"Sure" haymitch said. "So this isn't going to be a long speech or as heartfelt as Effie's. or embarrassing that comes tomorrow"

A few laugh came from the crowd.

"so good luck with this one peeta it's not to late to back out you know"

more laughs from the crowd.

"I hope you choke on your beef" I said loudly.

"That might be possible it's a little dry" haymitch sniggered.

"Stop it haymitch" Effie said quietly.

"We're never going to have a normal life are we" I laughed to peeta.

"Yeah that's the best part" he said back.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"We'll the circumstances might of been horrible, but I wouldn't have you.We wouldn't have Effie or haymitch, Annie or Johanna, we wouldn't have anybody in this room" he said sweetly.

I smiled. "I really do love you peeta mellark"

"Well everybody knows how much I love you" peeta said

I just shook my head smiling.

"Come on now everybody we have an early start tomorrow" Effie said at around 1am.

Me, Johanna, peeta, Melissa, her boy friend Landon, daisy, delly, gale an thom sat around a table drinking. Everybody else had gone up to bed.

"I'm serious come on" she ushered us all up.

"And you peeta you're staying in gales room tonight" she told peeta.

Johanna seemed to sigh relief.

"Johanna that means you're staying with katniss" Effie smiled.

Everybody stood up taking their drinks with them.

"now katniss you delly, Annie, Johanna an daisy need to be up an showered for 8am, I have a surprise for you in the morning" Effie suspiciously smiled.

"Okay" I said unsure.

"come on!" Effie said pushing peeta.

"See you in the morning" peeta said kissing me.

"Sounds familiar" I said breaking away from the kiss.

"Yeah well at least we know nobody is going to die tomorrow" peeta laughed.

"You never know with our friends" I joked.

Landon Melissa's boyfriend looked shocked.

"get used to it L, if you think that was shocking you should hear Johanna an katniss bitching" she smirked looking at Johanna.

"I have my axe in my bag mel, I'd be very careful" Johanna raised her eyebrows at Melissa.

Landon looked even more shocked.

"You won't do shit" Melissa laughed.

"Oh wont i?" Johanna sarcastically said.

"Ladies, we have a schedule to keep up now come on" Effie urged us forward.

Peeta kissed me again, more passionately this time.

"Come on love birds" Johanna shouted.

"Would you stop that?" I said to Johanna.

"Jesus Christ mockingjay don't you know me by now?" She sarcastically sounded shocked.

Landon looked like he was about to e sick.

"Come on L, that's enough from these dicks for tonight" Melissa joked pulling Landon away from all of us.

"Yeah see you later slag" Johanna shouted.

"Love ya" mel shouted back.

"Come on girl on fire lets go" Johanna said putting her arm round my shoulder.
