She threw her expensive clothes and shoes on a bin and watched as the fire caught up. She took another big smoke from her cigarette before throwing it too in the flames but the fire reminded her the fire they had at home and how many times her father would sit in his big armchair and shout to her.
Like he had done the same night before she ran away.
That brought tears in her eyes.
Katniss Everdeen ran down the street of the old neighborhood and turned in an empty road. The ponds were making an annoying noise under her old boots, making the water splash on her black trousers. She kept running though. She knew that those roads she was in, were not good to be walked, either at night, either at day. She higher the hood over her head and opened the door of the old building. She run up the stairs and in no time she had reached the roof where she spent the most of her time now. And then she let the most painful loud scream, coming right from her lungs.
Hot tears streamed down her cheeks and she started kicking and punching the air.
"Fuck you!" she screamed looking at the huge and lightened up poster on the building across. Her perfect father was pictured perfectly holding the new product of one of the many perfect factories he owned.
"Fuck off!" she repeated and grabbed a rock from the ground. With all the strength she had, she threw it on the poster, with result creating a deep gush.
She fell down on her knees and tried to forget everything her father had told her.
She tried numbing her feelings with the -probably expired- vodka she kept on the roof since her teenage years.
"You are useless"
another big gulp.
The liquid was burning her throat and felt like her stomach was on fire.
"I wanted the perfect family"
another gulp went down her throat.
It didn't feel as bad this time. It was almost satisfying.
Why can't you be more like your sister?"
Her sister. Her little Primrose. Who had gained all the best trades of the family. Her little duck. Who was the definition of perfect. She would leave for college any time soon to fulfill her life time dream. To become a doctor. She had passed in Harvard with a little help of the perfect money her father owned. Katniss was twenty-two years old and had done nothing to her life besides, getting kicked out of schools, drinking, smoking and getting arrested. Besides her little Primmie who had only turned eighteen was more successful than she would ever be. The only person who knew she loved unconditionally and the only reason she hadn't ran away.
another gulp.
another gulp.
another gulp.
Her vision started turning blurry. She tried standing up but her feet were too light to bear her weight.
She raised the bottle to her lips again but the precious liquid had long gone.
And everything turned black.
