Rory P.O.V.
"Don't worry Prim it will be okay." I tell her and we still sit here with her in my lap. I look at the clock and see that it's 5 o'clock in the morning, too bad there is no windows in this closet of a room because I can't see Prim's face so I can't tell if she's asleep or still awake.
"Rory," I hear her whisper, "o you think I'm being stupid?"
"No Prim of course not, it scares me to even think of you in a situation like that. You are defiantly not being stupid; if anyone is stupid it's me I mean I'm the one who left you alone with him."
That's the thing about staying up all night not talking, it brings bad thoughts to mind, because I really do blame myself even though I subconsciously know it's not my fault.
"Rory Hawthorne, don't you dare say anything like that, it was entirely my own fault, I was the one who put myself in that position."
"Prim none of it was ever your fault." I tell her as I lift her chin up to look me in the eye "It was not your fault" I say sternly.
I slowly let her face go as if I'm afraid it will shatter like glass and I'm not sure that it won't. As we sit there I slowly lay down with her still in my arms because I have to say that just because I'm not the one who just had a traumatizing experience it doesn't mean I'm not tired too and then I drift off.
When I wake up I see that Prim is still asleep and I'm glad she is because I'm sure she got even less sleep than I did. And I realize something this experience has made me act extremely mature and I'm sure my dad would have been proud. I hear someone knock on the door and I stiffen afraid for Prim that it's Drew but then I realize that it's a girl's voice.
"She's right in here." I hear Gale say. And I can tell that someone's about to come in so I close my eyes and pretend to be asleep. "Oh, I see." I hear someone say so I open my eyes just a crack and see that it's Katniss. "And did she tell you what was wrong?" I hear Katniss say.
"Um no, just something about Drew and that she needed to see Rory." Gale explained. I had to stop myself from smirking because the second Katniss finds out about what Drew did to her younger sister she will hunt him down like her and Gale used to hunt down rabbit.
"Well I guess they'll have to wake up sometime." Katniss says.
But then Gale cuts in "You know I think they just fell asleep, and anyway we need to catch up, so how've you been Catnip?" I give a light sigh and I know Gale will know this is a thank you because I hear him give a light chuckle in response. As soon I know the door is closed I try to fall back to sleep.
When I wake back up I see that it's 9:00am. I look to see Prim and see that she's already awake.
"How long have you been up?" I ask.
"About two minutes."
"So about Drew…" I start but then she cuts me off by saying
"I don't want to talk about it." We fall back into silence and I hear Gale laughing outside.
"Why don't we get up?" I say feeling a little awkward.
"Good idea." As we walk out the room grows silent, Gale is looking questioningly at me and Katniss' face is a mixture of accusing and thankfulness. "So…" Gale says, "Do you guys want breakfast?" I notice that I'm starving and greedily nod my head so Gale gets up and walks into the kitchen.
"Um, I'll help." I say and then follow Gale into the kitchen.
"Need some help?"
"Sure, so what was wrong with Prim?" he asks. So I tell him everything and the more I say the angrier he gets.
"I knew it; I knew he was no good!" Gale almost shouts.
"I'll get the plates." I say indicating that the subject is over.
Prim P.O.V
I tell Katniss the story, the whole thing right down to the exact words that Rory used to soothe me. I notice that Katniss is unusually still.
"Katniss what's wrong?" I ask and then she snaps.
"WHERE IS HE? WHERE DOES HE LIVE? I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!" She starts screaming, and then I realize Rory must have told Gale too because he is also yelling. Katniss gets up and walks into the kitchen "Gale did Rory tell you?" she says through gritted teeth.
"Yes he did." Gale replies, "You know what Rory, Prim we'll be right back. Oh and by the way Rory, have you seen my knife?"
"Umm, Katniss, Gale, I don't think this is really a good idea, I mean you'll go to jail." Rory says trying hard to talk them out of it.
"You know the only person who should go to jail is Drew." Katniss practically shouts.
"No Katniss you can't," I say, "think about Peeta, and Finnick and Rue, it will hurt them if you go to jail. You don't want your children to grow up without a mother like we did without a father do you? And think of Peeta, what if he reacts the same way mother did? What if he shuts down leaving the kids to fend for themselves? You can't do that to them, it would be wrong. Imagine looking into the eyes of Drew's family after you kill him, sure what he did to me was horrible but he didn't take my life so you shouldn't take his." I can't believe I just said that but I had to, I can't lose my sister. And I figure it worked on both of them until Gale says, "Yeah, well I don't have anything to live for so I'll kill him for you Katniss." And then he turns to walk out the door, but Katniss grabs his arm, "Maybe she's right Gale, why don't we just…talk to him?" Gale agrees and so off they go, leaving Rory and me alone.
"So why don't we have breakfast?" Rory asks.
"After all that and you can still think of food?" I ask innocuously.
"Well, what can I say I stayed up all night with a baby." He says with a smirk, I feel my eyes go wide and then we both start cracking up.
