Chapter 10

I know, I know, I know. I haven't updated in almost a week. SORRY! Anyway, I've watched Mockingjay Part 2 FOUR TIMES now. Has anyone else realised Katniss and Peeta were the only couple left? Think about it. Finnick died, Mr Everdeen died, Mr Hawthorne died, Katniss hates Gale, (if you ship Prory) Prim died and (Haysilee) Maysilee died. MOST DEPRESSING HUNGER GAMES FILM EVER!

STILL DONT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES. ONLY EVE, CORAL AND ZACH ECT.

Peeta POV

It had been 5 years since Eve died. We always tried to never talk about her as it would either upset us or send mom into a terrible mood. Our mom had turned rotten after Eve died; yelling at Matthew and saying he should've took the tesserae, beating Owen and me for the slightest thing, screaming at us, wishing we were girls, saying Matthew should have died in the Games instead.

I knew it was mean, but I always wished my mom would just get over herself. Eve's gone and she's never coming back.

"Boys," our father called. "You better get up before your mother comes to get you."

Owen and I spring out of bed, but Matthew being Matthew, wouldn't move. As soon as I got up, I looked outside my window.

"Damn Reaping Day," I muttered as Owen walked in. I could tell by his facial expression that he was thinking the same thing that I was. "I wish Eve would just come back. It would make life so much easier for us and maybe mom wouldn't be so freakin' horrid 24/7."

"Yeah," he responded. "She always made things difficult for us on purpose. Remember when she taught us how to paint. Eve drew some pictures for us and said we couldn't go over the lines, eventhough they were being cut out anyway."

We just sat there, talking about our sister that was way too young to die.

"C'mon," I said. "We'd better get ready before mom shouts so we can witness the riot."

"MATTHEW ANDREW MELLARK, GET OUTTA BED THIS F*CKIN' MOMENT OR I WILL SMACK YOUR FACE SO HARD, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO REGOGNISE YASELF!"

See what I mean? Eve made everything crap. Our mom used to be so nice. We then heard Matthew shout back.

"NO. I AM NOT GOING ALONG WITH YOUR STUPID THREATS THAT YOU MAKE JUST 'CUS YOU'RE A OLD HAG THAT CAN'T GET OVER YOUR DAUGHTER THAT DIED FIVE F*CKIN' YEARS AGO!"

Owen and I heard our mom come storming up the stairs, so as soon as she got up, we ran down. It's just better to stay on the opposite side of the house to her and shut up and do what she said. I burnt some bread to give to Katniss once... and let's say I still have the bruises.

My father, Owen and me winced when we heard a massive bang from upstairs. Matt had thrown a picture of Eve at the wall and mom had kicked a table in return. We ate our breakfast as quick as we could then Owen and I ran out to the square for Reaping Day. Owen joined the 17-year-olds and I joined the 16's. Suddenly, a voice came from behind me.

"Hey, Peeta. Areyounervous? 'CusI'mnotnervoushaI'mdefinitelynotnervousforReapingDaywhataboutyou?"

"Delly, calm down. It's hardly like you're going to be reaped."

She eventually calmed down after that.

The entire Town Square goes silent as Effie Trinket goes onto the stage. Is it that bad to have a grudge for five years? Well, she did unintentionally choose my sister for certain death soo...

"And now, ladies first."

Jeez, I dodn't realise that I'd zoned out during the film. Luckily, everyone can say it backwards in their sleep. She then put her hand in the bowl and chose the victim.

"Primrose Everdeen."

Delly and I were taken back as Katniss' younger sister made her way to the stage. Katniss suddenly called to her and ran. "I volunteer as tribute!" she shouted. Effie then beconed her upto the stage and asked for her name.

"Katniss Everdeen." she just-about whispered.

"Let's give a round of applause for District 12's first ever volunteer!"

No one clapped. Realising that, she walked over to the boy's reaping bowl.

"Peeta Mellark."

I froze. I thought it was a nightmare before someone shoved me. Walking up to the stage, I looked at Owen and Matthew. Matthew was smirking; Owen was stunned. One of the other guys had to punch him to get him back to reality.

"Shake hands, you two!" Effie said excitedly after I had approached the stage.

I couldn't believe it.

I was a tribute for the 74th Hunger Games with my crush.

And, we're done here. I apologise if this is not how boys act. I wouldn't know as I am a girl withy 0 brothers. Also, I've randomly been doing Hunger Games reasearch on Wiki and found out: Portia and every victor's prep team were killed except Katniss' and Delly was basically Peeta's best friend and she used to say he was her brother. I obviously ship KatnissxPeeta but I understand where DellyxPeeta shippers are coming from!

EAH HG GEEK

XOXO
