Chapter 4

The whole tour sucks; everywhere we go we're hated by everyone. District 8 was bad; they cheered for Katniss and glared at me. Most of the districts hated Cato, but then again Cato had the most kills. District 4 which is a Career district still didn't really like us. We killed both of their tributes in the bloodbath. District 3 loved Katniss hated us, because Cato killed bomb boy. Finally we pulled into the port at District 1. I've been waiting for this; this is where Marvel and Glimmer lived. They were my friends and I could finally see the place Marvel always talked about.

There was a crowd cheering as we got off of the train. Cato and I led the way this time. I was wearing a gold dress that looked a lot like the one Glimmer wore in her interview. Even though she wasn't the smartest, she still kept me alive in the arena. We had arrived early, so we weren't being rushed.

"Cato, Star there are some people that would like to talk to you. Is it ok to bring them back?" Effie asked.

"Yeah it's fine," I answered for the both of us.

A few minutes later a few different people walked in. The first was a couple both with blonde hair. The woman had bright blue eyes, while the man had pale green eyes; I knew they had to be Glimmer's parents. Beside them was a woman with long brown hair and soft hazel eyes. I knew that she was Marvel's mom. Cato and I both stood as they walked up to us.

"It's nice to finally meet you two," Glimmer's dad said shaking hands with Cato.

Cato talked to Glimmer's parents, while Marvel's mom motioned to speak with me in private. I nodded and walked to the next room. She smiled at me before hugging me; I smiled and hugged her back.

"It's nice to finally meet you Star, I know my son had strong feelings for you," she said.

"He was best friend in the arena. I just wish that I was there to try and save him," I said looking down.

"Sweetie, it's nothing that you could have changed. But because of you I saw my son truly himself. After his father died, he was more distant and trained for the games. When he met you though, I saw the carefree boy I had raised. I knew he loved you and I wanted to thank you," she said a tear trailing down her cheek.

I hugged her feeling tears roll down my cheeks. After a while we pulled away smiling at each other.

"I wanted you to have this. It was Marvel's, but he didn't want to take it with him. I know that he would have wanted you to have it," she said putting a silver chain in my hand.

I opened my hand and looked at the necklace. It was a guy's silver chain necklace. There was an M charm on it with what looked like a class ring. I looked at it more closely; it was a huge silver ring that had a huge emerald in the middle. Marvel was written one side and District 1 on the other side.

"I'll wear this with pride," I said putting it on.

She smiled at me and we walked back to the others. I talked with Glimmer's parents, while Cato talked to Marvel's mom. Soon they were told they had to leave. They said their goodbyes and walked out.

"What's that?" Cato asked his fingers running over the necklace.

"It was Marvel's, his mom said she knew he would want me to have it," I said running my fingers over it.

"That was nice," he smiled.

We were soon having microphones clipped to us again. Katniss and Peeta walked towards us as the anthem started playing. We walked out to the people of District 1. They all cheered, when Cato and I walked out. Peeta and Katniss gave their speeches first. I had told Keans that Cato and I needed to do our speeches last here. Katniss really didn't have much to say, since she had killed both Marvel and Glimmer.

"District 1 looks the way that Marvel always described. We were in the Career pack together as it is every year, but I felt like we had more of a connection than in the past. Marvel was my best friend along with Glimmer. I trusted them and it takes a lot for me to trust someone. Marvel helped my princess in a time I couldn't and I was so thankful to him for that. I will never forget them for as long as I live or this beautiful place, that I can now see what they described to me," Cato said as everyone cheered I smiled at him.

"I know that this is a little strange for me to speak before I sing, but I feel like it has to be done. Like Cato said Marvel and Glimmer were my friends. As you all saw Marvel and I goofed around, when we had our down time. He meant a lot to me and helped me when I couldn't even sit up. I just wish that there was something I could have done to save him. Glimmer and I talked a lot, even though it wasn't seen; she was a smart girl and always knew what to say. And now I'd like to sing this song for them," I said

'It was two weeks after the day she turned 18
all dressed in white, going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat,
six pence in her shoe
something borrowed something blue
and when the church doors opened up wide she put her veil down trying to hide the tears, oh
she just couldn't believe it
she heard the trumpets from the military band and the flowers fell out of her hands

Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I cant even breathe
It's like I'm, looking from a distance, standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now,
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

The preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray
lord please lift his soul and heal this hurt
then the congregation all stood up and sang the saddest song that she ever heard
then they handed her a folded up flag and
she held on to all she had left of him oh and what could've been
and then guns rang one last shot and it felt like a bullet in her heart

Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm, looking from a distance, standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now,
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

Oh, Oh Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
Ohh i'll never know
It's like I'm, looking from a distance, standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now,
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

Oh this is just a dream
just a dream,'

Towards the end of the song the tears came rolling down my eyes. I know I said it was for both of them, but in my heart I knew it was mostly for Marvel. I could hear my voice started to crack, when I was finishing my last note. When my song was over I went over and put my face in Cato's chest. I started balling my eyes out like a baby as the crowd cheered. The mayor of District 1 gave one last speech, before we could go back. Keans pulled me away from Cato, so he could redo my makeup. The only problem I was still crying.

That night when we were in bed on the train to the Capitol, I was still awake. Cato had his arm around me and was fast asleep. I was thinking everything through; I think I felt more for Marvel than I even knew. I thought of him as my best friend or brother, but I think he was more than that to me.

In the middle of my thoughts Katniss could be heard screaming in her sleep again. I heard Cato groan, so I knew he was awake.

"She's so annoying, even when she's a sleep," he said making me laugh.

"I know, she's causing everyone to not get a good night's sleep," I laughed.

"I think we could do something to get our minds off of it," he said kissing my neck.

"No sucking on my neck mister. I don't need a hickey right before my wedding," I said he smirked.

"All of Panem has already seen you with a hickey before, why not now?"

"I came out of a tent then, now this is my wedding there's a huge difference."

"Fine."
