Quite a few hours pass me by but I want to stay and watch the city, I see the town below get busier and busier. I hear shouting as well but it is too loud to come from the city, I think Alexander and Haymitch are arguing so I don't think I will go back just yet… I don't particularly want to hear them arguing anyway. The last thing I need is to hear one of their petty arguments.
Suddenly I see Alex run out of the doors towards me screaming,
"I've found her, I've found her!"
"I didn't know you missed me that much last night!" I laugh. As I jump off the wall he swings his arms around me, hugging me tightly with tears in his eyes.
"Effie came into your room and you were gone" He explains.
"I really couldn't sleep."
"Missing me eh?" He says cheekily, as if he was turning back into himself.
"No!" I loudly deny,
"I missed you. Effie sent us out as search parties."
"Really?"
"Yes" He says as he hugs me again, "Yes for both questions" He laughs but I can see the relief in his eyes.
"We need to go back to see Effie and Haymi-"
"Wait…" He says.
"Yes?"
"Didn't you wonder where I was?" He asks.
"A little but, I didn't know whether to ask or not."
"Well you could have asked… anyway, I thought you might be getting sick of me so I didn't show up, therefore giving you a night of peace."
"I never said to you that I was getting sick of you. Did I?" I say thinking that he is just saying it for attention but boy could I have been anymore wrong!
"No. Now we can go back." He says with a smile.
"Okay, let's go!" I say cheerily.
When we get back I see Effie and Haymitch looking rather relieved to see me.
"Charley! You're alright!" Effie screeches.
"We thought you were a goner, that you had done a runner unexpectedly!" Haymitch laughs.
"Well I'm alright so can everyone stop worrying!" I ask sternly and they all nod back.
"Why don't you go to sleep on the sofa?" Alex asks.
"I've had all of the sleep I can manage to get so lay off Alex."
He walks closer to me and holds both of my hands
"Wait until we are alone."
"What?" I ask grumpily.
"I have a surprise for you later."
"Oooh! You got me all excited now!" I laugh sarcastically much to the displease of Effie and Alexander but to the pleasure of Haymitch.
"Right you two, time for training! Haymitch will take you there and pick you up."
"Yes Effie" I say obediently.
