Katniss POV
I walk in the house and immediately I'm confronted with three puzzled looking girls.
"No kiss goodbye?" Asked Annie, "that was a very short date, only half an hour!"
"Katniss," Prim said worriedly, she always knows when something is wrong. "What happened?"
"He took me too a place and asked me to sing karaoke, I was just about to start singing the chorus of Ready or Not, when I started crying and I couldn't pull myself together," I begin to explain. "So I ran out and sat in the back garden of this place, I think I saw Finnick and Peeta but I'm not sure, Gale followed me and I told him I wasn't ready for a relationship especially with someone I'd just met. While I was there though I saw the perfect guy for you, Madge, I actually asked him if he wanted me to set him a blind date and he said Yes!"
"OMG! Really! What's he like you have to tell me!" Madge exclaimed, excitedly.
"I'm only saying he's perfect for you and the date is this Friday," I say and walk off mysteriously, leaving the tree girls in hysterics. What can I do for a mayor's daughter and a guy who loves the forest? There's only one thing I can do, ask Peeta and Finnick for help, my thoughts are interrupted by a knock on the door and in walks mom.
"Katniss," she says worryingly. "Turn on the TV now!"
I walk back down the stairs and see that Madge, Annie, Prim and mom are walking in the front room, I follow them and turn on the TV and there's an urgent report. We all listen to the news correspondent, "Urgent report from L.A. outside John Everdeen's house. Eye witness reports say Mr. Everdeen, 2 Oscar winner, was pulling out of his drive when Edward Hawthorne, who won his first Oscar last year, was pulling out of his drive directly opposite. The two collided and now are in need of urgent treatment it is predicted that neither will make it, Diane von Neumann reports."
Prim bursts in to tears and knowing that I can't do the same, I confront my little sister as I glance over at mom she's frozen in a trance, the only sense of life is her chest going up and down. I always knew she never wanted him to leave, but then it dawns on me, Gale Hawthorne and Edward Hawthorne, they must be related!
"Katniss?" Annie says, "I think we better go, you need some family time."
"Ok," is all I say and Madge and Annie comes and gives me and Prim a hug and then they leave. "Prim, it's late you need to get to bed. I'll stay up with mom for a bit."
She nods sadly, gets up and walks up the stairs, mom still hasn't moved but I'm sure she'll be back to normal by tomorrow just a little sader. I'm about to go to bed when there's an urgent knock at the door, I consider ignoring it but then I think it might be Gale, so I walk to the door and opp end it. It's not Gale, but it's Peeta, why is he here? Why does he care whether I'm upset or not?
"Hey," he said awkwardly. "I was just wondering, is your dad John Everdeen?"
I nod and burst into tears, surprisingly he wraps his arms around me and it feels like electricity, stop it Katniss! You can't still love this guy. You got over him when you met Cato, and now your falling for him again and what's worse is he has a girlfriend! I tell myself, I used to have a massive crush on him but I realised I could never have him so really I played Cato because going out with him made me get over my feelings for Peeta, but now I think I might be falling for him again!
"I'm sorry, Katniss," he says seeming genuinely sorry. "It only just clicked, I don't know why I didn't think about it before. I'm sorry, shall I go?"
"If you want to you can come in, and you don't have to be sorry it's not your fault and anyway the doctors say he might not make it, there's always hope when there is fear," I smile sadly.
"I'll come in," he follows me into the kitchen, I don't want him seeing mom how she is. "How was your dat with Gale?"
"Why ask? I saw you, and don't think about lying to me."
"Ok, I admit, I was there and so was Finnick, it was his house. They needed my help cooking, those two can't cook to save there life, do you want to know the point behind the karaoke machine?" He asks, I nod so he continues, "Gale had asked about fifty people to here you sing so then you'd get over your stage fright, he thinks it would've helped you."
"I don't think anything can help my stage fright," I say and he raises an eyebrow.
"Fine, if your going to say that I'll make it my mission to help you get over your stage fright," he says. "Now go to bed, you'll need your sleep. Plus first step of curing stage fright is having enough energy to overcome your fear."
I roll my eyes but obey, I don't know why but as I walk up the stairs I start to sing:
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about,
And she's got everything that I have to live without.
Drew talks to me, I laugh 'cause it's so damn funny [CD version]
And I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky 'cause
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
So I drive home alone.
As I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down
And maybe get some sleep tonight.
'Cause he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into.
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.
This can only mean one thing: I'm in love with Peeta Mellark.
