"Must you really do this,Peeta?I mean we have been through so many things-"I was cut off by him.
"Katniss,does it look that I love you anymore?Does it?I'm doing you a favour here to not let you waste your youth with me,I love someone else."Peeta hollers,shattering every single hope I had that we would reconcile.
"You two,do you still want to sign the papers?"The lawyer asks us and a year slids down my cheek before I nod,"Yes."
I sign the papers and looked directly away from Peeta's now cruel eyes,he was not the same man as he was before.
Peeta does sign his and states,"Now,I'll be the nice man and you'll receive enough money to last you for a life means that whatever connection we had previously is now split and will you promise me that you will not ever try to see me again?"
My lips quiver and I nodded once again,"Yes and you can take your money back,I will not take a single cent of yours and the house will go to you,it is as simple as that."
The session ends and I walk out of the building with my coat over my arm,the reporters come and ask me questions but I ignored them despite knowing this will be on the papers tonight.
Gale picks me up in his flashy Volkswagen and I sigh before he interrupts me,"He isn't worth your time,stop thinking of him,he doesn't deserve you."
"It's just that,we've been through so much like the rebellion against the Capitol and the time we went to victors' show and he professed his undying love for this all a lie,Gale?"
"The and your future was a design by the Capitol,he was probably acting to make more cash off of you."Gale rolled his eyes as he slammed the car honk in annoyance,"Stupid drivers who stop in the middle of the road."
I change the subject and asked him,"So how are you and Hannah?"
Hannah was a name Johanna preferred than being called by her old name.
" 's doing great in her second trimester and we've been going on trips to the various districts."
"How is Hazzelle doing and what about Posy,did she recover from that terrible sprout of Chicken Pox?"
"She's been sewing and taking care of Posy but mostly,she wanders around the house and puts up irrelevant pictures on the wall."He frowned,showing his displeasure,"And every time when I tried to take them down,she just yells at me."
"My life is so messed up,"I groaned before Gale says,"Mine too."
"What the hell,you have an amazing wife and you're going to be a father soon,what kind of joke are you playing on me,Gale Hawthorne?"
"It's so stressful and I wish we could be out in the woods,hunting again but the animals in there are now protected by the ,'so called law,'and we can't do anything about it."He says,curling both of his fingers when he tried to emphasise before parking his car in front of his house.
It was pretty,I chose it as she thought it was , ' deadly,' but I see nothing in this was deadly.
The sound of Gale's keys shaking made me quake too and when we went through the door,Johanna comes up to us,"How was it,Katniss?"
"I'll need to live here for a while,would you mind?"I asked her.
"No,you can stay here as long as you want and now,tell me what happened there."
"We finally had a divorce,he tried to give me money but I refused to and gave him the house,just reminds me of those painful memories there."
"You're right to do that,don't take that bloody devil's he caused you to have a miscarriage,he skipped away and had a secret mistress."Johanna crosses her arms before going to the front door,"I'm going to teach that idiot a lesson."
"You're in your second trimester and as much as I want you to do that,I don't want you to exert yourself too much and harm the baby."I pulled her back to gale.
"What do you expect,he used you and you're still nice to that !"
"Just not now."
"Fine,the baby is still a living going to sleep now."Johanna shuffles her feet before walking to the bedroom.
"I'll be at the fireplace."I said to Gale,he nodding his head in acknowledgement,"If you need me,I will be at the kitchen and I'm cooking stew tonight,your favourite Lamb stew with Dried plums."
"Forget it,the stupid games made me lose my appetite again."
"Then,we'll be having lobster bisque,how is that?"
"Alright."I sighed before walking to the fireplace,sitting on the wooden rocker and started the fire in no time.
I reminisced the days in Victor Village with Peeta and it just tore in my mind and my heart arched.
