The Untold Story Of Effie Trinket and Haymitch Abernathy

Together Again

(A/N : Um...so this is pretty cheesy in the beginning....and I really really really hate this chapter... It's just...awful to be honest. But that's just my thought so tell me what you think about it. I still have A LOT more written that I have to post.)

I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing. I answer it.

"Hello?" I ask half asleep.

"Hi, its Haymitch. I left, I'm in 12. We can be together again when you get the guts to apologize for throwing me out and punching me in the face. Honestly I am sorry I cheated on you. It was a stupid mistake and you have every right to be mad at me." He hangs up.

I get up and get ready to leave for 12. I stop before I get in my car. He deserves to apologize to my face for cheating on me. When he does I will apologize for punching him and throwing him out. I just sit and wait for his phone call or for him to show up.

I've spent the last 6 1/2 months sitting doing absolutely nothing! I feel terrible. I can't sleep. I can't eat. I don't even have the strength to put on makeup. I haven't heard a single word from Haymitch. I get a call saying that the Victory Tour will be starting within the next 2 1/2 months. I haven't even starting planning yet! I finally find the courage to eat, bathe, and put on some flattering clothes, my hair has grown out so long I cut it so there is no trace of fuchsia left. I feel better being a blonde again. I later head off to 12. On the train I think of what I'll say.

~~~~~~~~~~

I arrive and still don't know what to say. I walk quickly to the Victors village. Everyone stares at me from their windows. I knock on his door, he answers right away.

"Haymitch look. I'm so sorry. I didn't want to throw you out but you cheated on me... I thought it was a way to say you didn't love me... And I'm still not sure if you do love me... And I punched you because I was mad at you..." I say with tears streaming down my face. Haymitch takes my hands.

"I'm sorry I cheated on you. It was just a rough patch in our relationship...it was only once... I have loved you from day one and will continue to love you until I die." Haymitch says kissing my hands and cheek.

"Prove it. Scream to the world that you love me." Haymitch leans close to me.

"I love you and always will." He whispers in my ear.

"Why did you whisper it to me?" I ask confused.

"Because you are my world..." He kisses me. "Is that good enough proof?"

"Good enough for me." Haymitch and I stand there, his lips pressed against mine, him holding me in his embrace. I'm pretty sure everyone near is staring at us. But I don't care, I love Haymitch and that's all that matters.

"For the next two weeks we will have to plan all the events for the tour before I give the plan to Snow.... I don't know why they rely on me for EVERYTHING! Its enough stress that I have to plan even if its not my district. Snow just hates me." I say trying to get my headache to go away.

"Hon, you've been here for three hours and haven't thought of a damn idea yet."

"Its stressful okay! I have to plan the time, venue, food, I have to know who will be there..."

"Sorry. I didn't know."

"Its okay." I say thinking.

"Does he still think that you and I are broken up?"

"Who?"

"Snow."

"After all these years...yes he does."
