    Summary

    David Jacobs was not a particularly impulsive individual. He'd had the same best friend since the third grade (Jack Kelly), been in love with said best friend since freshman year, and was perfectly happy with pining silently until the day he died, so long as things remained the same. Senior year rolled around, and the aforementioned best friend got a girlfriend. New relationships toss David and Jack's relationship into turmoil, and David finds that the consequences of acting before thinking can be unfortunately extreme.

    Summary

    Davey had never thought he would get the disease. There had been no warning signs- he hadn’t even known he was in love. But the moment he saw the petal, displayed in a shower of blood, he didn’t even have to wonder who it was for. There was no one else it could have been.

    There was only Jack.

    Summary

    It was an illness that could've been avoided easily, if David would've just guarded his heart more closely. Still, he found himself hacking up the contents of his aching lungs in an uncomfortably cramped alleyway with thoughts of Jack Kelly clouding his head, and he realized that there really wasn't any coming back from this. He'd made a mistake and his life was totally and completely ruined over a boy who'd never spare him a second glance.

    It was almost laughable, how much David loved Jack. He was a pathetic mess over the boy, with tiny blue flower petals stuck to his lips and chin, and visions of deep brown eyes swimming through his mind. David was lovelorn. Really and truly lovesick.

    Summary

    It was an unfortunate series of events that moved the Jacobs family from Ohio to New York, but it came with a pay rise for Mayer, a new job for Esther, and a new school for their three children. All three had been struggling at their previous school, bullied for being Jewish, and Esther had high hopes that they would get on better in a state with many more Jewish people around.

    Davey and Sarah were fifteen, Les was twelve and unknown to their parents, they were all relieved to be moving to New York- or, back to New York, considering they all had memories of living there before. Sarah called it her past life, Davey just called them memories, without giving it a name that had such huge connotations as Sarah’s did. Les didn’t call it anything, because he was twelve and not yet fully aware of the fact that it set them apart from everyone else.

    “It’s called ‘The World’,” Esther was explaining to Sarah as Davey came down the stairs. He still wasn’t used to having a house with two floors, or a room to himself, despite it having been nearly a week since they had moved in.

    Summary

    Jack just knew, deep in his chest, that Davey wasn't telling him something. He was a bad liar to begin with, but the shifty glances and hasty exits had almost grown to be too much as of late. There was something happening and Jack was ridiculously out of the loop, which was beyond frustrating. Wasn't he supposed to be in the loop? Weren't he and Dave supposed to be best friends, or selling partners or co-presidents or whatever? He was tired of trying to catch that anxious green gaze, tired of chasing after answers.

    What in the world could've been bothering Davey enough to push him to this level of silence? Jack was bound and determined to get to the bottom of it, even if it meant pushing his other priorities aside.

    “I knew it!” Of course it was Davey.

    “God Davey, you sure know how to give a guy a heart attack,” Crutchie held his chest and let out a breath of annoyance disguised as surprise.

    “Sorry. I just-” He sighed, bouncing slightly on his heels, “You lied,” he pointed out.

    Crutchie pinched the bridge of his nose. “And I formally apologize for that Davey, now can I help you with something or would you like to get on to the evening edition.”

    Or, David notices when his friend is struggling, Crutchie learns to accept help.

    Summary

    After surviving the Hunger Games, Davey Jacobs and Jack Kelly are still trying to adjust back to a normal life. Except there's no chance of a normal life ever again, not while they live in the public eye and their choices are not their own, and even their relationship is tainted by the Capitol's influence. Then, just as they think they might be finding some stability, the universe throws one last surprise at them.

    Now Davey and Jack are going back into the Hunger Games, but this time, they have no intentions of playing along with the president's rules. They are, after all, the Newsboys of Manhattan, and it's their responsibility to spread the news. And when they're through, the whole world will know.
