Guilt. That's the only thing I can feel now. Guilt over what young Deja's going for, despite my only role being to protect her. But most importantly there's guilt over what I've done to Prism. There's no doubt this tough little Redhead will make a comeback, leaving my only worry upon the love I left behind. How could I of left him? To die alone, or at the very least get cared for by someone other then me. Is he going to get blamed for killing that man? He doesn't falter from my mind for a single second as I watch the sleeping child for days on end.
It was me that wanted to rummage through just one more house. I held the brilliant idea of breaking the lock to the basement. Sure it was both of us that immediately had to save Deja, but I brought us there in the first place. Do I regret it? Certainly Deja wouldn't of been helped so soon, making me grateful for that. But Prism was shot, and I murdered another. My head's in a permanent whirlwind, and my inability to get any shut eye isn't assisting. Is he the one being shipped off to punishment? Or was all understood?
A knock at the door startles me to no end. I hesitantly pull myself from the seat, I've rarely budged from, and I make it to the front door with even more cation. Have they caught me? Am I going to be sent to my final doom? Something inside of me reassures me that it's nothing bad. Prism told me this was a safe apartment, and I trust him more then anyone else in this Panem...and oddly enough, it's my second most trusted that I spot out the window.
"What are you doing here, Sophia?!" My voice is suddenly a bit chipper as I pull her into Prism's apartment, and envelope her in a large hug. We've been friends since I joined the dance group a couple years back. She's a brilliant dance teacher, and an even better friend. There's no describing the relief of her being here, though it does raise a bit of confusion.
"Prism told me to come here if you two ever disappeared...haven't seen you two in like four days." She explains, quite baffled herself. "Where is he?" Just like him to be pre-prepared.
At first, I don't want to tell her what happened. All I want at this moment is Prism. To curl up next to him and discuss the horrible things that occurred. Which then gives me too stupid of an idea, that I still take anyways. "I have to go to him." A question might of been given my way, but I'm far too distracted. "Can you watch Deja for me? She's detoxing in the room over there. I'll explain when I get back." I frantically explain before dashing out to not waste another second. My love is waiting for me, and my chance has finally arrived. I don't care how dangerous this may be.
Instinctively I head straight towards the hospital; with a hood around my bright red-locks, just incase information has seeped out. My feet quickly shuffles before the other, and my steps are nearly clumsy with how fast I'm attempting to walk. I can feel my heart pounding against my ribs, and it's not due to the cardio going on. Each second that goes by, yard that I pass, is a bit closer to the one I crave. But my movement halters from going any further once I reach the hospital doors.
Every employee in there may of been warned about me. I could be stopped before I even reach my love. But it's a risk I'm willing to take. Those red locks get stuffed further into my hoodie, and I begin my search.
Tears jolt to my eyes as I feel hopeless in finding Prism. My back leans against the closest wall as I huff in the sobs wanting to come out. Did they already take him to be questioned and tortured? Did he die from the bullet? I want to crumble to the floor in defeat, until I barely spot blonde locks behind the creek of a door. Prism. Instantly I push myself from the wall for a closer look, and immediately welcome myself in when I recognize those beautiful features.
The door closes behind me, as I now lean of that for support. Seems like my legs are going to collapse beneath me, though I force myself to his bedside. I'm speechless. Prior to anything else I engulf him in an embrace, and delicately place my lips upon his as tears stream down my cheeks. The fear of never seeing him again was overwhelming. "Prism..." I manage to get out while my hands gently hold onto the sides of his face. "I'm so sorry I left you." My lips find his again as if they were magnets.
"How are you feeling?" I question next, with no care in the Panem if I were in trouble. Now that I've been able to kiss him again, they can take me away for eternity...though I'd hate to leave his side. "I love you so much." Instinctively comes out while I curl up against his side.
