Part 3! I was in a lot of pain. Seriously I can only eat rice because I can't chew a thing because of the soreness in my braces. Grrrr. Anyway, here is Part 3!
It is finally 7:00! I had done nothing but walk around and try to figure out where the Rock 'n' Roll diner is. I found it and I'm on my way there now. Nothing really happened to me today. I wonder what Clove did. Never mind, I really do not want to know. I make it to the diner ok, when I get there I see a "HELP WANTED" sign in the window. Huh. Guess I know where to come. You know just in case. When I walk in the first thing I see is Thresh singing karaoke. I think the song is Not Over You by Gavin DeGraw. Or whatever his name his.
Dreams, that's where I have to go If you ask me how I'm doin I would say I'm doin just fine Damn, damn girl you do it well If you ask me how I'm doin I would say I'm doin just fine If you ask me how I'm doin I would say I'm doin just fine
to see your beautiful face, anymore
I stare at a picture of you and listen to the radio
Hope, hope there's a conversation
where we both admit we had it good but
until then it's alienation, I know, that much is understood
And I realize
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I'm forced to face the truth
No matter what I say, I'm not over you
Not over you
And I thought you were innocent
You took this heart and put it through hell
But still you're magnificent
I I'm a boomerang doesn't matter how you throw me
Turn around and I'm back in the game
Even better than the old me
But I'm not even close without you
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I'm forced to face the truth.
No matter what I say, I'm not over you
And if I had the chance to renew
You know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do
I could get back on the right track
But only if you'd be convinced
So until then
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I'm forced to face the truth
No matter what I say, I'm not over you
Not over you
Not over you
Not over you
He finishes and everybody claps including me, Finnick, and Annie. I walk over to their table and take a seat next to Annie and Thresh comes to sit next to Finnick.
"You were amazing!" I say once he is seated.
"Thanks." He says with a smile.
"Where's Rue?" I ask.
"She's with my ex- wife this weekend." He says and looks down.
"Oh." Is all I can say. Thank God Annie breaks the awkwardness.
"Where's Clove? She was supposed to come with you." She asks. To tell or not to tell. I guess I'll be nice and not tell.
"She doesn't feel good." I say. They raise their eyebrows at me and I nod my head.
"We already ordered, I hope you don't mind. We got you a cheeseburger and fries." Finnick says.
"It's fine, I don't care. But, can you guys tell me something?" I ask.
"Yeah, shoot." Thresh says.
"What do you know about Peeta Mellark?" I ask. They have to know at least a little something, it is a small town.
"Well I don't really know all that well except that he is 19 and he lives on a farm with his aunt and uncle. Oh and that he was taken away from his mom at 15 years old and that his dad owns the bakery but doesn't like to talk to anybody. That's why he doesn't like to go anywhere near the bakery." Annie explains.
"Really? I thought he was scared of bread." Finnick says which earns him a slap on the head from Thresh.
"Hey! Watch it! Do you want to mess up the big pile of sexy right here?" he asks motioning to his face. I chuckle and he turns to face me. He gives me a wink then turns back to Thresh.
Thresh laughs then says, "More than anything in the world." Finnick glares at him which causes me and Annie to laugh even harder.
Finnick curses under his breath while the food is being served. We all dig in and I decide to ask another question.
"Why did Peeta get taken away from his mom?' I ask.
Finnick goes to answer but Thresh beats him to it. "She beat him."
My chin drops to the floor. His own mother abused him? What sick creature would do that to their own son?
"But strangely enough she didn't beat his two older brothers just him." Finnick states. My chin drops even farther causing French fry crumbs to fall out. They laugh at me and it make my cheeks go red.
"Hey Katniss, you should sing!" Annie squeals.
"What song?" I ask. Singing sounds really good at the moment.
"Uhmm.." Annie goes on.
"Oh I know Dog Days are over by Florence and the Machine!" Thresh says. I smile and get up I can hear whistles and dog howls from my table. I chuckle to myself as I get on the stage.
"Ok well it looks like I'm going to be doing some karaoke so music man can you play tune number 9 please?" I say.
Moments later the song begins to play I smile and take a deep breath and begin to sing.
Happiness, it hurt like a train on a track The dog days are over Run fast for your mother and fast for your father The dog days are over Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back The dog days are over Run fast for your mother and fast for your father The dog days are over The dog days are over The dog days are over
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses
'Cause here they come
And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
And what was left after that too. oh.
Struck from a great height
By someone who should know better than that
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
'Cause here they come
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
'Cause here they come
The dog days are gone
The horses are coming
So you better run
The dog days are gone
The horses are coming
So you better run
I finish and people start to clap I hear someone whistle. I search for the person when my eyes meet with a pair of sky blue ones that can only belong to none other than Peeta Mellark.
Ok so the diner is done! What do ya' think? Like it? Love it? Absolutely hate it? Tell me! Review!
