The Stadium (In the Process of Ending/No longer accepting)

Drake-
"For... surviving," I say, "I'll probably be the next to go."

Jesse

I look at him painfully and I couldn't help but hug him. "Don't think that way." I whisper to him. "I-I believe in you."

Drake-
I'm surprised when she hugs me. It reminds me painfully of my mother hugging me and I can almost feels the flames licking around me, closing in before the wall behind me collapsed and I was pulled out of the rubble. I push Jesse away, taking a step back and not looking in her eyes, trying to hide the tears.

Jesse

He pushes me away and I look at him, feeling like I did something wrong. I speak, "Thanks...again." I awkwardly stepped out and walked back to the room where everyone was.

Micah

Dammi, Mi. Why'd you tell her that? Why couldn't you have just stuck with her?

I sigh and run a hand through my hair, wincing when I realize it's the one I'd injured in the last round. Jesse comes back out and I look up, watching as she leans against a wall and waits. I take a deep breath before approaching her.

"Jesse... I want to apologize." I start, looking her in the eyes.

Drake-
"Thanks... again," she says.
"Yeah, thanks," I say, turning away, but I'm not sure if she heard me. Hopping out one of the windows, I head out side, wanting to be alone.

Jesse

Micah approaches me and I swallow, looking away from him. "I-If you like her then...go for it. I'm not gonna make you do something you don't want to." I said looking down at my boot.

Micah

I sigh and cup her chin, pressing my lips against hers. When the kiss is over, I've thought of something to say.

"Who said that I was doing something I didn't want to?" I whisper.

Jesse

He kisses me and I look at him shocked, not sure what to say. I looked at him, confused. "B-But you like her..." I said a confused look across my face.

Micah

"Forget I said that." I whisper. "Just... trust me."

Jesse

He tells me to trust him and I nod, not sure what else to do. "I-I'll trust you." I repeated his words, smiling.

Micah

"I-I'll trust you." She says, nodding and smiling.

I smile and kiss her again, short this time. In the back of my mind, a voice reminds me of the horrors to come...of the dangers this might put me in. I try my best to ignore it.

Jesse

He kisses me again and when It's done I grab his hand and smile, leading him outside.

Micah

Jesse takes my hand and leads me outside.

"What are we doing?" I ask, smiling. "Where are we headed?"

Jesse

I smile and shake my head. "You'll see."

I lead him to an open feild with flowers and daisies, which almost reminds me when I actually felt like an elite. "It's beautiful out here." I said facing him.
