Why Does Daddy Hit You?
Chapter. 4
Peeta's POV:
Soon enough Katniss, Alec, Rye, and Mavis arrive in District Twelve and soon they're unpacked and in my house. "Do you love my Mommy?" Rye asks me. "No buddy, we're just friends. " I lie. I never stopped loving Katniss. Gale was a bad choice. He turned into a drunk and abusive husband. She should be with me. "Peeta, can you make us something to eat? Preferably cheese buns." Katniss said. I nod and head to the kitchen.
The phone started to ring and I pick it up. "Hello?" I say. "It's Gale." Gale says. "What do you want; she doesn't want to talk to you. She told me about how you rape and abuse her?" I tell him. "Oh…I….I just want you to tell Katniss to tell the kids that I love them and miss them. It's not the same here without them. I remember when we first got married. I wasn't a drunk and I sure as hell wasn't abusive." He says.
Rye's POV:
Why doesn't Peeta love my Mommy? Doesn't he like her? I have no idea. I was put in a room with my brothers. Mavis cries all night and Alec snores. Humph. This isn't fair. I want to sleep with Mommy and Peeta. Why can't I?
Alec's POV:
So we're in District Twelve. With some guy named Peeta. There is a guy that is our neighbor named Haymitch. I like him. He's a drunk like Daddy, but when he's drunk, he's funny. Mommy says he is our Uncle Haymitch. I guess that's cool. But for now I just want to forget about Daddy. He's a mean, abusive, drunk. I heard that he killed Mommy's sister. Daddy's a dick.
Katniss' POV:
Peeta was talking on the phone with someone while I was lying on the couch trying to sleep. I told Alec and Rye about Haymitch and they want to meet him. I wonder if he's cut back on the drinking. "Katniss, dinner is ready!" Peeta calls from the kitchen. "KIDS, DINNER!" I shout. Alec and Rye run down the stairs and Mavis wakes up. He was asleep in the chair. I pick Mavis up and head into the kitchen, where Peeta has laid out, Cheese buns, steak, and…..LAMB STEW! DEAR GOD PEETA! HOW DARE YOU DESTROY MY TASTEBUDS!? I feed Mavis a few small pieces of steak and then feed him a bottle of milk. After a little while, he goes back to sleep and I put him in his baby crib. Then I go to sleep.
