I'm thinking of making the song "Titanium" by David Guetta and Sia somehow related to this story…I don't know. Post your thoughts on the song!

The little blond girl is struggling in Dad's arms, trying to get to the floor. "Whoa, Birdie. Hold on," Peeta says, setting the young girl on the floor. Immediately she catches sight of me, and struts over to me and smiles a bit deviously. "Hello. It's a pleasure for you to meet me." She says, drawing out the 'e' in pleasure. I smile and laugh lightly. "I'm Tori. How old are you?" I ask with the tone of voice I used to use on Babette when she was in one of her moods. Birdie's face lights up, but her hands stay planted on her small hips. "I'm 7. How old are you?" She points at me and then replaces her hand on her hip. "I'm 16." Birdie looks taken aback and then smiles. "Then you can be our big sister!" She says happily. She flops down on the couch and removes a sleeping Hunter from my lap, slumping him on the floor. "Oh…" I say, motioning for Effie to come over and pick him up, because Birdie is restraining my arms from doing anything but holding her.

I look down at Birdie and smile happily. Is this what it feels like to be happy? I mean, I was happy in District 1, with my friends and family. But this is my true, blood related family.

Later that evening, Effie and Haymitch leave me with Katniss and Peeta. I'm scared, I guess. I still don't know what to expect, and when to expect it. Will Mom be strict? Will Dad be pushy? Haymitch and Effie were neither. They were forgiving and a bit permissive. They let me do whatever I wanted, date whoever I wanted, be friends with anyone I wanted without giving a word about it. I never had to ask if friends could come over or spend the night. My boyfriend spent the night once, and they didn't give a care about it. When I tearfully bid goodbye to the people who have been my parents for the last 16 years, Birdie and Hunter were hanging on my legs. I knew this isn't going to be easy.

When Effie and Haymitch left, I turned around and told Birdie and Hunter I needed to talk to Mommy and Daddy. When I pushed open the door to the large kitchen, wondrous smells greeted me. I walked into the kitchen to the table, where Aviana was coloring a picture. "Here," Aviana says, tearing out the picture and handing it to me. It is a picture of supposedly Birdie, Aviana, and Hunter in my arms. I tear up at the picture, wondering why they already trust me so much. "Thank you, so much Aviana," I praise happily before getting up to go up to my room.

I hastily walk up the granite stairs, and shuffling into my room quietly, closing the door. I've been dreading unpacking my suitcases, but I know it had to be done. Everything that Effie and Haymitch bought me was packed snugly in the cases. A small tear rolled down my cheek as I looked at each person in the 'family' photo-Haymitch, Effie, Babette, Jacko, and me. I guess I'm not apart of their happy family anymore. I don't know what to feel. Happiness? Sadness? Resentment against Katniss? I gently rub my thumb against the picture of us in District 4. I remember Babette and Jacko happily laughing and splashing each other, Haymitch and Effie sipping margaritas, and me, lying peacefully in the soft white sand, letting the sun take over.

After that visit to District 4, I found out that Haymitch and Effie were sending me back to District 12. I had to leave everything just for the wishes of my mother. I sat crossed-legged on my bed, and began to weep into my hands. I yearned for Leo to hold me against his warm chest, for Babette to compliment me on clothes, even for Effie's constant bickering. Leo. I thought. He wasn't my boyfriend, but he was…more then a friend to me. Like a big brother, yet like a boyfriend mixed into one.

I got up from my bed, with fresh tears still falling from my blotchy, itchy face. I am suddenly overpoweringly angry, and throw the crystal lamp at the bare white wall. The lamp shatters into a million little pieces, like my heart did when I left District 1. There. It's gone forever, just like my life in District 1.

Soo, in the beginning it's a little fluffy, but gets better. The next chapter will be much more interesting.
