Always..

Chapter 4

We trudge through the snow,hand in hand until we reach Haymicthes House.We knock though we both know he's not going to answer,so we just walk inside.
The stench of wine and liquor fill my lungs the minute I enter!we find him asleep on the sofa in a pool of alcohol. We near him with care,because we know from past experiences that Haymitch always sleeps with a knife clucked to him. "Ok on three shake him as hard as you can and scream his name" I wisper. Peeta nods."1...2...3"
We shake Haymitch furiously and scream his name at the top of our lungs. Finally he wakes up and me and Peeta jump backwards to avoid the slash of his knife! "OH what?,What are you two doing here this early?" shouts Hamitch. I guess I should explain just in case, "Well last night Peeta heard gunshots from somewhere, and we were wondering if you heard them too,sense your up so late?" Haymitch looks me up and down to see if I'm joking,and then finally says, "Well I heard something loud, but I don't know if it was gunshots?" Peeta buts in almost angrily and says "But the had to be gunshots?What else would the be?!""Woah settle down lover boy,more than likely the were gunshots,but we don't know for sure?"Haymitch sounds surprised by Peetas intensity "Well I do and I know they are gunshots! Their coming back for us! I know it!"Peetas shouting now"Cmon Katniss Haymitch is no help"He turns around to go but I stay still"Katniss?"
I don't want to leave I want to ask Haymitch some questions so I say "I'll be there in a minute I just need to go..um..find my jacket I left here yesterday,you go on ahead I'll be there in a few." I hold my breath to see if it worked.. "Okay,be quick" Peeta grabs his jacket and heads outside. I hear the door slam and turn to Haymitch and shrug my shoulders. He answers almost immediately "What's up with him?"
