I'll carry you home (Everlark)

Chapter 29: Ultimatum

Chapter 29

Katniss P.O.V.

Yesterday my dad insisted on me and Peeta sleeping over. We said okay but later that night I got an outburst at my mom. Of course. She tried to put me and Peeta in different rooms. I yelled at her that Peeta and I have sex all the freaking time and exactly everywhere in our apartment but that we weren't gonna have sex in this house.

Prim burst out yelling at my mom to stop being a bitch and Elijah yelled at everyone to stop yelling. Dad and Peeta were just trying to get everyone to just calm down. Yeah the night turned into a disaster, my mom even called me a slut.

Well if I'm a slut I'm Peeta's slut because it's him I'm having sex with all the time. And if everyone knows I'm Peeta's slut, I'm proud to be. But only his.

I didn't tell my mom that yesterday though, I just stormed off and locked myself into my old bedroom and Peeta couldn't get me to open up for like an hour. It was an turbulent evening after everyone left.

I'm lying on my back, looking up at the ceiling. My hands on my stomach, exhaling deeply.

"Cleaning is fun", Elijah says happily as he throws a cup in the trash.

"Yeah we'll help cleaning up and then leave", I say.

"Can't you stay over?" My dad asks. "We can have blueberry pancakes with strawberries in the morning".

Oh my favorite.

I look at Peeta, making it his decision. I think it should be his decision because I don't really care.

"If you want to I'm okay", Peeta says.

"Okay than", I say and look at my father who's smiling widely at me.

We continue to clean up. When suddenly my mom comes into the living room.

"Katniss you should call Gale and apologize", she says.

I look at her as if she's joking. She's actually telling me to apologize? To Gale? And I believe she also wants me to apologize to her as well.

Well I may not know a lot of things. Why things happen. Why mom has decided to dislike every decision I make. Why she wants me to hate her. There can't possibly be any other reason she would do this to me.

"Excuse me?" I say moving forward without really knowing what to do, but Peeta catches my arm and pulls me back.

"Mom don't start", Prim says, warningly. "They're staying over the night and I don't want to be World War Three here!"

"Well Peeta is staying in the guest room", my mom says flatly. "And Katniss in her room. And that's final!"

"Who the hell do you think you are?!" I burst out. "Why the hell would Peeta and I sleep in different rooms?! It's not like you don't know that we have sex! We have sex every fucking day, every fucking where in the whole fucking apartment! But it's not like we would even have sex here, so why the fuck would Peeta and I sleep in different rooms?"

"Because that's my rules", she says, crossing her arms over her chest. "And language young lady, you don't talk that way to me".
