“I don’t know…reject him in front of everyone? That might be funny? Or we could just not, tell him by ourselves. I don’t have to be there if you don’t want me to.” But if he wasn’t there…well, he needed to be able to help Jenny in more than just fights.
-
Daniel moved with her, staying right next to her. His mother stepped a little bit closer. ”Oh, stop antagonizing him,” called a man’s voice. “It’s good to have you back.” A man walked up to them, putting an arm around Daniel’s mother. “And who might you be?” He asked Rex.
-
Daniel glared at her. “This isn’t the time, mother.” “Then why are you back here, of not to speak to your family?”
-
“I don’t think he would…he’s too scared of you,” Edgar said, putting his arm around her again. She wasn’t going to leave him. “You know…this could be a very funny way to get back at him…”
-
Edgar looked up at her. Did she not like Roy back? It made sense that she wouldn’t…but he’d been so worried. After all, logically Roy was the better choice. He smiled. ”I don’t know, I’ve never had that problem.”
-
He looked down and retracted his hands, putting them by his side. “It’s ok.”
-
His smile, halfhearted though it was, disappeared from j his grace immediately. “I’m not joking, Jen. And it makes sense, with how he’s been acting.”
-
He shook his head. “He didn’t hurt me. It’s a lot…stupider than anything like that.” He gave a halfhearted laugh. “I think Roy might have a crush on you.”
-
He smiled weakly at her, then started walking to the other side of camp. There, he helped her down to the ground, sitting with his shoulder against hers. He sighed softly, his legs starting to shake too. Why was he so scared? Because if Jenny left him, not only would his happiness be gone, but also his only usefulness.
-
He stood up, his arm around her waist, and put her arm around his shoulders, supporting her. “Don’t hurt yourself, please.” His empty hand started shaking slightly, the anticipation getting to him.
-
“Ok. Do you think you can move?” His frown depended as his query increased. He’d been thinking this was a joke, but the more he thought about it the more it scared him. Jenny wouldn’t leave him, right?
-
“I’ll tell you in a little bit. When he isn’t around,” Edgar said, glaring at Roy again. It seemed like he actually might have a crush on Jenny…well, that was too bad for him. Doubt began creeping into his mind. Roy was stronger, more powerful, more popular, better looking, and so much more than himself. How could Jenny not like him back? He frowned slightly, his arm around Jenny tightening reflexively.
-
“Uh-huh. If you say so.” @Lunamor
-
“So you agree with me then? I’ll make sure to let her know. Along with everything else you’ve said and done.”
-
“Well you’d want her because she’s pretty, though that’s probably all you see. You’ve never been good at seeing the good in people beyond the surface. But just so you know, she’s smart, funny, and just a generally good person.” He smiled, resting his head on hers again. He really was lucky.
-
“Yeah, sure. I totally believe you.”
-
“Well I know why you would be, it’s kind of obvious,” he said, giving Jenny a little squeeze from his arm around her. He didn’t deny being in love with her, though he wasn’t sure if this was love. “As for reeking of me…well I sing think that’s such a bad thing. Though if you love her enough, I’m sure you could get past it.” He laughed. @Lunamor
-
Edgar blushed just slightly. “You’ve finally realized just how amazing she is. You’re in love.”
-
He bit back a scream as she started, the pain overwhelming. Tears flowed down his face.
-
“Ohh, I think I figured it out,” Edgar said, preparing his taunt. “I know why you’re suddenly so interested in Jenny.”
-
“You are safe now. Trust me, please.” He looked at her lovingly. His mother stepped over. “Are you two done?”
-
He scoffed. “You won’t hurt me. You need Jenny’s trust.” @RoyalBeeMage
-
He held her close to him.
-
Better, keep breathing.

Aaron watched. He was still confused at why she was helping him, it would have been better for her to just leave him for another tribute to finish. But instead she stayed. Why?
