Hey guys! This chapter, again, was co-writen with the amazing KatnissxSwift! Go check out her story too! It's amazing! Well anyways, here's your chapter!
-THG-
I run upstairs and change into a plain blue dress with ruffles. I quickly look at myself in the mirror, and head downstairs.
"Rose in a dress? Unheard of!" I hear behind me. I turn and see Caleb. "Oh shut up." i say smirking. "Are you coming with us?"
"I don't have anything better to do." he says shrugging. I see he's dressed up more than usual, wearing a button up shirt instead of a plain t-shirt. "You look good little brother."
"Stop calling me that." he says crossing his arms. "Fine." I say putting my hands up in surrender. "Where's dad and mom?"
"In the kitchen." he says. I lead the way and open the door. "We're ready." I say walking in.
We're about to enter the restaurant now, I peek inside and see Roy and his family sitting on a table already.
"Rose, quickly!" Dad calls and enters the restaurant. My prediction was right, there was nobody else here. Roy winks at me and I slip into the seat beside him while he squeezes my hand reassuringly. Fingers crossed this wouldn't turn into some big war.
"Gale." Mom manages a weak smile and nods at him.
"Katniss, nice to see you again." He forces back. Dad takes mom's hands and smiles at her as Gale scoffs. My parents swallow and I glance around with Roy.
"We should order." Roy says, picking up a menu.
"Good idea, darling." His mother picks up the menu too. We order and wait quietly as the food comes. Akward glances and coughs are exchanged around the table. "So..." I say trying to start a conversation. Everyone looks at me. But nothing else comes to mind to say. So I take my hands off the table and nervously set them in my lap. I look around at everyone. Why isn't anyone talking?
I feel Roy's hand go over mine under the table. I quickly glance at him with a smile that says "thank you." I see Gale look over at us, so in fear of him seeing I squeeze his hand and let go.
"Uh. I'm going to the...restroom." I say getting up. The tension in there is so thick you could cut it with a knife. I quickly hury to the bathroom and lock the door. Just 15 seconds 15 seconds of thinking.
I just need to get them talking that's it. If they don't say anything what's the point of is eating together right? I walk out towards the table with the intention of starting a conversation. But I stop halfway there. They've already started one.
"No Gale that's not why we're here!" I heard dad scream. "Then why are we?" Gale screams back.
"I could've been somewhere else right now!" the lady screams. Mom starts to talk but everything starts to go fuzzy and all I hear is a muffled voice. Oh no. Not here. Not now.
The crowd comes in from nowhere. They step on me and laugh when the see blood, I lie helplessly on the ground, waiting for Roy or my family to take me away, but they never come. Suddenly, I see mum coming and the crowd clears out. Smiling, I get up but she kicks me and I crash onto the ground again.
"Mom!" I whisper. "Why are you doing this?" The tears begin escaping out of my ocean blue eyes. Except, she doesn't care, she smirks before digging the knife into me.
I scream, well, I think I do. But I'm dead, I'm sure, and my own mother killed me.
"Rose. It's not real." A voice mumbles. The bluriness clears and I can see properly, not to mention hear properly, again. Roy is there, his face inches away from mine. A smile forms and he says to dad, "She's alright."
I turn and see dad come over and scoop me up, mom lies on the ground motionless.
"She's just shocked." Dad reassures me. Then what I see is so bizarre I don't believe it. Just as dad turns around, Gale kisses mum before she blows up with him. Then I realise, this is still not real.I stare wide eyed and open mouthed at what I see. No this is not real. Roy turns, "What the-"
"WAIT. You see it too?" I ask shocked. He nods his head in surprise. Then that means...this is real.
Mom slaps him across the face and dad stands up from where he was talking to me. Oh no, oh no this isn't good. He starts charging towards gale. I catch his arm and he tries to break free. "Caleb!" I scream. Caleb comes and helps me hold back dad.
"Roy, my mom!" I scream. She looks like she's about to rip off gales face. Roy hesitates but pulls my mom away. All of the kids are holding back the adults. This is mixed up. "Stop!" we keep screaming at them. None of them can hear, they're all screaming.
"ENOUGH." we hear. Everyone stops dead in their tracks. We turn and see Haymitch standing there.
I look around and see that even the waiters and waitresses have all found a hiding spot, behind the counter, under the table or chair and so on...
"Stop acting like one year olds!" Haymitch yells at us. We all nod in unison like a group of young children who have been caught doing something naughty. "GO CLEAN THIS MESS UP!" He orders us. We all start start cleaning up.
Somebody stands up. I realise it's mum.
"This is not the games, Haymitch." She runs out of the restaurant, followed closely by dad. Then Gale also runs out. I try running after them but Haymitch pulls me back.
"Leave them to be. If you do anything, nothing will be fixed." He tells me. I look him in the eye weirdly, but end up shrugging and going back to clean up.I clean for a while and accidently cut myself on a piece of glass but ignore it and keep cleaning.
Then a woman screams. "YOU WHAT?" She shrieks like a mad woman.
I look up and suddenly see Gale's wife charging towards me angrily.
