Disclaimer: I don't own the Hunger Games because if I did Jay would exist!
I'm sitting on my bed when I hear a knock on the door. Katniss stands in the doorway, her eyes look puffy and red but I pretend not to notice.
'Hey can I come in?' I stand aside and let her pass me as I swing the door shut behind her. 'How did you do it?'
'Do what?' I stare at her confused.
'Calm Peeta down, make him not hate you. He attacks everyone else but not you and I don't get it. He doesn't even know you and yet he'll do anything you say.'
'They didn't tell you did they? Of course they didn't they're a bunch of assholes. I was with him; they put us in the same cell to further mess up our minds. I sat next to him every day and was forced to make sure he didn't kill himself or everyone else around him. He listens to me because he's forced to; I'm the only person he's had to talk to that didn't try to kill him for months. That creates a certain bond, but don't worry I'm not in love with him.'
'I was with him for years and you just show up here and...'
'And what? You know you're just like them. You don't trust me either. I've done nothing wrong.'
'All I'm saying is that you just happen to be the only person who can calm him down and until a week ago none of us even knew you existed. I'm just trying to protect my friends, especially Finnick.'
'Oh you wanna protect him now, didn't seem like you were doing much protecting last year when you were hunting his ass down in the Games. Or do you always try to kill your friends?' My face is inches away from hers and she glares me down with a death stare that would have probably turned me to jelly if I wasn't so pissed at her.
After a while of staring me down she shoves me in the chest with her fingers making me backup a few steps.
'If you try anything funny when I'm in 2, if I hear you did anything to any of them. I will hunt you down and skin you alive.'
'Oh you're leaving too bad you didn't tell me earlier or I would have thrown you a party. And don't worry about your friends I'll take real good care of them, unlike you. How many of your so called friends did you manage to get killed or imprisoned?' She pulls back her fist and aims for my face but the door swings open and Gale walks in staring at the two of us.
'Katniss your hovercraft is here. Is something wrong?'
'No everything's just perfect. Remember what I said.' She gives me one last glare before spinning on her heel and storming out of the room past Gale.
'Okay what was that about?'
'Oh you know just a little chat between old friends. Did you need something else?'
'No.'
'Great, then you'll just be leaving. Bye.' I grabbed him by the shoulders, spun him round and pushed him out of the room.
Kinda short but I needed to put it in there. Umm... t kinda makes Katniss out as a bitch but that's not what I'm aiming for, in the books she'd do anything to protect her friends and isn't that trusting of people so that's why I had it like this. It was going to be a friendly conversation but I don't really think they'd be friends so I wrote it like this instead. Review and favourite please.
