~skip 3 years~

I have been living here for 3 years and it's been hell watching the reapings and hoping Peeta won't get picked, each year I ignore the schedule for the day and only watch the capitol screenings and the reaping.  

Today was another day of hell, being anxious for him, wanting him here more than ever. Today I head to the lunchroom where president Coin lets me go to be all day.

I dress before almost running down to the lunchroom,nobody questions my actions on this day, they know that today is the reason we fight against the capitol, or train to fight. I slow and walk into the lunchroom and have my arm scanned, I get my bowl of turnips and piece of dry toast. I sit and eat alone as per usual in this room that is now so empty.

 we had a case of pox that killed or hurt most of our population, especially the younger kids, i'm only 16, i'm not one to speak as I did end up with some of the pox, lucky to survive, President Coin's daughter died,and her husband as well. 

Nobody mentions this anymore, we just try to get past the loss of possible soldiers. I eat my meal and line up to have them returned to the kitchen and be cleaned for lunch. I sit down and watch one of the small screens until lunch when I line up again and have my arm scanned, I get some chicken this time, they must be healthy now as most of the livestock was killed from the pox as well.

It's finally 14:00, I stare at the screen and watch it unfold(video) Effie Trinket calls out 'Primrose Everdeen' and a small girl ends up walking to the platform, she is shortly volunteered for by her older sister and by now it's time for the male bowl. I freeze and don't dare to blink. she opens the slip and calls out a name. 
Peeta Mellark

Before she can finish I'm standing and screaming no's, I sit back down and watch as he steps up probably thinking of how I was on that exact platform, how I 'died' nearly three years ago before it's too long he's gone, he's gone until his interview.
