Summer 2014. At the young age of fifteen. That's when Katniss realized that she had had more than just friendly feelings for Johanna Mason.
Baby, I think I'm crazy over you
They were on the way back from Johanna's family's summer home. Katniss has spent a few weeks during the summer with her family for years now. Jo's dad was driving the purple rental mini van (which they all called Barney's Bus), her mom was in the passenger seat while her brothers were in the seats behind them. The two girls were shoved all the way back in the non air conditioned portion. Katniss was gazing out the window, enjoying the view of the ocean and trees passing by when she felt a tap on her leg. She looked down to see that Jo had started to absentmindedly swing her left foot, not even realizing that she had hit the younger girl with her big toe. Kat look to the left and trailed her gaze up Jo's smooth, toned legs. Her stipple, sun kissed knees from their summer adventures. Thick, radiant thighs. Then up her toned, exposed torso from her cut off tank, where she had been holding Lolita in her right hand, casually laying the arm possessing the book on her crossed left upper leg. She had one of those yellow sticky notes that she loved to use as bookmarks on the back of the book. A small, pink tongue had descended to lick her chapped lips and touched the tip of her index finger that was subconsciously laying on her bottom lip. Oh, this promiscuous girl, Katniss had thought to herself.
My face lights up and it's apparent that I'm falling for you
After she finishes the page she's reading, she takes the sticky note off the back and puts it in the new page. She closes the book and looks up at the starry eyed girl. She looks conflicted for a moment before a sly grin makes way across her face. Katniss blushes and turned her gaze to the window on the left. She can feel her eyes on her cheek but doesn't dare to look over. When Johanna realizes this, she uncrosses her legs and gently lays them atop Katniss'. Katniss looks over at her with wide eyes and see that she's already engrossed back into her book. What the long haired brunette doesn't see is that tender, toothy smile behind the mysterious girls book.
Baby, I know I'm crazy over you...
November 2014. The day they realize.
And you should never cut your hair
"Katniss! Would you atleast talk to me?" Johanna was getting tired of the attitude. Katniss was known for ignoring you but she has never treated her best friend this way.
"Why?!" Katniss shouted. "Why did you do it, Jo?" The older girl was stunned to silence. She didn't understand the big deal. It was just hair. It was just her hair. What was the big deal about shaving the left side of her head and cutting the long curly cues to short locks?
"Because I felt like it. Now, why are you crying?
Cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder
After a long pause, the shorter girl responds, "Because I felt like it."
And you will never know just how beautiful you are to me...
As Johanna took Katniss' face in her hands, she gently wiped her tears away and gave her a small smile.
Summer 2015. At the broken hearted age of sixteen. That's when Johanna realizes that she wants Katniss Everdeen in a sexual manor. And possibly something more.
I'm notorious for thinking you're full of beautiful instead of hollow
9:56pm
The girls are laying in Johanna's bed. The house is completely empty because her parents are out of town and her brothers are most likely at their girlfriend's houses or at the local Saturday night party. Katniss is complaining about the movie playing and how stupid that the broken hearted couple always gets back together at the end when Johanna gets that feeling again and acts on impulse. It's a light peck and she thinks it's a huge mistake when her friend doesn't act back, not even a glare. But she's mistaken when Katniss grabs her face and kisses her back. It's demanding and fierce and beautiful. It's free and it's wild and it's brave. There are curious hands, small gasps and flicks of tongues. But neither cares that it's messy and new and sort of scary.
Neither of the teens realize that Katniss is on her back and Johanna is straddling her hips. All they can make sense of is that they just kissed their best friend and they liked it; but they don't tell each other that. They're scared to mention what will happen but Katniss doesn't care. She grabs the back of Johanna's head and squishes their mouths together and it's this time that Katniss sticks her tongue down Johanna's throat.
Can't get out of my head, I need you to save me.
If I am delusional, then maybe I'm crazy in love with you.
This is the night that changes everything. This is the night of discovery, passion, sexuality, belonging and even though they don't quite know it, it's the night of love.
Am I in love with you? Or am I in love with the feeling?
So this is just a filler chapter. There's gonna be more like these. I wanna do them in between every present day chapter so that way there won't be breaks for flashbacks. I think flashbacks are stupid because it takes away from the actual purpose and story line, but that's just me.
I forgot to say that I do NOT own anything in this story or the rights to the franchises *I cry, watching the days (sorry not sorry)*
The songs in this chapter are:
I Think I'm Crazy by Melanie Martinez (what a babe)
Wake Me Up by Ed Sheeran (WAKE ME UP INSIDE (sorry not sorry))
The Feeling by Justin Bieber ft. Halsey (hopefully my future wife lmao)
This chapter originally has 5k words but my computer updated in the middle of writing it and it didn't save any of my work but I think that this worked out better. There will be more about these three particular "back stories". I won't write about a back story unless I'm going to include it in a later chapter so keep that on mind.
So anyway, have a nice night or day, wherever it is for you. Reviews =Chapters :) see ya
