Epilogue

She looks so peaceful,” Prim says. She clings onto Buttercup even tighter and walks back to her seat. Peeta stays beside Katniss, holding her hand gently. Her white dress flows down to her knees, her hair is tied in it’s usual braid with jasmines weaved in, making her like an angel.

Her hands feel cold and her skin is pale. The mortician did her best to make Katniss look fine and healthy. But anyone with eyes could see her light green veins underneath her thin and pale skin. It was as if she’s asleep, Peeta could imagine her eyelids fluttering before revealing her beautiful grey eyes.

Reaching into his pocket, Peeta pulls out the infamous lavender bracelet and slips it onto her frail wrist. He smiles before walking down the steps, towards his family.

<><><><><><><> 

The funeral went by quickly, in no time, Peeta finds himself walks with his family back to the car. Suddenly someone calls his name and he turns around. It was Glimmer, dressed in all black. For once she didn’t wear anything scandalous. “I think we should leave you guys for a while,” Mary says. “We’ll meet you in the car.”

They turn to walk away, but before they do, Prim runs to Glimmer and gives her a slap across the face. “That’s for my sister!” she yells and runs off crying.

“I deserved that,” Glimmer says when Prim is out of sight. Peeta just nods and keeps his head down.

“Look Peeta… I’m sorry-“

“Don’t. Just don’t,” Peeta says. “I’m not in the mood for it.”

“I know, but just hear me out for a minute.”

Peeta sighs, “Okay. 1 minute. That’s all.”

“I’m sorry. I really am. And I know saying that doesn’t cut it but I mean it. Something happened Peeta, when we were together. I couldn’t shake off the feeling that you were different. I still love you Peeta.”

“Really? You are choosing this time to say that!” Peeta yells. Glimmer shrinks slightly. “Is this a joke? Another bet? Saying I’m sorry doesn’t mean anything and neither is saying I love you. We’ve said that to each other more than a billion times! And every single time I meant it. But you didn’t, you just made a joke out of it!”

“Peeta-“

“No more Guinevere. No more.” Glimmer winces; people only say her full name when they’re mad. Peeta turns to walk away but stops in his tracks. “I always said I loved you most. But I realize now, it wasn’t true.”

“It was my sister. It has always been my sister, and now… I’ll never have a chance to tell her.” He walks off with tears streaming down his face.
