 It wasn't much of a goodbye. Lex and his brother looked at each other, they couldn't even say one word. What else could they say? There was nothing to say. Lex's eyes had teared up, but he quickly wiped it off. His brother pulled him in to a hug. They always joked with each other, but it seemed that now, they couldn't even do that. They were so different, Lex and his brother. His brother was tall, muscled, and had short blonde hair. While Lex was of average height, lanky, and had long thick brown hair. Anyone looking at either of them wouldn't have guessed they were brothers, much less related. Lex's brother squeezed him, it was all that Lex needed. In that one hug, everything was said. That his brother loved him. That he cared about him. That everything he did was for him. That nothing would ever be the same. That his life meant more to him than his own. That if he could, he would take his place. That he had nothing without him. And that if he died, he would have nothing left to lose. All bets were off. When Lex's brother pulled away. His face was that of anger and sadness, but surprisingly, also of acceptance. Lex could see it in his eyes. And Lex wasn't going to argue with him. He knew what his brother would do if Lex died. Lex should have listened to Samantha. But it was too late for him. And for her. Lex didn't say his goodbye. Their silent was enough, it said everything they felt.
Lex walked onto the train. The first train he'd ever been on. As soon as he walked in, he was met with cool air. They had a fan or some kind of thing that made cool air. His brows furrowed as he took a few more steps and went into the train compartment completely. The place was nothing like he'd ever seen before. Everything was clean, shiny, and crisp. There were chairs, tables, beautiful lamps and lights... Everything. Everything was just beautiful. Lex's mouth dropped in awe as he stared at every single thing. He didn't know any of this existed. How could they have so little in District 12 and they have so much on one train? Lex looked over at Samantha wondering if she was thinking the same thing. Anger began to fill up inside him with hatred for the Capitol. Then, Lex's eyes wandered and dropped on the tables of food. His mouth watered as he walked closer. The sight and aroma of all the food made his mouth drool and his stomach grumble. Without another hesitation, he began to grab any and every bit of food he could hold. Lex didn't even bother to find a plate or sit down, he ate everything right then and there on the table of food. Everything tasted so good. The meats. The cupcakes. The bread rolls. Oh, how the bread rolls were so delicious. Soft and buttery and sweet. He couldn't believe bread could taste this good. Not after all the plain bread he'd eaten all his life. None of the food he'd ever tasted had ever tasted as good as the food he was eating now. Lex's mouth had become so filled with food that his cheeks resembled that of a hamster that was storing away food. After a few minutes, Lex was finally able to stop eating, most of the food on the table gone. Thankfully, there was another table of food. Walking over to the next table, this time he picked up a plate. Then piled on 4 fluffy cupcakes. Each with different colored icing and toppings. He walked over to a blue cushy chair and sat down. His body felt relaxed, his bones able to release some tension. He had never sat in a more comfy chair. Even the chair was better than his cot. Well, if he was going to his death, he was going to satisfy himself with everything he never had. And he was going to start with food.

Sam was still in shock as she stood in the room, waiting to say goodbye to her mother. Her face was blank, she knew the chances of her becoming a tribute were high because of how many times she had to enter her name into the reaping. She swallowed hard when her mother stepped into the room. Sam didn't know what to do. They both knew what was most likely going to happen and Sam didn't want to think of what her mom would end up doing after loosing all of her family. She bit her lip so hard that she could taste blood. Sam started noticing that her mom was about the cry and Sam just shook her head. She couldn't say a word. She was in utter shock and denial that this was actually happening. This was her worst nightmare coming true. She clenched her teeth together to keep from breaking down in front of her mother. Instead she just quickly went up to her and hugged her tightly, knowing it was probably the last time they would actually talk. She let one tear slip out. Sam heard her mom vaguely say I love you over and over and how it would be okay, but they oth knew it was for her mom's sake that she was saying that. Sam just clenched her fists as the Peacekeepers ushered her mom out. "I love you too mom." Sam felt the tears start to well up behind her eyes as the door shut. No one else would be coming to say good bye to her. That was all she had, except for Lex, and well he was going to death with her. She shook her head as they started leading her towards where the train was.
Sam walked onto the train before Lex. She took it all in, knowing that she wasn't going to be able to be calm this whole time. She kept her jaw clenched tight, until she saw all the things on the train. She grabbed a few rolls, she wasn't really able to stomach any food at the moment, no matter how starving she was. She plopped down in one of the chairs, curling into a tight ball as she nibbled on her bread roll. It was the tastied thing she had ever eaten, and the chair was the sofest thign she had ever felt. She didn't understand how no one could afford to help fix up District 12 and the other poorer Districts, but they could afford all this food and all these luxuries on the train. It was jsut one train to the Capitol too, not a giant thing. She clenched her jaw again as she finally realized why she was going to the Capitol. Sam had barely noticed Lex come onto the train, she gave him a quick nod before getting up, quickly trying to hide her face as tears started pouring out. She ran into the next closet room she could. She sat on the floor and just let everything out. She never wanted to be apart of this. All she had wanted was to keep herself and her mother alive and through the stupid life in Panem until she could somehow get them out. She bit her lip as hard as she could to keep quiet. She had finally gotten over the shock and it was sinking in why she was on the train. She wanted to destroy everything in the room, break the windows, the walls, the table, the mirror, everything. Anything that belonged to the Capitol, anything that their oh-so-lovely President had paid for to make seem nicer. Why show them all the nice things that the Capitol could offer before killing them all just for a game? She didn't want to be here. She wanted to be with her mom. She wanted to fail at making bread and have her mom laugh at her every time she did it. She didn't want to kill, she didn't want to be killed. How was she supposed to fight against Panem when Panem was sending her to her death before she had even done anything? The tears kept falling and she pulled her knees up to her chest, trying to deny that this was all real.

