You never expected anyone to come see you. No one came to visit you in the hospital, so why would the come now? Sighing you take a seat on your chair. To your surprise a boy had come, he had told you that you were stronger than you looked and he had gave you kind words. He had also been the brother of the male tribute only two years back. Everything he said to you had shocked you, left you stunned, but also heart warmed and hopeful in a way. But all not so hopeful. he hunt come back and there was not really a chance that you will.

If only you had ben stronger. If only you had fought the voices, willed them to go away, then maybe you would be walking home with the rest of your district and that Alaska girl would be in your place. Sighing you fall into the only chair in the room. Your legs feel weak and your head spins but yet the voices stay hidden. They are proud, you bet, proud of what you have done, after all this mean that they were winning. They had beaten you- No you could still beat them. Coming home would mean you had beaten them. Coming home. the thought seemed so ridiculous, so out of reach when yet you still hadn't even left the fences of your home.

A sound at the door makes you raise your head. You handy expect anyone to come see you so that face of Rafe was a welcomed surprise. You climb to your feet and despite everything run into his arms. He may have been your nurse, but he was also a friend and the site of him made you feel like at least one person had hope in you.

Life was a precious thing. Without life the world would be terribly boring. Rafe had made a promise to himself, long ago, to save as many people as possible from their own heads. This also included his sister. After the reaping though, his mind ticked like crazy. One of his patients that he had to help had volunteered. Rafe had to see her. He just had to make sure she would be fine. Rafe had watched her start to get better and better every day, but now he had to watch it go to the trash. She was a tribute and that always led to mental issues. Rafe had walked in to the Justice Building, not knowing what to say. The peacekeepers were quiet and only led him to the door. His eyes scanned the door, preparing to see the girl that he may never see again.

Once he had walked inside, and saw Sonja raise her head to see him. After maybe a few seconds, he felt her arms connect around him. The moment she wrapped her arms around him, was when Rafe realized something that had been itching at him for awhile. He truly cared a bit more than he should have for her, almost like a older sister. Maybe she just reminded him of Oasis, which would make sense. He felt some tears come to his eyes, and quickly wiped them away with his hands still around her. It felt like awhile of just hugging. Rafe softly spoke to her, "You know, I'm gonna miss you, but I still think you have a shot at this thing. After all, you're smarter than you know. After watching you for awhile, you are smart and kind. You need to be not as kind in the games though. You're on my list to win, Sonja. I am counting on you coming back. I have not lost one patient yet, and I hope to never lose one. Especially you." Rafe squeezed a bit tighter, letting his words reach into her. He knows she's smart and can handle herself. She may be crazy to everyone, but to him, she was just fine. Rafe wasn't going to loser her. He hoped she'd win, so he can spend more time with her. The only problem was, it was the Games, the one where everyone goes all out. She had a very little chance of winning. District six hasn't won in years. Maybe, just maybe, this would be the year.

"You know, I'm gonna miss you, but I still think you have a shot at this thing. After all, you're smarter than you know. After watching you for awhile, you are smart and kind. You need to be not as kind in the games though. You're on my list to win, Sonja. I am counting on you coming back. I have not lost one patient yet, and I hope to never lose one. Especially you." His arms wrap around you and you feel safe for a moment. You remember times when Rafe had stayed back for hours after his shift to talk to you because you had wanted to talk to him. he was like a brother to you, the only person who had actually shown an interet in you when you were locked away in the place that was for the people who had los their minds. and now- now you were losing him, just like you had lost the rest. 

Unlike the rest you could tell him that the voices had made you and he would understand. He wouldn't look at you any different, he would still look at you with care in his eyes because he did care about you, he was your friend. I have not lost one patient yet, and I hope to never lose one. Especially you. Your eyes close for a moment and small tears begin to leak from the corners. He was going to lose you, there was no question about it, there was no way a girl like you was gong to make it out of that arena alive. You had let him down, and you were sorry. "Sorry, sorry for doing this... I just wasn't strong enough, Rafe. I couldn't say no to them... they told me that if I didn't do it that they would destroy my life in another way and havent I already been through enough? Havent I had my fair share of pain? maybe... maybe it will all end now."

