Chapter 10

(Katniss POV)

I start humming while waiting for Madge to open the door. While waiting, we heard Madge and the girls talking. I'm assuming that she's in the kitchen.

"Hey Glim, can you hear that sound?"

"No, what sound?"

"It's like there's some band or something at the backyard."

When we heard her say that, we all try to hold back our laughter, which in my case is hard since I'm still humming.

"Nevermind. Let's just go. I don't want to be late to the party." Madge says while she walks to what I'm assuming is the front door.

"Wait. It's your party anyway so it won't start until you're there." Annie stops Madge.

"Yeah, we have to check it out there might be someone back there or something." Delly agrees with Annie.

"I guess you're right. Let's check it out then." then we heard them walking towards the door. I started singing the first verse of the song.

Right right, turn off the lights,
We're gonna lose our minds tonight
What's the dealio?

I love when it's all too much

5 a.m. turn the radio up
Where's the rock and roll?

By the time Madge enters the backyard, I'm at the chorus part. Right on time, I think.

Party crasher, panty snatcher
Call me up if you a gangsta
Don't be fancy, just get dancey
Why so serious?
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be (never be)anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
Won't you come on (come on) and raise your glass
Just come on and come on and raise your glass

When Madge saw us, the look on her face is priceless. At first she is super surprised and then she started smiling so big I think it hurts.

Slam slam, oh hot damn
What part of party don't you understand
Wish you'd just freak out (freak out already)
Can't stop, coming in hot
I should be locked up right on the spot
It's so on right now

All of us are singing and dancing and all of us are looking at Madge who is now dancing with us.

Party crasher, panty snatcher
Call me up if you a gangsta
Don't be fancy, just get dancey
Why so serious?
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be never be anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks

Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass

Just come on and come on and raise your glass

(Oh shit my glass is empty, that sucks)

So if you're too school for cool

And you're treated like a fool
You can choose to let it go
We can always, we can always
Party on our own...

During the last chorus of the song, Annie gives us all paper cups with blue and white confetti in it.

So raise your... (oh, fuck)
... so raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be never be anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks

Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass

Just come on and come on and raise your glass
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass
Just come on and come on and raise your glass (for me)

After I sang the last line, we all went closer to Madge and we showered her with confetti. We laughed at the reaction of Madge. I knew that it really surprised her by just looking at her face.

"I thought the party was at Glimmers house." she hugged each of us.

"Well, it's a surprise! Like it?" Finnick tells her while putting an arm around a happy Annie.

Finnick and Annie is officially a couple about a few days ago. Finnick brought Annie to the beach and while Annie is swimming, Finnick wrote at the sand 'Annie Cresta, Be Mine?' with a big heart around it. In answer, Annie squealed and wrote a big 'Yes!' next to it. Annie wouldn't stop squealing and smiling while sharing us her wonderful beach experience.

"I. Love. It! Who's idea is this?" she asks us curiously.

Gale raises his hand slowly while looking down. We all smirk at him.

"Really?" Madge asks us raising her eyebrows at Gale. Gale nods while a blush is creeping at his cheeks. We all laugh.

"Well, let's party!"

"We all laugh and then we danced for about an hour and a half before we dragged Madge to a special chair in front of the stage.

"Just sit there cause we still have surprises for you." Jo informs her with a wink. We all hurried to our positions. The guys gather around Madge.

We all go to our instruments with me in front since I'm the singer. I can feel all eyes on us and I catch Peeta's eyes while fixing the microphone. I smile and wink at him and he did the same. I turn to the girls if they are all ready and they nod at me to start. I face the crowd and smile.

"Happy Birthday Madge! This is for you." And then Jo tapped her drum sticks and then they started playing the song. I started singing.

It's the boy you never told I like you,
It's the girl you let get away.
It's the one you saw that day on the train,
But you freaked out and walked away

It's the plane you wanna catch to Vegas,

Things you swear you'll do before you die,
It's the city of love that waits for you,
But you're too damn scared to fly.

I look around and I see that everyone is singing and dancing with us.

Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight,
Come alive, let the moment take you, lose control tonight.
Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight,
Come alive, let the moment take you, lose control tonight.

It's the time that you totally screwed up,

Still you're trying to get it out your brain.
It's the fight you had when you didn't make up,
It's the past that you're dying to change.
It's all the money that you're saving,
While the good life passes by.
It's all the dreams that never came true,
Cause you're too damn scared to try.

I walk down the stage to Madge and pull her up and then we started singing and dancing. I can see the guys watching us intently. Peeta on me, Finnick on Annie, Cato on Clove and Marvel on Glimmer.

It's a mad, mad world, gotta make an escape,

It's a perfect world, when you go all the way.
Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight.

So let's go, go, go, go all the way.

Yeah let's go, go, go, go night and day.
From the floor, to the rafters, people raise your glasses,
We could dance forever!

We're still singing and dancing when the song comes to an end.

Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight,
Come alive, let the moment take you, lose control tonight.
It's a mad, mad world, gotta make an escape.
It's a perfect world, when you go all the way.
Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight.

When the song ended, the guys all gave us a loud cheer and some are wolf-whistling. I turned to Madge and hugged her.

"Happy Birthday" I whisper to her.

