Glimmer: A Hunger Games Fanfic

Chapter 7

I walked into the District 1's room with a huff. I picked up a fork from the table and threw it towards the wall. I felt the anger contact with my my muscles as I threw it hard. The fork sank deep into the wall that the end didn't even bounce. I breathed in heavily. What was happening to me? A few days ago, I wouldn't act like this. I would have acted a little jealous but to throw a tantrum?  That wasn't me. Anxiety pushed it's way down my throat and the room started to get smaller. I had to get out of this room. Something was wrong with me.

I rushed out the door pushing Marvel, Annette, Cashmere, and the stylists, who was just entering the room, out of my way. I heard Annette and Monroe shout my name but Cashmere told them to give me space. District 1's room was on ground floor and I started walking the halls, not caring if I got caught. I was looking for a place where I could just sit and think.  The past 24 hours was getting the best of me. I kept walking for a good 10 minutes when I saw a clear door on my right, bearing the sign 'Greenhouse'.

Without hesitating I open the doors quickly and thew myself on the first stone bench I saw. The sobs came quickly. I didn't want to be here anymore. I just wanted to be home at my sister's funeral with my family and friends. All I wanted was someone who I actually knew to wrap me in their arms and tell me everything was okay. But nothing was okay. I lost my home, my sister, my sponsors who I'm sure all left me for that District 12 girl, and my sanity. If I saw myself a right now, I'm pretty sure I would slap myself silly. I kept on crying until everything became numb. I took in a shaky breath as I tried to wipe my eyes. Everything seemed like it was going great then BAM that Katniss Everdeen showed up ruining my confidence with her fire outfit. I don't know why though. It was something about her that triggered something inside me and I haven't talked to her yet. It was like I know that she will take that glory of  winning the Games away from me and  like a coward I ran off. Why?

"Glimmer?" I heard a someone whisper. I turn my head over my left shoulder to see Xavier standing there. It looked like he wanted to touch me but was afraid that he was going to break me.

"Oh. Hi, Xavier." I say, not smiling. I didn't want him to see me like this! Just my luck.

"Are you okay?" he asked, taking a step closer.

"Does it look like I'm okay?" I retorted. Not caring if I hurt his feelings.

"It doesn't hurt to ask."  He said with more strength in his voice. I scoffed. He came closer to me and put his strong arms around me and I found myself once more melting in his arms, "Do you want to talk?"

I looked into his unique purple eyes and shook my head, " No. I'll be fine. I don't need you to worry about my mental state."

"I won't and it looks like you're not fine. You're still shaking."

I debated on telling him on what I thought about Katniss but in the end I said, "I'm not ready to talk about it yet."

He just nodded and pulled me into a tight hug. He didn't say anything. Just held me there. It felt good to have someone do that. I buried my head into his chest and started to breathe calmly until I decided that it was probably time for me to go back to the room.
