Chapter 1
Katniss' POV
'PILLOW FIGHT!' Jo screams at the top of her lungs. She grabs a pillow and whacks me round the head making me fall onto the bed. I laugh and pick up the pillow that is sitting next to me and throw it at her head.
'Ow! You could have knocked me out. We then wouldn't have been able to go on our FUCKING AWESOME holiday girl!' Jo shouts. I laugh.
Then suddenly I hear a loud thud on the wall. 'JO KEEP THE FUCK DOWN, SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO GO TO COLLEGE IN THE MORNING!' I guess Jo's brother shouts. The door then flies open and my eyes fall upon Jo's brother, Jack. He is fuming. He is looking at Jo, but then his eyes sweep to me and his eyes soften.
'Hey there Katniss, how are...' he starts in a husky voice whilst leaning against the doorframe but slips and falls. I laugh with Jo whilst he gets up, embarrassed.
'I meant to do that,' he says walking out the door. Jo shouts his name and he appears once more at her door. 'By the way, I would give up. Kat isn't interested.' She says smirking. He goes red and scowls at her. I laugh and turn to him and shrug. Her leaves slamming the door, Jo and I being left in an awkward silence.
'Sorry about him, he has a crush on you,' Jo says to me.
'NO I DON'T!' I hear Jack shout.
'THEN WHY ARE YOU LISTENING TO OUR CONVERSATION!' She smirks. He doesn't reply.
We both laugh our heads off.
'Anyway…don't you think it's so cool that our parents are letting us go on holiday tomorrow without them?' Jo says. I nod and throw my arms up in the air.
'Hallelujah!' I say making Jo laugh. 'We should probably get to sleep then seeing as it is an early flight, and as Jack said he has college in the morning and we can't keep him up,' Jo nods and goes to turn the light off. The room is flooded with black light and emptiness and I hear Jo jump on her bed.
'Nighty- night,' I say. Jo smirks. 'Sweet dreams Kat.' Soon after the words leave her mouth I hear her breath even out and little snores escape her lips. I smile at my best friend.
I then turn towards the window and get up and walk over to it. I open the balcony door and walk out, letting the Hawaii sea air take over my lungs. I slide the door shut and walk towards the bars of the balcony. I look off towards the sea and see the waves crashing gently onto the shore. Behind the sea you can the reflection of the moon behind it. I look up to see it surrounded by shining stars. I smile, it's beautiful.
Suddenly my smile drops at the memory of that night. It looked exactly like this. A tear slides down my cheek and I wipe it away slowly remembering what Jo told me.
'You deserve better than him' 'He was a man whore' 'You deserve the right love in your love'
I smile slightly and then it disappears when my memory goes back to that day.
I have just pulled up outside the cottage, holding the note that he left me telling me to be here. A smile is plastered to my face as I re-read the note. At the bottom of it, it says 'I love you'.
I love him too, I think. I walk towards the cottage and knock on the door. There's no answer, maybe he's not here yet. I am like an hour early. I shake my head and push the door open. To my luck it opens, the heat suddenly fulfilling me.
'Cato?' I shout. Still no answer. I decide that I will make myself at home, so I pull of my coat and put it on the hanger to find that there is also a pink coat there. Hmm?!
I hear a noise upstairs and decide to check it out. I walk up the stairs and hear another noise. Cato said we had the house to ourselves. I walk towards the bedroom where the noise is coming from.
'Urgh, Cato!' someone groans. I freeze.
I reach his door, I open it, and I freeze. Tears fall from my eyes.
Cato is on the bed, naked, with a girl underneath him. I scream. They stop and he turns then curses. 'You were meant to be here in an hour,' he says.
'Oh sorry, I didn't know you were fucking someone!' I shout. I run. I don't know where I'm going, and I don't care.
All I know is my heart is broken. And no-one is there to pick up the pieces.
I look up to the stars once more and see that there is a shooting star. I close my eyes. 'Please, on holiday, let me find love. Let me find the one. Let me find the person who will treat me well.' I look up and see it is nearly dyeing out.
'Please!' I whisper.
Peeta's POV
'Please!' I whisper.
I look up to see that the shooting star has gone. I sigh.
The moon is still behind the sea, the rippling water making it unclear on the water. I trace my fingers on the balcony bars, letting the metal send shivers down my spine.
I breathe in the Hawaii sea air once more, and then walk back through the open doors. I see Finnick lounging on the bed reading a comic. He looks up.
'Are you okay dude?' he asks. I nod and walk to the bathroom.
Finnick and I are going to the Bahamas tomorrow by ourselves. I'm staying at his house tonight because we have an early flight. We are going for the whole summer and we were both amazed that our parents agreed. I walk out of the bathroom and see that Finnick is placing the comic on the bedside table.
'Dude, we have got an early flight tomorrow, we should probably go to sleep now,' Finnick says. I nod and flip the switch, walking towards my bed.
'Dude, are you sure your okay?' he asks concern in his voice. I sigh.
'You can tell me,' he persists.
'I just…I can't help thinking that this holiday is my last chance to find love,' I say quietly. Finnick sighs.
