A/N: So her mother has collapsed! What will happen?
Chapter 10
I run out of the forest, barely stopping to listen to the silent gate. My mother and I were never close. She abandoned Prim and me after my father's death. I was hardly her biggest fan. But she collapsed. If she dies, I'll never be able to forgive myself for being so terrible to her.
The paramedics were coming out of Prim's new home and I could see them rush my mother away. One thing that Prim changed about District 12 after she became Victor is that there is a 24-hour hospital. I run to the hospital and am stuck in the waiting room.
"How did you know what had happened?" I ask Rory.
"Prim and I were going back to her house. We wanted some alone time and we saw your mother laying on the floor. She had been drinking. We saw bottles all around her. We didn't know what to do, so we called the ambulance," Rory says.
We are interrupted by a nurse. "Miss Everdeen, will you follow me?" she asks.
I nod and go with her to the hospital room. She continues, "Your mother didn't make it. It has been revealed that she has been ordering morphling. We thought that it was for Primrose, but we found morphling in her blood samples. She was drinking and over-dosed. I'm sorry."
I crumbled to the ground. I was without a father and now a mother. I have only Prim and Peeta.
A/N: Short chapter! Sorry about my killing off her mother, but I really couldn't think of anything productive for her character to do. I was considering it to be Prim, but that wouldn't make sense because she's 13 and wouldn't be into drugs. I then considered Peeta, but I've been using him as a pin-cushion for so long. I also love Peeta and don't want to kill him off. Review, follow, and favorite!
