❝I'll be dead before the day is done.❞-Florence and the Machines
Peeta
It's been three months since the note. At first when I found the little note taped next to the photograph, I was ecstatic. The few first weeks were the hardest, I was consumed with joy that can only be stopped the impatience of waiting for Katniss to arrive. When two months went by, I was a little annoyed that she kept me waiting, but I was still jumping for glee, and smelling every dandelion that passed. I was even doing better in school.
When it hit three months, I completely gave up. My hopes used to be as large as the ocean, now they might as well be the little puddle you step in right after it drizzles.
''Why did I trust a little sticky note?'' I keep thinking to myself.
I'm back to being friends with Johanna, Annie, and Finnick. It's not the same hanging out because Katniss isn't here. Today we decided to have a sleepover at Finnick's house, the first one since that night. Right now I'm packing my green bag.
"Green was Katniss' favorite color." I think to myself.
No, I have to move on. I take my green night bag and rip it. In the back of my closet sits my small orange bag. Not orange like our English teacher, Ms. Trinkets hair, but a sunset orange. That's when my phone beeps.
Having a hard time packing? Might wanna hurry, the bread you were making downstairs is burning! Throw it to the piggies before Momma Bear finds out! -K
What bread?? Oh no, the bread I left in the oven! I run downstairs and make sure to feed it in the pig pen and run as fast as I can, no overnight bag, or anything. I rush to Finnick's house completely speechless of Katniss' use of word and insensitivity.
Johanna
Tooth brush, check. PJ's, check. Sleeping pills..... Where are they??
"Mom, do you know where my sleeping pills are? I can't find them." I shout from upstairs.
"Jo, do you really need those, you are going to a sleepover! You probably will stay up all night!" My Mom replies in her frantic voice.
''Of course, she thinks I'll overdose again.'' I think to my self.
"No, I need them!" I scream.
"Check the cabinet, but please only take one." She exclaims.
I walk into my bathroom, and rip open the cabinet, but still no sleeping pills! I stomp all around my house, and I basically turn my whole room upside down. My little orange container with the pills is no where to be seen.
Just when I'm about to give up, I turn around to my bed. Sitting there, is the orange container filled with the pills.
"You've got to be kidding me!" I groan in frustration.
I then finish packing everything, and at first I forgot my phone. So, I was halfway there, and then I had to march back to my house to go get it. When I get my phone, I have a message:
Be careful with those pill tonight! Too much, and you'll end up like me! -K
"What a bitch." I think to myself, and then I slam my door and walk to Finnick's house.
