And here is chapter ten! A lot of you loved that the previous chapter was in Glimmer's POV. It's funny she was my least fav character( in the film I hated her even more-.-), also, but I guess there is more to her character than meets the eye:) You'll be happy to know that this chapter is in her POV:D I hope you like this one, and enjoy !:)


Glimmer POV:

'' And you weren't really ecstatic when he asked you out. No more games, Katniss. Who is it that you like?''

'' I...I...'' she stammers, trying to find the words.

''Forget it. When you figure it out, you know where to find me. Let's go.'' I say a bit harsh.

I don't want to be like this. I don't want to yell at her. I just don't want her to go to her previous state, state of sorrow and vulnerability, the state she was in when our parents died.

She didn't say anything, just followed me out the door. On my way to the door I saw Cato looking our way. Thankfully, Katniss didn't notice, and it will stay that way. She needs to sort her shit out.

It was already two o'clock in the morning when we arrived back to Katniss's house. I wasn't planning on sleeping over tonight, but right now I can't leave her. She doesn't even have to say it, I already know what she thinks and feels. Without uttering a word, she gave me her pj's and we got under the bed sheets, our backs turned to one another. On a normal day I would've laughed at the pj's she gave me. Shorts that barely cover my backside, and a Winnie the Pooh t-shirt. Today, I don't have that much energy in me. I closed my eyes, and hoped the morning comes fast, so we can start the day over. That's when she opened her mouth to speak for the first time since the party.

''Thank you'' she said, but it came out muffled.

I turn myself around to face her, but she still has her back turned to me.

''For wanting to be my friend. You have all these problems bottled inside of you, and still have the patience to listen to mine, even though they're not important.'' she says while soaking the whole pillow with her tears.

I smile and hug her from behind.

''Of course they are important. Your problem is my problem. Now, go to sleep.'' I whisper stroking her hair.

She closes her eyes and intertwines her fingers with mine. She falls asleep in my arms, but not before whispering that from tomorrow, she'll go back to the way she was. Strong.


After shifting from one side to the other, I gave up on the idea of getting some sleep tonight. I throw my covers away, and I get up from the bed, after checking the time. It's four in the morning. I carefully open the door, not wanting to wake up Katniss, and slowly tip toe my way downstairs. I don't even know what I'm looking for here, but it beats laying in my bed with my eyes wide open like an owl.

I could easily get lost in this house. I ended up walking in a strange corridor.

I jumped, startled when I heard sounds coming from a room nearby. I carefully go take a peak, so that the person doesn't notice my presence. Soon enough, I found out who the person was. Marvel.

The view was truly beautiful, no matter how much I tried to deny it. His back turned to me, sweat dripping down his body. Did I mention he didn't have a shirt? He was punching a sparring bag. The way his muscles tense with every punch, and his breathing quickens was quite a sight. I didn't even realize my face was burning up, and my knees are getting all jelly. After a while, he stopped punching the bag and picked up the bottle that lied on the floor, back still turned to me.

''I think you''ll have a much better view if you come in,'' he says and tilts his head to my direction.

Crap. For how long did he know I was watching him?

''Sorry, I couldn't sleep,'' I say in a low voice, walking next to him.

''You can go sit in the chair by the corner and watch. But I don't want to hear a word.'' he says with a stoic look.

There wasn't a smirk visible on his features. There was no cocky personality. No teasing, no snappy comments. And as I sat there and I watched him, I came to know a Marvel that was unknown to me. Maybe even for him. And as morning came, and we went our separate ways, like all this never happened, I came to a realization. I might fall for him.


Imagine how hard it was for Marvel not to throw a comment at her t-shirt ^_^ :D !
