Learning to live: wedding talk

Me an Johanna must of fell asleep on the couch, we woke to loud voices an banging coming from the hallway.

"I don't know what I've just done withy my Key is it, is it in the thee side of the door?" I heard peeta ask.

"I don't know man, I just want to eat my kebab an sleep before we get in trouble" gale replied, they both sounded extremely drunk.

Johanna opened her eyes yawning,

"What the hell is that?" She asked sitting up.

"Katniss will kill me if I don't lock the door" I heard peeta tell gale.

"She won't know let's just go eat our kebabs an sleep"

Johanna rolled her eyes "well they will have a shock when they come in here" she smirked

"I think they're worse then us on Friday"

"Katniss nobody was worse than you" she laughed.

The next thing the living room door flung open an gale came staggering in with a kebab in his hand. I don't think he even noticed us until peeta came staggering after him.

Johanna coughed getting their attention. Gale basically shit himself.

"Johanna hey, how was your weekend? I've missed you so much, have I told you how much I love you?" Gale mumbled all his words.

"Oh stop it you're not in trouble I'm your girlfriend not your mother, eat your kebab an get to bed" she pressed her lips into a line trying to suppress a laugh.

"I'm going to make sure that idiot is okay, you alright with us staying tonight?" Johanna asked.

"Course not you idiot" she didn't need to ask.

"Thanks" she guided gale out of the living room an up the stairs.

Peeta looked out of it.

"You alright?" I laughed.

"Yeah yeah just a little sleepy" peeta tried to walk over to the couch on wobbly knees.

"Come on, I think it's time we went bed as well" I held on to peeta's hand.

"Yeah I'm so tired" he slurred,

"I can imagine drinking non stop all weekend"

"I was forced into it" peeta flew his hands in defence.

"I'm not shouting at you" I laughed. "I'm glad you had fun" I rubbed peeta's back.

"Plutarch got that drunk he went missing" peeta said. "you will die when you know who it is" he laughed.

"What do you mean he went missing?" I ignored the last part.

"He left with somebody" peeta laughed.

"Come on let's get you to bed" I told peeta.

Peeta an gale were definitely going to be ill tomorrow.

I woke up to a sprawled-out peeta still in his clothes, lay on his back, one hand by his side one hand across his face.

I pushed myself up, scraping my almost black hair into a bobble. I decided to leave peeta to sleep his definite hangover off an make some coffee, for the first time in 2mornings carrying out my repetitive game as I made my way to the kitchen.

"Morning" Johanna yawned, sitting at the kitchen table, knees tucked under her chin.

"Shit Jo you scared me" I laughed holding my hand to my chest. "How long you been up? " I asked her yawning.

"About an hour, I'm on my second up of coffe anyway" she said wrapping her hands tighter around her mug.

"How's gale?" I joked walking over to the kettle.

"Still asleep but he was really, really wasted last night" she replied. "What about peeta?"

"God I have never seen him so bad" I laughed putting sugar in my cup. "He started going on about Plutarch going missing or something, I don't know if he was serious though"

"Yeah, gale said something about that, he was slurring his words a lot though. He said something like Plutarch met somebody, an gale knew her or something" she shook he head. "I don't know, I don't think they were in the Capitol though".

I poured the hot water into my mug stirring the sugar in my cup thinking about what peeta said;

"Peeta said to me 'Plutarch went missing' then something like 'you will die when you find out who it is' but he was really drunk so I don't count him as a reliable source" I laughed joining Johanna at the kitchen table, crossing my legs as i sat down.

"God sounds like their weekend was crazier than ours" Johanna said.

"Definitely" I agreed.

"So have you decided what kind of wedding dress you want?"

I nearly spat out my coffee, Johanna acting like a girl? I answered to keep the peace.

" I don't know I haven't really thought about it" I confessed.

"Yeah well you better think, Effie has sent me strict instructions for wedding dress shopping today" Johanna laughed rolling her eyes.

"Oh god" I laughed "and what are we doing with them two idiots?" I joked.

"They will probably be sleeping that hangover off all day" she replied drinking her coffee. "Annie is coming too, she doesn't want to miss you choosing your dress, she's funny like that"

"Is it just us three?" I asked taking a sip of my coffee.

"Mmhmmm" Johanna replied. "What you doing about the bridesmaid situation?"

"I've decided on having you an Annie as maids of honour, an as bridesmaid Delly up to now, I can't decide between daisy an Melissa, an if I have them both I feel mean on Tammie" I sighed.

"True, I don't think mel will mind if she's not bridesmaid but I think daisy wanted to be" Johanna told me.

"Hmm I have known daisy longer too" I added.

"Well decide quick tomorrow were wedding dress shopping" Johanna laughed rubbing her forehead.

"Have you spoken to delly?" I asked her.

"I had a text off her before saying thom was that hammered she found him asleep on her front door" she laughed before adding. "And when she woke him he was still abit drunk" she shook her head sipping her coffee. "What is it with men and drinking" she paused for a second "shit I wonder how haymitch is"

"Oh he I know will be hammered, but alright, he's used to being drunk" I scoffed.

"That's probably right" she nodded in agreement. "Who's actually coming to the wedding?" She asked.

I blew air out of my cheeks thinking about it, "you gale, Annie, delly, thom, daisy, mel, Tammie, Pollux, haymitch, Effie, paylor an her husband, Plutarch an maybe his mystery woman!, my mum, erm I think Danny an Leighton who help peeta out sometimes, mrs Hawthorne an the kids, greasy sae, her family, beetee an if anybody decides to bring a plus one. I guess we will find out on Friday when everybody comes to 4" I told Johanna.

"So much for a small wedding" she said and we both laughed, but we never could of had a small wedding. Not really. There is too many people who mean so much to me, an I couldn't imagine marrying peeta with out them being there. Because after all most of them are the reason me and peeta can get married.
