Chapter 1: Home

I know that I have reached district twelve when I see a thin layer of black coal dust in the distance. The train slows and pulls up in a vast crowd of people. I search for the three people that I desperately want to see; Prim, my mom, and Gale. I give up looking and turn around to see Peeta walking up to me, we stand there in silence. I want nothing but to tell him that he doesn't have to freeze me out, I did what I needed to do, he can't blame me for that. Plus I still don't know if I love Gale or if I love Peeta. I miss the boy who gave me the bread so many years ago, but I can't tell him how much I miss him, that would be cruel. Peeta holds out his hand, waiting for mine.

"One more time? For the audience?" Peeta doesn't sound angry in the least bit, is voice is hollow. What is going to happen to our friendship? I grab his hand, and hold onto it with a firm grip. I never want to let go, I want Peeta to stay with me but I also want to go hunting in the forest with Gale. The games have really screwed everything up.

I recompose my face into a bright smile, and we step out into the crowd. Everyone in district twelve is there cheering for having us home, or cheering because a district twelve tribute has finally won the Hunger Games. I look at Peeta to see if he has composed his face as well when I see them. Prim! Mom! Gale!

"Prim, Mom, Gale!" I scream for the as I break into a full run towards them. Prim meets me half way and I pick her up and hold her tightly in my arms. "Prim, I missed you so much."

"I m-missed you too." I hold her back to look and her petal-shaped face to find her crying.

"Don't cry I am never leaving you again."

"I know, but I didn't think you were coming home."
"I promised you that I would try didn't I? Now stop crying"

Prim nods her head and holds me tighter, when our mom approaches. I smile at her and get a warm smile back. I have fully forgiven her for leaving me and Prim when our father died, and feel bad that I treated her so horribly before I left for the arena.

"Welcome home." Now my eyes are searching for Gale and I can't find him

"Were is Gale?"

"Oh he left," is all my mother says
