I get up to the room and burst through the door, Alex is nowhere to be seen. I walk to my room with tears on the verge of falling down my cheeks; Alex is laid under the covers on the side of the bed that I sleep on, cuddling what seems to be my dressing gown. I lock the door behind me and Alex turns over to look at me, he gives me a half hearted smile and has red eyes.

"Why have you been crying?" I ask quietly

"I thought he was in love with you..."

"So did I but he played my feelings like they were nothing and now expects me to show him compassion."

A drop of Cinna's finest mascara rolls down my cheek so Alex gets out of bed to hug me,

"I love you so much!" He says with his voice returning back to normal again.

"I love you to Alex!" I reply "For once when I say this I really feel like I am making you happy" I cry

"There, there baby don't cry" He says as he ushers me to sit in his lap, like a child.

He try's to lay me down on his lap and kiss me but I pull away, grab some clothes and head for the bathroom to clean my wet face up.

I come back in a red silk nightdress that comes to the knee and turn to Alex,

"Why is it that every time something happens you just forget about it and try to kiss me?"

"I try to rid your mind of all the bad that's happened, why don't you like it?"

"No I just wondered."

"Do you know you look almost as gorgeous as the night of the interviews?"

"Thanks, I don't feel it..." I say whilst laughing.

"So... What's going to happen with Todd and Rochelle?"

"We will just have to wait until tomorrow..."

"Okay, night honey"

"I'll be back; I'm going to watch the television, to see if there is news from the Capitol"

"Okay, don't be to long"

"I won't" I reply but frankly I would stay out there all night if I could.

I walk out in my dress with matching slippers; nobody will look at me, even Effie only gives me a brief glance. Haymitch is at the table eating and drinking to his hearts content whilst the others are doing their makeup and listening to Effie's nail technique on how to make painting them a work of art. I sit on the sofa and turn the television on but nothing comes up on the screen, suddenly the Capitol seal shows and Caesar Flickerman appears,

"Capitol News!" A voice says as the subtitles start,

"Hello everyone and welcome to the Capitol News! Our top stories tonight; Tributes get a shock as President Snow tells all about his plans for a second Hunger Games, What colours are really this season, how your nails can look perfect and Miss Charley Mellark, torn between two or is there a clear winner of her love? All of that is coming up tomorrow. But we can talk about our last story so gather around the television for the really juicy love triangle that is Charley Mellark!"

Everyone gathers around the T.V. even Alex makes it out of bed with a quilt for us to share on the sofa but I move to sit on the floor in front of the T.V. instead.

"Now to Claudius Templesmith for more..." He says as they go live just outside the Tribute Hotel.

"Thank you Caesar, now we were all in love when we heard about the Star-Crossed lovers from District 12, not that it had ever happened before," He chuckles. "But this was truly something specially, you could see it in their eyes that they were definitely in love" He says as the clip from the end of the interviews is played when the Capitol give an enormous roar as we laugh.

"But who would have thought another tribute would leave her thoughts all fuzzy, not us!" A picture of Todd comes up when we are up the tree in the arena.

"Well you can't blame her, he is handsome but isn't Mr Heroy better looking?"

"I see, I see" Caesar answers "Well thank you Claudius and that will be it for tonight, we will leave you with one thought. Who will be Mr Right for our Miss Mellark?! Will she be a Mrs Heroy or Mrs Averis?"

The television goes off and Alex looks at us all,

"Averis? What type of surname is that?!" He says as his starts to lose control of his laughter,

"Alex it's not that funny" Miriam says

"Alright everyone let's go to bed remember it's another big, big, big day tomorrow!" Effie says joyfully as everyone walks to their rooms but me and Haymitch stay to talk to one another.
