Disclaimer: I do not own The Hunger Games and the characters. Nor do I own Lana Rey's music. Only the plot line and some characters are mine. :) enjoy!
I was in the winter of my life, and the men I met along the road were my only summer.
At night I fell asleep with visions of myself, dancing and laughing and crying with them.
Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour, and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me, and my only real happy times. -Lana Del Rey
"It's not what it looks like Clove! I don't even know her!" Clove took both of the ice cream cones and smashed each cone onto Cato and the stranger's heads.
"My hair!" The girl screamed and stormed off to the bathroom. Clove ran out the door and bolted into the beach house. Cato was not very close behind her and he began to hyperventilate. Clove ran into Peeta's room and stood at the doorway breathing violently with smeared mascara. Peeta stood up and wrapped his arm around shoulders. He led her to the bed to sit down.
"Hey princess,you wanna tell me what's wrong?"
Clove sighed, "It's a long story."
"Just tell me long story short," Peeta replied smiling.
"Okay. Long story short, I went on a jog with Cato and afterwards, he took me out for ice cream. I went to the restroom and when I left, I saw Cato sitting at our table with a random chick. To make matters worse, she was eating my ice cream."
Peeta held her tighter, "You should have seen it coming Clove. Cato's the type of person you want to avoid. You could get hurt."
"Yeah, I don't care about Cato,"she lied, "I just want my ice cream."They both laughed and sat in comfortable silence.
"So..." Clove trailed off, "Did you hear about Katniss and her new sweetheart?"
Peeta shifted around uncomfortably and replied after a few long minutes, "Yeah, but I'm okay as long as she's happy I guess."
"Peeta," Clove sighed. "You've been in love with her for how long now? You shouldn't let her get away."
"I guess she's just the one that got away."
"Quaid you get back here!" Jackie screeched from the ocean.
"Hey Jackie, you look a little wet over there," he laughed. Jackie screamed in frustration and ran after Marvel. Marvel quickly hopped over the sand castle he and Jackie had built earlier and ran into the beach cabin that Finnick's family owned. He hid behind the kitchen counter holding a hose that came from the sink faucet while Jackie stomped through the sand castle. She weaved through the empty beach and slammed the cabin door open.
"Do you want to die Marvel?" she shouted, not knowing where Marvels hiding spot was. "Come out right now Quaid, look me in the eye, and apologize!" she screamed on the verge of angry tears. She suddenly slumped down on the ground in between the coffee table and the couch. She threw her arms on top of the couch, folded them, and began to sob.
Madge, Johanna, Rue, and Prim who weren't too far from the messed up couple ran into the cabin after hearing Jackie screaming and a loud crash, which was Marvel scrambling out of the kitchen to see why Jackie was so quiet accidentally breaking a glass plate resting on the counter. The four girls opened the door to find Jackie sobbing on the ground while Marvel was awkwardly sitting behind her rubbing her back and apologizing.
"Marvel Jack Quaid! What have you done?" hollered an exasperated Madge.
"I don't know, we were just going around pranking each other and I guess I really made her angry or something and she just started sobbing." Marvel stood up and ran his hand through his hair.
"She's been through a tough few weeks. So she's pretty unhinged. She can break down anytime and she can get pretty emotional." Johanna said blankly.
Jack replied with a silent, "Oh, why?" The room stayed quiet. "W-why is she like this."
"She'll tell you when she's ready." said Madge.
They all watched as Jackie walked out of the room back onto the beach. She grabbed her belongings and walked back to the house.
"I don't need the key, the shed unlocks from the inside." Annie mocked Finnick's low voice.
"Well it does" whined Finnick, who when unlocking the shed, dropped the key in the sand and was too lazy to pick it up.
Annie started to worry. "It's getting dark and we won't be able to see anything and I'm stuck here with you."
"That's a good thing right? Being able to stay in a locked shed with the Panem sex god?" Finnick wiggled his eyebrows suggestively as Annie rolled her eyes. She began to yell for help and started banging on the shed walls. "Just admit it, you totally find me attractive."
Annie's face turned beet red, and although is was pitch black in the shed, she turned away and began to yell again. "It's too dark in here," she said. "What If I get raped and I can't see if there is any surfboards in reach to smack you with." It was Finnick's turn to roll his eyes as he reached toward his left side to pull onto a a chain which turned on a light inside a glass orb above them.
"Oh," exclaimed Annie. "Couldn't you have done that earlier?" she snapped.
"Whoa, so you're a feisty one. I like ladies with fire." Finnick flirted.
"If we get out alive, I'm so going to kill you." Annie said blushing. "I'm going to walk into your room,
Finnick was surprised and scared so he started to call out for help. Since the shed is connected to the beach cabin, Johanna and Madge were able to let them out.
"Thank the lord!" Annie bellowed and raised her arms up. She dropped them down as she received a dirty look from Finnick.
It was a blue velvet night, and Katniss and Gale were busy snogging in the living room of the beach house. Katniss couldn't place exactly why she never felt a spark between Gale and herself like all the movies showed when your soul mate kissed you. This relationship didn't make Katniss feel as if she was at the top of the world. When she was with Peeta, she felt like her happiness meter was at its peak. 'Maybe I'm with the wrong guy. I mean, Gale's the best... But he's not very sentimental and a girl needs a guy that shows a lot of emotion towards her. Like Peeta' Katniss thought. 'I'll break it off with Gale as soon as I talk to Peeta about starting a relationship and how he feels about it.'
Back in Peeta's room, he and Clove were debating whether Annie and Finnick make a better couple or if Jackie and Marvel made a better couple. They soon fell into silence until Peeta spoke up.
"Hey Clove, I just realized, Katniss might have been a really great girlfriend but there's another girl who's always been there for me." Peeta scooted closer to Clove even though they were already touching and pulled her closer toward him. "She's always got my back, and whenever I do something wrong, she still supports me and respects my choices," their faces were centimeters apart and before Clove could register what was going on, she and Peeta were sweetly kissing. Clove snaked her arms up his chest and wrapped them around his neck. Peeta held on to her waist and they broke apart for air. Peeta was about to run out of the room when he felt her lips smile against his. He smiled back. Peeta pulled Clove onto his lap and they began to kiss again. Clove combed Peeta's hair with her fingers and twirled it around.
"Clove! I'm sorry I-" Cato stood at the doorway looking bewildered, "Whoa dude whats going on here?"
