"Primrose Everdeen"
"Prim!"
Katniss is making her way to reach Prim.
"I volunteer as a tribute."
When I hear her saying those words, my heart skips a beat. The girl I love most wants to go and fight for her life in that Hunger Games. She's my girl.
"No, Katniss! No! You can't go!"
That's Prim, and she's still clinging to Katniss and won't let her go. I know Katniss that well, so I decide to pull her younger sister from her back. She's trying to look as strong as she can be.
"Up you go, Catnip."
That's all I can say. I am trying to look that strong, not only for Katniss, but also for Prim and their Mom. I carry Prim away and walk to her mother. I can't do anything else aside from that, as I see her climbing the steps on the stage. She's still that brave lady that I used to be with in hunting. She's now facing us all in that platform; no fear can be seen in her face. Her eyes focus on Prim and her mother.
"Peeta Mellark."
Peeta, he's the one who will be with Katniss. They are both from District 12 but they need to fight each other to survive. She shakes hands with Peeta and then her eyes meet mine. It feels like she's talking to me. All I can understand is, she's saying goodbye.
But how can you say goodbye to someone you love?
Reaping for this year's Hunger Games is over. People start to disperse. But I am still stand in my spot. Katniss gives me a final glance before she is ushered inside the Justice Building. I can see worry in her eyes, contrary to how brave she stood in that stage a while ago.
We will be given a chance to see her before they go to the Capitol. Her mother and Prim are inside the room with her now. I know she's worried about them, about leaving them here while saving her life on that game. I need to assure her that I will take care of them while she's away. She needs that above anything else.
Finally, I get my chance to see her now. I open my arms for her when I see her that instant. She came to me hugging me back. Of course, I need to give her advice on how she can survive in the game. To always aim to have a bow, and if there's none, try to make one. She's good with bows. I still want to be with her but the Peacekeepers are back and they take me away from her. I can see that she's panicking now and I hear her crying out to not let them starve. I know, she's talking about her mother and Prim. I tell her that I won't and I still want to tell her something but the door is now shut.
What if it is too late for me to say to her that I love her?
