(Katniss POV)
It's been a week since the whole situation with my dad. I haven't talked to him much; I don't plan on doing so for a while longer. Clove found out about it and decided it was best for me to get out of the house and be away from him.
Clove, Foxface, and I went to the mall to keep my mind off of things. I wasn't expecting them to take a liking to me as quickly as they did. They act like they've known me for a long time which brings me hope for being able to keep these friends.
"So, Katniss, how about you and Peeta?" I furrow my eyebrows in confusion.
"What do you mean?" She chuckles at my question like I should know what she's talking about.
"What I mean it's obvious you two fancy each other." I scoff at her answer.
"I don't fancy anyone, Clove." She shrugs her shoulders, then leans back in her chair.
"Who said he didn't fancy you?" She replies.
"Maybe he does, but I'm not one for relationships." I take another sip of my pop as Foxface asks a question.
"Why not, Kitty?" I know this is a little judgmental seeing that I don't know them all that well but I swear Foxface is a lesbian. She always tries to touch my hand and her eyes seem to be on me all the time.
"Because I'm always moving around the world and relationships are hard to handle." I stand up from my seat.
"I'm leaving now." I walk out of the restaurant and walk towards the exit of the mall.
"Hey!" I look behind me to see Peeta chasing after me. Once he finally catches up to me he takes a minute to catch his breath.
"What are you doing here?" He says once he catches his breath.
"Leaving actually." I turn on my heel and keep walking towards the exit.
"Wait." He grabs my wrist and spins me around.
"I haven't seen you in awhile I missed you." I bite my lip when he says he missed me. Why would he miss me? He barely knows me and frankly, I shouldn't be missed by someone I barely know.
"Uh, well, I've had quite the week." I realize he still has a hold of my wrist so I pull my wrist out of his hand.
"Oh want to talk about it?" I shake my head.
"Well, at least come get some lunch with me." I look at the time it's 12:30 I guess I could.
"Yeah sure." We walk into Qdoba; once we've got our food, we sit down. He starts the conversation up with my previous week.
"So, what happened?" I roll my eyes.
"I thought I told you I didn't want to talk about it." I snap at him.
"Katniss, I can see in your eyes that you're dying to tell someone." I sigh, he's right and now I have to tell him.
"Fine, Prim and I went to have dinner with my mom. My dad decided to show up and make a big scene in front of Gale, Prim, my mom, her husband, and I. He tried to fight my mom's husband right in front of Prim, who of course started crying. Long story short I haven't talked to my dad since and I don't plan on doing so." he looks shocked at what I just said.
"Did he apologize?" I nod my head since I have food in my mouth.
Once I swallow I reply, "He did but he ruined everything and I just don't think I could forgive him."
He makes a brave move and grabs my hand from across the table. "Don't worry, Katniss, it'll all get better. Everyone has had problems with parents but in the end it all gets better." I smile at his words of comfort. I look down at his hand on mine before he takes his hand off mine.
"Sorry." He mumbles.
The rest of our lunch was awkward and silent. I have to admit that what he said to me really helped me believe that things would return to the way they were.
"Peeta, thank you for telling me things would get better it really helped me," I say once he dropped me off at home.
"No problem, Katniss, I'm always here to help you." I nod my head before getting out of the car and heading inside.
I see my dad sitting in the kitchen; when he hears me enter he looks up and gives me a small smile, which I return. "I'm sorry for being so stubborn." I mumble as I wring my fingers together.
"Do you forgive me?" He asks, I give a simple nod of my head.
"Oh, thank you." He gets up from his chair then hugs me tightly.
"Be honest, Katniss, do you like it here?" I think about his odd and irrelevant question before answering.
"Well-" The door bursts open and in comes a raging Gale.
What happened this time?
😬😬😬😬😬😬
I know, it's crappy. BUT I have a REALLY important question to ask you guys that couldn't wait so I just whipped this chapter up really quick. What would you say to me making random one shots every Friday for most fandom? Some fandoms being The Hunger Games, Marvel, mash ups with different characters, TFIOS, TMI, and more.
I would be making a one shot each Friday for you guys since I technically don't have to update that day; the only reason I'm updating today is because I barely did this week.
Would you guys be up for that? comment below! Please I need to know!!
