Chapter 2

Katniss POV

I walked with my head down over to his house and only looked up to open the gate. I walked up the steps, but a flicker of movement caught the corner of my eye. I looked over and saw Gale sucking Foxface's face.

"What the hell are you doing!" I screamed. They both jumped ten feet in the air.

"Katniss I can explain," Gale started.

"No, Gale. You don't because obviously you have something better to do." I said. I could feel tears breaming and I started to shake.

"Katniss, please,"

"No, Gale, we're done. Now you can go back to face sucking with that skunk face!" I sobbed and ran back to my house.

Wait, I couldn't go there. I basically moved out of my house. Damn it! This is like one of the worse days in my entire life! First Mr. Abernathy, than my mom, and now Gale! Where am I going to go now?

I could go to the woods, but Gale would think I would go there and try to find me. Maybe I could sneak in my basement window.

I went to my window and pushed it open. I'm small enough that I can slide myself through. But, I'm going to fall face first on the couch beneath the window. Oh well.

I got down to my hands and knees and crawled through the window. Once I got my upper body through, I looked down at the couch and saw Prim and Rue sitting there watching TV.

"Prim! Move before I crush you!"I said through gritted teeth. She jumped at the sound of my voice and looked up at me and pulled Rue off the couch and as soon as Rue was off I fell down onto the couch.

"Katniss, what are you doing?" Prim asked me.

"Well, if you didn't hear, which I guarantee you did, mom and I got into a fight and I basically moved out." I said as if it were nothing when in all reality, I just wanted to crawl up in a ball in a corner and cry my eyes out.

"Prim looked how I felt. Tears going down her face and her face getting bright red. "No Katniss. You can't leave me here with her. You can't! You know how she is when she's drunk! And it's scary!" Prim cried.

"Don't cry Prim, it's going to be okay." Rue told Prim and gave her a hug. I felt the tears come back but I couldn't let Prim see them.

"Maybe you could stay at Rue's house for a couple days. I can talk to her parents if you would like." I said and at that, Prim and Rue both started jumping up and down like three year olds.

"Yay!" They both shouted.

"Sh! You don't want mom to hear you would you?" I said to Prim and she shook her head.

"No," She said back.

"Okay, now what I want you to do is go up stairs, get some clothes and whatever else you need and then go into my room and get me clothes, my tooth brush and hair brush, my hunting jacket and boots and whatever else and than leave the house. If mom just so happens to be conscious, tell her your going outside with Rue and have Rue carry my bag and you leave the house and meet me out front, got it?" I looked at the two of them and they nodded and went up the stairs.

I climbed back through the window and went to the front yard and waited for Prim and Rue.

After about ten minutes of waiting, they come out of the house, each with a bag and come down the stairs.

"Are your parents home, Rue?" I asked her taking my bag.

"No, they're at work. But my big brother Thresh is."

"Okay," I said and Prim and Rue just kept talking and talking. Until we finally get to Rue's house.

She lives at the very edge of the Seam right across from town. Her house is almost like the rest of the Seam houses except for the fact that its well kept and not falling down.

Rue and Prim walked up the steps first and Rue opened the door.

"Thresh!" Rue called.

"What do you want!" A guy walks in with the same skin color as Rue, and very muscular. I recognize him from school. I think he was in my homeroom in 6th grade.

"Thresh, this is Prim and Katniss, Katniss, Prim, this is my older brother Thresh."

"Hey, Katniss," Thresh said kindly. "What did you want?"

"Katniss needed to talk to mom and dad but they aren't home so she has to talk to you. You guys talk, and we will be in my room." Rue said and Prim followed her up to her room.

"So, what's up?" Thresh asked me.

"It's kinda a long story. But to make it shorter, my mom has an alcohol problem and she was drunk and we got into a fight so I moved out. And I snuck through my basement window, almost crushing Prim and Rue. I told Prim and she started to cry and told me I couldn't leave her there with mom. I don't have a place to stay yet, so I was going to see if your parents would be kind enough to let Prim stay for a couple days until I found a place where we can stay." I told him. He looked at me with strong black eyes and shook his head.

"God, what has this world come too." He mumbled. "My parents won't be home until seven and its 530 now so I can watch them both if you like. And I can tell my parents about the situation and I'm sure they will let Prim stay for a couple days."

"Thank you so much!" I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.

"I guess I will see you in school." Thresh said awkwardly.

"Ya, thanks again!"

"No prob." He replied and I walked out of the door.

I decided to walk through town with my little bag over my shoulder. I was going to go to Madges' house to see if we could stay there, since Madge's dad loves Prim and would most likely let us stay in his huge house he has.

I walked past the old closed bakery, to see that its open again. Curious, I walked up the steps and opened the door.

There was a little ding from the bell above the door, and I saw a guy with blonde hair walk out of the storage room backwards with a tray of burning hot cheese buns. My favorite.

The guy put the tray on the counter on top of pot holders so he didn't burn the counter top. He turned around and said.

"Hello, welcome to Mellark Bakery how may I help- Katniss?" he asked flabbergasted. ( A/N yes it's a word )

"Peeta?" I asked just as shocked.

"What are you doing here?" he asked me turning back around to take the cheese buns off of the tray to put on the display.

"I was just walking to the mayor's house when I saw that the old bakery was open and decided to see why."

"Oh, well my dad bought the bakery and my whole family works here now."

"That must be fun." I said smiling at him.

He smiled back. "No, no it's not." He said laughing.

"Can I buy a cheese bun?" I asked pulling out my wallet.

"Sure, but it's on the house." He replied.

"No, Peeta it's okay. Here." I said and tried to hand him the money but instead, he handed me a cheese bun and pushed the money away.

"It's fine Katniss." He said. So I walked over to his tip jar and put the money in.

"Now it will go to a good cause." I said with a smirk.

"Clever. But thanks." He said and a timer went off in the storage room.

"Better go get that," I said and took a bite out of my cheese bun. It was so good!

"Yup, see you tomorrow?" He asked me pushing the door open.

"Of course. " I said and walked out of the bakery.

I walked to the mayor's house with my head down and trying not to bump into any body.

I finally got to the gate of Madge's house. I opened it and walked down the little pathway to her door.

I knocked on the door and about a minute later, Madge opened the door with a huge smile on her face.

"Hey Katniss!" she shouted gleefully.

"Hey, Madge. Can I talk to you?" I asked and she motioned for me to enter her house.

"What's up?" she asked as she plopped down onto her couch.

"I had I fight with my mom and I need a place to stay. " I told her. She gave me a look of sympathy and gave me a hug.

"You can stay here as long as you need Katniss!" she said.

"I also have something else to tell you," I said and I felt the sting in my eyes again but this time I let the tears fall.

"What is it Katniss, why are you crying?"

"I broke up with Gale because I saw him kissing Foxface!" I sobbed.

"Aw, Kat are you okay?"

"I will be. I just have to forget about him." I said and rubbed the tears from my eyes.

"Maybe you need a new boyfriend?" she offered.

"No, it's too soon. I don't want people thinking I'm a whore or something." I said.

"True, but I will try to make it happen. Anyone you have your sights on?" she nudged my arm playfully.

"Well, there is one person I might have my eyes on."

"Who!" she exclaimed.

"It's…"
