''I'm getting married.''

''WHAT!?''

Stop! And rewind. How the hell did this happen? Can somebody please, please slap some sense into this woman?


Twenty-four hours ago

It's three pm and voices can be heard in the Everdeen's household.

Katniss POV:

''I still think you should go,'' insists Patrick, my neighbour.

He lives with his two cats, Ginger and Marble. Yeah, talk about lonely. I sometimes wonder if I shall end up like him, an old lady with cats and parrots. Nonetheless, he has become quite a friend. We grew to be very fond of his wittiness.

''You know how i feel about blind dates, Patrick.'' Says Mrs Everdeen.

''Kat, your mum's in the dating zone again?'' Glimmer gaped.

I playfully roll my eyes. Glim. I've known her since I was...well...since I was born. Our parents were really close friends. At first, we disliked one another, always competing for someone's affection, but after both of our dads died in a car accident, something changed...I guess she was the only person at that time that understood me. We were best friends ever since.

''I doubt that. Clearly she doesn't want to date, neither do i want her to. Although, if it would make her happy, she'd have my full support,'' I said.

'' Oh, come on, Katniss. Make her a profile on a dating site. My mum has one. You cannot expect her to go through life without a man's support, can you?'' she winked.

''Ugh, fine! When have you become so wise?'' I pouted.

''Pft, bitch please. Boys and dating are my two favorite words,'' she smirked.

I grinned, '' Shut up, and help me here. What's our username going to be?''

''Hmm, how about... sexy mamma?'' I glared at her.

''Trust me.''

''My mum is so going to kill me.'' We laughed it off.

twenty minutes passed.

''Ooh, we have a winner. Ben. Handsome...hobbies...cliff diving, reading, hiking...he's perfect. The date is set for eight o'clock,'' Glim said.

''And how is my mum going to agree on a date?'' I could see an evil glint in her eyes.

'' We make her.'' She started laughing maniacally.


The kitchen

Mrs Everdeen POV:

''Mum,'' Katniss murmured.

''Yes, sweetheart?'' I replied.

''Don't get mad and hear me out, ok?'' I frown.

This outta be good.

''Please tell me you didn't do something stupid in school again, right?'' I asked.

''No,um, I ju- ''

''Good,'' I cut in,''You have to go to a good college, and your reputation isn't quite marvelous.''

Katniss rolled her eyes. She was caught smoking on school properties. I know it was a one time thing, but if her father was here, she wouldn't have done all these stupid things. Maybe Patrick was right. Maybe she really needs a father figure, and I can't lie I was really sane after his death. It's been nine years. The first two years Katniss had to look out for Prim, because I was so incapable.

''Mum! I want you to go on a date,'' she blurted out.

''What?'' I was shocked.

''Look, you've been working hard to raise me and Prim by yourself, and I think its time you do something for you. Just one date. If it doesn't work out, I won't say a word on this topic ever again.''

I sigh. ''I guess one date won't hurt.''

''Great, it's at eight o'clock at the Capitol restaurant.''

''Wait, today? KATNISS !'' I yell.


Katniss POV:

I ran straight to my room and locked the door. Oh, god. What have I gotten myself into?

''Soo, how did it go?'' Glimmer asked with a devious smirk plastered on her face.

''She said yes, I think,'' I replied nervously.

''Then why do you look like someone hit you with a baseball bat? Tonight, we are celebrating!'' She started jumping on the bed.

''Come on, join me,'' she giggled.

Oh, what have you gotten yourself into?


It's half past seven and Mrs Everdeen is getting ready.

''So,how do I look?''

''You look smoking hot . He'll never know what hit him,'' Glimmer grinned.

Mrs Everdeen giggled at her comment and Katniss joined her.

''Okay girls, I'm off...dinner is in the fridge. Glimmer, I spoke with your mum. She's fine with you sleeping over tonight. Be on your best behavior, I won't be long.''

''Okay mum, have a good time,'' she kissed her mother goodbye, and off she went through the door.


At The Capitol restaurant.

Mrs Everdeen POV:

In the bathroom.

This night is really not going according to plan. I knew I shouldn't have come. Yeah, he is quite good looking, but can he be anymore shallow? He can't be a father to my girls. And to top it off, he spilled wine on my dress.

I was done drying, and the minute I stepped out a familiar voice called out my name.

''Matilda?''

No,it can't be. I slowly turned around and my whole body froze.

''Derek?''


Present day

'' I'm getting married.''

''WHAT!?''

Apparently, Derek was her high school sweetheart, and it just...happened.

''He has two kids, and we'll be moving in to a new house next week,'' she said with a smile on her face.

She was ...happy. But why aren't I?

''Come on Katniss, you said you'll support her !'' Glimmer whispered in my ear.

Katniss,what have you gotten yourself into.
