Hey guys! I'm so sorry it took me a while to update. It is summer here and sometimes I have more than enough time to write, and others I have no time. Sorry guys :( Well, I did get a blog set up so I'll post a link here and on my profile page if you want to check it out. I only have Annie in it so far, but I will get the others in as the story progresses. gracelandfanfiction. blogspot There it is! I added some spaces but you will have to delete them to put into your browser. Also, I have started a new story I am cowriting with Mikey Jacquez called Candles which is a Hunger Games and Harry Potter crossover! Check it out if you have a chance :) Well, onto reviews!

TARDISRose: I'm glad you like it! Peeta fell off the cliff. It will be elaborated in this chapter :) I'm glad you like it!

MewWinx96: Glad to hear it! I'm listening to the Les Miserables music while I am responding to reviews actually. They so deserve to die... Glad you are glad! They have been the most anticipated couple. We'll see what happened to Peeta this chapter...

MiaBelles: Did you hear that scream? The girly one? That was Snow responding to the rock! You got an excellent hit!

YOLO-IS-MY-LIFE11: I'm glad you like it! It is a lot of fun to write. We will see Peeta's fate this chapter.

TheWomanWhoCodesAndWrites: I made Annie Eponine because I wanted to use the musical as a ploy to help get Katniss and Peeta together and thought making them Marius and Cosette would be a cute way to do that, and I feel like Katniss could hit Cosette's notes easier. I'm glad you like it! The band at my school actually did Les Miserables last year (I only know this though because one of my best friends and my sister are in band)

pumpkinking5: I'm glad you liked the date! I think ocean dates are the most perfect dates ever and thought Finnick and Annie would love one. Glad you liked it :)

Addicted2-Your-Story: I planned it to be back and forth for her feelings originally, but I had this idea last minute and thought to go with it. I'm glad you liked it!

MeaganOneDirection: I'm glad you like the blog idea! I'm glad you love the story too! That makes me happy :D

Catching Fireflies: Snow is such a jerk! I'm glad you liked the kissing scene. Well, you'll see this chapter :)

pumpkinking5: I hope I did their relationship justice. I'm glad you liked how I did that! It was fun to write. I go into more detail this chapter of what happened, so no worries. I hope they can keep it too :)

Sarah: Miracles happen in battles ;)

Anarchy Girl: Why would I kill Peeta :O I love him too much, no worries ;)

ThaliaFairbain: I'm glad you like it, and was it just practice...?

Alexandra Jackson rocks Hades: Thanks for the backup! I had a dream I got payback on him last night actually... maybe y'all can help :) I'm glad y'all like it and I'm glad for the support.

HungerGamesAddict3: Well, we will find out this chapter. I'm glad you like it :)

Chapter 15- Accidents Happen

Johanna

Katniss called me on her phone, asking me to bring everyone to the cliffs. I quickly do as she is told because she sounded like she was about to cry. I gather the four of us up and we rush over to the cliffs only to see Peeta with a pool of blood by his head, and Katniss freaking out beside him. "Oh my gosh!" Soon, we are all freaking out. Annie has enough sense to pull out her phone and call the hospital.

Soon we are rushing over to where the ambulance can see us, Finnick and Gale carrying a bleeding Peeta. Katniss, Annie and I are all waving our arms around trying to get their attention. When they do find us they ask if one of us should ride with him. I look over at Katniss. "You go. You were here when it happened."

Katniss nods and a blush spreads across her face, like that isn't the only thing that happened. Never mind that. The rest of us return to Graceland with anxious looks. We have to be the ones to tell Effie and Haymitch. They're sitting on the bottom floor, Haymitch watching football on the television and Effie is rocking Hunter. "Hey guys." Haymitch calls to us. "Where are the bread boy and little miss scowl?"

The four of us give uneasy looks and I finally manage to say what happened, after uncomfortable silence. "Katniss and Peeta went on a picnic by the cliffs and apparently they decided to scale them. Peeta's fake leg slipped and he fell. He is on his way to the hospital and Katniss is riding with him."

Effie stands up out of her chair and grabs the keys, Haymitch following behind. "You guys are in charge. Thanks for telling us. We'll call you as soon as we know what is happening."

The four of us nod and go upstairs, not sure what to do. We just sit in silence until Annie finally pulls out her script and starts rehearsing her lines. Annie is singing On My Own when I come to a realization. I start to laugh, snorting. "What's so funny? Do I really sound so bad?"

I have to take several deep breaths before I can finally get a grip long enough to respond. "Guess who your mom and dad are?"

Annie was sitting crisscross on Finnick's lap on the couch. She looks at me then at her boyfriend, then back at me before she starts laughing as well. "My boyfriend is my dad and one of my dearest friends is my mom. Joy."

I am leaning against my boyfriend, who is picking up his script as well. He smiles and looks at Finnick and me. "I would enjoy seeing you two an impromptu version of Master of the House."

Annie nods and gets out of her boyfriends lap, sitting on the seat next to him on the couch. Finnick smiles and pulls out his phone, letting a karaoke version of the song play. "My band of soaks, my den of dissolute's. My dirty jokes, my always pissed as newts," He is gesturing to Gale and me for this first part and Annie finds it hilarious while Gale is wearing a fake offended face. A couple times he offers a hand to Annie, letting her dance in a beautiful ballroom sort of way. Apparently the two were forced to go to Cotillion, as well as Peeta, when they were younger because Effie thought it was vital for young children to learn manners. It paid off in their ballroom skill.

