The Misfit Safe House(The Hunger Games)

Chapter 6

A/N this chapter is Thresh's funeral:(

<Katniss's POV>

Today is the day we have all been dreading. Thresh's funeral. We set up a bunch of chairs and a podium. We also have several pictures of Thresh alone and with all of us and Rue.

I take my dress, shoes, and makeup and hair products and go over to Peeta's dorm. When I get there he is already dressed and ready. He pulls me into a hug. The smell of him comforts me. I go to the bathroom and change into my outfit.

I attempt to curl my hair but it doesn't look very good so I just do a waterfall braid in my hair and leave it be. I don't usually wear makeup but this is for Thresh. I apply all very dark makeup and then head out if the bathroom and back to Peeta.

I am already crying. "Shhhh baby it's alright," Peeta says calmly but I can tell he is holding back tears. He holds me.

"It's not and you know it, I've come undone and so have all of the rest of us!" I say through my heavy tears.

"I know shhhh, let's go check on Rue and Prim,"Peeta suggests.

"Before we go tell me where love goes when it's gone," I ask. He just stares at me.

"Love doesn't go anywhere someone just becomes no one without their other half," he is crying now.

"Come on let's go," I say tears still falling.

<Finnick's POV>

I go into Annie's dorm. She is just finishing her makeup. She looks beautiful I just wish she didn't have to be so beautiful for this occasion.

She looks at me and forces a smile. "Hi Fin," I wave because I think if I talk I will break down. She comes over to me. "Finnick I don't think I can say my speech, I will just break down," she says her eyes teary.

I speak now, "It's okay you have all of us. We will all be breaking down. Come on we should go." I grab her arm and we leave.

We meet everyone at our cars in the parking lot except for Peeta and Katniss because they are getting Rue and Prim and Katniss's uncle Cinna(he isn't really her uncle but he was her fathers best friend) and Peeta's uncle Haymitch and aunt Effie. All those three adults helped with Thresh and Rue because they're parents didn't do shit.

"Okay let's go," Jo says. I don't know how she isn't crying. We get in our cars and drive to the meadows.

<Peeta's POV>

When we get to where Kat, Rue, and Prim live a crying Rue is being held by Prim. Kat has to look away. I'm guessing she doesn't want Rue to see her crying. "Come on guys we have to go," I say my voice shakey. We walk out to the car and drive to the meadow. We meet Kats uncle and my uncle and aunt at a gas station and we lead them to the meadow.

We are a little early so we check on all of our fellow misfits. We are all a mess. We have hired someone to direct the ceremony.

<Johanna's POV>

I am so not ready. I was told I am making my speech last so I have some time to prepare.

There are only a few people here. The misfits, Rue, Prim, Cinna, Haymitch, Effie, some other people showed up but we didn't even invite them but it warms my heart that people came to say goodbye to Thresh. My Thresh.

The director tells everyone to sit. He then recaps Thresh's life. Only then are we all invited to go up and speak. Rue and Prim are first.

Prim is just up with Rue to comfort her which make me so happy. Rue starts to speak between light tears. "My brother Thresh was a great brother, friend, and boyfriend. He was caring and-" she starts crying heavily and can only say one more thing. "He was a great protector," then she can't continue so her and Prim walk back to their seats.

Next up is Peeta but Kat goes up with him. Peeta has such a way with words I know he will makes all cry. "Okay so Thresh was a great person. To everyone. He was caring, loving, and protective over his loved ones. He was like the glue that held everyone together. Thresh was also a teacher. He taught me many lessons but only one sticks in my mind. That lesson is that you-you" he starts crying,"you can't give up on family because they are the reason. They are the reason god gave you life. They are your purpose," he puts his cards down. I am crying so hard I can't even see. Many people are in the same state as me.

Kat steps up next, "I can't make any promises that I will be able to speak but I will try," she is already crying harder than I have ever seen. "Thresh could always keep a promise and that is a trait I wish that I could hav- I'm sorry I can't," Kat breaks down and Peeta holds her and brings her back to her seat.

All the other misfits make a speech. Some of us manage to say our whole speech but some people like Marvel, Clove, Annie, and Cato have to stop. Before I know it I am called up to speak. I am a mess of emotions so it takes me a second to start speaking.

"Thresh was not only my boyfriend but my family. He was an inspiration to all and he will be missed. I will miss him being protective over me, and making me laugh and pretty much everything about him. But the thing I am going to miss most is that he was part of this group called the misfits," everyone of the misfits break down at that, I continue speaking, "and he was a big part of us. Our misfit safe house will never be properly built without him. That's all I wanted to say." While my feet walk me down to my chair I get many claps on the back from my fellow misfits. I can't hold back my tears. I sit in my chair and wait for the funeral to be over.

I made it. And thresh I did it for you.

A/N :( oh dear I am crying so hard actually.