"I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears
And listen"
-- The Heart of Life, John Mayer --
Lex stopped and looked over at Sam who had been silent since they arrived on the train. Putting the plate on the nice wooden table beside his chair, he wiped at his mouth, attempting to rid his face of the food evidence. Though it was clear to everyone on the train that Lex had somewhat lost it just earlier. Pushing his body off the chair, he walked over to the brown haired girl. She had been his neighbor and his school mate (though they weren't in the same grade). They had just started walking to school and back together lately. They had their first, and only kiss, just a few weeks ago. They were beginning to get close. And he had already began caring about her more than he intended to. He knew he shouldn't have. Now Samantha was going to pay for it. Everyone in Lex's life whom he cared for and cared for him had died. Save for his older brother. And now there was no telling what would happen to him without Lex. Lex was his gravity.
He kneelled down in front of Sam. He was tall enough that he rose to almost meeting her eyes even while she sat. Leaning in, he wrapped his arms around her. Sam's thin frame felt good against his chest. "I wish you weren't here on this train with me," he stated. "But I'm glad that I'm on this train with you and not some other guy."
It was right then that Lex made a promise to himself, and to her- silently. Had some other boy's name been called, he would have volunteered anyways. Maybe not bravely, but he would have. Kicking and screaming inside his brain to gather up all of his courage, he would have spoken up. Or at least, that's what he liked to think. He couldn't let Sam go in the games alone. At least with him, she had one less tribute to worry about and one more friend.

Sam wiped her eyes with the edge of her sleeve. She sniffed and tucked her hedad in Lex's shoulder. She hated that she was crying. She hated that he had to see her crying. The last time she cried was when her brother got taken away. She never wanted anybody to see her being weak, but she decided that if she was going to die, she rather have had Lex be the one person other than her mother see her without her shields up. Taking a deep breath, Sam blinked andlooked at Lex. He didn't deserve this, she sighed. "I'm glad it's me and you, too." She gave him a small smile. It was the most she could muster.
She twisted her hands as she sat, "What do we do now?" She crossed her legs and rested her head on her hands as she looked up at him. She meant what do they do with their relationship. She paused for a moment, was it even a relationship? They kissed, and Sam knew she cared about him, and they were what she would consider friends, but she knew that it was scary to think about starting a relationship just to have it end horribly.
Sam didn't want to think about what would be happening soon. She knew if she absolutely had to kill somone she would, but that didn't mean that she could. Sam promised herself that she would make sure that Lex stayed alive. He had his brother, and yes, she had her mother and that was all she had left, but Sam could take care of her mother for her. Her mom was strong, even if somtimes she acted like she would breakdown any second, Sam knew her mom could make it, because Sam knew that her mom would make her mom managed to get by after she had lost her son and her husband. Sam's mom could mother Lex and his brother, she would never mind it because it gave her something to do and she knew that Lex meant a lot to Sam. So Sam promised that she would protect Lex the best she could.
"I hate the Games. I hate Snow. I hate all of this." She mumbled under her breath as she ran a hand through her hair.
