Chapter 6 || Cut out all the ropes and let me fall

Chapter 6 || Cut out all the ropes and let me fall

Katniss walks up onto the platform like stage they have set up, she walks slowly as if every single step she takes is an effort. Her chocolate hair hangs loose behind her back with a blood red bow clipped on. How could they do this to her? She doesn't deserve this. No one does. The things she told Annie the other day; What did they mean? I may never know but I wish I did. She has built these terribly thick and sturdy walls around herself. Not a single feeling or emotion has ever slipped from her facade. She's a vast sea of mysteries that I will soon explore.

Her soft angelic voice interrupts me from my thoughts, her voice expresses so much emotion as if she is pouring out her heart for the very first time.

All of a sudden the microphone falls onto the ground with a loud 'thud'. Everything is in slow motion after that she runs off stage tears pouring out of her silver eyes slowly making their way down her mascara stained cheeks. She pushes through the crowd and somehow gets out of the house. She is out of our sight, sprinting off like the speed of light.

I have to get her is the only think that runs through my mind. I begin to shove through the crowd of people.

"Go get her lover boy," Finnick slurs as he tramples over a passed out person.

"Fuck off Finnick,"

And with that I sprint out of the house chasing after Katniss. Sweat trickles down my forehead as I run on the tar road. The moons not out tonight. The only light source are the street lamps that stand high above me.

Running for a little longer, I stop abruptly. There she is; sitting on the curb of the road. Elbows on her thighs as her head is braced between her hands. Shaking and trembling drastically as she sobs uncontrollably.

"Prim why did you ever leave me?" she cries.

All I want is to have her in my embrace, tell her that everything will be okay, because it will be maybe not now but it will, I want to comfort her, reassure her, I want to show her that the world is not a death machine but a gift.

"Katniss," I call out.

She suddenly stops shaking and sobbing. There is an eerie silence lingering in the air, the only sound is the wind, dancing in the starry night sky. She slowly looks up and looks at me right in the eye. Her eyes are red and puffy, and yet again there are mascara stains on her face. She quickly stands up and wipes the tears that have slipped from her eyes.

KATNISS POV

"Katniss," he calls out.

I stop crying and slowly look up to see him. Peeta. What is he doing here? Why did he follow me? Why does he care? No one cares about me. All these thoughts and questions race through my head. I quickly stand up and wipe the tears that have slipped from my eyes.

"P-please j-just leave me alone," I plead.

"I just want to help you," He says, his voice is sincere and gentle as if he were approaching a wounded animal.

"No!" I yell.

"I don't need your pity,"

"I don't need anything from you! Not your pity, not your kindness nothing," I cry.

"Bu-t," I cut him off.

"I just want to be alone," I mutter as a round of tears roll down my cheeks that are most likely coated in mascara by now.

"Please,"

Catching him off guard I run. The wind flying against me making my hair go everywhere. My thoughts jumbled in my head do not help me focus as I run on the dark tar road. I turn back to see Peeta atleast 3 metres away from me, slowly catching up. I sprint faster, I won't let him get to me, I just can't. Everything that I have lived by will obliterate and come crashing down before my eyes. I will betray myself if I do.

Exhaustion over comes me and I start to slow down my pace. my heart is racing at a speed that I would never expect it to reach, my breaths are short and don't seem to fill my lungs.

I lean against an old wooden fence trying to catch my breath. Everything feels so surreal and out of place, my eye sight is blurry and distorted as well.

"K-k-atniss," It says.

I look up and see Peeta, his hands clasp my shoulders, the way Gale did.

Memories come flooding back to me all at once, ones of Gale and some of Prim.

Panic Attack is the only thing that I can fathom before I black out.

Cliff hanger again Ahaha

What do you guys think will happen??

I am so sorry I haven't updated for aaaaggggeeeeessssssss,

I went through a really bad writers block, and when ever I tried writing this chapter I just got stuck, I knew what I wanted to write I just didn't know how to. You could say life hated my guts because later on when I wanted to try to write the chapter my laptops files corrupted, we had to take it back to the store and they had to 'analyse' it and do all the stuff they do when they check the computer...

Like I said I am so sorry, I will try an make my updates more frequent, but yeah please pint out any mistakes as well and I love getting feedback as well

Thankyou!!!
