"If we take this bird in, with its broken leg,
We could nurse it, she said..."
I moaned and squeezed my eyes shut tighter.
"Come inside for a little lie down with me,
And if you fall asleep, it wouldn't be the worst thing..."
I yawned and hesitantly opened my eyes.
"But when I wake up, and your make up is on my shoulder..."
I brushed the hair off my own shoulders and stretched my arms out, untangling myself from the cream fluffy blanket.
"And tell me if I lie down, would you stay now?
Let me hold ya, oh..."
My lips curled up into a smile and I jumped out my bed. I began singing along as loud as I could, wiggling my hips and jumping up and down as I bobbed my head side to side.
"But if I kiss you will your mouth read this truth,
Darling how I miss you, strawberries taste how lips do...
And its not complete yet, mustn't get our feet wet,
Cause that leads to regret, diving in too soon,
And I'll owe it all to you, oh, my little bird.
My little bird..."
I hit the off button on my alarm as the chorus ended, continuing to sing Little Bird although the song was no longer playing. Today, I was about to start my plan. The plan that ends up with me being married...
I know I could have just had a baby without getting married to Will, but I promised Grandma and Grandad Everdeen I would make sure I was 'settled' and 'married' before I ever had a baby. I have promised people that I would make sure I was married first and I'm not going to break these promises. I mean, don't get me wrong, Will is a great guy and everything...but I don't know if I want to get married yet...I don't know if he's the one.
I know that I would have to do this though...that's why I came up with a plan.
I hurriedly went for a shower and sprinted down the stairs, towards the kitchen where my parents stood getting ready to head over to the bakery. I smiled at them and they smiled back, although regret and sympathy was still clear in their eyes. I nodded at them understandingly. "Hey mum, hey dad." I said before turning to grab a cupcake that was lying on the shelf.
"Hi sweetie. How was your sleep?" My mum asked, whilst my dad grabbed his boots and began putting them on.
"Great thanks. Hey is it okay if I go on a random 'surprise' trip with Will to district 11 today...I promise to bring you back some great bread Dad." I said, nonchalantly licking the icing off the cupcake.
My parents hesitated before realising that this must be something to do with the 'task'. "Only because of the y'know...otherwise I would never ever let you go." My Dad replied, biting his lip as he did so.
"Does Will even know he's going?" My mum asked.
"Not yet...it's supposed to be a 'surprise'. I've packed him a few pairs of clothes and they're in the car." I explained. My mum's face reddened slightly when she realised that we'd be spending the night together.
"Just remember to stay saf-"
Ring Ring.
Ring Ring.
Ring. Ring.
My mum looked at me apologetically before explaining that she really must be heading over to the bakery...that's probably the flour delivery man from District 11 on the phone. She gave me a kiss goodbye and my Dad gave me a swift hug before they both abruptly left the house. Omg...what was my mum about to say. I wrote a note for Rye to explain to him that I may not be here for a while. He was probably still asleep upstairs in his room unless he was with Bow...agh...that's just wrong...she's using him...why can't he see that?!
So yeah...it's short but I just wanted to update before bed...I'm also gonna update sometime tomorrow! Don't hesitate to tell me what you think! Ily all! Tysm for all the nice comments!
