Chapter 9

"Katniss, you can't just bail!" Oliver said, blocking the doorway like a stubborn bouncer, his face set in stone.

Katniss shot him a look of pure disdain. "I don't need to stick around in this fake-ass house, Oliver. You're just a loser trying to save face!"

"How dare you!" Oliver roared, his face turning red. "You think you can just walk out on the family? Who do you think you are?"

Katniss didn't flinch. "I don't want to stay with a narrow-minded, hypocritical jerk any longer!"

Oliver's anger hit the roof, his eyes blazing. "You ungrateful brat! You're not leaving until you explain yourself."

"What do you want to hear? I'm not wrong. Desmond and I broke off the engagement, so now Clara can date Desmond without any drama. What more do you want?" Katniss snapped back. This whole mess was for that, right? Now that she had stepped aside, how was it her fault?

Oliver never wanted Katniss to break off the engagement. Sure, she was a pain sometimes, but she was still his daughter.

Seeing Katniss trying to keep it together, Oliver felt a heavy weight in his chest. He wanted to explain, but the words just wouldn't come out.

Katniss's eyes were full of disappointment. As she turned to leave, tears fell on the back of her hand, cold and heart-wrenching.
