I wake up with a start. I look around at my surroundings. I'm laying on the couch, with a blanket traced over my body. No one else is in the living room. They must of all left.
I throw the blanket off of me, and walk into the kitchen. No one in there. So yup, they all left last night. I trudge up the stairs and walk into the bathroom.

I finally make it home. My doors is always unlocked so I just stroll in. I slip off my shoes and set my bow and arrow to the side. I walk into the living room. And for the second time in the past 24 hours, Peeta Mellark is stirring on my couch. With a very worried look
