Peeta POV
Before leaving Katniss's house I decide to make her some cheese buns and chocoloate cupcakes, just as I leave I hear banging about, I run up the stairs I have to open a few doors before I find hers. I glance around the door and see her sprawled all over her bed, she must have done it in her sleep, I contemplate going in and waking her up but decide against it because she seems to be sleeping peacefully now. I quietly walk back down the stairs and as I walk past the living room door to the front door I see Mrs Everdeen, she looks terrible, lifeless and full of fear for a moment I was worried she was dead until I notice her chest going up and down signalling her breathing and continue to the door. I did think it peculiar that Katniss took me to the kitchen and not the living room but I guess she didn't want me seeing her mom, I drive home and when Ipull up outside my mom's bakery I quickly text Finnick:
(Peeta = Bold Finnick = Italics)
Hey! I need a to ask you for a favour.
What do you want?
If my mom rings you tell her I was there, please.
What have you done now? Been with Delly?
No, I've been with Katniss I'll explain more tomorrow.
Neither of you are single! How is a relationship between you going to work?
Who said anything about a relationship?
It could happen.
Well, will you do the favour for me?
Course mate! g2g
Bye
I shut my phone off and sigh, Finnick has done numerous favours for me like this before, when I've been doing stuff that she doesn't want me to do or with someone she doesn't want me to be with. He always accepts, and hopefully always will, I ocasionally ask Cato or Marvel but they sometimes decline the favour because they've been doing something else and want a favour off me which never works. The reason I have to ask them for this favour is because mom doesn't believe me when I've been somewhere, so she does ring the person I've allegedly been with so I have to be sure. I walk in and Wheat is at the cashier,
"Where have you been? Mom thinks you've been with that girl again," he asks.
"No, I haven't! I've been with Finnick, I was asked to do something by Mr. Boggs and then I went to Finnick's to explain why I didn't meet him at the end of the day," I reply Wheat raises his eyebrows but doesn't say anything more.
I walk into the Kitchen, mom is on the phone and dad and Rye are kneading dough, "ok Finnick. Thank you, I was just wondering, bye."
"I'll let you off this time!" My mom says sternly, "Finnick says you had something really important to do, so just this once you can just go back to washing the dishes and kneading the dough."
Oh my God! Did mom just let me off for something that I always get a black eye for, I must text Finnick and ask him what he said. When mom has gone around the front to help with the display windows, I grab my phone and text Finnick. Turns out he told my mom we were planning her birthday party which we have planned for next week, so now I'm stuck. I have under a week to plan a party for the most unpartiest person in the entire world!
(The day of the party)
I made sure that Finnick had helped me plan mom's birthday party, we asked dad for ideas he had a few, but I found out a special secret of my mom's turns out she loves music. I might have read her diary from when she was younger and she adored Ed Sheeran so we've planned to have a meal at a posh restaurant but then we'll have a special surprise.
I head home as soon as possible, this week we've been practicing with the band none stop, I really hope mum will love it! We all get ready for the party I've told mum to dress smart but not too formal, I put on some jeans and a white t-shirt with a denim jacket, I put on my grey vanns and prepare myself for either the most successful or most failed night of my life!
Me, my mum, my dad, Wheat and Rye all clamber into the back of the bakery van and I give my dad directions to the restaurant. We soon arrive and I hear mum give a big sigh and Wheat and Rye chuckle from behind me, the restaurant isn't too posh but it's not too casual either, I also made sure that it wasn't a family restaurant because mum hates kids.
I lead them all into the restaurant and wait to be seated our waiter, Gerald, was trying to lighten the mood with no success so he just gave us our table and menus. There was soft, quiet music in the background so for once it was never just an awkward silence, we ordered food and drinks it didn't matter how much they spent because I had saved over three hundred pounds as well as dad chipping in.
When the meals came, I excused myself from the table and headed into the corridor, I took the first left and found myself backstage with the band.
"Are you sure about this?" Gale asked, obviously concerned about my mum's reaction, "I mean she could lash out at you at any minute."
"I'm going to do this, otherwise I'd be punished anyway because she wouldn't understand where I was so if I don't do it her reaction will be just as bad if it goes wrong," I say to the rest of the band. "There's nothing to loose, come on places!"
We step out still hidden from the audience, I really hope this plan goes the way I want it to go, I nod my head with the curtains still closed and the band begin to play.
