(Katniss POV)
I sprint inside to where my baby sister's cries are heard. I run through the sliding glass doors to see my brother holding back my dad as he tries to get at Plutarch while shouting, "how dare you take her away! I loved her and she's all that ever mattered to me!" I pick Prim up and take her out to the back.
"Shh it's okay don't worry." I kiss her forehead and dry her tears.
"Stay here okay?" She nods her head lightly at me.
I stand back up and walk back into the house where my mom stands there still in shock.
"Mom, go out to Prim." I lead her outside to where Prim stands.
I walk back over to my dad as anger surges through me.
"Stop it!" I scream at him which causes him to stop his flailing.
"What the hell are you doing!" Tears stream down my face as my dad just watches me I shock.
"You need to move on, Dad, because not everyone will come back like that!" I take his wrist and drag him outside the front of the house.
"I can't believe you would humiliate me like that in front of them!" He's at a loss for words, unable to explain why he did this.
"Are you stupid?!" I hit his chest constantly as I yell at him.
"I should never forgive you for this! I should never come back home and I should never have to look you in the eyes!" He looks up at me with pain written in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Katniss, I just was thinking about her and I couldn't stop thinking about how much I missed her and how much I still love her." I sit down on the porch steps and keep my back facing him.
"You should be ashamed of what you've done." I wipe the tears from my eyes as sobs rack my body.
"You should just leave." He puts a hand on my shoulder but I shrug it off.
"Leave!" I demand and that's when he walks down the steps and back to his car.
I don't look back at him as I walk inside to where Plutarch sits in shock. "I'm sorry about my father's reckless and unnecessary behavior." he looks up at me with a small smile.
"You're great for my mother and he should accept that he'll never get her back." I walk out of the sliding glass doors where my mother and prim sit, holding tightly to one another.
When my mom hears me walking out towards them, she stands up and faces me. "Where'd he go?" I sigh lightly then sit down.
"I made him leave." I pick at my dirty fingernails and zone out, not wanting to be here anymore.
"Maybe I need to talk to him?" She suggest and I shake my head.
"Sweetheart, I think I have to." I look up at her and nod.
"If that's what you need to do to get us out of this mess then go ahead." She hands Prim to me then walks inside
"Oh Mom?" She looks back at me with her eyebrows raised.
"I'm sorry dinner was ruined." She walks over to me and hugs me tightly.
"We'll do it a different night." I nod my head then she leaves the house.
Gale comes outside and hugs me tightly. "Do you want to sleep here tonight?" I nod my head lightly.
"I think Prim should too." She looks up at me with her tear stricken face.
"Like a sleepover?" I grin at her innocence.
"Exactly like a sleepover." We walk inside and have a silent dinner without my mother.
