Katniss POV

"PEETA!" Haymitch screamed at the top of his lungs going towards his room. I can hear him kick open the door. They argue for what seems like hours, but in reality is only a minute. Then I hear a sound of glass shattering and I run to the door, afraid one of them are hurt. When I enter, I see Haymitch with what looks like a shattered vase at his feet and blood in his hands. "Haymitch!" I shriek "It's OK, sweetheart, I'll be fine." He said, with anger still in his eyes. "Haymitch." I say quieter, but my voice still cracks. I don't want anyone else being hurt because of me. "Listen, sweetheart, just go back to your room and sleep, we'll be home in an hour." He tries "No, you can't get hurt anymore, not because of me." But Haymitch wins over, he looks at me and with what seems like unspoken communication between us. He wants me to leave, let him do this in peace, he wants to help me and I'm holding him back. Without saying another word, I walk out, but I don't go to my room, I stand outside the door, my ear to the wall. I can just make then out saying, "It's your fault, Haymitch!" I didn't force you to drink! You did that on your own!" "One, you knew I would say yes! I was in the Hunger Games for Christ's sake! And two, I wasn't talking about that." "Well what were you talking about, may I ask?" "She hated me ever since the interviews because you told me to tell them I love her!" "You told me you did and I figured out a way to use it to our advantage!" "If I was going to tell her I would've but I wanted to do it in private!" "Then why didn't you?" "Because she has a boyfriend!" then he lowers his voice "And I might've ruined it for them." "How?" "Because she was kissing me half the time, Haymitch!" his voice risen again. "I know I'd be pissed if I were him! There really isn't a reason he shouldn't be." "Get over it, Peeta! They will be fine, the point is that you two are alive because of that! I never thought that you would repay her by trying to have sex with her! Like you said, she has a boyfriend!" "I was drunk!" "You didn't see me doing that any did you?" "No! But first of all, I wouldn't want to see you and second, you've been a drunk for 24 years! I'm not that old!" "Well, let me assure you that I didn't." "You also barely left your house, Haymitch! And, like I told you, I love her anyway!" "When you love someone you don't do that! When you love someone you don't drink! Whe-" "When you love someone but they love someone else you do! In fact you do a lot and when you're drunk that happens. I- I couldn't help it Haymitch." I could hear him starting to cry and I felt bad. He loved me and I've treated him like it was all fake just to get sympathy. It was real for him. I resist the urge to burst in the door because I don't want them to know I'd been listening the whole time. After a few minutes of silence Haymitch says "You've got to fix this." "She'll never forgive me." "You've got to try." I run back to my room just in case he would come and I don't want to be out there when he does. After I get in my room and he doesn't show up for a minute, I decide that I should pack up my things because we are going to be in 12 soon. Just as I am zipping up the bag, I hear a knock on the door, mot the same one from earlier, but a gentle knock. "Come in." I say and Peeta walks in the door "Hey." I say, my breath shorting from fear that he hasn't completely recovered from the alcohol "Hey." He responds. We sit in silence for a moment then he blurts out "I am so, so, so, so sorry! I feel horrible and I know you'll hate me forever but I didn't really know what I was doing and now you'll hate me forever!" I laugh a little just because it repeated that last part, but I'm sure I sounded cruel because of it. "I couldn't hate you… forever." He lets out a small sad smile "I don't love you though, Peeta. No matter how drunk one of us is." His head goes down as I say this. "Peeta, sit down." I say sheepishly and he sits on my bed next to me. "Katniss-" I stop him but before I can say anything the train comes to a halt and I look out the window to see out station, home!
