Chapter 25

-Katniss's POV-

It sends shivers up my spine when I hear her voice, "Who is this?"

"Mom, it's Katniss." I state, taking a shaky breath. I adjust the phone in my hand and look over to Peeta who is carefully watching me.

"What do you want?" She asks, still mad and disgusted at my recent behavior. I close my eyes, bite my lip and put my hand on my forehead. I look to Peeta and mouth 'I can't do this.' He mouthes back 'She deserves to know.'

I nod, "Mom, I'm pregnant." The phone is dead silent until she screams and I drop my phone of fright. She then yells, "Katniss Shrader Everdeen!"

I pull my knees up to my chest and my breathes quicken, growing closer together. My mom keeps disgusting things at me. Peeta runs to me and hugs me. I finally give in, "STOP!" I scream, high pitched.

My mom shuts up and I hang up. "Katniss-" Peeta starts. I grab my jacket, angrily. I rush out of the house to my mother's.

-Prim's POV-

I just lay in my bed with the book, Legend, and listening to music. Until I hear a knock at the door. I put the book down and take out my earplugs, setting them on my bed. I look at my window and see Katniss at the door. "Oh no." I whisper. I tip toe towards the living room as I hear the door open. My mom answers it. I stay behind the wall and watch carefully. I shake with fear as my mom tries to slap Katniss. Luckily she catches her hand.

"How dare you!" Katniss uproars at mom. "How dare I? How dare you! You filthy mutt." She spits at Kat. "Oh, I'm the mutt? I didn't call my daughter's baby a disgusting thing of nature." She says gritting her teeth. I let out a little gasp.

She's pregnant again? I'm going to be an aunt!

"Well have you seen her mother?" My mom comments, harshly.

Katniss's eyes widen and I can see she wants to strangle her. Honestly, I do too with her behavior. "You are a terrible excuse of a mother. Can't you see I'm trying?" Katniss says, starting to burst into tears. My mom's face softens for a moment and I see her old self coming back. Till she scowls and pushes out Katniss. Katniss's lip folds and she looks at my mother, helplessly. The look on her face makes tears form in my eyes.

Mom slams the door in her face then mumbles, "Crybaby." This makes me furious. I stomp towards her, my long blonde hair flowing behind me.

"Crybaby?" I question. She is startled and jumps. "Primrose! Don't scare me like that!" She scolds. "Don't call my sister a crybaby. She has been through way more than you have." I say, harsh.

My mother laughs.

"My husband died and my daughter is a slut!" She says, scowling. I slam my hand on the table. "Are you freaking serious? Katniss is not a slut. Her first baby died and she blamed herself for it! She went into depression, cutting, drinking, and smoking! Then had to move away from the only man who kept her sane. She only dated Nick to help your job! He was a jerk to her. She thought of you before herself! Then her mom hates her and her dad is dead. Now she is pregnant and scared! You're luckily she even told you because most girls would be too scared. I would be! So tell me again, how damn hard is your life?" I scream in her face.

Her face is pale and blank. "That's what I thought." I whisper and stomp away to my room, outraged at my mother.

She's a witch.
