A/N-Heyo! Thanks for all of the reviews! REVIEW AGAIN, PLEASE!

Disclaimer-I don't own the Hunger Games

I watch the Reapings on the television with little attention. I don't need to see their competition. What's the point? The Careers will be huge and lethal. The rest will be average.

I zone out during the beginning, and even fall asleep around District 6. I'm abruptly awakened, though, by a loud knocking on the door. Who the heck could that be? Doesn't that person know that knocking could wake my mother up? She doesn't get her shipment of morphling until tomorrow.

My feet lazily carry me to the door. I fix my hair over my shoulder and open the door to see a person I was not expecting. I try to hide the shock on my face when I see her.

"Hi, what's wrong," I ask with genuine concern. Before me stands a sobbing Prim.

"I miss her, Madge."

"Oh, sweetie" I say as I pull her into a hug.

"Katniss shouldn't have volunteered. I should've been the one to go."

"No," I say as I squeeze her a little tighter. She's tiny, but she has so much on her small shoulders.

"Katniss will be back soon," she says as she begins to cry harder. "She has to."

I never thought about Prim, honestly. Katniss is so much more to Prim than a sister. They have a very special bond I can't even really describe.

Peeta coming back would mean Katniss would have to die. Gale would have to supply not only for his family, but for Katniss' family, too. Prim would lose her sister. Katniss was much more to Prim, though. If Katniss doesn't come back, Prim will lose her sister and her mother. I doubt Katniss' mother will be okay if Katniss dies.

If Katniss wins, though, Peeta will have to die. I don't like that option, either. My life will never be the same without him. His father will be absolutely devastated. His brothers will be crushed. His mother, on the other hand, will be…sad? Ashamed? I don't know, but I don't want to lose him, either.

Prim interrupts my thoughts by crying louder. "It's okay," I coo as I stroke her hair. "Katniss is going to win. You know how strong she is."

I get a small smile from the petite blonde. "You really think so?"

"Yes." I don't know if I'm telling the truth, but I'll say anything to bring Prim some comfort. "Are you hungry?" Prim nods into my shoulder. "Would you like something to eat?"

"Yes, please," she says in a shaky voice.

"What would you like?"

"I don't care."

"How does turkey sound? I have some leftovers from yesterday."

"That sounds good." I remove myself from her embrace to go make us some food. She follows me to the kitchen. "I miss her so much already."

"I miss her, too."

I put some turkey in the microwave and set the timer for the correct amount of time. "Does anyone know you're here?"

"No."

"I'll take you back after you eat, okay?" The microwave beeps and I open the microwave door to take the turkey out.

"Okay."

I put some turkey on a plate for me, and put some on a plate for her. She takes a seat at the table. I put her plate in front of her while I take a seat next to her. "Thank you."

"No worries." She eats greedily. I wonder if I should send some food home with her. It would ease Gale's load. It would be good for Prim. I can spare some food.

"Would you like to take some food home?"

"I can't afford anything."

"Free of charge."

"I really ca-," Prim is interrupted by someone knocking angrily on the door. I wonder who that could be.

"I'll get it," I announce. I scamper to the door and open it hastily. I don't want my mother to wake up.

"Hi," I greet Gale.

"Have you seen Prim," he asks hurriedly.

"Nice to see you, too," I say sarcastically.

"Have you seen Prim," he repeats, trying to control his temper.

"Yeah, she's here."

Prim stands behind me, slightly hidden by my body. "Hi, Gale."

"Prim, what the hell? You can't just disappear like that! We were looking everywhere for you! Everyone is worried sick!"

"I'm sorry," Prim apologizes.

"Damn, Prim-,"

"She's sorry, alright," I interrupt him. Gale raises his eyebrows at me. Prim holds my hand.

"It's okay, Madge," Prim whispers to me. "Thanks for the food and for having me."

"No problem. I enjoyed the company." Prim smiles as she lets go of my hand and moseys over to Gale. They walk together back to the Seam. Prim waves goodbye, and I wave back.

Poor Prim. It really breaks my heart to see her like that. How can her mother not notice her leaving? I mean didn't she see Prim was such a mess?

How can Gale yell at Prim? She just came to my house. That's it. She should've told him. She should've told someone, but it's not a big deal. Prim can't get too far. Not unless she went in the woods…

Prim would never go into the woods alone. Gale knows that. Was he just upset that she ran to me for comfort and not someone else? Oh, no, Prim. Don't go near the mayor's daughter. I roll my eyes. Gale needs to get over that. I clean up the dishes and put them in the sink. I should let the butlers and the maids do it, but I just need something to keep me busy.

Does Katniss know how much Prim needs her? I hope she does. I really hope she does. She has to know how much she's needed at home.

Peeta has to know, too. He has to realize how much he means to me. If he dies, a part of me will die with him. I'll never be the same person without him, and that's a fact.

A/N-Hi! Technically I did not update the next day. Sorry! It's a little before one, and I'm trying my best to get this posted. THANKS FOR ALL OF THE REVIEWS! REVIEW AGAIN, PLEASE! I probably won't be able to update as often because I'm going back to school soon. I'm going to try my best, though. Six more reviews, and I'll update tomorrow!