'Is this all because of Glimmer?' he asks.
'Yeah,' I sigh.
'Dude, you have to get over her, she was nothing but rude and arrogant to you!' Finnick groans.
'IT'S NOT THAT EASY!' I shout anger taking over. I immediately apologize.
'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shout at you, it's just I loved her, and I thought she loved me too. When I saw her…her…it broke my heart, and it hurt to know that there was no one to pick up the pieces,' I tell him. He sighs.
'It's ok man, look…this holiday I am going to help you find love. Whatever it takes. Deal?' He asks. I think about it then finally come to a decision to agree. I hold my hand out to the darkness and feel or his hand. He shakes it when I find it.
'Deal!' I say finally smiling.
'Night dude!' he says yawning.
'Yeah…night,' I say.
I close my eyes and think of tomorrow and how this is probably my last chance. There is no one here in my town that I have met that's different from all the other girls; this might be the chance for me to find her.
I sigh and roll over so I can just see the stars through the curtains.
I cross my fingers and soundlessly fall asleep thinking of one day marrying that one perfect girl.
Katniss' POV
*We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.See the lights; see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
and say, "Hello,"
Little did I know...That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles,
and my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said...Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
it's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes."So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
so close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, oh.'Cause you were Romeo – I was a scarlet letter,
and my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
But you were everything to me,
I was begging you, "Please don't go."
And I said...Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes."Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes."Oh, oh.I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading
when I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said..."Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think."
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said..."Marry me, Juliet; you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad – go pick out a white dress
it's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes."Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.'Cause we were both young when I first saw you.*
I groan as the song wakes me up and sit up, stretching my arms in the air. Jo does the same, but smacks her alarm clock that played the song first to stop the noise. I laugh at the anger in her face. When we lock eyes we both start to squeal.
I jump up and run to her bed where she is now standing. I jump into her arms and we jump around.
'Bahamas, baby!' we both squeal.
We both jump off the bed and run to the wardrobe, grabbing our clothes. I run to the bathroom, jump in the shower and wash my hair getting out the knots. Apparently to Jo we have to look hot and presentable if we want to find love on this holiday. I smile at the thought of Jo's words and the thought of finally finding the one.
'HURRY UP!' Jo shouts from the bedroom. I laugh.
I shut off the water and slip out of the shower. I grab the towel that was lying on the floor and dry myself and my hair. I run out of the bathroom after I have put my clothes on and powdered my face. I had put on a bit of eyeliner and mascara.
After me Jo does what I've done, shower, make-up, clothes and drying her hair. We drag our suitcases down the stairs and towards the front door of Jo's house.
We then walk to the kitchen and grab some snack's for the cab drive to the airport. When we get into the kitchen we see Jo's mum in her work clothes. She beams when she see's us.
'Hi dears. Have you got everything ready?' she asks pouring herself a cup of tea. We nod and she offers us a cup each. We decline, saying we have to get going soon. She nods and leans her elbows onto the island, sipping her drink; questioning us on the checklist she made which includes passport, tickets, drinks, luggage, phone and other important stuff. We nod at everything and walk towards the front door when we hear a honk of the cab we ordered. Jo's mum showers us in kisses and hugs as we say goodbye. She even starts to cry.
'Call when you get there,' Jo's Mum says, sobbing. We nod and wave goodbye as we put our luggage into the cab.
We get into the cab and see her Mum has walked down the drive to the side of the car. 'I love you so much, girls,' she says.
I blow her a kiss and Jo laughs, shaking her head. I slap her on the shoulder. We start laughing.
After we have calmed down she grabs my hand. 'You ready to find love?' she asks.
I sigh a smile slightly, 'yeah…'
Peeta's POV
We run out of the front door towards the cab we called and carry our bags after us. The man driving has gotten out and is helping us load the bags. I smile and thank him, Finnick does the same and we then get in.
Finnick's Dad waves to us and shuts the front door smiling. He told us to call him when we get there. He told us also to have a great time and try not to get to drunk. We laughed and told him 'no promises'. His Mum also gave us a hug and told us the same. I wish that my Mum was nice like that, actually talked to me, and liked me.
'Hey, you ok?' Finnick says. I look up and see he is concerned; I give him a confused look. He nods his head towards my hands that are gripped tightly onto the material of my jeans, making my hands red. I let go gently and smile.
'Yeah, just thinking,' I say slightly.
'Dude, this is a holiday/mission,' he says and I laugh. 'We need to relax with our shades but also look out for any good looking girls,' he says.
'Ok, let's do this,' I say fist-pounding him. I look up and see we have just pulled up outside the airport gates. I look o Finnick.
'You ready?' he asks grabbing his luggage. I breathe out and grab my luggage and nod slightly.
'Definitely!' I say laughing.
He jumps out the same time as I do and we pay the cab driver and thank him. We then turn to the airport and walk towards the doors. I look up to see a plane taking off behind the building.
'Let's do this,' Finnick says and runs towards the doors. I laugh and run after him, probably looking like a right idiot.
But the main question is…
Who cares?!
