' and the world comes crashing down.

I continued to watch the night sky. With each second that passed, I could physically feel myself relaxing from the tensed up position had taken up once entering the clearing. It felt, nice, to not worry and freak over every little thing. For once I could just sit here and not think about anything.

"I guess it's a good thing we found each other, then....My name is Dominic, by the way."

Dominic. That was a nice name. I pulled my blue eyes from the night sky to watch him once more.

"Mmm. I guess it was. Dominic. That's a nice name. I'm Blythe."

I felt him shift slightly and his arms slipped from their embrace around me. I missed the warmth of his touch immediately but threw a grin on my face to cover up. After all he hadn't actually moved away from me, just withdrew his embrace. I couldn't help that little ping of doubt that spread across me like a itch. This didnt mean that this would last. The night magic would wear off and I'd be throw back into chaos the minute his presence disappeared. Another shiver ran it's course down my spine, tightening my throat.

I'd manage. I always have. It was just so nice to have someone who understood what raging emotions that coursed through my mind and heart with each intake of air. It made me feel less insignificant.

"You know? I've lived in District Nine my entire life. Not once have I taken the time to just sit back and watch the stars. I've just been so...consumed with Mom and the Games and every other little mess up in my life."

I took a deep breath. My gaze drifted slowly across his face before lifting to the sky once more.

"I've never really relaxed. It must be hard though living with -- well that always talking you down. Its bad enough with my own mind telling me things about myself."

I gestured at my head. I might have problems but at least my mind belonged to me. I didnt have someone inside telling mehow stupid and worthless I was.

"Mmm. I guess it was. Dominic. That's a nice name. I'm Blythe."

Blythe. So now there was a name to match the face in the moonlight.

"It's nice to meet you, Blythe. Really nice to."

And for the first time the entire night, a faint but sincere smile crept across his face. The boy wasn't sure why, but a fairly joyful feeling began forming inside him. Blythe, the one person in the world who could understand his misery. Finally there was someone he could speak to; pour out the secrets he hadn't shared with any other human being.

"You're from District 9? I've never been there..... I've spent my whole life here. I don't know why I stay, though. It's like....... like I'm connected to this place for some reason. Believe me, I've tried to run away plenty of times, but I always end up just coming right back."

He stopped himself, shrugging. The smile had faded from his face and his gaze drifted to the meadow surrounding them.

"I've never really relaxed. It must be hard though living with -- well that always talking you down. Its bad enough with my own mind telling me things about myself."

"I can't tell you how many times I've tried to kill myself because of it."

The boy shook his head, feeling the drops of blood still running down the right side of his face, starting to trail down his neck. So many times had he bled to remember; he didn't really care enough to find the source of the crimson.

"Before I--..... killed my father... he taught me everyday how to fight, and he always said to only use it to defend myself. But now.... I use it against myself."