You pull away from him and look him in the eye. everything about him was familiar... If only she would stay with him a little longer. You manage a weak smile, "Please forgive me, Brother." You had never called him that before, but you couldn't stop yourself, the word slipped out so easily, so comfortably because that is what he was to you, he was the only family you had left, he was your brother.

Rafe's head was spinning. Everything was spinning to him. His world felt like it was crashing down again. He had this feeling when he had lost his parents. The feeling of loss was a hard one to deal with for him. Rafe's eyes averted to Sonja's face as small tears began to fall. He felt his whole body tremble. He couldn't help to see Sonja cry. She had never cried in front of him once and he never wanted to see her cry ever. The tears just made him want to cry and tear up this building even more. He never wanted to lose someone that he cared about. Her words escaped from her mouth to make Rafe even more like he was going to cry with her. "Sorry, sorry for doing this... I just wasn't strong enough, Rafe. I couldn't say no to them... they told me that if I didn't do it that they would destroy my life in another way and haven't I already been through enough? Haven't I had my fair share of pain? maybe... maybe it will all end now." Rafe felt terrible for her. It wasn't her fault that she couldn't control the voices. Oasis was a bit insane on the inside too, even if she didn't want to admit it. Rafe was her nurse and the only things he could think of was putting his hand on her cheek, rubbing the tears away with his thumb.

Rafe remembered all the nights he would stay late with Sonja and just talk about anything and everything. She was like a sister to him. He could tell her anything. He stared at the girl he knew from back in the hospital. A week smile showed up on her face. "Please forgive me, Brother." Brother. That was a new one to him, but after all, they were almost like family already. Rafe smiled weakly to her at the words. His hand was put back her cheek as he stroked it with his thumb soothingly. His gaze was on her and he felt a few tears leave his eyes as he pulled away his hand. "Sonja. I will always forgive you. It's not entirely your fault. You're strong. You always are. You may have not been able to say no, but you still will always be strong to me. You've been through more than enough Sonja. Way more than I think I could handle and somehow, somehow you always bounce back stronger. Don't give up Sonja. Fight the voices in there. Remember, you deserve to live." Rafe felt tears start falling down his cheeks slowly. He never cried, but he would have with his sister or Sonja. The only two people that are alive that he'd cry for. His head was remembering all the good times he had with Sonja. She was his sister, always will be. "I'll be waiting for you to come home, sister." His gaze averted to the floor with embarrassment. His face was contort and twisted with pain already. He had never lost a patient. He never wanted to. Sonja was smart and strong. She could do it and he knew it. She was his sister and his family always went out fighting. Sonja would always be his sister.

"Sonja. I will always forgive you. It's not entirely your fault. You're strong. You always are. You may have not been able to say no, but you still will always be strong to me. You've been through more than enough Sonja. Way more than I think I could handle and somehow, somehow you always bounce back stronger. Don't give up Sonja. Fight the voices in there. Remember, you deserve to live." His words make your heart ache and you only wished you could stop him. You didn't want him to say these things it only made you feel like you were letting him down and you didn't want to let him down, you wanted to make him proud...

Tears begin to fall from his eyes, salty drops of waters leaking down his face leaving a trail in their wake. He was crying because of you, you were the one to make him feel like this, you and no one else. You were a horrible person. If only- if only you had beat them then this wouldn't be happening. Then Rafe would be happy, he would be smiling at you with that cheeky grin, not that tears streaked face. You had never seen him cry before, not once... How could he forgive you? yes he says he will that nothing you can do will ever cause him to hate you... but is that true? Just look at him now, he was a mess and that was because of you. He should hate you. Everyone should hate you- except that girl, Alaska, you saved her life even if it wasn't what you had wanted to do. 

"I'll be waiting for you to come home, sister."

Sister. Rafe's gaze is plastered to the floor, embarrassment and pain twisted into his features. Sister. He had called you sister. Despite it all your face lights up and you forget the way he are making him hurt, you forget it all. You smile at him the tears he had wiped away so delicatley returning. He was your family and you were his. You reach out and grab his hand, squeezing it gently. "I'll try. I'll try to come home. I'll beat them Rafe. For the first time in my life I ill beat them, you'll see. I'll come home. You wont have to lose a patient." Was it wrong to lie to him? You didnt want the words to be a lie, but honestly, was there a chance that you could make it home? And if their was, would he still consider you to be family? "i'll try."
