They say you don't realize until its too late, they say you think its all fine until its not, fools paradise, that was what he was living in.

Orion was smart, he was despite what many believed, he had graduated top of his class in medical school and had his pick of working in any hospital in the country, of course in the end he had chosen to  go back to twelve, back to his roots and make the hospital that much better. He had of course succeeded. The Neuro department was best in the country and people flew in all the time to get treated by him, he was a prodigy they said. No one was all that surprised, he was a Mellark, they were destined for greatness. 

Orion loved his job, he loved what he did and he did it well so of course when the rest of his life started to slowly slip away he was dumb enough not to notice. Not to notice that he and his wife, who had been the love of his life, barely talked to each other, and that when they did it was about work or the kids or how they both had to take the last sunday of the month off because Peeta would not take no as an answer for the monthly family dinner. They didn't look at each other and when it just so happened to be that they were both in their home on the same night they slept, exhausted beyond belief.  

Orion had never wanted kids, but when she got pregnant and they had their first child he had promised he would try and be a good father, and for about the first nine years he was, he was at every game, every ballet recital everything and anything they wanted they got, he had taught Dacotah how to shoot a bow and had tried to so the same for Aries, but eventually with his promotions and just the life he had chosen it started to slip, he didn't know his kids anymore, barely saw them as it was, and now the distance the space was so wide, he wasn't sure he could fix it.

Orion Mellark was smart, in everything but what really mattered, and he wasn't sure there was anything he could do about it.

She heard a voice behind her and she almost didn’t want to believe it. That sounded like Orion…was she dreaming now, since she had been thinking about him so much the past few days? Hesitant to turn around she finally did, and the fact that he was standing there…it was almost unreal. He was like an apparition or ghost.

“Orion,” she murmured, taking a few steps toward him, putting her hand forward and touching his arm. He was real, that was for sure. Her hand didn’t pass through him and his likeness didn’t disappear. Clutching his arm a little bit, she stepped just a bit closer, trying to keep her composure as she waited for him to speak.

Shaking her head as he continued, she looked down. “I’m listening,” she said quietly, her voice breaking a bit as her brown hair (which had already started to grow back blonde) whipped around her in the breeze. She had no idea what he was going to say and she was a little apprehensive, but ready to hear it.

Orion watches as she steps closer, and he feels his heart beating faster in his chest. He had missed her so much and now having her this close and knowing he had put himself and her through that for no real reason, well he hated himself a little. He hated that he couldn't be stronger for her and for him but that was over now. "Good." He says reaching her the hand that is not clutching him tightly. "Do you know, that my dad feel in love with my mom when he was 5 years old? And that he knew he wanted to marry her when he was 7? That sounds crazy because who knows what they want when they are seven? When I was seven I thought girls had cooties.. Well my dad knew, and they went through hell, literally and he still wanted to marry her at the end of it all. I used to think that was so stupid. That the thought of marrying someone was stupid that giving someone that much power over you was the only form of slavery left.." His grey eyes are bright as he continues to speak. "And then I met you, and I have literally done nothing but mess up again and again, I'm like my mom instead of my dad, I didn't think anyone could love me or that I could love anyone enough to want to be with them my whole life. Yet.. I love you more than anything.. I love you so much that sometimes it feels like I have to numb myself or all of this is going to be too much. Callie you are all I think about and when I try to picture my future no matter where I am I always see you there.. So maybe I'm not seven but I am very young yet I came to the same conclusion. I want to marry you. I want to be with you, to be just with you, to be better and good and everything you need because.. I'm nothing without you." He reaches for her hand and pull it away from him before dropping to his knee on the sand, he reaches in his pocket and pulls out the small red box he had grabbed popping it open. "I don't deserve you, but I want to be what you deserve and more. Marry me Calypso? "

It had been...damn, how long had it been since she had last seen Orion? They hadn't spoken since that text message conversation...she just didn't want to see him. But deep down she knew that was all a lie. Callie wished he would walk through the door and fix everything. All she knew was that she didn't - and wouldn't - go back to him. Not again.

Still, she was lonely. Especially today, on her birthday. Her parents were nice as usual, feeding her her favorite foods and giving her wonderful gifts, the best they could give. And she was grateful for that...but she couldn't help but be down. She missed Orion, it was plain and simple. Ever since that...incident in the Capitol, she needed his comfort more than ever, and now he was gone.

After a while she left the house, dressed in a simple dress and nothing more. She needed some air, she needed a walk. It was balmy and warm outside; the weather couldn't have been more beautiful. But there was a little raincloud over her head that wouldn't go away.

[orionmellarkk]

Orion knew that this wasn't going to be easy, but then again most things in his life weren't easy. Before leaving to four he headed to his house, seeing as how he was staying in Katniss's old house with Eli and Sage, his father was in the kitchen and he sat with him for two hours befor heading to the train station.

The whole time on the train the words that Peet had said to him resounded in his head, everything he had ever thought and everything he would ever be came down to this moment and he knew what he had to do. Soon enough he was in district four, the rolling waves in the distance and he rushed from the train station towards her house, he was about to knock on the door when he saw her by the beach a little walk away from her home.

Seeing her again was everything he could have hoped, and if he wasn't sure he was making the right choice while still in district 12 well seeing her after a month sure did the trick. Taking a deep breath he took off towards her, trailing behind her momenterily not saying anything before calling out her name. "Callie. He states waiting for her to turn around. "We need to talk. You are not allowed to say no and i just need you to listen"

There are many things that have changed in the last month, and one of them is Orion himself. Finally getting both of his siblings home had cleared his head and even if he still believes that taking a break from his relationship was for the best the time away from Callie has shown him one thing, that he can't live without her, that no matter how good or how bad his life was the only person he wanted there with him was her. Each time something good happened it was her he wanted to tell and each time something bad happened it was her he wanted to comfort him. So in the end when his phone pinged signaling something he already knew he made up his mind grabbed the present he got her and headed to the train station. It was now or never.

The cracks in the concrete || Orion and Sylvia

Her voice picks up a cheerful lightness as she responds, staring up into his eyes glossed over with tears that threatened to fall upon her. “You’re mad because you do stupid things? Everyone does stupid things!” She seemed almost incredulous that the root of his troubles came from something so human. 

She smiled and signaled for him to bend down towards her, lifting her hand to dab at the liquid trail on his cheek. Then, with utmost delicateness, she kissed the spot lightly. Her head fell back from his and she looked into his eyes, searching for a response. 

“Better?” she asked, tilting her head as the words left her mouth. 

[orionmellarkk]

Orion takes a deep breath before straightening up once more. He was so much taller, so much bigger than the scared little five year old she had met all those years ago, yet here he was, still crying and broken over things he couldn't control, things nobody could control.

"No.. but I am calm." he states simply sitting back down at the edge of his bed, his fingers running through his golden locks, a nervous habit he had picked up. 

"Just because everyone does stupid things doesn't mean they do what I do.. Or hurt people the way I do." He sighs biting his bottom lip once more
