Hi guys, this is my first fanfic so it's gonna be bad. I suck at grammar so bear with me! I usually don't write fanfic but this idea came to me and I had to write about it, especially since one of my friends committed suicide last year :( This is serious issue so if you ever feel like someone you know or yourself feels this way. Tell them their worth it and encou rage them to get help! And I am by no means an expert but kindness goes a long way! Anyway enough with my rambling.
Prologue
In the town of Panem a car was speeding down the road. two people sat in the front, a blonde girl and a boy with dark hair and olive skin. It was dark outside, around midnight and the girl looked unhappy.
" Gale, you really need to stop, your drunk! We can take a cab, this is dangerous." The blonde girl begs. The boys eyebrows furrow, as if he's mad. he's about eighteen and is hopelessly drunk.
"Primm, itss fineee." The boy is slurring his words. He steps on the gas pedal harder as if trying to break it. The young girl looks back at him begging.
"Really Gale, Your putting us in danger-"
"CAN YOU JUST SHUT UP PRIM!" He screams, half mad. He makes a sharp left, running the red light. BAM! A truck turns from the left out of nowhere, the sound of tires screeching can be just be heard over the huge explosion. the boy doesn't even have time to react as the car burst's into flames.
Katniss POV
I'm sitting in my compartment, working on an report due, and glad i'm alone. Ok, it's technically also my sisters too, which I don't mind. Even though it only had one bedroom and we have to share a room, I'm fine with it. Hey, what can I do? I just graduated college with a ton of student debt. At the age of 24 it was my job to keep us afloat financially after our father died. After all, my mother just stares at the ceiling most of the time anyway. And don't get me wrong, I love my sister, but sometimes I just need alone time to reflect. After all, my boss Plutarch Heavensbee wants a full report due on the wolf population at the national park. Plus I bet she's having plenty fun at her senior party with my best friend Gale. Gale and I met one day in the woods, my father had just died and my hunting was the only thing keeping Prim and I alive. I was just around 12 and he was 14. We helped each other keep our families alive in the woods. I would have picked her up, but I was sitting here doing a stupid report so I asked Gale.
Time ticked by and I sighed, my eyelids getting heavier by the minute. The sleep was so inviting and warm, whispering for me to just close my eyes... I jerk my head, get yourself together, do you want to lose your job? One part of my brain scolds, sadly its the rational part. I really need to get this done so I stand to take an shower to clear my head. The warm water cascading down my body, relaxing my muscles and waking me up. Relieved, I got dressed in my pajamas, braid my hair and get ready to get that report done and go to bed. I just sat down when RING!. shit I think. I look pick up my phone, who would be calling at this hour? Whoever it was, I would kill them. When I look down I see they have been calling me for the last 20 minutes! This person really is crazy.
"Hello?" I ask crankily. This person better have a hell of a good reason for calling me.
"Is this Miss Katniss Everdeen?" Oh crap, officials, I'm suddenly awake, my gut feeling telling me something is wrong. I gulp, I don't like officials.
"Uh Yeah." I stutter, what did they want! are they arresting me? I think of everything I might have done wrong, but I didn't commit any crimes, not that I could think of! what if something happened to Prim, No don't think that.
"There was a car accident regarding Mister Gale Hawthorne and Miss Primrose Everdeen. Gale is in critical condition but Primrose Everdeen unfortunately didn't make it. They are at the hospital right now." I hang up. Shit is the only thought I can form as my whole world comes crashing down
