Chapter 5
-Katniss's POV-
I'm only 17 but I bought a house. I'll take care of Iris here. She's basically like a daughter to me now. The house is a 5 story house. It has a pool, my grand bedroom, Iris's room which is huge too, a garden, 15 guest bedrooms, a huge backyard that connects to the meadow.
I dress Iris in a dress that is yellow with white polka dots, and had a white ribbon in the middle, and a pair of white baby flats.
I wrap her in a blanket and set her in the stroller. I put on a black tanktop, Nike shorts, and a pair of Michael Jordan's. I push Iris in her stroller to the park. People from school gasp and whisper to each other as I pass. Oh no. They think Iris is my actual daughter.
Now I'm more of a slut to them. I start running to the funeral home with Iris. I fall into the ground. I take handfuls of dirt and cry in front of two graves that say "MARTHA A. EVERDEEN." And "JOHN S. EVERDEEN."
"Mommy and Daddy." I start crying."I now take care of Iris Foster, Aster's daughter. I'm not mad at you for talking about Aster but I'm stuck now. People think I'm even more of a slut because of Iris, they think I'm a teen mom. I'm just trying to help Iris to get a part of family. Also even I never met Aster I feel like I owe her this." I say.
Suddenly I feel a pair of strong arms pick me up. Peeta. "I'm so sorry Katniss." He says. I just shake my head as if to say don't apologize.
"Peeta can you watch Iris for me?" I ask. He nods and hugs me. I love him but apparently he doesn't back. I go home really quick. I look on my Facebook and Instagram. There's notes from people that say hateful things. I'm so done with the last comment "she should kill herself."
I out on my video camera and take a deep breathe.
"This is Katniss Everdeen. To everyone I'm not a slut and I'm not a teen mom. Iris is my niece who I take care of. My sister Aster and her husband passed away because of a shooting. I never knew them but I owe her this. She probably helped out with me when I was just a little baby. Iris needs me now. I only had one boyfriend and he hated me so I broke up with him! Delly made me dress like that because she wanted a BFF who would be just like her. I'm not going to kill myself. I had a hard past. My parents died and I had to live with my cousin when my sister lived with my other cousin. I just want to sing something to you guys." I say and grab my guitar.
"I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one
I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that's what you ask
Give you all I am
I can do it
I can do it
I can do it
But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human
I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything
I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it
But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human
I can take so much
'Til I've had enough
'Cause I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human." I sing hitting high note perfectly.
I post it on there,
That will show them.
