A/N: Here you go, Chapter Three of Hate/Love Relationship! The questions I asked in the last Chapter will be answered. Thank you to everyone that's reviewed, it really warms my heart when people review! Anyway, without further ado, Chapter Three!
Chapter 3:
"Great job sweetheart," Haymitch said when we left the stage. "Brutus is moving your stuff up to your new place while I already had a couple avox girls bring your stuff up. You're on the thirteenth floor, the button says CK."
"Yay," she said, the sarcasm evident in her voice. "Let's just go."
We got to the elevator and she pushed the button. The ride up seemed really slow, but we got there eventually. The doors opened, we stepped out and froze. The walls were white and immediately on our left was a beautiful kitchen that looked like it came from District Two! Tan wood floor, white cabinets, a white kitchen island, silver appliances, a tan wood sill above the sink, white with gray speckled granite counter tops, and two silver bar stools with brown seats, just like I remembered my kitchen at home, minus one bar stool. The living room, straight ahead had a big screen TV above a fireplace, white rounded couches with yellow pillows and a brown velvet like leather foot rest, three windows right next to each other over looking the city, and slight brownish white shears that let light shine in the room.
"This place is incredible," she gasped. "Even better then the Justice Building in District Twelve! I've never seen anything so beautiful, floor twelve included!"
"The kitchen here is like the one back at home for me, but the living room is beautiful," I smiled. "I can't believe I get to live here. Sure, I have to share it with you and pretend that I'm in love with you to save our families, but still!"
"I'm going to go see if the TV has a channel to watch District Twelve from," she said walking over and sitting on the couch.
I walked to the bedroom and froze momentarily. The room was white, with a tan like white and white metallic stripped wall behind the bed, a beautiful window TV that we could change to look out at different places, white carpet, light tan bed frame, silver night stands, a beautiful wood dresser and elegant bedding. I looked at the open door to the bathroom and walked inside. The walls were tiled with white and light brown tiles, a white shower with a light brown curtain that was exactly the same as the one from floor two, a white toilet, a white sink, and a silver towel rack across from the shower. Everything on the floor went together and looked beautiful.
"In Two, I saw them celebrating that you won and in Twelve, I saw Prim getting the first of my winnings," She said walking into the bathroom.
I nodded and walked out of the bathroom, not wanting to talk to her. My mother was in District two with my little sister, Melody, only celebrating because her son didn't die, while Clove's family is probably home trying not to cry because they lost their only daughter.
"My brother is lucky to be alive! I saw his wounds and I'm so glad he's a victor with Katniss! They look so cute together and I can't believe they get to live happily every after together," I heard when I walked out in the living room. "I love my brother."
"I love you too," I said getting watery eyed. "I won't let them hurt you. Katniss and I will be in love if it's the last thing we every do! They won't hurt you, I promise."
"You have a sister," She said walking out.
"Why do you care," I snapped. "Sorry, I just- I'm very protective of her."
"I understand," she said taking my hand and leading me to sit on the couch. "Look, I know we don't really like each other, but when we're in public we have to act like the world would end if we're more than three feet apart. We have to really be "in love" when it comes to ANYONE around us, Haymitch and Brutus included. If we can get them to believe us, we might be able to calm the districts and save our families."
"You're right," I said looking down at my lap. "I just don't want anything happening to Melody, she's all I have left of Clove."
"What," she said looking at me confused. "What do you mean?"
"Melody is Clove's sister too," I said looking down. "When my father was killed in the same avalanche as Clove's mother, our parents got together and my mother got pregnant. No one else besides me knows that Melody is only my half sister, not even Clove or her father knew! You know how she died, well he got killed when he tried to stop her from volunteering."
"Wow," she said shocked. "I'm going to write to my sister. She deserves to know that I love and am thinking about her. Also, she should know about 'the love of my life.'"
"Hey, why did you get watery eyed during the interview earlier," I asked.
"I thought of Peeta," She said getting watery eyed again. "I really loved him. I mean I guess I'll grow to love you because we're going to be together now, but I wish you were him. I miss him."
"Go write your letter, I'm going to go shower," I said walking away.
I turned the shower on as hot as it would go and just let the water run over my body. She loved Peeta like I loved Clove. I had to act like I love her and she has to act like she loves me. She's not too bad at acting like she loves me, but I think we both need more work on "loving" each other with anyone around. Hopefully, one day, we can both be with someone we actually love and want to spend the rest of our lives with.
A/N: I hope you all liked this chapter! I need at least five reviews for the next chapter so review, review, review! As soon as I get five reviews, I'll post the next chapter! Anyway, here are the questions for this chapter:
