Okay, Gypsy Stars, to answer your question, it takes place after Mockingjay. Also, I've heard of the movie but I never saw it so I had no clue about that and I wasn't thinking about the movie when I came up with the story xD. It was more like a 'Hmm, I think I will mess with Haymitch because he's my favorite' type. Haha, okay, anyways. Sorry for the very long note.

Haymitch's POV

My life is a living hell. Stupid Capitol, always messing it up. Well, I don't know if it was the Capitol or not since I can't remember but still. I'm also mad at Katniss. Right now I'm so upset with her, I almost forgot to put my hood up. I walk inside and quickly find a mirror, which the first mirror I can think of is the bathroom one.

I reach the bathroom, hoping this is just a nightmare but sadly it isn't. I look myself over and I look exactly like I did twenty-five years ago. Same eyes, same hair, same everything. I drop down to the floor and sit there, thinking about the past. All the tears, the blood, the killing, the deaths that have happened in my lifetime. This stupid age was the one I despised the most.

I sit there in silence, flying through each and every thought in my messed up brain. Just then I hear the bathroom door click open and Peeta and Katniss come in.

"What do you want?" I snap at Katniss a little to harsh. Katniss gets this wicked frown on her face and looks like she's about to speak but closes it quickly. Peeta looks to Katniss then eyes me.

"I'm sorry Haymitch." She holds on to the 'ch' part of my name and looks to the floor. I know she was forced to say sorry but I accept it.

"It's okay." I say but I feel something wet roll across my face. I swipe it with my arm sleeve and it's wet. No, I can't be crying, I don't cry around people, especially not these two!

"Haymitch, are you…crying?" He looks at me with worry filling his eyes.

"No…maybe. Yes." I say sobbing a little in between.

"What happened? Did the name Sabio finally get to you?" Peeta says obviously trying to cheer me up.

"No! It's the stupid age I turned into! I don't want to relieve this again and now every time I look in a mirror I'll get depressed." My voice cracks a little and now I regret it because Katniss laughs under her breath. "It's not funny." I growl at her. She shuts up but I can hear her giggle from time to time.

"Well then don't look in a mirror." Katniss says. For some reason this makes me laugh for the first time all day. Peeta helps me up from off the floor and we just stand in the bathroom awkwardly.

"So… how about we go somewhere else besides the bathroom." I say beginning to walk out. The two follow and we head out into my living room.

"Listen, again I'm sorry for earlier." Katniss repeats but I cut her off.

"Well at least you're actually trying this time." I say and a small smile blooms across her face.

We walk into the living room and I notice that it doesn't smell like liquor. Katniss and Peeta notice too because Peeta has a smile across his face and Katniss's eyebrows go up in pleasure.

"Smells nice doesn't it?" They seem startled and Peeta's face turns red.

"I-I'm sorry Haymitch I didn't mean to be rude or anything." He stammers.

"Eh, it's okay besides, it's not like you haven't scolded me for not cleaning my house before." I give a small smile thinking about waking up to Katniss giving a lecture about the liquor smell roaming the house. Peeta's face is now a pink but Katniss is just being Katniss. We talk for a while for about the fifth time today. There is a knock at the door and we look at each other. Who want's to visit a drunkard?

"I got it." I say quickly and pull my hood over my head. I walk over to the door and turn the knob.

"Hey Haymitc—." The man at the door begins. I stare dumbfounded at the man standing before me. He has the looks of a Seam boy, like Katniss and me. I recognize him and we stare at each other for a couple of seconds. Two names float around in my head.

He helped in the rebellion. Soldier Hawthorne A.K.A. Gale.

End. Man, I'm really not that good with long chapters. My sister says it's my first story but I still don't like it. Oh well, REVIEW! Had to type that after reading many stories saying that. Haha.
