Was it all worth it?

-Clove-

When I woke up I got blinded by the lights right above me.This wasn't the sun it was unnatural light.When my eyes got used to the brightness.I looked down a little and tried to figure out where I'm. All I saw was soundproof white walls.No handle no doors it was like an asylum.I even was strapped to the bed.Well I guess I got my karma I ended up in a freaking asylum.

"Well well well our sleeping beauty woke up."I heard a familiar voice.

"E?" I looked around."Is that really you?"

"Yes it's me.You didn't forgot that you won didn't you?" I heard the door close and saw Enobaria enter the room.

"Where did you come from?What is going on?"

"You won the games.We're in Capitol.Today or tomorrow depending on when Cato will wake up you will be presented to Panem as winners.That means that long as boring interview with Caesar." She explained sitting on the edge of my bed.

"Cato is fine right?" I don't know why that was the first question I asked.

"Of course he's fine."

"Oh thank Panem he's alright."I exhaled."So do I have to get prepared for that interview is there any script or anything.Another fucking runway that I have to shine and pretend that I'm pretty little girl?" I asked knowing that we have to get back to business.

"Well yeah interview will be crucial.But no pretty little girl no more dresses that you don't want.As Anika said it we will not make you into a killer cupcake.Or something."

"Oh thank Panem."

"Clove listen.You have to be 100% yourself in that interview.There's no time for acting.Whole world knows you as that fearless, intimidating and passionate girl from two.You have to show them that person in the games was yours.There was no act.Got it?" She got serious sayin that.I knew I have to convince all those people ,that don't know me that. I'm who I'm and I have just few hours to do so.While I will watch highlights of those games.

„What happened with acting.Did Capitol or president Snow got suspicious about careers love or what?" I asked just to clarify.

„It's not about you but twelve.They all think it was a weak act form her side that it was just him in love with her.But now their attention turned to you guys.So just be you, act like you do and you will be fine Clove." She put her hand on my shoulder untied my limbs ,and left the room soon after.

Interesting that all people think that love of Peeta and Katniss was an act but ours is real.Maybe it's soul based on the fact that they though twelve won't make it.That they had to make up a love story to get sponsors to keep them alive.Maybe because no other career showed more emotions during the games they though it's real and just got consumed by it.My mind was running in circles.Everything and nothing made sense.At this point i thought that I will go insane soon if they won't let me out of here.Time passed and no one got to me not even a soul.Then there was a gentle knock and door opened.I saw my stylist.

„Holy shit Anika.You're here.So tell me what is going on.Enobaria did tell me something but it wasn't much."I said as I rushed over to her.

„Hey Clove.Its all good the show will start tomorrow at nine.You know Capitol folks don't like to wake up early."She chuckled as she hugged me. „Cato woke up like an hour ago.It wasn't what we expected but it's good that he's fine....So Clove tomorrow I will come here and get you glammed up and then you will rock the Capitol.For now here is your food and enjoy see you tomorrow." A table with plates full of food appeared as she left the room.

I was surprised by the amount of food.Full plates that had mushed potatoes ,chicken, rice, red meat, even some vegetarian options it was so much.In that moment I think was the first time since the finale that I felt hunger.Not any hunger I felt like I got starved for months.Instead of eating I inhaled that food I felt like that stupid fatso.Now I know how he feels.When I was finished my body just fell onto the bed.My stomach felt like it was about to explode.I guess that binge eating wasn't good for me and now I'm gonna suffer for it.Only hope is that I will get better for tomorrow.After fighting my whole body and head over pain I was in ,I fell asleep.