After a while my part finally comes up and I stand up and take Annie's place and lead him in an awful two step. "I used to dream that I would meet a prince
But God Almighty, have you seen what's happened since?" I let go of Finn's hand and start to improvise around him, taking great pleasure when I get to call his junk small and letting himself and Annie let out a blush, though I know she hasn't seen it.

By the end of the song, the four of us are collapsed laughing on the couch. Gale is holding me in his strong arms and starts kissing me, letting little kisses start at my lips and trail down my jaw line and onto my neck. We don't stop until we hear the ringing of Finnick's cell phone. "Hello?" We all listen in very closely, trying to figure out who it is and what they want. "Is that good news? Great. Yeah, well, we'll be prepared. We won't let any of this effect our results in court! It was completely unrelated to Graceland. He is alright though? Good. Hey- hey don't freak out. It wasn't your fault, Kat. Just, take it easy. Alright. We will see the two of you back here soon."

I pretty much sum the conversation up mentally. Katniss called Finnick to tell us that Peeta will be alright, not to freak out about this in court, not to let Effie or Haymitch take the blame because it was her fault, her blaming herself and Finnick calming her down and now they are on their way back. "Peeta is going to be okay, right?" Annie says with a small voice.

Finnick comes and lets Annie lay her head down on his lap. "He got some staples and will be just fine." Annie nods, closes her eyes and Finnick grabs a blanket to put over her shoulders while she pretends to nap. The girl cannot nap to save her life.

Gale grabs my hand as Finnick turns on the television with the remote and he leads me down the hall to his room, where we both sit on his bed, facing opposite of Peeta's. "Johanna, I know I'm new here, but I know this place cannot shut down. I can see how all of you act around one another and it is perfect for you all and I want Rory, Vick and Posy to grow up the same way you all did."

I pull him in for a hug, letting myself rest on his shoulders. "I can only hope this isn't the end for Graceland."

Gale

I pull away from Johanna, worry spread across my face. "They really cannot hold this against Graceland, right? I mean accidents happen after all."

Johanna shrugs. "I guess they do. I know me being here isn't an accident though."

"I am. I mean- an accident caused me being here."

Jo looks up at me with curious eyes and lays her head down on my lap, looking up at me. "What's your story, handsome?" I take a deep breath. I knew this was coming sooner or later.

"Hurry up Rory! We don't want to be late! Dad is picking us up today because mom is having the baby!" I stop and look at him. "Where's Vick? You were supposed to get him."

The ten year old gives a dramatic sigh and trudges to the hallway where the second graders are kept. The fourth grader looks tired and defeated, but happy and excited at the same time. I wait in the hall by the office for five more minutes before Rory comes back with Vick in tow. "Are we getting our new brother today, Gale?"

I roll my eyes. "You forget we might be getting a sister." I ruffle my little brother's head and let him give me a little scowl.

"Were you supposed to be a girl, Gale? Is that why you have a girl's name?" I roll my eyes and Vick sticks his tongue out.

We walk out of the building to where our dad is waiting and we all climb into his truck. "How was school, boys?"

I shrug, as does Rory but Vick goes off on this wild story about how at recess they played a huge game of tackle football without the teachers knowing and how he tackled the biggest second grader in school and get his own team a touchdown. I smile at my little brother, knowing this would mean a lot to him.

We reach the hospital and dad lets us all get out of the truck. "I'm going to go park. Tell your mother I'm on my way."

We nod and walk in the building. Rory and Vick both have their backpacks and I realize it would be a good idea to grab mine so I could do my homework. "Wait here. I'm going to go grab my backpack."

They nod and pull out some math problems they have to work on. I'll be sure to help them when I get back. I walk back outside and dad is just pulling off. He doesn't see the obviously drunk man in the hospital parking lot, driving a truck slightly bigger than his own. "Dad!" It's too late. The truck has hit my father. "Dad! Dad no!" I run to the wreckage spot and see my dad dead, covered in blood. "No! No no no!"

Medical staff is coming outside to see everything. A male nurse is picking me up and pulling me away. "No! That's my dad! That is my dad! Let me go! Let me go!" I'm crying but I don't care. The tears are falling like a river because my dad is dead. He didn't even get to welcome his new son or daughter into the world.

My brothers and I are ushered into the hall outside where our mother is. The doctors decided not to tell her what happened until after she gave birth. I honestly could argue with that. A nurse comes out hours after our father's death. Hours after my brothers and I ran out of tears to cry. We know not to say anything about dad to our mother. "Boys, would you like to meet your new baby sister?"

Sister. Mom said she wanted another boy, but dad wanted a girl. He said if he had a girl, he would name her Posy.

A year later I am watching Posy and find mom passed out on the couch, a needle in her arm and a dead cigarette on the floor. I pick up my baby sister and take her to my room, away from all the drugs and trash. Vick asks Rory and me what happened to mom. Why she is acting so different. I wish I could answer him, but I don't know myself. I hate all of this. Why can't mom go back to being our mom?

Seventeen, we are finally discovered by cops and my brothers, Posy and I are all forced to leave the place I long stopped calling home and the woman I long stopped calling mother. I'm ready to get out of this place, I'm just not sure if I can trust this new one.

"Of course, Jo, this place grew to be my home." I feel Johanna place a hand on my cheek.

"Hey, Gale?" I look at her and she is smiling. "Thanks for telling me. I- I know that must have been hard."

"Jo?" She looks at me with different, kinder eyes, but they are still eyes that belong to my girlfriend. "Have you ever seen someone die, right in front of you?"

She shakes her head and pulls me close. I let all my feelings about my dad get released as tears onto her. She is the strongest, bravest person I know and I am glad to have her.

We got Gale's story! Yay! It was short, sorry. I'm glad you all like it though :)
