This is the last chapter. It's Katniss writing down her reaction to Prim's Diary. Just warning you, there's a lot of angst. I hope everyone liked the story :)
Thank you~

Peeta suggested writing a letter to Prim so that I could say good bye. I wasn't going to, but then I found her diary… that changed my mind. I still can't bring myself to pretend that I'm writing to Prim, but I can write down how I feel.
Rory came back to District Twelve to visit. His family decided to move to District Seven- that's where Hazelle was offered a job. Gale-
Anyway, Rory came by to see me before he left. He didn't want to go, I wouldn't be shocked if he moved back here when he's old enough. He gave me her diary. I didn't even know that she kept a diary.
He thought it would make me feel better. He couldn't of been more wrong.
I never asked Prim what happened during the fire bombing of Twelve; I didn't want to know. Now I do. She liked Rory. A lot. And he felt the same way. How could I not realize that?
Prim was close to Rory. They were best friends. She spent a lot of her time with him. Still wasn't that long.
She wanted to talk to me and spend time with me. And I ignored her. I knew I wasn't talking to her as much as I used to, but I didn't realize how little contact she had with me.
She helped Peeta get better. That must have been so hard for her. She was so strong- much stronger than I thought she was.
And then she burnt to death. Prim. My sister's gone. She's never coming back. Never.
I wonder what would have happened if she hadn't died. Would I still have shot Coin?
Did Prim like Gale more than Peeta? I couldn't tell. Sometimes it seemed like she hoped I would end up with Gale. Other times, with Peeta. Doesn't matter now. I'm with Peeta and I doubt it'll change. In the end, she wouldn't have cared. As long was I was happy, Prim would be too… she was happiest when other were happy.
She liked Finnick too, thought he was nice. I should of realized that she would see right through his act for the Capitol; she always noticed that kind of thing. She could tell if someone was actually a good person underneath- she saw the good in people. I didn't realize that they had ever had a conversation. Now they're both dead and I'll never be able to talk to either one of them again.
She was angry at me. Sweet, little Prim was angry at me. Upset that I didn't pay attention to her. But she always forgave me, thought she was overreacting.
I miss her so much. I thought the pain would go away. I hope it does- it's so hard to live like this. I regret not spending time with her. These last couple of years were hard on her too. I thought she would be fine- she was safe in Thirteen. Well, not safe; there's no such thing as safe. But she wasn't in as much danger as others. I couldn't have been more wrong.
Peeta's wrong. This hasn't helped. Well, maybe a bit, but not enough to do what Prim did and continue writing. Maybe one day.
I might to a short story seperate from this one about Prim and Rory's relationship :)
