Katniss is still mad at me for keeping what I know a secret from her but I have too, if someone were to overhear us we could both be killed. We hardly spoke to each other after the party, we were like that throughout the night and throughout our time in District Nine and Eight. Now we are approaching my home District, District Seven and we are still not talking. I can only hope that we can patch things us when I tell her what she wants to know, if not then I really think my mother will split us up for good. I am certain she will try, my mother always does. Every girl and bot I have dated in the past has been driven off by her, she never wants me to be happy. Every time I am she will quickly crush that happiness, I really am not looking forward to introducing her to Katniss. She's probably already planning someway to break us up with, you don't have to be physic to know that.
But right now we are still hours away from District Seven, we are all sat down eating breakfast and everyone has begun to notice that Katniss and I have fallen out. Johann defiantly knows I can tell by the way she keeps switching her gaze between Katniss and myself who are sat at opposite ends of the table instead of together like normal, when our eyes meet it confirms it. I can see in her eyes that she knows it, Johanna has always been hard to read but I know her too well and are one of the few people who can tell what she's thinking. My father knows it too, like Johanna I can tell by the look in his eyes that he knows something is wrong with Katniss and me. The only people who seem clueless is the people from the Capital, they just seem to be going about as normal like nothing's wrong. I always thought the people of the Capital were dumb and know I have prof, a blind man could see that Katniss and I are having problems. Apart from Katniss's stylist that is, I think he can sense that somethings wrong between us too.
"Now then everyone, as you all know we are heading for District Seven now" Katniss's Escort calls out as we eat, she always likes to be in charge of everything. This often brings her to blows with my Escort Lena, those two always argue and always fight over every small detail. "But unlike the other Districts this time we will be staying for a week, since it is Lisa's home District the Capital have granted her this time to see her family and friends"
"We know that already" Johanna moans, she's right though. Katniss's Escort has been telling us none stop about this since we left District Eight, it's beginning to get on everyone's nerves. "You told us a hundred times now"
"I told you, I told you that they didn't need to be reminded" Lena now says. "But you never listened"
"No one asked you" Katniss's Escort replies glaring a Lena. "And I was just making sure everyone knows"
"You already made sure" Johanna continues to moan, she's right thought. Yesterday's none stop reminders made sure of that. "Those two are a bigger problem" Johanna motions to Katniss and myself. "Looks like there's trouble in paradise, I don't mind the peaceful night's sleep but if they don't make up soon we are all dead"
"There's nothing wrong" Katniss and I both reply at the same time, I guess never one of us wants to get them involved in our problems.
"Then why aren't you two talking or even sitting near each other?" Haymitch asks not sounding drunk like I would have suspected him to be, it would be easier if he was drunk for a change. "If I didn't know you I would say you two are enemies and not dating"
"He's right, I heard you two going at it and even I am starting to doubt you two are a couple" Johanna adds. "They need to kiss and make up or we will all be killed"
"Johanna's right" My father says, great now he's butting into my love life. "After breakfast you two will go to your room, you will have an hour before being prepped and I expect you two to have made up by that time"
We all turn as the sound of laughter fills the room, all eyes fall onto Johanna who everyone quickly finds to be the source of the laughter. Even though she sees us staring at her she continues to laugh, it doesn't surprise me that Johanna is laughing while stare at her likes she's crazy. Johanna has always been like this, she always acts and speaks like she doesn't care about a thing. Finally thought she does stop laughing, she slowly stops and starts to again switch her gaze between Katniss and me again. She smirks and with one finally chuckle finally speaks, I am both dreading and curious to hear what she found so funny. I am curious to know and dreading because I know Johanna will say it, Johanna always says things straight even if what she says will cause anger or embarrassment to all who hear it.
"I wish I had a father like you" Johanna says giving my dad a quick look. "Mine would never lock me in a bedroom with a pretty girl and give us an hour to ourselves, I have a feeling they will do more than just kissing and making up"
"Johanna I am not suggesting they do that" My father tells her but Johanna just looks at me and smirks and in her eyes I can see she is daring me to do, if for nothing more than to prove my dad wrong and herself right. "I'm telling them to make up but, they are old enough to do that if they choice and its none of our business if they do or not"
"Whatever you say" Johanna replies before she goes back to eating. "But we all know what will happen once we lock them in that room"
True to their words as soon as we finish eating breakfast Johanna and my father drags us to our room and locks us inside, Katniss and I just stand there as the sound of the lock clicking breaks the silence. I don't think this will work, I know what will fix this problem. We need to be alone in the woods once we reach District Seven, only then can I tell her and we can move on. At best all this could do is make us start to at least act like nothing's wrong, but it won't solve the problem. Katniss and I can barely look at each other, every time we do our eyes quickly dart away. I hate this. I hate not being able to hold her hand, I hate not being able to be close to her and I hate that we aren't talking most of all because I can't hear her beautiful voice. I hate not telling her, I know she hates me for keeping this from her but I have no choice but to. We are still just standing in silence as I hear Johanna and my father's footsteps walk away back to the dining cart, we still aren't speaking and soon after the sound of a door shutting we are left in silence. A silence more quiet then I thought was possible, a silence that won't help anything.
"I think we need to at least act for the cameras" I finally say once the quiet unbroken silence becomes too much for me to handle.
"Why won't you tell me?" Katniss ask in response. "I told you about my dance so why won't you tell me about yours?"
"I can't" I tell her, I can't believe how stubborn she is being about this. I can't tell her so why can't she understand that and wait until I can, I already promised her I would when I could. "Not until we are in the woods"
"Then why did you dance with him?!" I can see tears form in Katniss's eyes and now I feel terrible and stupid, I hate seeing her cry and I feel stupid for not seeing the real reason for why she was upset.
