Story 5
The next thing I know, i am sitting on the floor, my hands pulling my hair out of its braid. Im hyperventilating, screaming. Peeta comes down infront of me and grabs my wrists, pulling them towards his chest instead of at my hair. He rests my hands on his chest. I feel his heartbeat beat slowly, calmly. I close my eyes and try to imitate his breathing. I open my eyes and he looks at me.
“What?” I say. I dont mean it to come out as defensively, but it does.
“Katniss, if we are what I think we are, I am taking you to go see your mother in 13.” He says looking into my eyes.
“No!” I shout. “You can’t make me go back there!” I cant face my mother. The memories are too much. Boggs, Messalla, Jackson, Leeg 1, Homes, and Finnick. Oh Finnick. And Gale. I still hate him. “Peeta, I can’t go.” I say trying to get up. I give up and slide back to the floor.
“Beleive me i would rather not go. But we dont have a choice. There arent reliable doctors here. And i think you would feel safer with your mother than a stranger.”
I know he is right. I would feel safer with my mother than a stranger. I take a deep breath and say “Okay.”
"Okay! Ill call Haymitch, and Ill get Greasy Sae to watch the cat. He motions to Buttercup perched on a windowsill. “Okay.” I say. Im still on the floor, trying to make sense of this. Peeta goes downstairs to make arrangements so I decide to try to do the bare minimum to get ready. In my deluded, panicked state, I manage to get myself dressed semi decently. I just start on my hair when Peeta comes in. He smiles at me, like when we were in the the 75th arena at the beach. When he game me the pearl. He comes, pulls up a chair sits behind me, grabs a brush, and braids my hair neatly back into a braided bun. After awhile, I hear the front door slam open. Simultaneously Peeta and me stand, poised for battle. We hear the clamoring of stumbling stomps coming up the stairs, and our door burst open to find a green, half shaven Haymitch. Then he vomits on the floor.
------------------------------------------pt 2, still story 5–
The smell and sight of the vile stuff is enough to make whatever was left in my stomach from last night make an apperance. Peeta stands, stunned, as Haymitch falls to the ground in the combined mess of bile, while i find my vanity seat and sit, pulling at the fringe lining the seat. At this moment Greasy Sae shows up with her oldest grandchildren Reena and Milte. “Now what in tarnation happened?” Sae directs this question at Peeta, since seems to be the only person not incapacitated here. “Haymitch burst in, vomited, then Katniss vomited, Haymitch passed out.”
“Thankyou. Reena, Milte, pick him up, rinse him off and get some nicer clothes on him but from the other bath, please.” Reena and Milte both nod and pick Haymitch up. I think theyre twins. Sae walks next to me, puts her hand on my shoulder and smiles. She says “lets get you cleaned up.” She motions for Peeta as well, and we head into the bathroom. My hand in Peetas. They dont touch my hair, but they do change my clothes. Then Sae checks on Haymitch. Me and Peeta walk out into the hallway and see Haymitch walking out too. Sae comes out and says to Peeta and me, “ive arranged for your train. You two go along and tell me the news.” She hugs us and shoves Haymitch playfully down the stairs.
“I still dont know why im here” Haymitch sloppily points to himself.
“Because youre our mentor.” I say. Haymitch looks genuinely touched by this. He stands up taller, and walks closer to me and Peeta. We walk to the train station and board our train. We are not the only ones on it. Theyre are others who look like they come from other districts. I stare at them a bit too long and they become uncomfortable. Peeta stits next to the window, then Haymitch, then me. But i dont like that, so i ask for Haymitch and Peeta to switch so that i still sit next to the aisle and Peeta next to me. Haymitch gets the window seat. The train starts and I rest my head on Peetas shoulder. Our hands intertwined. I close my eyes and sleep.
