe you can walk me to work after school?" I asked him, knowing that I'd probably need the company. School always tended to be a little hard on my nerves. ≎≎≎Mood: Reasonable≎≎≎Location: Kitchen with Caleb≎≎≎Inventory: Glass of water≎≎≎

Caleb
Caleb was a little upset that she didn't want him to stay, but he quickly brushed the feeling off. He knew he couldn't, or probably shouldn't, anyway. He moved some hair away from her face and retrieved his book bag from the floor. "Yea, I'll meet you after school." he confirmed before kissing her forehead and heading out. He didn't like leaving his sister after she had panic attacks. It was like leaving a baby without a warm bottle. He turned and smiled to her once more before heading outside and slamming the door behind him.
He then began to walk the same path he was just walking about fifteen minutes ago. He took the same exact steps. Stepping in his own foot prints. He emotions fading back to the nothing he always felt. He mind left his sister and went back to hating the world for all it was worth.

≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ Harlow Sarine Abel District Five ≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ I watched with a frown as my brother left the house, my heart aching with loneliness as he did so. I always hated seeing him go, and a part of me was terrified he would never return. Gulping down the rest of my water, I tried to calm the last of my jumpy nerves and get ready for school. I had no appetite so I decided to skip breakfast. I'd bring an apple to school to munch on.
I walked back into my room, quickly changing out of my pajamas and into something presentable. I favored darker clothing nowadays, but it hadn't always been that way. I still had some pretty shirts from before everything went downhill. The flower shop owner didn't approve of my gloomy attire, but she knew enough of my background to not bother me about it. I put the apple I had taken from the kitchen into my bag and slowly left the house, not in the mood for school, but it was necessary... ≎≎≎Mood:Lonely≎≎≎Location:Outside≎≎≎Inventory:Clothing & Backpack≎≎≎
