16-LAMBERT VS MELLARK

➳➳➳➳

The two teenagers interlocked their hands together, laughing about nonsense. They were in a good spot in their lives-everything was good. They had each other and the rest of the lives together, away from the district and the system. In just a few weeks they would flee from District 12, before the 74th Hunger Games. Nova smiled as the sun shined down on her flawless skin. The lovebirds were currently on their way back home from their day in the meadow. They stopped when they heard shouting coming from their neighborhood. Peeta lead her along towards their houses, and they saw each other's parent hollering at each other.

"You sir, are a no good filthy, bastard!" Peeta's mother hissed at Nova's father.

"I'm a filthy bastard? You are a cow," her father shouted.

"Dad?" Nova called out, her voice nearly quivering.

"Mom?" Peeta said, staring at his mother in shock. "What's going on?"

"What's going on, is you're never allow to see Nova again," Peeta's mother sneered, ripping her son's grip out of the blonde girls hand.

"And you, are not allow to see Peeta again," Nova's father pulled his daughter to him.

"You can't do this!" Peeta shouted at both of them.

"We love each other!" Nova insisted, as she pulled away from her father's grip, running over to Peeta.

Peeta wrapped his arms around her, as Nova nuzzled her face into his chest. There was no way their parents were going to keep them apart; their fight was between them, not their children.

"Over my dead body," Nova's father muttered, grabbing onto his daughter's arm, dragging her towards their house.

"Peeta!" She shouted, watching him being dragged away by his mother.

"Nova!"

Her father pushed her inside the house, slamming the front door shut. The man sighed loudly, sitting down at the table. It was silent for awhile, before Nova took a seat across from her father at the table. Her jaw was locked, as her arms were crossed over her chest, her shoes tapping impatiently against the floor.

"What the fuck happened?!" Nova shouted out of nowhere.

"Language, " her father scowled at her.

"Who the hell cares about my fucking language? What gives you the right to forbid me from seeing Peeta? I don't give a flying fuck if you and Ms Mellark had a disagreement about something, that made you guys get pissy with each other. But don't you dare put Peeta and I in the middle of it," the blonde hollered at her father. If this was a cartoon, steam would coming out of her ears, as her face would be beat red.

"No-"

"Don't No, me dad. This is unbelievable," she huffed. "What caused this to happen anyway?" The blonde questioned.

Her father rubbed his temple, before sighing once again. He looked up at his daughter, sorrow hiding in the whites of his eyes. "Ms Mellark said something about your mother..."

"She what?!" Nova screeched, making her father abruptly stand up. "What did she say?"

"She said that...your mother was incredibly dense for thinking that their was hope in the world," her father spoke, causing Nova to frown.

"That's it? Dad, I'm sorry if this sounds disrespectful to mom, but that isn't bad. She was dense for thinking that. But that's nothing to get completely pissed about," Nova sternly told her father.

"She insulted the memory of your mother," he hissed.

"It's not like she desecrated on mom's grave. Ms Mellark stated a fact," Nova shook her head, before she walked to her room.

"You're still forbidden from seeing Peeta," her father shouted after her.

"Well see about that," Nova shouted right back.
