This year is by far the worst year of my life. I'm sixteen but I already an feel the weight of the years in my back. My parents are both dead. They died in a car accident a couple months ago in a car accident. Since that horrible day, my beloved sister Prim and I have been living with our only remaining family member, our uncle Haymitch. It's a living hell. He only cares about his booze. He gives me an amount of money at the end of every month to buy food for the three of us.

He wasn't like this a couple years ago. He was a different man then, he was handsome and he was happily married to the woman he used to love, Maysilee Donner. They were very happy and rich, because he used to rule a company named Capitol Couture that was very successful. Unfortunately Maysilee died two years ago from a horrible case of leukemia, they found out to late and she died a couple days later. She died and with her it died his happiness. He became a drunk and unsocial person, he's never sober and when he is it don't last long just a couple minutes because he always start drinking again.

"Katniss!" Haymitch shout, " Come downstairs please, we're at the living room"

Actually he sounds pretty lucid this time and that catch my attention quickly. It's very weird to have a sober Haymitch at the house. I go downstairs and I go to the living room where I find a sober and good-looking Haymitch. He's dressed with one of his old tuxedos and he has a bright sea-blue tie. Prim is standing in front of him with an expression that is a mixture of shock and hapiness.

"Are you sober?" I asked very surprised for this scene.

" Katniss he needs to tell you something." Prim says " Something reallyimportant"

" Yes Katniss I'm sober and just like Prim just said I need to tell you something really important."

" Just say it so I can go back to my room" I say harshly

" This will interest you more than going back to your room sweetheart" he says using that nickname that I've always hate

I sighed deeply.

" I'm going to send you to a Boarding School" he says calmly.

" What?" I can't believe it a Boarding school? I thought he was going to send us to some public school at the Seam. I can't believe he actually cares about us. I look to Prim and she just nods.

" Panem Boarding High School and college" he continues " I think it's better that it's the better option, I know its not easy to live with a drunk and depressed uncle that doesn't seems to care. But the reason that I'm doing this is because I do care and I want the best for the both of you. I can't care of you two the way that's necessary so I'm sending you to a better place than this one. I wish I could take care of you but I know I can't, I'm too depressed about Maysilee. And I know that if you stay Katniss will take care of the three of us and I can't handle even the idea of that."

I felt my eyes getting watery, and I hugged my uncle. Even if he doesn't show it ,he do love us. "Thanks" I whispered.

" When do we start?" Prim asked happily. Her eyes are watery like mine, but she understands that this is the better way to get over this.

"Tomorrow" He grinned, " So I suggest you to start packing

"Girls did you two finished your packing?" Haymitch asks

"Yes" Prim and I say at the same time.

"Okay then let's go!" he replied

We get into the car and we lead to our new life.
