Katniss POV

The next class I had with Peeta, I stormed up to him and slapped him viscously on the face. He gasped, reaching to where I hit him with his hand. Everyone was staring, and Clove had her mouth open in shock. Thresh was grinning.

"What the fuck, Katniss?!" He yelled at me, frowning.

I nodded. "Exactly, what the fuck? Why the fuck did I find Finnick in his room looking like he'd been taken on by...I don't know, you and your friends? He had no fucking chance when the odds aren't in his favour! Who the fuck do you think you are? Saying shit about how you're gonna fuck me and that I gave you a blowjob. Like I'd do that, I'm not some whore you think you can make shit up about." I kicked him in his groin and he double over in pain. "You wanna hit him, then maybe you should hit me first. Cause either one is not going to get you fucking closer to getting anywhere near me, you prick. I wouldn't be with you even if you were the last guy on this planet. I'd rather die alone."

Peeta groaned. "You really think everything's about you, don't you? Miss, I'm from District 12 so I was so good that the school paid for me to attend here- you're just like the other girls." He got up from his knees. "Whiny, and self centred. You only care about yourself and think everything's about you. But you're wrong. You have no chance of getting spotted here, because nobody cares about you. Your parent's would be ashamed of raising a girl to turn out like you."

I took a step back, tears springing to my eyes. "Parent. My father is dead, you asshole." Peeta's face went blank, and he looked guilty. "And for your information both of my parent's would be very proud of me. Just because I'm not like the other 12's, doesn't mean that I'm worthless. That I couldn't belong elsewhere. But maybe moving here is a bad decision. Of course I didn't get the opportunities you had here, or luxuries like technology, assessable healthcare, my own bed, food served to me no questions and had to work to get a meal a day, but at least I wasn't raised to be a brat like you are." I spun around and stalked away, wiping my eyes with my arm. I went back to my room and cried. Fresh memories had been brought up. My father died a few years ago in a coal mine accident. Gale understood. His father was killed that same day, and our family had never been the same. I pulled out the few items I brought from District 12. One was an old family photo. I sniffed as the tears flowed down my cheeks. Something in my heart had never really healed when my dad left us. Mom was a mess, she barely left the house, and I had to become the breadwinner, searching for part time jobs and hunting outside the district boundaries. It wasn't unusual for us to miss a meal in a day. Once in a while I got lucky and managed to score a big kill, and we had a meal everyday. But it was difficult. Other districts wouldn't understand the idea of hunting for anything but sport. Gale was a big help. We met around the time after our father's passing, and after a few months we grew to get along, hunting together as a team.

My flashbacks were stopped when a hard knock on the door made me jump I opened the door, and Peeta's guilty face filled my mind again. I noticed a slight bruising on his cheek, and I growled.

"Go away."

"No, I came to-

"Get OUT!" I screamed and lifted my leg, kicking him full force in the chest, and he was sent flying, hitting the door on the other side of the corridor to someone else's room. He gasped, wide eyed. "You think you've had a tough life? Try living mine. I will not be worthless. I can't afford to, otherwise my family dies. They'll starve, because I can't afford to get food for them, to provide for them. But you didn't have to do that, did you? You had 3 meals a day. You get a new phone like I get meals. Once in a while." Slightly over-exaggerated, but winter's were the most difficult, when the edible plants died and there was little game. "Get out of my sight." I slammed the door behind me, and opened my window, climbing out and hopping out and jumping until I landed on the grassy field. I had my key and my phone. But my pride was gone. My dignity. Now they all know how much of a scavenger I was. I ran around the side of the building and headed into town. I didn't know where I was going but I was too fuelled by anger to stop moving. I stayed in busy areas, but as time went by, the town slowly became more empty, and it got colder and darker. I had been on my feet for hours, I had missed all my classes. I checked my phone. 5 phone calls. 9 texts.

Peeta. Glimmer. Finnick. Finnick. Glimmer.

I skipped through the texts. I ignored Peeta's texts, but the rest were wondering where I was. They were worried. I wonder if they'll know where I am. Glimmer's taken me here before, but not enough that I'd remember where I was. It rung, Finnick, I decided to pick up.

"Hey-"

"Katniss? Where the fuck are you? We've tried calling and texting and we searched everywhere! Glimmer's window was open, we thought someone kidnapped you or something!"

I sighed, shutting my eyes. I slid down the side of the wall I was leaning on, pulling my clothes tighter against me. "Um...I'm in town somewhere."

"She's in town." He must be with the others. "Why are you there alone? You don't know the area. We were about to call the police to search for you!"

I shook my head. "No, I'm okay. Just cold...and I don't know where I am. I had a rough day- I skipped class and came here."

He sighed. "We'll come get you. Is there any landmarks you can see?"

"There's a statue. A horse."

Finnick mumbled to who he was with. "She's north of town. Near the statue of the horse."

"Let's go." I heard Glimmer.

"Bring an extra coat." Finnick said, and then he talked to me again. "What happened?"

"What?" I frowned. I was getting drowsy, and I was shaking.

"Why did you have a rough day- and skipping your classes?"

"Er...Peeta said some things...about me and my family."

He growled. "The fucker, when I get my hands on him-"

"-No." I mumbled. I didn't say anything else.

"Babe?"

I hummed a reply.

"Glimmer walk quicker. We need to get a cab. She's losing conciousness." Finnick rushed, clearly worried. He said some other things but my mind drowned them out. I wanted to sleep.

"Babe?" Finnick made me jump awake.

"What?" I mumbled.

"Keep talking to me. Don't go to sleep. We're on our way. Don't go to sleep."

My eyes felt heavy. "I won't." I whispered. "I'm not worthless am I?"

"No, Kat, you're not at all. Peeta will get what he deserves..." He growled, then sighed. "Katniss, you are beautiful, and amazing, and strong. Don't listen to him. He doesn't deserve your time of day." I heard a skidding, and a car drove straight past me. It skid to a halt, and 3 people jumped out. I dropped my phone to the ground, and I heard a cussing.

"Fucking heck Katniss." I heard Finnick, and I was scooped up from the ground. The hood which was on my head fell off, and I shivered. "We have to get her to hospital."

"I want my bed." I mumbled.

"Glimmer, pick up her phone. It's on the ground."

Glimmer huffed. "When I see Peeta...I'll...I'll-"

"-I'll tear his fucking throat out, messing with my girlfriend. She could've died." I was slowly sinking into unconsciousness I could barely hear Finnick's panicked cries before I blacked out.

Ooh la la! Really hoping this chapter doesn't get lost like the 2 chapters or so ago, that would really suck cause I don't think I could replicate this baby xD
please tell me what you think of this chapter, and the story overall :D i've never been this dedicated to a fan fic but because I'm getting so many reviews it fuels me into writing more! xD
