I bite my bottom lip and blood slowly comes out. I don't stop.

"I-I-I" he starts. He's going to say no, I know it. "Would love to!" he catches me off guard. This time I choose to smile.

"So umm what about you read me the next chapter of that book you read to me?" I ask smiling. He hesitates to think, I know I'm asking to much from him.

Haymitch walks past us, leaving a smell of liqour behind. I glance at him, I never knew anyone could be so unresponsible. He's such a --- UHH!

"I'll love to read the next chapter." He smiles as he talks, "I'm just going to finish eating. Ok?" I nod and walk to my room. Happily. I clean my teeth and face. I smile through the mirror, disguising all my fear and sadness.

Tomorrow are the interviews. I don't what I'm going to do, I'll probably break down crying. I'm sure they'll ask me about my mom, or Katniss, or about district 12. That momentary happiness I had. went away. Leaving me broken down, in the bathroom.

I put my back against the bathroom door. My eyes start getting watery, not like any other time. I hug myself as I let out a quiet sigh. What did I do to get put here? I slowly slide down, until I reach the floor. I close my eyes, imagining 12.

My house looks perfectly fine, except no one is in it. Only buttercup, how much I miss that cat. Katniss' bed is made, so is mine. The kitchen looks untouched, except I notice something different. No one is there, not even Mother. She's always there, except for the reaping day...

"Prim," Peeta says while knocking,"Are you ok?" He says with such a calm voice, but I can feel that he has been knocking for more than just 1 minute.

"Y-yeah. I'm ok." I say with a shaky voice, I sniff as I open the door. My bottom lip trembles and I can feel myself wanting to cry again.

No, Prim! Mom wouldn't like to see you cry.

Katniss. Katniss' voice. I know I have to stay strong but I never thought Katniss' voice would come back to me. I just cry again, not caring if Peeta is watching me.

Katniss was like the perfect big sister. She even kept Buttercup knowing how much I loved that cat, but they never got along. She helped my mom and I live, by bringing food everyday. I always admired her.

Peeta puts his arms around me, bringing me out of my thoughts. "K-katniss, sh-she" I start talking but Peeta, once more, interrupted me.

"She must of had been a awesome sister. She wouldn't of had taken you to see those cakes for nothing." He said nicely, and I can swear he smiled. I pull back and wipe my tears. I sit down crossed-legged on my bed.

"Can you read me the book?" I said as I looked at the book. He smiled and sat down at the end of the bed, and started reading. He is really good in narrating their voices.

After 5 minutes, I started feeling sleep. I closed my eyes and dreamed of the story Peeta was reading. I smiled in my sleep, imagining that perfect world.
