Everlark • the perfect ever after

Chapter 7 KATNISS

Greasy sea hasn't been around lately. I guess I must have scared her off. I would be afraid of a girl who suddenly, out of the blue, runs away for a night. I feel awful.

I have been taking care of myself though. I cook, I take showers daily and I even sit outside in my backyard for a few hours each day.

But I never do anything out of my yard. I stay safe, away from terrible memories, in my house or in the yard out back. I guess, if I want to get anywhere with my life I should go outside of my hideaway of a house and be spontaneous. But that hasn't happened until now.

Today is a good day. It's a beautiful fall day and it's warmer than previous days. I go for a walk through the victors village to the forest. Surprisingly, I am able to have a decent walk without having any memories engulf me into a panic attack. This time I control my emotions.

Once I walk a little though the woods, I start for town. This, being my first time back into town since my quick escape from greasy sea, I do have to control myself a bit more than before, in the forest.

I stop in town square. I look around at the people. Some are talking, but many are working. Some are working to build there houses, some filling up carts, but surprisingly enough, none of the people in the square are looking at me. There is the odd glance in my direction but no one is staring. This comforts me. I stop being tense and walk forward very casually towards a small grocery store. If I'm going to be taking care of myself, I'm going to need some food to cook with.

I enter and look around. I grab some vegetables and a jug of milk. For now this is all I need. I pay for the food with ease. Crazily enough, I walk out of the store unharmed, physically and mentally. Now I head to the bakery. It's on my way home anyways, why not get a loaf of bread?

Hello! This is a very boring chapter but don't worry, the reunion is coming soon. It's been hard to come up with a senario for the reunion, but I think I have it now.
Also every chapter I get less reads, what's up with that? Are you guys getting tired with my story? Am I starting to get boring? Tell me what you think in the comments! Bye!
