Bad Boy Vs Good Girl

Chapter 21

Im nice so im updating extra extra early!

Its been a week since Katniss was stung by that stingray. That means its a weekend again. Shes been in the hospital, shes in intensive care and their saying she may not make it. But theres a %5 chance she'll make it. I really hope she does, but theres always that little annoying thing at the back of my head knowing she won't. Her 'mother' has been in and out of Katniss' room, crying her eyes out, she stays by Katniss' side until the nurses tell her she has to go. I have been in Katniss' room after school, everyday since it happened. I haven't been able to sleep, the memory burned into my brain. At school every single one of her friends have been quiet, including me, i haven't been talking, eating or even smiling as much, Delly keeps trying to get me to take her out, i always say no, but she just keeps doing it, and i know I'm going to snap soon. I have been realising what she was doing to Katniss in the past, and i haven't said anything, and to be honest i don't know why i haven't, i guess its because if i say something wrong Katniss will hate me. But it doesn't matter anymore. Katniss is pretty much gone, and i hate to say it but its true. Her mother always looks at me with sympathy but mostly hate, anger, betrayal. I know why she hates me, but its not my fault. Its my Fathers. She didn't even go to his funeral. And i despised her for that. She was his best childhood friend, and it brakes me to know why she hated him. She just thinks because I'm his son I'm going to do the same thing in the future.

"Peeta." She sneers at me, when she realises i was in the room before her.

"Mrs. Everdeen, may i please speak to you outside?" She squints, annoyed

"Only for two minutes any longer i will leave in the middle of your sentence." She spits at me,

"Thank you, two minutes is all i need." I smile, she stops squinting and her lip quirks up, but quickly returns to a scowl.

When i meet her outside Katniss' room i start to speak,

"Mrs. Everdeen, i know this isnt the best time to bring up this subject, but why do you hate me so much? It cant be because of what happened to Katniss, is it because of my father and your husband?" Her face softens,

"Peeta, i know i haven't been the best to you over these past years, but i just cant forget about what your Father did-" i cut her off,

"You were his best friend! You cant just simply, turn on him like that! You didn't even show up to his funeral!"

"Have you thought maybe why i didn't?"

I walk up to her and get up to her face,

"Because your a cold heartless bitch, because you don't have feelings, Because he killed you husband and daughter!"

She gasps and slaps me across the face, i step back, dazed.

"You Do Not talk to ME like that! You do not have the authority! That is not the reason i did not show up to his funeral, boy!"

"First off don't call me boy, and i think i do have authority, I'm not related to you! Im pretty much your adopted nephew! Just because my dad slammed into the car! You cant just go around talking like your the only one who has had family members die! I lost everyone. My mother. My two brothers. And my father. So don't go walking around sulking because you lost TWO people in your life! I lost everyone! Im all thats left! And if you didn't come to his funeral at least tell me why! You should at least give me that! And don't tell me because you loved him! I don't need anymore bullshit! Please just tell me." I say tears at the rims of my eyelids,

She looks down, a lone tear making its way down her cheek.

"Im sorry... You see thats the only thing, i did love him, and i couldn't stand seeing him in the condition, me and him, we always loved each other, we just didn't want to admit it to each other, and when we finally did, it was too late, i was pregnant with Katniss, your dad already had two sons and you on the way, so we had to keep it a secret."

I stay quiet thinking up the facts in my head before finally putting it all together,

"So you had an affair..."

"Im sorry,"

"No, don't bother, keep it, its been two minutes." I walk away to the elevator in front of us, i step in and stare at her, before the doors closed all i heard was the flatline noise of Katniss' heart stopping, and her mothers screams of loss.
