C.P.O.V
I was a little ashamed to say I was sulking just a tiny bit. I was a few weeks away from being thrown into a place where I would most likely die some painful death and none of this would matter anyway but I still sulked. I was annoyed that mum and dad wouldn't trust me with the secret it made me edgy and anxious. I don't think I had room for anymore emotions in my head what with the oncoming slaughter and all; I was like mum that way.
SMASH!
I looked up dazed blinking a few times and bringing myself back to the present. An Avox had slipped and food flew everywhere bits of noodles landed in my hair and hot sauce splashed all over my lap it was burning me. I leaped out of my chair giving a yelp of surprise I hadn't noticed my parents rush in I was still to busy trying to brush off the burning liquid. My mother yanked me out of the way pulling me to the side.
"Caden are you alright"
"Mum its just food I'll be fine" I attempted to look annoyed but her touch sent a rush of memories through my mind. I pulled back I needed to distance myself from all this or it will become to painful. Already my throat was thick just because it was the first time mum had really spoken to me. Had shown that she still cared on some level, I know she does care but with all the stress that was going on her warm touch almost sent me over the edge.
How am I going to manage the games if I can't even handle this? It was just hot sauce for crying out loud. I stomped to my room trying to pull it off with dignity but I don't think I succeeded.
I walked to my room deciding to try and get some sleep but I ran into Haymitch on the way.
"Haymitch?"
"Peeta?"
"It's Caden"
"Oh" He rubbed his eyes "What time is it?"
"7:30 I think" I replied confused
"Dammit"
"What?"
"It's nothing"
I stood there awkwardly for I moment.
"Did I miss dinner?"
"No" I tried ending the conversation which in my opinion couldn't be more awkward Haymitch probably didn't notice though. I edged around him but he caught my arm.
"Have you been talking to Daisy boy?"
"Daisy um no" I said feeling a little guilty I, didn't even know anything about her. I probably shouldn't be feeling this guiltily since I might be forced to kill her soon but I couldn't help it. Haymitch nodded his face unreadable I could tell he was deep in thought.
He walked off abruptly leaving me in the middle of the hallway wet and sticky with noodles in my hair. I shook my head and entered my room. I will never understand Haymitch.
HAYMITCH POINT OF VIEW
Dammit I missed the meeting, again. Maybe I should start sobering up I usually tried to start doing that around this time of the year but with Peeta and Katniss around it was hard to find a reason to. I promised myself I would talk to them before I crashed again maybe after dinner?
I walked into the dining hall to find a whole lot of avox's cleaning up some mess that was obviously made before I got here. I sat down and looked pointedly at Katniss and Peeta who were whispering to each other and I could tell it wasn't the mushy stuff; they were talking about the games this year. I gritted my teeth how many times had I told them not to do that at dinner. Peeta caught my annoyed gaze and I threw a quick look at Daisy who was trying to edge her chair closer in effort to hear their conversation. She was a really bad actor; it was going to be difficult to coach her for the interview. Peeta caught on quickly and motioned for katniss to shut up, she looked pretty pale I don't think she is made for mentoring kids this is going to be an ordeal for her. Not that it isn't an ordeal for me but she will just start blaming herself all the time. I'll have to get Peeta to help her with the self esteem thing.
Dinner finished in a haze and I waited until Daisy left the room before I cornered them.
"What do you think you are doing?" I hissed, Katniss looked ill and Peeta put an arm protectively around her not that she needed his protection I rolled my eyes.
"Lay off haymitch" Peeta snapped I growled he didn't have a clue what he was doing did he not know that almost every single room here was bugged?
"Don't tell me what to do I've had years and years more experience mentoring than you have, do you even realise how close that girl came to over hearing you"
"You may have more experience dealing with the games Haymitch but do you have any Idea what it's like to be a parent I would rather go through the games a hundred times than see my only son walk to his death"
I was silent I had mentored thousands of kids and watched them all die but I had never had any real emotional attachment to one of them before. Peeta's comment aggravated me but I had no Idea why. I decided it was because he was right I didn't have any clue how it felt to go watch your child die.
"Meet me on the roof tonight" I said before stomping off not bothering to see if they agreed.
DONEE :)
HOPE YOU LIKED IT, R&R.
