Chapter 22:
-Katniss-
A knock on the door woke me from sleep, again.
“Katniss? You in there?” Annie calls out.
I tapped the door, too lazy to speak. The door opens and I stare at her from my spot in the floor.
“What are you doing there? C’mon. Up” Annie pulls at my hands and I allow her to pull me up in a sitting position.
“Something’s up. Tell me” she says as she bent down to my level.
“Peeta” I say.
“Still like him?” she asks.
I nod.
“Then you can work it out. He likes-no loves you Katniss”
“Delly” I say.
“Means nothing to him. Now let’s get you home” she says and pulls me up to my feet.
I walk out to see the boys gone.
“Where are the others?” I ask.
“Gone” Glimmer says and we walk back to my car.
“Twelve! How’s she?” Thresh asks.
“I’m good. Thanks Thresh, for the party invite” I say.
“It’s nothing. And thanks too” he says.
“For what?” I ask.
“You got me and someone together last night” he grins.
“Oh. No problem” I smile weakly and make my way to the car.
“I don’t want to drive” I say, climbing in the passenger seat.
“I will then” Clove replies and starts the engine.
The drive home was silent and fast, dropping the girls back into their houses.
“It’s us again” Clove says lightly.
“Yeah” I reply.
After a few moments of silence I took the courage and asked.
“What happened with Peeta last night?” I ask.
Clove looked scared.
“I’m not mad Clove, I just need to know” I say.
“You both got seriously drunk and started kissing the wrong people” she says.
“At least I kissed. He fucked” I mutter to myself.
Clove turns to me for a second before turning back to the road.
“I heard that and yeah. We’re not entirely sure of what happened there” Clove says.
At this point she was already parking the car.
“Clove don’t. He slept with her. I saw them” I say through gritted teeth.
“You don’t know if that really happened” Clove says.
I shook my head
“No Clove. Stop defending him”
We were now inside the house.
“Just stop okay? The sight of them in that room was enough to scar me” I say.
“Katniss- I- talk to him first before assuming” she pleads.
