Okay 4th chapter. Please review

Haymitch's POV

After all of that ruckus I invited Effie over. She looks extremely pissed, not that I care. I grabbed hold of the camera then replayed the chaos from earlier. Effie Trinket being attacked by a bunch of geese, now that's hilarious.

"Hey princess! Come and see this; it's comedy gold!" I angled the camera's screen towards her so she can see how foolish she looked. I'm going to show this to Peeta and Katniss as well; they can use a good laugh. Effie turned her head around so that she doesn't have to see the video. She's really upset, alright. Can't that woman take a joke?

"That's just mean Haymitch!"

"No it's funny! Just look at you..." I smirked at her then I moved the camera closer to her face. She scowled at me then she gripped the edge of the table so tight that her knuckles started to become white. Man, is she mad at me. But I do love to annoy the crap out of her. Oh well, too bad...for her

"That's it. Give me that!" exclaimed Effie as she reached out to grab the camera. Luckily, I got it away from her just in time. I stood up then I placed the camera above her head. She stretched both of her hands up and jumped but she still couldn't reach it. She can't really jump very high with those heels. She looked so funny- like a pink penguin that's doing tricks.

"Reach high sweetheart!" I mocked her, much to her annoyance.

"Haymitch Abernathy! You insensitive drunk!" She screamed. That kinda hurt. I'm not that insensitive. I was just fooling around, sheesh.

"Let's not go there Effie..." She looked absolutely flustered. She was red with rage and it looks like she wants to eat me up. I think I might have gone too far. I tried to calm her down but she continued to throw insults at me.

"You sir, are an unfeeling, good-for-nothing drunkard! You never cared about anyone or anything. No wonder you're all alone in the world! NOBODY LOVES YOU!" Her words hit me straight in the heart. Does she even know the pain that I went through? The Capitol's torture didn't end with the games. No, they killed off my loved ones. The old memories started to flood my brains. It's too painful, I don't want to be reminded, I want to forget- I don't want to suffer anymore. I don't want to FEEL THE AGONY! NO! I don't want to...

Effie's POV

"You know nothing Effie..." his tone was sad, distant and serious. I have never seen him so serious and upset before. I tried to say something, to apologize but he cut me off.

"You thought that after my games, everything will be good and well. I got to live in luxury but I wasted everything on alcohol. No, that's not the case Effie. My mother, my little brother and my girl- they were all killed because of the stunt I pulled back at the arena. That's why I'm alone! That's why I don't want to love or be loved! I don't want to get hurt again, okay?" He's crying now. I knew he suffered after his games but I would've never thought that his alcohol problem was because of that, I have always thought that he wanted to forget the games itself and our poor dead tributes.

"Haymitch I-" he cut me off once again.

"That's why I turned to alcohol. It makes me forget, even if it's just for a little while. You suffered too Effie! You know how much it hurts right? We're both broken... and I thought you would understand!" I know, it does hurt... This is all my fault, I have taken it too far. I stabbed him in the place where it hurts the most. I'm such a horrible person...

"I'm sorry... I didn't know..."

"Well, you do now!" He placed the camera on top of the table, he then sat on the couch. He buried his face in his hands and wept silently. I sat down next to him and patted him on the shoulder. I want to comfort him, the way that he comforted me back at the prison.

Oh my goodness! I have forgotten all about that. He was my sanctuary at that time. He let me cry on his shoulder, he cared for me and this is how I show I show my thanks. I must make it up to him somehow...

"I'm really sorry Haymitch. I'll do anything to make you feel better. I swear." He shrugged my hand off him then he turned to face me.

"What can you do? You can't bring them back... Just leave me alone, okay Effie?" He said before walking back into his room.

He just needs time- I said to myself.

I looked around his house and it was dirtier than I thought. Maybe a clean atmosphere will help him heal. You know what they say, tidiness is next to godliness. Maybe a nice hot meal will do him good as well...

Haymitch's POV

I woke up to this epic hangover. My head really hurts. I walked out of my room and saw that the whole place has been cleaned out. The entire place was spotless, it's just like new. I then noticed a nice hot meal laid out on my dining room table. It consists of a nice thick soup, a plate of pasta and garlic bread and a slice of cheesecake. I happily ate the meal, then I noticed a piece of paper.

It turned out to be a note written on a girly scented pink-colored paper. Ugh, this thing is taking out the manliness of my house. This must be from Effie then. Now I remember, I had a fight with her earlier today. I looked down the note and I tried to make out the words from her intricate script handwriting.

Dear Haymitch,

I am truly sorry for the things that I have said and the way that I acted earlier. It was uncalled for. I should have been more sensitive to your feelings; I was being self-centered. I didn't know that I could bring back such memories and hurt you.

To try and make up for it I cleaned your house and prepared you a meal. I hope that you will enjoy it. I know this isn't enough for the damage that I have caused to you but I do hope that we will be in good terms again. If you need anything, I'm here for you.

You were right, we are both broken but I do believe that anything that's broken can be fixed. We'll be whole again when the time comes... Don't give up okay?

-Effie

I felt something after reading Effie's letter. It felt weird but it felt nice too so it's not really that bad. She's right, I can still be fixed... but I'm not fixed yet. I think I need to have a drink

Haymitch is hard to POV -_- I think he's a little out of character in this chapter. Anyways, I will try to improve. Your reviews are much appreciated ^_^
