The Untold Story Of Effie Trinket and Haymitch Abernathy

Can't Put You Through It - Part 2

(A/N: Oh jeez this is possibly the most boring one I'll post....ever. Really honestly I hate this one the most...)

I arrive in 12 and run to Haymitch's house. I burst through the door, I run upstairs to see Haymitch with liquor in his hand and a gun to the other. With his finger is on the trigger he lifts the gun to his head.

"HAYMITCH NO!" I scream at him. I knock the gun out of his hand and wrap my arms tightly around him. He drops the bottle of liquor and holds me tightly.

"I wasn't gonna do it sweetheart."

I start crying. "Yes you were."

"I'm sorry. I just couldn't spend another minute without you."

"I'm so sorry I left. It was the biggest mistake of my life. It broke my heart but I thought it was for the best. But I was so wrong." I say as sobs choke me. Haymitch strokes my hair and kisses my forehead.

"I know that's what you thought. Everyone makes mistakes..." Haymitch says whispering in my ear. He kisses my cheek.

"I'm so sorry." I whisper, I kiss his cheek.

"I know you are sweetheart, I'm sorry too."

"Haymitch, I have to tell you something."

"Yeah." He says looking down at me.

"Um.... I was with.... Caesar."

"What?!"

"Dont yell! Dont be mad. It was one time. And I stopped him when he said he wanted to sleep with me..." I'm lying but I know the truth would hurt him more.

He sighs. "It's okay, I guess we're even now..."

"Yeah.... I'm going to go stop by Katniss' house for a while, you just think for a little bit."

I walk to Katniss' house and knock on the door. Prim answers.

"Hi Prim."

"Hi."

"Can I come in?" Prim rolls her eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes at me."

"Its not like I care." She says rolling her eyes again.

"Really, do you really want to go there?" I ask getting angry.

"Whatever."

I sigh. "I'm not even going to try."

"Good. We'd be here all day. I have better things to do than talk to you."

"Really, I'm the person that gave you LIFE and I'm not important enough to talk to?" I ask furious.

"Whatever. No one made you throw me away. That was your choice."

I gasp. "I had no other choice! It was hard enough having Anna around!"

"Oh, so you would've rather just given us all away? She died because you didn't pay attention to her. And then Katniss, my best friend and the only one who cared for me, almost died. Because you didn't want us..."

"If it helps, all of you were accidents." I say shaking my head slightly.

"I'm not surprised. You've made lots of them."

"I'm just saying IF you weren't an accident, you wouldn't be alive.

"And that would've been better. I wouldn't have a dead sister. I wouldn't have been neglected, tossed out. My sister wouldn't have been in grave danger, because I wouldn't have had one. And best of all, YOU wouldn't have been in my life!" I gasp. She storms off towards the woods.
