(Katniss's POV)

When I get home, my stomach drops when I see only one child in the living room. She hates me. She ran away. She never wants to see you again.

"Hey, uh, Brogan, where's May?" I ask, hiding my nervousness under a mask I have perfected as a teenager.

He looks at me, face calm unlike the worry I'm feeling.

"Don't know, she wasn't here when I got home." He shrugs of the question like it doesn't hold any weight. But it does. I try to distract myself from my worries by cutting the vegetables for dinner. After almost an hour the door creeps open, and May slowly walks inside. Our eyes meet, and she looks at me like I'm a stranger to her. I try show all of my emotions throw my face. May looks right through me, turns and walks upstairs to her room.

"Brogan, you know what, why don't call some friends and go for dinner to celebrate the first day of school." A smile breaks out on his face and I nod him over to me so I can give him some money. After he'd made his his plans and left, I go up stairs to talk to May.

(May's POV)

I open the door and am met with my mothers glare, but I don'y know her anymore, she is a completely different person now. My heart aches when I see how much pain she is in from the situation by I force myself to ignore it, and walk upstairs to my room. I softly shut the door, and plop down on the edge of my bed. I take the large book out of my backpack, and place it in the very back of my closet. I lay on my bed and begin to process the beginning of the video. My parents. They look the same, but different. Strong, but weak. Brave, but scared. Both so young, so beautiful, so innocent. But those kids I saw on the screen, I don't know them at all. My parents, I don't know them, not yet. I will finish those tapes. And after that I will ask questions. I will.

Then my door slowly opens and my mom slowly makes her way across the dark wood floor. She looks down, as if she doesn't know if she is allowed to look me straight in the eye. I can't help but tense up when she sits down on my bed next to me, and the look on here face makes me instantly regret it. She looks up and has tears in her eyes. This is one of the few times mom has let me cry. Oh I know when she is crying, but I never see it happening, or know why. Dad is always the first one on the scene. That's how it's always been in this house. They are always their for each other. Maybe one day I'll have a relationship like theirs. But hopefully, through the video tapes.

When mom finally pulls herself together she looks and the ceiling and sniffs. "I'm sorry, May. I really am. Your father and I...we, we, always knew you and Brogan, would eventually find out, we just, hugh, I resented you finding out. I just *sniff* didn't want *sniff* you to *sniff* hate me..." She finishes softly. I make eye contact with my mom, and she wipes away a tear, letting me know I started to tear up as well. I don't know what to say. After a few minutes of awkward silence, she gets up and walks toward the door. Out of the corner of m eye, I see her turn toward me in the door frame, brush away one more tear, and softly close the door. I decide I need to go back to to the house tomorrow. I text Ali and Lars the plan and run down stairs to grab some food. I tip-toe down the stairs and see my mother is on the phone, probably with my dad. I run to the fridge and grab a glass of water, then as I'm coming out of the pantry with a bag of popcorn I over hear some words my mom says to dad, and decide to eavesdrop ."Peeta, I don't know what to think, she barely said anything." I'm guessing the long pauses is the time my dad is talking. "I know I have to think positively" *pause* "But the weird thing is it's like while I was talking, she seemed to be thinking of something else." *pause* "Yeah, I agree, she's definitely up to something." I hold my breath, and wait for my dad to responds. "Hm, I guess your right, if it escalates into something we should be worried about then, we'll get involved." I smile at my parents decision. They trust me, though right now they really shouldn't. I hear the words that signal the end of the conversation between my parents. I run up the stairs, while staying as quiet as possible.

Not even ten minutes later, my dad knocks on my door. After the okay from me he walks into my room. "Hey flower." I love the nickname dad made for me, you know, May...flowers, I don't know, it's sounds sweet though. "How are you feeling?" He asks shooting me a look that I can't quite place.

"What do you mean?" I ask, though I have a good idea what he's talking about.

"Flower, I get if you don't want to talk about it, but I want you to know that you can always come to me, whatever the reason." He kisses my forehead, and walks out of my room, leaving me alone with only my thoughts of tomorrow.

(Katniss's POV)

I hear Peeta's heavy footsteps as he comes down the hall to join me in our bedroom. Our large room contains our bed, a large desk, a couch, and a bathroom. At the moment I am sitting on our couch reading a book, trying to keep my mind off the events tat occurred today. He walks in and sits beside me smiling at my failing attempt of distraction. My curiosity gets the best of me, "What did she say?" I can't bear to look him in the eye when I ask the question.

"Nothing" He says with a smile on his face. This answer causes my head to snap towards him in confusion.

"What do you mean?" My voice pleading for answers.

"Exactly what I said, she said nothing." I get slightly annoyed by his lack of concern, and I want to know his secret he is using to stay calm.

"How do you do it?" He gives me a questioning look so I add to my question. "Stay so calm I mean."

"Well, I guess it helps to know that no matter what happens we always get through it, always have, always will. We did it together, and now their are two more of us. We are a family, and we will always get through the hard times, as long as we have each other."