I thought she was made because I was hiding something from her but I was wrong, she's more made that I was dancing with someone other than her. I guess I would be too if I was in her shoes, after all I was jealous when I saw her dance with the new head Gamemaker. It didn't help that she hide what she was feeling until we were back on the train and alone in our room, once she shut the door she did yell at me. We argued and then started to hardly talk to each other, all this time I thought she was made I was hiding something from her but she was really just upset that I danced with someone else. I really wish I could have known soon and made it right in some way, instead all I did was ignore the problem and made it worse. I feel stupid and hate myself for doing that, I should have known what was wrong with her.
"I'm sorry" I say looking away from her eyes, I can't stand the look of her tear filled eyes just the sight of them is going to make me break down in tears. "But I needed answers from that man, the dance floor seemed like the best place to get them. But I didn't, all I got was more questions that need answering" I look back at Katniss and meet her eyes, her eyes have stopped watering so at least she will hear me out. "I can't say any more hear, all I can tell you is that man is connected to my past and I want to know what he was doing there"
"Is that the real reason?" Katniss asks still not forgiving me but I know she wants to try.
"Yes" I nod. "I sorry for dragging him to the dance floor without telling you, I just saw an opportunity to get those answers"
"Ok I forgive you" I feel like a great weight has been lifted from my body at those words, I am so happy to hear those words. "But I want to talk in the woods as soon as possible"
"Ok" I reply, only after that talk will we be able to finally move on.
By the time my father and Johanna arrive to unlock the door Katniss and I are just like before, we are happy and holding each other's hands. My father smiles at the sight of us but Johanna smirks like she was right and my father was wrong, like she thinks we did fuck and make up. She is wrong all we did is talk and we haven't even kissed, but that won't stop Johanna from telling everyone that we did sleep with each other. I know her too well, I know as soon as we re-join the other in the dining car the first thing Johanna will say no I mean the first thing Johanna would shout out to the world is that we fucked each's brains out. All I can hope for is that for some reason she doesn't or for no one to believe her, that won't happen though. The Capital people like to gossip and news like that will spread like a wild fire burning out of control until everyone in the country believes that lie. I hate the fact that will happen, hopefully it will help us out thought. Maybe when the gossip reaches President Snow's ears he will be happy at the news even if it was a lie, maybe this false information could save us all. We walk into the dining car and right away Johanna proves me right.
"Told you they will fuck" Johanna tells the room, all heads turn our way and although some are blushing they all look at Katniss and I filled with curiosity. "How else could they be this happy together again?"
After that Katniss and I are split up to be prepped, needless to say that the prepping was awkward. The whole time all my Prep team did was ask me questions about how great fucking Katniss was, will it is fucking annoying to keep telling them nothing happened. We just talked and made up that way but thanks to Johanna no one is believing me, I am already planning how to get my revenge on her for doing this. By the time I am done being prepped I am pissed at my Prep team and at Johanna for causing this, but I can't let it show since I will be on camera in minutes. But I do like the way they made me look, at least my Prep team did something good while they bombarded me with questions about something that never happened. I am wearing a green dress that fits perfectly, I guess they want it to match my home Districts theme. No surprise there, District Seven Tributes and Victor's always looks like trees. At least this is slightly different, this dress's colour looks more like the colour of a leaf then a tree. I wear a pair of matching shoes and minimal make up just enough to highlight my features, I like the job my Prep team did. When we re-join the others I see Katniss is wearing a seemlier dress to me only she looks more beautiful in it then I could ever help to be. As we get closer to the station we are given the last touch to our outfits, a thick warm looking coat. I forgot its still winter, we've been enjoying the warm weather in the other Districts too much to remember how cold the rest of the country is right now.
Katniss and I stand side by side as the train pulls into the station, are hands find each other's in a tight grip as the train comes to a halt. For the first time since I left the Hunger Games Arena I feel nervous, for the first time Katniss is going to meet my evil wicked mother. I know the meeting won't go will, no matter what my mother will hate Katniss because of where she was born. I just have to keep my anger in check and hope Katniss does too, I have no doubt that Snow will be unhappy if something were to happen to my mother. With a deep breath the train doors slide open and I step off onto the station side by side with Katniss, it feels both good and bad to be home once again.
The smell of the pine trees is what hits me first and memories of running through those trees floods into my mind, snow is falling lightly to the ground adding to the small blanket of the white stuff that's already on the ground. I forgot how beautiful the snow can be, I am so distracted by it that I don't even notice the reports taking pictures of us until Katniss gentle reminds me of what is happening. We pose for the cameras and answer a few questions but to be honest I hardly remember doing that, I am too distracted by the snow and too worried about how my mother will treat Katniss when they finally meet a few minutes from now. I can see my mother now, her dark black hair is the first thing I notice, then her green eyes that look so full of anger and evil I can feel myself shaking. My mother is upset and not happy, meet Katniss won't end well. But we have no choice but to let them meet each other, we walk towards my mother with my heart beat speeding up with every step. My mother to is walking towards us and each step she takes I can feel shake my body, I really wish we didn't have to see her. Once we reach her the first thing that happens ids my mother raising her hand, then everything happens so fast I can barely see it. My mother's hand comes down and strikes Katniss across the face so hard she falls to the ground and her hand is torn from my own, then all I can feel is my mother's noise being crushed under my fists. I didn't even realise I was punching her. All I saw was red as I watched her hand slap Katniss, now all I can see is my mother falling to the ground with blood pouring from her noise. Good, that's what that bitch deserves for laying her hands on Katniss. I just hope that now one will use it against me, I have a feeling everyone else would have done what I just did in my saturation. Right.