"Thanks Katniss, I really appreciate it."

We went to join the group and Peeta gave me a kiss.

"You were wonderful there."

"Thanks." I kissed him. "It's your turn now. Good luck." I gave him one last kiss before I went to join the girls.

"You done licking baker boy?" Jo asks with a smirk.

"Shut up Jo and I was not licking his face." I hiss at her.

"Sure you didn't. But you sure like doing it."

I gave her one of my best death glares but she just smiled at me. We all turned our heads to the stage since we saw the boys about to start. Thresh on the drums, Finnick on the base, Gale and Cato on the electric, Marvel on the keys and Peeta on the microphone. I'm assuming they're playing some song with many singers on it since all of them have a microphone. Peeta and I locked eyes and I smiled at him and he smiled back before returning to the crowd.

"Hey Madge! This song is for you. Happy Birthday!" And with that Thresh started playing the drums and the other guys followed suit. I was surprised that they will sing a One Direction song. I was also surprised that Peeta can sing well.

You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is enough

Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you

The girls and I started singing and dancing. I can see that everyone is doing the same.

Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way you to flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know (oh oh)
You don't know you're beautiful!
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know (oh oh)
You don't know you're beautiful!
(Oh oh)
That's what makes you beautiful!

I look at Peeta and blew him a kiss. He smiled back and then he winked at me. Gale is also looking at Madge lovingly.

So c-come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a so-o-ong
I don't why
You're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eye eye eyes

Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you

Peeta and Gale came down. Peeta is walking towards me and Gale is doing the same to Madge. When we're on stage, we continued dancing.

Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know (oh oh)
You don't know you're beautiful!
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know (oh oh)
You don't know you're beautiful!
(Oh oh)
That's what makes you beautiful

Na, na ,na...

When the tone of the song slowed down, Peeta held my hand and stare at me Gale doing the same to Madge. I joined him in singing this part.

Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But you when smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know (oh oh)
You don't know you're beautiful!

On the last chorus Peeta and I held hands while dancing.

That's what makes you beautiful!

When the song ended, everyone erupted into applause and then we climbed down the stage. Once we got down, Peeta gave me a long kiss and I gladly kissed him back before we went back to the group.

We all laughed, talked, and danced the night away. But before I forgot, I went to Madge for her birthday present.

"Hey Madge."

"Hey Katniss. What's up?"

"Well, I wanted to give you this for your birthday." I handed her the box with the bracelet. She opened it and then she gasped. She turned to me and then hugged me very tight.

"Thanks Kat! I really love it."

"No problem. Now have fun with your party."

I went back to Peeta. He placed his arm on my waist pulling me closer. Whenever he does this, I can't help but feel very happy and safe. I don't want to lose him.

"Having fun?"He asked me taking a sip of his drink.

"Absolutely." I smiled back at him. He hugged me closer if that is even possible. Just then, a slow dance came up and some couples went to dance. Peeta removed his hand and I instantly missed his touch.

He offered me his hand and asked me, "May I have this dance, Miss Everdeen?"

"Of course, Mr. Mellark." I took his hand and he led us to the dance floor. He wrapped his arms and I wrapped mine on his neck. I rest my head on his chest listening to his steady heartbeat. I felt him place a small kiss on the top of my head before resting his head against mine while swaying to the music.

I look around us and see that everyone is dancing with their own partners. Just then the song ended and we saw Gale walking towards the stage with his guitar. He plugged it in and then he sat down at the stool near the microphone.

We sat beside Madge and Gale looked at us looking very nervous. We gave him a reassuring smile. He took a deep breath and started singing. He was looking at Madge the whole time.

Oh her eyes her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Yeah I know I know
When I compliment her
She won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me "Do I look okay?"
I'll say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah her lips her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh her laugh
She hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday

Oh you know you know you know
I never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for
Then just stay the same

So, don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I'll say

The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Yea-eah.

After he sang, he pulled out a single rose behind him and stared directly at Madge.

"Madge Undersee, will you be my girlfriend?"

We heard some gasps and some 'awws'. We all turned to Madge and then she stood up and run to the stage hugging Gale. Gale was caught off guard but then he started hugging Madge back. Madge broke the hug and nodded her head.

"Yes Gale, I'll be your girlfriend."

Gale's face broke into a huge grin and kissed Madge. We started clapping and some guys are wolf-whistling. They walked down the steps and walked towards us. We all hugged them and said our congratulations.

"Now Madge, we'll have our last performance."

We head to the stage and Thresh took the drums, Foxface on the keys, Finnick on the base, Clove and Cato on the electric and me on the microphone.

Peeta, Marvel, Gale, Glimmer, Annie, Delly, Johanna and Madge we're watching us.

"Okay, so this is our last performance for our lovely friend Madge Undersee." Thresh started playing and the others played after him. I waited for my turn. I took a deep breath and started singing.

It feels like we been living in fast-forward,
Another moment passing by.
(Up Up Up All Night)
The party's ending but it's now or never,
Nobody's going home tonight.

After our last performance, we continued to dance until it was already 3 am. We agreed to just have a sleepover since all of us are exhausted.

We ended up with all the girls in one room, and the guys in one room. After changing, I immediately fell asleep after my head hits the pillow.

Thanks for reading! Hope you like it! :)
