Jack & Erica

"I think you're right," I whispered. "And that scares me Erica. God I am so scared."

"I feel helpless too. Like no matter what I've done or tried to do it's just never did any good."

"I know how you feel. I... I just... I just want to take care of my babies and... and I can't... No matter what I do... it just seems like I can't do anything right."

"They had to grow too fast." I sighed "I'm just done...I'm not letting anyone else hurt them. Ever. I'll die first."

"Same here. I wish... I wish they'd done that to me instead. I would've take every beating, every cut, every injury... if he could've been spared from that."

"I'm worried for Aurora...I wish she would have let someone else...take care of Diego. When he mentioned the baby she completely lost it."

I shook my head. "How could she not. That was an absolutely terrible thing for him to do. After everything he's done... he deserved what he got."

"He's caused a lot of trouble...something Quin and Aurora didn't need anymore of."

"No they didn't. They've been through more than enough. I'm afraid... too much more and they might just break. "

Selma

"So am I."

"I wish I knew what to do. I am so tired of feeling... helpless."

"Maybe we aren't as helpless as we think we are. We've raised very strong children."

"You're right about that. I just can't help but feel that way when every time I turn around something else has happened to them that I couldn't stop, or I can't help them through. I feel like nothing I do is right anymore."

"You're a great Mother Selma, we've all been doing the best we can. You've been through a lot...Quin and Raine know that."

"I hope you're right. I've... I've done so many wrong things though, made so many mistakes. Hell, Quin doesn't even know my ex husband isn't his father. I wouldn't blame them if they were angry with me."

"He's just like Parker...a Simmons to the core. Do you think Brady or Brayden know? Brayden just found out recently that Milo is his son also."

"Yeah he is. He's exactly like them," I said and shook my head. "No, I don't think they know. You know how long Parker's been gone, and he's not anywhere near the camps. We would've seen him. I don't think he told anyone either... before he left."

Selma

"I know...he was trying to protect you and Quin. Parker was involved in things he shouldn't have been, he should have known the Capitol would eventually come down on him. Brayden too but you can't tell those men anything. Between the Simmons, Jacobs, and Fords I'm not sure who's more stubborn."

"I think it's an even tie to be honest," I said and sighed a little. "I can't believe I've never been able to tell him... I just... I didn't want to cause him anymore pain."

Selma

"He would ask questions you wouldn't be able to answer, Selma. We don't even know where Parker is or if he's still alive." I sighed "Have you told Brett?"

I shook my head. "No. I've never told anyone but you Erica."

"You know my lips are sealed as always."

"I know they are. You don't know how much I appreciate that too."

"Of course, you're my best friend. I just wish we hadn't of spent so many years apart after Aurora's father passed away and I was taken to District 2."

"I wish we hadn't either. I missed you like crazy while you guys were gone. I was really glad when I found out you'd gotten to come back."
