Good news and bad news. Good news is some rebels are trying to rescue Peeta, Johanna and Annie. A propo was aired at the same time so that it would help the rescue team by keeping the Capitol's attention on the screen. The bad news is that Gale is one of the people doing that. Katniss is still worried. So if Finnick. I was talking to Finnick today and he told me what he told Katniss. That at least if they don't make it, they'll die. If they die, they're not with the Capitol and can't be tortured.
Oh yeah, you're probably wondering about Rory (sorry, it's still odd to talk to a book). Well, I cornered him the other day and told him that I would need some time to figure out my feelings. He was in a fairly good mood, considering what I was saying. He basically said that it was okay, to let him now when I could, and that we should act like he never said anything. Delly was sweet when I talked to her, but she wasn't that much help.
What am I going to do? I know that I like him a lot. But I don't know how much. Am I repeating myself? Probably. Maybe I should tell you about the night of the firebombing. I think I'm ready…
We gasped as Katniss shot the arrow at the force field. I couldn't believe what she just did. It guaranteed her death. Explosions were happening on the screen, I knew I would never see her again. I don't know what I was going to do, but it didn't matter. At that moment, the power went off. I knew something bad was about to happen. My mother, Rory and I ran outside to see what was going on. We were standing there for a few minutes when Rory clued in.
"Run," Rory muttered.
"What? Did you say run? Run where? Why?" I questioned.
"There's going to be an attack. We have to find my family. Grab your mother and let's go!" he exclaimed.
That's when the first bomb dropped. We had to drag my mother down the road. She seemed to be in shock.
"Gale! GALE! Vick! Posy! GALE!" we shouted.
"RORY!"
We turned to our left and saw a small crowd running towards us. Gale was at the front of it.
"Rory! Prim! Hurry, we have to get out of here! Sneak out of a hole under the fence and run to the lake. You know where that is, don't you Prim? I'm going to round up a few more people. We go to the woods soon," Gale explained.
"What about mom and Vick and Posy? What about Mrs. Everdeen? What do I-" Rory demanded.
"Take Prim and go! Mom, Vick and Posy are already in the woods, waiting for us. Take them to the lake and we'll follow! Mrs. Everdeen can do what she wants but you two have to go!" Gale yelled as he pushed us in the direction of the fence.
We were lucky. They weren't dropping many bombs in our direction. Once we got in the woods, we looked for Rory's family. I was still upset that my mother hadn't bother to make sure I was okay before running off with the crowd. It only reminded me of what Katniss used to say about her.
"MOM! VICK! Posy?" Rory yelled. "Where are they, Prim?"
"Gale probably told them which entrance to the woods he was going to use (even though he didn't tell us). They're probably waiting there. We've got to get to the lake. I don't remember exactly where it is and we want to get there as soon as possible so we should leave now," I said.
We were running away from the fires, but we could still smell the smoke. I was starting to feel sick. Before I knew what happened, I was lying down, on the ground.
"Wh- what happened?" I asked.
"You passed out from the smoke. I kept following the direction you thought the lake was in, and you were right! Here we are. Now we just have to wait for the others," Rory explained.
"Why is my face wet?"
"You seemed really warm. I didn't know what to do, so I splashed some of the lake water onto your face. I hope it cooled you off," he said.
"Thanks."
We sat there, by the lake, for a long time. We tried to play games to distract ourselves, but we couldn't help worrying about are families. I wondered if Katniss was still alive. We basically gave up hope.
"What's that noise?" I asked.
"No idea."
"RORY! RORY! Prim!"
We turned around and saw a crowd coming towards us. Rory's mother was at the front, running towards us. Vick was behind her and Gale was holding Posy. And beside Gale, was my mother. The person who I didn't think would make it. I was more like Katniss than I thought.
Rory's mother ran up and hugged us both. Vick, Posy and Gale did the same thing. I thought my mother had forgotten about me, then I saw her running towards me.
"Primrose! I thought you were gone!" she cried as she hugged me.
"I'm fine. Don't worry, I'm fine," I replied.
Finally, I wrote about that horrible event. You might be wondering how that effected my feelings towards Rory. Well, one small detail I left out was that when I woke up by the lake, my head was on Rory's lap. He put your head there so that it was easier to pour water on it, you might be saying. That could be true, but I don't know. I should of realized sooner that he had feelings for me.
I really wish that I could ask Katniss about how I should act. But she is too busy worrying about Peeta. Lately, I feel so angry at her. She barely pays attention to anyone besides Gale, Finnick, anyone involved with the propos and Peeta (who isn't even here). Why doesn't she have time for me anymore? I understand that she's part of the war, but, couldn't she at least talk to me? She could ask me how my day was. Or how my training is going. I don't think she even realizes that Rory and I are good friends. Gale noticed. Vick and Posy noticed. Our mothers noticed. Other friends noticed. Even Finnick noticed. Why can't my big sister notice? Did I do something wrong? Is Peeta more important than me? She's changed so much. So have I, but I still make time for her. She just doesn't make time for me. I've noticed it for awhile. I think I was in denial. She doesn't even notice that I'm writing in a journal, when paper is so scarce, when I do it right in front of her!
I wish you could write back to me. I need some advice. But, would you know what to do? Even if you did, would you help me?
Primrose Everdeen
