Primrose Everdeen

Chapter 2

"Oh Peeta! " I yell "Thank you!" he gives me a hug and then walks over to Gale "Are you in?" Asks Peeta

"No." he says abruptly, killing the mood "I'm not just some charity case you know? I'm not that pitiful am I?" Says Gale

"Gale, I'm sorry I just thought you two would like it, I mean I know what Katniss meant to you and I am very sorry. I just thought this would help. "

"Well it won't I don't need you to help me!" yells Gale

"Well, just thought I'd help. It's not my fault you know. Not my fault she died"

"I know, but seriously I don't need it."

We leave. It's a silent walk to the fence then Gale goes his separate way while Peeta and I walk together. "It means a lot Peeta. Don't listen to him. It's his pride talking. But you know, we could always give a couple cans of food or some coins to his mum. Or give all of your washing to her. Her name is Hazel." I say

"Well Prim sounds like a plan." he says

We walk for a while just thinking to ourselves and then Peeta says

"Prim, I know what's happening to your mum, she's not there for you. She's depressed and your like a sister to me. I'm just saying if you need anything, you ask me okay?" I nod and hug him goodbye. It's a quiet walk back home and I find mum up and out of her chair. "Hi mum!"

"Hi Prim, are you okay?" I reply yes, it's such a shock that she's back. I get a loaf of bread that Peeta baked us the other day out of the old cupboard and slice it for mum and I to eat. Fruit and nut just like the one he through to Katniss that one day in the rain.
